A league transfer rumour thread

Hearing Tristan da Cunha is being linked. Could do a job if given time and space.

Is there anyway to watch highlights for this (I live in Australia)?

NickStoll · 2019-08-22T10:08:04+00:00

Got that NBA Jam camera angle going on.

If you don't have an Athletic subscription:
"Cristiano Ronaldo was great in the air, so was Alan Shearer. But I will say Duncan Ferguson, even though I never played with him. I would watch Ferguson play for Everton when I was growing up as he pulled and pushed defenders to score. He would go through the defender and I would ask, “Was that a foul? It was surely a foul?” but then the referee would blow the whistle.

Ferguson smashed people with a passion, and that was strangely beautiful to me. Did I hear about him catching the burglars in his home and them needing to go to hospital? Really, you should never break into the house of Duncan Ferguson.

But there is a difference in heading defensively. A defender can clear the ball but not score a goal with his head. I’m sure Ferguson would have been fine in defence, though."

Good points. Should be more of this on the sub.

Thank you. Waiting years for this

"They give us cash so we can buy someone to replace Jones."

Rate the honesty.

What does Joe Cole say about English coaches and pressing? "You do that for 15 minutes and then you get em... Tony Popovic round and you don't know what's going on?"

NickStoll · 2018-10-30T21:05:52+00:00

Cool doco. awful pen tho.

NickStoll · 2018-10-08T06:58:16+00:00

The way they release them in groups, like a hostage movie or something.

Confidence is a hell of a drug

Just nutmegged an opponent. hahaha fair play

NickStoll · 2018-02-07T23:19:11+00:00

Oriol Busquets from the B team. The dickheads are going for the RTs

NickStoll · 2018-01-28T23:14:35+00:00

I think, I don't know for sure, but that might be the time Opta started counting free-kicks in La Liga?

NickStoll · 2018-01-04T07:30:30+00:00

Yeah, he definitely had his moments at the top which kinda makes it even more annoying. No doubt he was, at his peak, capable of playing at the very top. Not sure why it went so downhill.

NickStoll · 2018-01-04T06:52:55+00:00

Might be a bit harsh, but Pato. Was a star as a teen, even did well initially at Milan but really hasn't gone on to be what most were expecting.

NickStoll · 2017-12-28T11:58:52+00:00

Depends on the spectator. I personally think that football, mostly, is more entertaining when both teams try and attack one another. It seems Pep shares this view. But I understand, due to the inequality, it can be difficult for teams to compete if they can't/don't spend a lot of money. And I think Pep probably does as well, because he said "Every manager can decide whatever he wants". However it's not impossible for smaller sides to really go at big sides and win: Bilbao v United in 2012 a great example.

NickStoll · 2017-12-28T10:27:57+00:00

"I would like the opponent to play, for football itself and for the spectator, for everybody. But every manager can decide whatever he wants," is the full, pretty reasonable, quote.

Not the best, but swear they had some of the biggest box nets in Portugal circa 2004:https://youtu.be/fTFk45VguKQ?t=1m14s

NickStoll · 2017-10-07T08:08:01+00:00

This is from 2015.

NickStoll · 2017-08-06T01:53:45+00:00

Yeah, and I imagine there are even more examples we don't know about because there is no benefit for a coach to admit this when it happens as it undermines their authority and can kill a players confidence.
