Over-rated dogsh1t. Sakho is a dreadful player. He's Yanga-Mbiwa. I sympathise with managers as of 20:45. Robbie Brady is a club-record signing for Burnley. Robbie fcking Brady. What the fck has happened to English football? Incidentally someone texted me that Townsend could still happen if Kone agrees to sign for Palace, and it's this that's holding the deal up.
Allegedly we don't need a medical for Townsend, so only needs the paperwork to be signed and registration transferred
Not that it matters now, but I don't believe that at all. A club isn't going to spend over £10m on a player without checking he hasn't had any problems arise over the time he's been away, even if it is only 5 or 6 months.
Agree with this assessment exactly - he is strong, quick and a good tackler but his passing ability is dreadful. Those though are probably the exact attributes BSA looks for in a defender so they should get on fine.
He's African and that means he can't play football Skilful players but can they play ? No not for me Sorry that's my opinion
Don't agree with this at all. Think they are often naturally talented athletes but are not necessarily prepared mentally and tactically for the game as played in Europe. There also tends to be a mentality from clubs that it is easy to find a bargain on the African continent so you get a lot of dross coming through with the talent. Secret is to catch them early enough, develop them in club academies here and then they can develop their full potential. Trouble is you would then argue they are not really African as they were brought up in Europe!
It's all about opinions mate, but I've never seen one that can play other than okotcha and even he was a showboat obviously they have brilliant skill there's no denying they, but they don't have football intelligence unless they moved to a European country very young Boom you know I would because it's generally correct isn't it? The same applies in business or anything because the better area you are brought up in the better you get educated and as a child yourbrain is more of a sponge than at any other time in your life I am more useless that that of a college boy in life because I am white, My family was poor by British standards and had an surrounded by failure, however I understand and wasn't impossible to succeed, but it wa always going to be more challenging. I'm not being racist I'd just like to point that out before getting annihilated because they're stronger and better athletes usually.
ha ha just edited because predictive text changed the word generally for genetically which sounded inappropriate to say the least
Ok lets have your comments on these Samuel Eto'o George Weah Yaya Toure Kolo Toure Nwanko Kanu Michael Essien Lucas Radebe Tony Yeboah
In all seriousness not one is a proper player Can you now make a list for the following South Americans Europeans
Their loyalties are different. They're hardly ever loyal towards their club, more towards their agents/family. It's same for their countries. If they don't feel like it they don't turn up for their country. It's a tribal thing. They're loyal to their tribe all right I suppose. I think you need a couple of black guys per team for athleticism but if you go beyond 3/11 you just start getting strops and drama. Look at how SAF managed. He never put up 10 black guys in a team. Maybe it's about focus too. They get more easily distracted by shiny flashy things. Let's put up the stroppiest 11 GK LB Cashley CB Gallas CB RB Pascal Chimbonda RM Diouf CM Touré Cake CM LM Payet ST Bibliotelli St Anelka
Didn't say I thought it was good thing - just that it was being reported - a statement, not an opinion
