Doing things the Turkish way?

Someone must also make a pile of commission selling stationary and office supplies to afford all those euro scouting trips.

Glasgow has watched him regularly, so I'd defer to his judgment on this one. True it's on the record GS wasn't convinced by the signing of Lovren but everyone has an off day.

Like the piece in the Nouvel Obs http://m.nouvelobs.com/article/20131230.OBS0906/la-quenelle-d-anelka-un-geste-anti-systeme-le-web-ironise.html

Can see West Ham panic-buying him.

Nothing to do with Islam -Dieudonné and his 'intellectual' followers (e.g. Alain Soral) are more a throwback to the 60s (as practiced in continental Europe, not the hippy Anglo-American kind) with a bit of Chuck D thrown in.

Don't disagree- if you're good enough, you're good enough. And frankly the path to CB is hardly chockablock with academy wunderkinds - the likes of Stephens have shown few signs that they're going to make it. If anything, bringing in a jack-of-all-trades, older player would be more prepared to take a backseat to the likes of Shaw, especially if they're also in contention for CB. Possibly the links in the summer with Demichelis, if serious, had a similar rationale. The only saving grace with buying younger players is obviously their resale value - one reason why Ramirez will never be a complete flop. The same possibly can't be said about Osvaldo - if it's clear he's not cut out for the prem, better to quit while we're relatively ahead than wait and risk a fall in his value.

Too old for the 'project'

That MP is pointing out the standard of refereeing has been poor? Makes a change from NA refusing to criticise refs and constantly reminding us how hard their jobs are.

Yes ramires will be back from suspension for our game.

Only in because Ramires is out - will be back for us.

87th minute The ref had a perfect view as well. Was another shout for handball just before/after.

Sure they're right at home (save being on the rob for the fleetwood mac)

JWP was worse - they'll both come on. Certainly seen more good games from Shaw than bad or mediocre ones.

What? We picked up most second balls - everything was fine until the final third and even there we got into dangerous positions.

Better team lost.

FFS prowse - put a foot in

Been much better than Everton

Overdoing it FFS

Thick as pig s**t scousers getting wound up over nothing

Corner

Everton aren't anything special

lino is having a shocker

Think our midfield is a lot weaker than people assume.
