  1. Lucky you didnt meet up with Glasgow in that hotel after all.
  2. I think you mean 'should'
  3. Like a lot of crimes some some offenders are opportunists and some are 'careerist'
  4. It would certainly help avoid you missing the point again.
  5. Looks the sort
  6. We have a winner. Toot
  7. There is one, the PSV guy at 10, but the fact that Tadic created 50% more than him just adds to the evidence
  8. I wonder if Pochettino is having second thought yet
  9. ****ing hell. The more you post the more it becomes apparent how narcissistic you are. You aren't my nemesis, you're just some weirdo conspiracist who posts crap on a football forum. Tip, Take yourself and your crusade to educate the world and drop the scales from the sheeples eyes less seriously.
  10. Fraser Forster is far better than the others mentioned, is still only 26 and apparently available for £6m. We should go for him. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/benfica-line-up-6million-move-3830929
  11. No, he was pointing out that the muck is already everywhere, its part of the human condition. Its far better to live in a society where its acknowledged, dealt with and punished (even if imperfectly) than in a society where public authorities don't enquire into what goes on in the home - the large majority of countries around the world.
  12. Everyone likes their knob polished
  13. Pathetic Pap. You'd be held in less contempt if you held your hands up and just said "sorry, I misunderstood" sometimes. FYI he isnt saying two wrongs make a right, simply that Rallyboy's self flagellation on behalf of the UK as being uniquely abhorrent in this regard was wrong. stuox is right, if you're looking for a moral vacuum, look closer to home.
  14. Wanyama - Schneiderlin Ramirez - S Davis - Tadic That would be an awesome midfield.
  15. Would be an odd signing given the fact we've currently got no senior strikers. We'd still need to sign two others and then have too many in Dec /Jan when Benteke and Rodriguez were fit. .
  16. He played for them last night so its unlikely he's 'striking' or off somewhere for negotiations. From all the different tweets it looks as though he definitely wants to leave but it wont necessarily be to us.

  18. Deduction mixed with guess. If the medical has been done contract signed and pictures taken an announcement between and 5pm doesnt seem far fetched.
  19. Jeez, thats one big echo. He turned down the move before the Shaw deal went through.
  20. Got a Blackberry Z10 because I need the push email. Every apple freak will tell you its achingly uncool but its excellent and you can get it new for around £200 now.
  21. Dusan Tadic: The Eredivisie’s best player MICHIEL JONGSMA on 8 July, 2014 at 08:28 Don’t be fooled by the neat passing of Daley Blind, the rampant goalscoring of Alfred Finnbogason or the looks of Graziano Pellè: Dusan Tadic is the best player of the Eredivisie. In 2013-14, the 25-year-old endured his most prolific season to date, aiding FC Twente with 16 league goals and 14 assists and one will feel that the latter could have been even more if the Serbian magician had a more thankful endpoint to his wonderful passing. Tadic is extraordinary. But maybe the most extraordinary of all is that he has just finished his fourth season in the Eredivisie, despite being his club’s best player year-in year-out. Tadic made his mark from the first moment he joined the Eredivisie. Brought in for a fee of €1.1 million at FC Groningen, club director Hans Nijland spoke of it being an honour that such a special talent preferred the club from the north to clubs like Montpellier and Borussia Monchengladbach. Nijland is notorious for building up Groningen players – he once dubbed Oluwafemi Ajilore as ‘the new Essien’, saying that the only thing the Nigerian couldn’t do was head the ball – and it has proven that not any player can cope with the pressure. The aforementioned Ajilore, the club’s record signing, was released after a loan spell at Brondby and could never live up to the hype. Tadic was quite the opposite. DusanTadic2Dusan Tadic first made his name in the Eredivisie for FC Groningen before a big-money move to FC Twente. (Photo: Wikipedia) In the first league game of 2010-11, he faced a right back who had just competed in a World Cup final. Gregory van der Wiel was a confident young man and a rising star with several international games and Champions league experience under his belt. But the current Paris Saint-Germain player has endured few more torrid afternoons than that Sunday in August 2010. After going 2-0 down to Ajax, Tadic inspired his team to a fight back and went on to draw the match 2-2. The Serb was integral with an assist, but mainly impressed with dazzling past Van der Wiel time and time again. Tadic continued to show his great abilities and, with Tim Matavz as his main focal point, he racked up a total of seven goals and 21 assists that season. The latter was only bettered by two players in Europe: Mesut Ozil and Lionel Messi. While Groningen fell apart the next season, the Eastern European continued to impress, and with another seven goals and nine assists in the league, he earned himself a transfer to FC Twente. The fixture list for 2012-13 could not be crueller to Groningen fans as Tadic made his debut in a home game against his former team. The forward singlehandedly beat his former club, aiding Twente with scoring twice and setting up a further two assists in a 4-0 thumping. He raged through the Eredivisie in his first six months for FC Twente, but as the Tukkers machine came to a halt, so did he and while it cost Steve McClaren his job, it merely meant a delay for Tadic, who was still on his way to greater things. There was a slight wonder about him at the start of 2013-14. How was he still an Eredivisie player? With Christian Eriksen and Kevin Strootman gone, surely he would now step up to ensure his status as the Eredivisie’s best? It turned out it was exactly what he did. After FC Twente slumped to 0-0 draw against minnows RKC in their first Eredivisie match without Tadic, it was a 1-4 victory over Feyenoord in the prestigious ‘De Kuip’ that showed how much the 25-year-old was above his fellow professionals. It was not his two goals and assist that drew attention, but his overall intelligence, being one step and sometimes two ahead of every other player on the pitch. His great form continued, turning Twente into title contenders. Again, the Enschede club faded halfway through the season and again, when they struggled, so did he. Or was it the other way around? Tadic was integral in every attacking move and with scoring several winners in the season, he helped Twente to a very respectable third place. Tadic was the standout player. While Quincy Promes on the right deservedly earned a lot plaudits, he was clearly in the shade of the Serbian international. The Serbia star scored 16 goals, made 14 assists and was by far and large the most creative player in the Dutch top flight last season. While his absolute pace is in question, he has the acceleration to make a difference not to mention the technique, finesse and tactical intelligence. He scored the most left-footed shots, gave the most assists and created the most chances of all players in the league in 2013/14, setting his teammates up for four chances per game on average, an outrageous number. For us at BeNeFoot, it is the Serbian who was the best player in the 2013/14. Graziano Pellè was amazing for Feyenoord, Finnbogason integral for sc Heerenveen and Jasper Cillessen practically ‘saved’ Ajax’s title bid this season. But none of them were as dominant as Tadic. A talent so gifted one wonders if he should be guilty about depriving such a player of the world stage for four years.
