    If it is i think we should all go out and buy the 3 full kits so Rafa can get the players he wants.

    Why....I support the boycot.

    I haven't bought it. I definitely would have were it not for the boycott.

    I wounder if the boycot is having an effect on the sales.
    It's certainly having an effect I'm sure but it's probably not having enough of an effect as Dumb and Dumber aren't showing any signs of going anywhere :(.

    If you guys haven't seen him then thats a shame, but don't assume everyone knows as little about him as you. You don't believe Irish football fans would watch Liverpool play Basle? Or Utd play Basle? What about Ireland versus Switzerland? Plenty of people watch every games of major summer football tournaments as well. You make it sound like Dortmund are some Scottish 3rd division team.

    Anyway, if you are both admitting you haven't seen him play then maybe this explains the optimism. I am sure he will get a chance, I just don't see any other reason for signing a player who had a stop-start career at a German team outside of their top 3 other than for the reason he was free.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he not only play against Ireland for the Swiss once.
    I know he played at least once against Liverpool, but that was as a 17-18 year old sub.

    Not sure about Utd.

    Also seeing as your memory is awfully scethchy, I think there's a good chance that you may be confusing him with his identical twin brother, both of whom are wide right players.

    All in all though, I'm not so sure how you saw him so many times.

    Nah he did. He played against us in the 0-0 at Lansdowne at the very least. Not in the EURO 2004 campaign I don't think tho.

    Nobody can completely judge Degen until weve seen him for a season or so but lets face it guys, its highly unlikely that he is going to set the world alight. Playing in the Swiss/German leagues until he was 25 and is pretty much unknown. None of the Borussia Dortmund fans that I have spoken to rate him highly. Most are unsure if he was even the best RB in the team.

    He may turn out to be an ok signing considering he was free, but I'm not expecting much.

    same for me except with Keane 7:cool: gonna get the grey one, when they get it, with Agger 5 - what a legend!

    EDIT: oh and the reason they wont sanction the Barry deal is he wont add value to the club, like Torres has added to the value to the club when they eventually sell - so paying 20m for Torres has added at least another 50m onto the valuation of the clubs assets, i highly doubt Keane's value will go up but it is more likely than Barry. thats how i see it anyway.

    Looks like Lucas will be ack for the weekend: Argies are 3-0 up. And he just got sent off for fouling.... Mascherano.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    So I say that he's only played once that I can think of, and you say that I'm wrong by listing one time he played!

    You see what I'm getting at?!!

    Well done.

    And good job on ignoring the fact that I pointed out he came on as an 18 year old sub against us 6 years ago, but you can use that to tell us how "crap" he is.

    You must have a great memory if you can remember how a young 18 year sub played for 20 or so minutes in a game 6 years ago!

    Well done!

    But Arshavin, playing in Russian leagues till he was 27 is a world beater?!

    Not saying Degen is good BTW, just that Arshavin is massively over-rated.

    Thats true. I just find it weird when Rafa he cant get the money to buy players and then fans boycott merchandise.

    It won't bring him back sooner.
    Even if he can't play in the 3rd/4th place play off, he'd still be staying for the medal ceremony.

    Well Arsharvin seems to be a one in a million player. Its not often that you have a player like him playing in such a bad league until that age. (I've only seen him at the Euros so Ive no idea how good he really is).

    Pretty sure one of the commentators in the Liverpool v Liege game mentioned that a red card in the Olympics was an automatic one game ban. Was talking about the Belgian player for Liege who got sent off .

    do you think the amount of jerseys sold this summer dictates rafa budget?:confused:

    even if it did, i'd take a few more 4th place finishes to get rid of these yanks tbh.

    He's not as good as some make out.

    No player is world class in a lower league untill they're 27.
