#175070 The Lower League Thread
Shola
How come people don't think AFC Wimbledon fans's are complete wankers? 'We don't recognise MK Dons'
#175046 Group D - Costa Rica, England, Italy, Uruguay

I think the 4-2-3-1 is a total non starter for England. We just do not have the players for it. Assuming Henderson is one CM who is the other? Barry, Lampard and Carrick don't have the pace for it, Wilshere doesn't have the reliability or the discipline. Milner is the best choice in the squad. I think Tom Cleverly might actually be the best choice England has. Or Jack Colback.
Also think it puts far too much emphasis on our wingers to get back and defend. Meaning that they can't get at the opposition enough.
Either way I think England just struggle with an absolute dearth of CM's at the minute. And we simply don't have a proper DM. Not even average ones.

Sammy Ameobi linked with Middlesbrough. Very disappointed if Newcastle let him go.
Emre sentenced (won't actually go) to 2 months prison in Turkey for racism. Turks means business.

PEA is alright but he's miles away from Reus. + Kuba, Grosskreutz, Mkhitaryan, Jojic. Gundogan to come back and Hofmann may get promoted.
Not totally implausible that they'd sell, but I reckon they'd be able to get back what they paid, and better clubs would probably be in for him as well.

LET'S GO TO THE JUDGES DECISION. THEY'VE AWARDED A GOAL TO CHAOS II.
In fairness it is an extremely controversial goal. As it is the first goal to be awarded in a World Cup due to goal line technology.

Well Liam Brady is now my number one pundit ever.

Baines just doesn't look good enough. He seems to give away a goal every time he plays someone decent. He just never seems to get called on it. I have very little faith in Lallana and Barkley. And Wilshere looks really out of form.
Thought Rooney was alright. And I have a lot of confidence in Hart, Jagielka and Cahill. Think Johnson is alright as well, shanking a cross out of play is a very minor error in the grand scheme of things.

Prandelli should get sacked at HT though. Why does he pick a good CB at LB and play Gabriel Paletta at CB? MADNESS.

Oh it's Gabriel Paletta, last time I checked he was a Liverpool reserve and Argentinian.

#173501 Newcastle Thread

I don't actually think there is any truth in it. But with Newcastle being linked with Cabella/Grenier/Gomis/Lacazette/PEA it means we're now just waiting for Brett Emerton to complete the bingo card.

#172971 Transfer Rumours 2013/14
Shola
And you're almost certainly right. As it's unlikely a £20m+ player will ever be willing to come to Newcastle.
But I think Newcastle would be prepared to pay for the right player. It is unlikely that a 'right player' will be available. So I guess one way or the other it will be impossible to prove.

How can someone actually get to write in a national newspaper and yet be so completely ignorant of what they are reporting on? Simon Bird literally doesn't know the difference between cash and profit.
And 'significant transfer business' will not affect profit.

Carroll - if you were offered now the mutually exclusive option of
A - Sturridge scores 25 goals next season (and Suarez is sold)
OR
B - Suarez scores 15 goals next season (and Sturridge is sold)
Which option would you choose?
#172953 Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon
Shola
Referee gave everything to Brazil.
Aside from Oscar I wasn't really impressed with any of them.
Perisic, Rakitic and Modric were excellent I though. Olic looked good for a guy in his mid-50's. And I enjoyed him shouting at Jelavic for anything and everything.

Lukaku is much better than Carroll, and Newcastle got £35m for him. And Spurs got £30m for Berbatov, £40m for Modric and £80m for Bale depending on if you class them as a big club.
I reckon if Newcastle signed Lukaku and he had a good couple of seasons, at least one massive club would pay through the nose for him.

There would be loads of resale value. If he was available for £20-£25m Newcastle could easily sell for £40m+ in 2 seasons if he does well.
#172813 Transfer Rumours 2013/14
Shola
I reckon Newcastle would for the right player. (Upto £25m?)
Stars would have to align perfectly, that he is relatively affordable, and no one better comes in for him, and that he is willing to come to Newcastle.
