I was just using that against the arguement of Bale winning player of the month and last year Milner was awesome so I dont think you could say he didnt deserve it.
Just because a transfer doesn't occur doesn't mean the scuttlebutt was bullshit. It could simply mean a deal wasn't successfully worked out, or the seller didn't want to sell.
It has everything to do with my claim that ManU was bidding 20M for him. Just because sometimes rumors are only rumors doesn't mean they always are. Now, whereas I can't prove for a fact that ManU were bidding 20M for him, you can't prove they weren't. The best evidence I can give are the dozens of rumor articles all linking him to the same team with the same price, and the fact that SAF had already tried to sign him twice before (once for 10M when he was 17, which is a fact). The best evidence you can give is, "In other situations with other teams and other players, sometimes these rumors aren't true."
Meh, I'm just glad my team doesn't have to worry about defending Bale. With the talk of Spurs trying to get Micah Richards this window, I'm not too disappointed that the deal won't happen. Bale abused him for 90 minutes. With the number of opportunities he has, I could see him putting in 12-15 goals this season. Whether or not that makes him the breakout star of the season, I have no clue.
I hate Tottenham as much as the next man. I think Defoe is an average striker that inflates his goal totals in crap games and scoring when games are out of reach. Drogba and Lampard do too but Drogba is awesome. Think Modric and Lennon are average, and their center backs are an injury to King away from being awful again. That being said I love Bale. Think he is the 1 Tottenham outfield player that would start for us at left back or come in and provide more energy than our left winger does a lot. He has craft, pace, and his crosses are normally on point. I love Gibbs but Bale is certainly ahead of him in his development. Milner is not a winger IMO. The only position I'd play him as if he were on Arsenal would be next to Song and he would not start over Diaby. He is solid but nothing special at all. Better than Garreth Barry but he is nothing special.
Agree with you about Defoe, which is why I'm we pick up another striker. Defoe's totals last year were due to scoring 5 in a game againt Wigan and 3 againt Hull. That's almost half his total. I totally disagree about Modric. He's not gonna score 20 goals a year, but if you single him out and watch him, he stirs the entire pot. He's a giant pain in the ass for the opposing team - he was constantly intercepting passes and stealing the ball against City. I kinda agree about Lennon. He needs to diversify his game (as does Bale, but then again Bale is 20). Lennon was crap in the WC because he needs to play with his right foot about 6 inches away from the sideline. Capello had him further inside and he hasn't developed that game yet. You're right about the CBs as well. Dawson is solid. He's not spectacular, but I don't worry with him back there. Bassong has potential, but he's not there yet. Corluka, Kaboul, or even Huddlestone could move back there if need be, but if that happens we're in trouble in other positions. If we're going to make it back to the CL next year, we need to address holes at striker and CB. If we don't, the breaks are gonna have to go our way.
not sure if i know a good youtube clip, ill get back to you on that but I think ola would cost about E15 mln if i had to guess, could be less, would not buy him if I were bayern though as he is the same type of player as muller and you dont play two second strikers
Good call on Bale. Mouyokolo is playing alright up to this point. Matt Jarvis has blown up for Wolves.
dude stick with me on this Bale sucks guys 0 assists so far this year definitely what you want from a winger
