Screw You Guys..Im Goin Home!!!
You know of course that Momo isn't a defensive midfielder?
Yes. Now where's that house you owe me?

I was waiting on you to chime in as you've certainly seen Momo and el jefe a lot more than we all have. The Nani catch by Man Utd. was brilliant. Eto'o would be a similar coup although it might be wiser to invest that dough in Torres/Villa and Alves.
Both Milan and Liverpool shouldn't have been in the Champions League final , to me is a joke that both teams that never challenges for their domestics championships are allowed in this tournament. The final should have been Manchester United Vs Chelsea.
Indeed.
How did France do in the Finals ? :)
Francois, there has been plenty of talk of Barcelona taking Sissoko as part of the deal for eto'o. Nani was a good signing, although Anderson strikes me as a better one. Liverpool have signed the Brazilian U20 captain from Gremio, Lucas, for £8 million which has slipped a little under the radar.
Alves looks to be heading to Real Madrid. I think Simao will come in on the right, although interest remains strong in Malouda. They want Gabi Milito to rotate with Agger and Carra and I can't help thinking that what we're really missing is a player like Deco or Tevez, someone who can sit and link and create and who isn't called Gerrard.
Certainly a lot better than :flag2:
And if you had witnessed the most recent performance against Ukraine as I did, with a 20 year old being the best player on the pitch in his Stade de France debut, you'd be as encouraged about the future as I am.
If the local press is to be believed, it'll be Samuel eto'o rather than David Villa. Remember, Rafa tried to buy eto'o when Owen was going to Madrid - as Real owned the majority of his contract - but was turned down. Amauri looks to be a wildcard.
Mascherano is a really great player. Ready to take that Makalele role as the best holding midfielder in european football. The issue with Sissoko is thus; excellent player with a motor the like of which I've never seen and who the fans love, but his inability to pass the ball has begun to become an irritant, especially at the highest level. In the CL, you simply can't give the ball away consistently and he does it over and over again.
Cheers for the update Simon. Not familiar with Lucas or Anderson. Deco would look marvelous alongside Gerrard and Mascherano.
Unless Gago pans out and continues to play as he has lately. In which case it would be Gago... that would make for an amazing midfield for the Argentines Gago and Mascherano
Remind me how many domestic championships Liverpool have compared to Chelsea or Manchester United.
A tournament without the defending champions allowed to play in it??????
Even though Italy won the World Cup they are not in the next one unless they qualify the same way evweryone else does.
I can guarantee USA and Mexico will be in the World Cup but I can't make the same guarantee about Italy
