The football thread

[kasm]

Liverpool are believed to have agreed on a £5 million fee for the sale of full-back Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina.

I don't like this story at all.

offset by the possible capture of Paul Scharner... who in fairness is not the worst by a long shot.

Insua is still only 21 and still has plenty of potential to improve though. I know Liverpool are being linked with Figeuroa (sp?) from Wigan for £7million who may be an improvement for next season but in 2 or 3 years I could see the decision to sell Insua looking very silly.
I hope it doesn't happen but it looks like it will sadly.

I'm a huge fan of Insua and I think he can improve. I'd hate to see him go.

Dunno,I thought he looked okay and as you say has the potential to improve, management are of a different opinion obviously though and they see him every day.Situation reminds me of Vignal - young and looked like he could improve(didn't really) but got shipped out.

[Photek]

Vignal was rubbish, Insua has a little bit of class about him. He has no pace but his positional sense was improving all the time last season. He also is an excellent crosser of the ball.

I'd have to disagree with that, Vignal was showing plenty of potential but suffered a serious enough injury at exactly the wrong time and was never right after that.

You are beginning to approach Red Devil levels of nonsense spouting lately fella.

Manchester United 2010/11 kits look smart! I also like the look for goalkeeper shirt too.

Anyway, I heard the away kits will be white with red/blue style on the shoulders.

[Preezy]

I'm hoping for another black away kit, with the 3rd kit being either white or blue.

Also, the home kit is starting to grow on me.

Manchester United Away Kits?



I'd love to see yellow/gold and green for the third kit.

[Preezy]

Hmmm, doesn't really seem consistent with the home kit, plus it looks a bit rubbish

Green and gold away kit? That will never happen so long as the Glazers are still around

Would be great though

As someone who watched him at Fratton Park later in his career, I can confirm he was indeed total garbage.

Emile Heskey has retired from international football!

Five or six years too late but still

Mibs Sharon will actually make the squad now. \o/

[Spindash]

I'd like to take this opportunity to confirm that I, too, am retiring from international duty.

[DML]

Can I also take this moment to say that I am also Spartacus.

If I was part of the Glazer family, I'd insist on doing a green and yellow second kit, just to lol heartily at the uproar it would cause for the whateverthefucktheycallthemselves mong group behind the campaign.
