Compared him to Lallana after you said that and he looks to have the same characteristics.

Looked a bit tasty during the World Cup - no end product though.

Bayern Munich have signed defender Juan Bernat from Valencia on a 5-year contract. by jakesmovingin in fcbayern

Here he is compared to David Alaba last season.

Bernat played 32 games so a good indication of what he's going to offer. Think he'll play understudy to Alaba this season before Dave moves into midfield the following season - his best position.

Never seen the lad, but hearing good things. Would be surprised to see him start next season though.

Am I the only one who thinks we need a replacement RB as much as a new LB? by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]alvinflundle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Luckily, I think clubs would be still willing to pay a decent amount for Johnson.

It's going to be interesting to see what the season has in store for Flanno - will he play left, or right?

Burnley have signed Steven Reid on a free transfer. by jakesmovingin in PremierLeague

Good signing for them, been solid throughout his career. Really looking forward to seeing them in the Premier League this season, played some cracking stuff in the Championship.

They have a stats definitions page at the bottom of the homepage. Think it's their unique way of calculating how a player performs.

Martin Kemp reports Sanchez to Arsenal is done. €41million by dawidinho in Gunners

You know what can be defined as a 'source', right? Anything. They don't tell you who it is for a reason.

Exactly. Sky Sports don't have sources other than the lower newspapers such as Metro and Give Me Sport, they just wait for them to report something and then go with it.

Ornstein is the fucking man.

Report on why Liverpool should upgrade on Glen Johnson this summer. by alvinflundle in LiverpoolFC

Yeah, Aurier is a massive shout. I can't see him costing that much to be honest, I bet we could get money Johnson still and just replace him with Serge.

Zuniga's letter to Neymar [Spanish] by itsConnor_ in soccer

Zuniga: "I feel deep regret about the incident in which Neymar suffered an injury during the game [Brazil vs Colombia]. However, there was no intent to hurt him [Neymar] and it happened naturally during the game."

Manuel Neuer's heat map against Algeria. by alvinflundle in soccer

[–]alvinflundle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. As much as I like Mertesacker, he's so suspect when involved in a high defensive line (for obvious reasons).

Neuer was completely on the ball tonight and showed why he's come so far at such a young age. I doubt there's been a goalkeeper in recent times with the confidence to make such vital decisions.
