:D To be fair Vickery echoed my opinion of him anyway. I just didn't know about the history of Colombia's style of football.

Falcao is poor in the build-up. It's harsh to call him just a poacher but that is his main virtue. Anybody watching Colombia in the Copa America coming up will see this. Colombia's style is to try and pass the ball in through midfield, and he is asked to play more with his back to goal and get...

Not sure I agree with the Cavani comparison. Cavani is a much better player outside of the penalty box than Falcao is. Great goalscorer though.

Pretty sure he's Villarreal's player. Was originally reported as a loan but later announced a permanent transfer IIRC.

Villarreal must spend most of their training sessions practicing chipped finishes.

He's great. Makes it easy for him when he has Rossi and Nilmar making runs for him to feed, but obviously he's quality because he was doing the same for Mallorca last season. Amazing that he somehow didn't make the grade at West Brom.

Thompson and the Norwegian presenters were just sourcing the usual Sunday morning tittle-tattle. Enrique will move, but Thomo probably knows nowt.

Sturridge has scored more since Chelsea loaned him out than Anelka, Drogba and Torres have combined :D

11 December 2002, not one that most of you will probably remember. A rain-delayed CL group stage fixture played infront of a half empty Camp Nou, totally silenced when: :) Lost 3-1, like.

He will never adapt to your style of play fully mate, he's a great option to have in certain matches because he's a wall defensively. However, he'll never fit the system as functionally as Busquets does because he's nowhere near as good a footballer.

There is no other player in the world like him. As irreplaceable as Xavi and Messi.

He was part of the reason it took 45 minutes to break down Arsenal, having Busquets out of the midfield for Masch is a drag in an attacking sense. Brilliant character, commited and an awesome insurance policy but will never be more than that.

What you talking about? You saying his passing range isn't limited? It really is, disasterously so, and it sticks out like a sore thumb when he's in the Barca midfield. Sideways and backwards short range passes is about the limits for his range, anything else attempted last night resulted in the...

Think this deserves a bump after they reached the quarter-finals. They're a dangerous side, especially with the factor that other CL teams continue to underestimate them.

It still annoys me how limited his passing is, for me he'll never be a great fit into the current Barca team. However, when it comes to the defensive side of the game he's an absolute beast.

A fantastic and elegant footballer. Probably the best first touch in the whole league, I absolutely love watching him play. I do get the sense of an air of Hleb at Arsenal though, in that he often floats around having you salivating at his style of play only by the end of the game you're left...

Their playing styles and appearance are almost eerily similar. Both have big curly mops, both composed on the ball with abnormal technique for centre halfs, both go charging up the field like lunatics and both prone to brain farts. What Luiz has though is pace and physique to make up for his...

Just a shit Coloccini.
