I guess everybody has a player he absolutely hates without knowing exactly why.

Well... there is mine.
I switch channels when he is on a pitch.

If he ever becomes a Feyenoord player, i ll be come an Ajax fan instantly.

And i really dont know why. Must have been the highlights he had in his hair while at WHU.

€3,5m the fee ended up being. Happy with that.

The player I hate without having a reason is Kyle Walker. I want to punch him repeatedly while shouting ''why do I hate you!!??''.

Very punchable face. Thomas Muller for me is the same. Apparently there is a German word for that, which directly translated means "face that deserves a fist".

I thought the general rule was that big powerful strikers are late developers. If Lukaku fits this pattern he'll be some player in 4 or 5 years time !

This is what a lot of people are forgetting. The big guys usually arrvie on the scene a bit later. Lukaku has 2 full seasons in the PL already.

The word you're referring to backpfeifengesicht!

Valon Behrami has a medical at HSV tomorrow according to Italian media. €4,2m fee. Any West Ham fans about? Hoping he'll be exactly what we have lacked in DM for the past few seasons.

It is a good bit of business to be honest. Nothing special , but competent and allows other players around him to play with more freedom. His short passing is ok and he is full of energy. He plays purely as a wrecker for us but he does it well. Fans here are unhappy. He is well liked and the fee is minimal. The majority would rather see Inler moved on considering his incurable allergy to passing a ball to a teammate.

Palace have signed Hangeland on a free
Spurs sign Dier from Sporting Lisbon for 4m (The young English/Portuguese guy)

Cracking deal for Spurs!

Dier spent a couple of months on trial at Everton 3 yrs ago but wasn't deemed good enough by moyes. The same football genius that decided mustafi (German full back for World Cup) was surplus to requirements

Yeah no other manager has every let a player go that has done well in subsequent times. Sure he had the wages available to throw at these players. Spurs signed him for 4m. Next Ronaldo surely?

After extensive research I found out over the years that he is a beast....

Currently in my 5th season in FIFA and he is rated 84......that's proper scouting that....

Although not much in FM 13......

Have never seen him play but I can assure you he will be the greatest defender ever if spurs follow the exact steps I took in FIFA

Unlikely, he's a centre back who can also play defensive mid.

Ya hes meant to be injured so once hes recovered you can imagien he'll be sold, probably late in the next 2/3 weeks, will probably force Wenger back for another CB unless he fancies Kos, Mert and Chambers.

Hence the reason that I pointed out two players, both defenders, that would appear to have very bright futures in the game.

Neither of whom were demanding big wages at the time, unlike the aforementioned mr moyes.

Very talented!! And for the price they paid they've gotten a great deal.
Probably will be Dawsons replacement.

Coleman, Stones, Baines, Jagielka, Distin were all signed by him yet you moan about him rejecting two trialists.

As were koldrup and bilyanetinov!

I was a fan of moyes and think he did a great job at Everton, but giving young players a chance was not one of his strong points.

Edit: mustafi wasn't a trialist, he had been on the books for a few years prior to being let go.

That_Guy · 01-08-2014 04:12PM

Hangeland to Palace on a free isn't a bad bit of business though I think he's passed his prime. Not a bad squad player to have mind you.

Yep, Guardian reporting. That's a real shock.

Strange transfer. I guess we'll have him until January or something?

Bump up those homegrown numbers for the cl too i would imagine is another reason for the deal

I suppose it does make a bit more sense than the Richard Wright signing!

QPR agree £5million deal with Cardiff for Jordon Mutch and look on course to beat Sunderland to him.

Everton have signed Brendan Galloway from MK Dons

Lampard to City on loan confirmed via SSN

LostBoy101 · 02-08-2014 10:08PM

I expect the Chelsea fans to quickly turn on him now :pac:

He was awful last year. Threw in the towel by all accounts:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/senior-fulham-players-lost-faith-3835517

Senior Fulham players told the club's top brass that they had lost faith in captain Brede Hangeland BEFORE the club was relegated last season.

The 33-year-old centre-back launched a blistering attack on the Cottagers yesterday, including boss Felix Magath and owner Shahid Khan, insisting "the club has been in decline for years".

Mirror Sport understands, however, that before being released last month it was Hangeland himself who had lost support within the dressing room.

The players are understood to have told CEO Alistair Mackintosh that they didn't feel Hangeland was mentally strong enough to cope with the fight to keep the club in the Premier League.

If there's anyone who can get the best out of a huge CB mind, it will be Pulis. He'll probably chip in with a 3 or 4 goals from set pieces and Pulis teams are always solid clean sheet wise.
