Good move for both Rio and United, but Ridsdale held you to ransom on the asking price.

Hes  good but is he fuck worth 30 million.  Hes worth about 20 at the most.  He will do well at Man Utd but I don think he is worth that much. HAHA fuck the red shite no bowyer, hahahaha.

It's only too much money if you can't afford it


Check this back five now, pretty good:


                     Carroll

Neville G     Blanc       Ferdinand     Silvestre


BTW it's almost certain that Carroll is number 1 now.  We beat Shelbourne 5 - 0 yesterday and everyone had their squad numbers on their new shirts and Carroll had number 1.  Plus on the new season tickets their is loads of pics of Carroll and none of Barthez.

Dam feel sorry for barthez hes a great keeper, so he fucks up sometimes, what keeper doesnt.  Hes such a good keeper, better than Carol.  Sorry bud that back 5 seems weak to me.

Not impressed by that back line, its decent, but not great.

Fucks up sometimes

My arse

He fucked up at Highbury
He fucked up against Deportivo
He fucked up at Anfield
He fucked up in Leverkusen

And he generally is a liability

The way I see it is that we had the 8th best defence last season.  We've got rid (probably) of an unstable keeper and added England and possibly Europe's best defender to our side.  We scored far more goals than anyone else and as long as we concede 10 less goals we'll win the title.

U can say that about n e 1 tho, as long as

Arsenal
Newcastle
Liverpool
Chealsea
Everton
Charlton

dont conceed 10 goals you are saying they will win the league.

This is presuming every other team stays and plays exactly the same as last season, typical Man Utd arrogance, the same as displayed throughout last season, i thought you might've been humbled by losing the title at Old Trafford.

Nope

I'm saying as long as our attack is as good as last season and as long as our defence improves by 8 goals then we'll win the league.

And Joachim I expect Arsenal to be fairly similar as you have pretty much the same team, only one slight change to the team while we have made a major change.

Arsenal wont be the same team as last year, as hopefully we'll have our first team fit throughout the season unlike last season, the only first team players consistently fit last year were Campbell, Lauren, Henry, Bergkamp, Pires and Vieira, thats six first team players yet we still done the double. Hopefully we'll have our whole squad fit and ready and if we do, im confident we'll win the league again.

You weren't the only ones with an injury crisis.

You are essentially the same team.  You know that and I know that.

I never claimed we were the only team with an injury crisis, but please be my guest and name a team who suffered a bigger injury crisis.

Again, we will not be the same team if we have our whole first team fit throughout the season, we will undeniably be alot stronger.

U r totally forgeting something.  Both of you.  There are 18 more teams in the league that could win it. its not all about Man utd and Arsenal this season.  I think every team has really got a chance of doing well. I aitn saying a team like Charlton can win it cos that unrealistic but teams that have spent big this season such as BOLTON are underdogs and I think they will give teams trouble next season.  

Newcastle
Leeds
Chealsea
Liverpool

Its not all about you 2 teams.

Well, add Liverpool, and that's what it's all about really, the 3 Greatest Teams in the History of the English game!

I will bet either of you any money that the winners of the prem will come from those three teams

Post by: Joachim on July 22, 2002, 10:18:26 AM
Oi Jay, according to Sky Sports, El Tel has vowed too make Man Utd sorry for signing Ferdinand.

So considering how bad Leeds are at football, he'll be making prank phone calls to Old Trafford all season  ;D
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: Jay ay Beee on July 22, 2002, 10:20:34 AM
LMAO

And who is that ugly guy in your avatar??

I heard we are competing for Gudjohnsen's signature
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: Joachim on July 22, 2002, 10:25:29 AM
1. Some fool who schooled Roy Keane at Old Trafford last year, dunno his name.

2. Yeah i heard, i dont personally rate him, but obviously Fergie and Wenger do. He is a good player and has the potential to be very good im just not a fan.

I heard your lot put a bid in for Rivaldo, your thoughts?
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: Jay ay Beee on July 22, 2002, 10:37:11 AM
I dunno about that, he would add something different up front but I could only see him leading to selection problems.  

You need another striker more than us so I  expect you to get Gudjohnsen as Bates hates us
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: bez on July 22, 2002, 10:38:45 AM
What bout everton then, we have signed a good brazillain stiker called RODRIGO and we are supposed to be signing RICHARD WRIGHT within days.
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: Jay ay Beee on July 22, 2002, 10:47:20 AM
And that's exactly why you are Everton

Post by: Joachim on July 22, 2002, 10:55:28 AM
Richard Wright is better then Simonsen, but then Poom is better then Wright imo, Moyes should've gone with him.
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: bez on July 22, 2002, 11:00:38 AM
Poom is no way better than WRIGHT.  WRIGHT will be amazing for us next season if we get him, are defense keeps getting stronger and stronger and a class keeper like him is all we need.  

Poom is not that much of a good keeper and at least with WRIGHT being 24 we know that in the future he will be the best in the country bar proberly KIRKLAND, and we know that we could proberly get to a point where we could sell him and make a good profit.  Poom cant be that much of a good keeper if he got relegated last season.  

Wright is 24 Poom is 30, I think WRIGHT is better now than Poom and I think WRIGHT has all the qualities to be the best in europe by the time he is 27/28.  He  only fucked up for Arsenal last season because of his lack of first team football, at least with Everton he will be playing every game and he will hopefully get his IPSWICH touch back.  

PEace
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: Joachim on July 22, 2002, 11:04:58 AM
True, i never realised Poom was so old, in that case Wright is the better option in the long run, he'll do well for you, he's a good keeper if a little inconsistent. Did'nt you get Yobo aswell? He looks like he'll do aight especially if Moyes is building a decent defence.
Title: Re: Rio - £30Million  Thanks a lot
Post by: bez on July 22, 2002, 11:45:31 AM
Yer man we got him for a year and then if he settles in and likes the place then he has the option of staying for longer. Which is really dope.  I hope moyes plays  him and wier and has stubbs on the bench but its good for a team to have competition for places.

Everton now have 6 first team football strikers.
Kevin Campbell (Shit)
Joe Max Moore (I feel would be ok for us if we gave him a good long run, but it will never happen)
Tomaz Radzinski (A good fast players who I think is good)
Duncan Ferguson (A great player, when hes fit)
Wayne Rooney (Will be great for the club if he can do what he has done in the reserves for the first team and stay out of injury)
Rodrigo (Suppose to be a great player that just missed out on Brazil's World Cup Squad.

So at least we will have alot of battles for places up front

I still feel we need a good center mid player tho. But what do I know hey.

I heard Rodrigo was a central midfielder?
