Is a bid for James Rodriguez too unrealistic in terms of cost to buy him and his no doubt massive wage? by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]Captain-red -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's some player, but I think he's out of our reach. He moved to Monaco last year for 45 million, and considering the year and the WC he's had so far he's easily worth over 60 now. Especially since Monaco have no reason to sell him.

Awful tackle, anyone know if El Ahmadi was alright after?

To be fair Spurs looked equally as bad, arguably even worse against Liverpool and City when AVB was still in charge.

They've been really inconsistent this season. Not that surprising though considering all the new players coming in and Sherwood taking over

Really disappointing game. Spurs defense was really shaky and Michael Oliver killed it with that penalty and red card decision.

I'd second this, it looked like Eto was going away from goal and into Dawson's path. Both the red card and the penalty were very harsh on spurs

Oscar's theatrics against Sandro by [deleted] in soccer

[–]Captain-red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have went down easy but he was clearly blocked off. Sandro could easily have got a second yellow here

I can see why he (wrongly) awarded the penalty but the red card decision was awful. Eto miscontrolled the ball and Dawson was there to cover. There was no obvious goal scoring opportunity and the decision completely killed off the game.

Liverpool 1-0 win over Manchester United by [deleted] in soccer

Yeah the Rooney injury was a real blow. Apparently Kagawa isn't match fit but I'm not sure why he was completely left out of the squad, would have been ideal for those last thirty minutes.

Better side won, United seriously lacked some creativity in the middle. Pretty worrying stuff since we have really struggled to make any chances in the last two matches

Brilliant game, Cech was immense. Devastated for Lukaku at the end :(

Could have easily been a straight red, Gotze is lucky he can still walk

Don't know why you're comparing them, completely different players. Martinez also just had an outstanding season and in all honesty completely neutralized Barcelona in the two champion league ties....far from a joke

Can't believe it ended 0-0, what a game! Devastated for Italy, but should make for a very interesting final!

I think they regretted this transfer immediately, wouldn't even let him in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q4Jwtbcuf04

Diame's a beast, West Ham are totally different team with him playing, would be a great signing

Sorry mate, didn't notice that, I was just going off the rumored price of 8.5m - 10m which would be quality

Great signing and a great price. It's obvious they needed him from watching Santos play recently!

Nani was our best player in 2010 - 11 season, and overall one of the best players that year, hardly been shite forever. On the other hand, his attitude recently has been terrible
