Just read a blog that says he's another one who's 'lost his way'

Are we the club for the potless losers now?
 
Seeing the world from a whole other aspect though - thats got to be very interesting.

Unfortunately, due to a pure lack of language skills on my part, i've only ever lived in England, Wales, New Zealand and the US.
 
The Netherlands is a place you should all visit, beautiful country. If you're going to Amsterdam or Rotterdam, or another major city, buy a map straight away. Its easy to enter the red light district without knowing (unless you want to go there of course ;)
 
Was over when the RWC was on, on sabbatical for a year in Dunedin, not the bustling hub of the country thats for sure but having lived in Wales at least I was used to the sheep. :cheesy:
 
I could list them all but I have visited in, worked in or toured (as in worked in) most European and Nordic countries - they all have good things about them but they all have bad sides - I do like Nordic countries but I also like Mediterranean countries - I'm not a huge fan of land-locked countries. I find Asian countries interesting but a tad weird - I have little experience of middle east countries and no desire to see the former soviet-bloc countries.

Ukraine even? Pretty nice country tbh.
 
I can make myself understood in a number of non-English speaking countries too - I just have to shout louder! I know what you mean though, seeing new places with new languages and customs is great but there is something more relaxing about going to places where everyone speaks the same language as you.

Regarding Falque, he isn't someone I've heard a lot about, but I'm not sure I'm overly excited about having a 21 year old attacking midfielder join us on loan. From what I've gathered he plays in the "VdV role" or as a winger - although he is wasted there apparently - so he could be good cover for VdV as we do have limited options in that position (Modric and Kranjcar being those but they seem to play better in deeper/wider positions respectively). I just feel that if we are to be taking on young talent then we should be buying not borrowing, despite the issues we have had with such players in the past, dos Santos for example. Still, I'd love to be proven wrong.........
 
Just noticed something about Falque which I'm not sure was picked up on at the time.
According to the announcement on the English section of Juve's website, we have an option to buy him.

There was some suggestion that this was true, but I hadn't seen any confirmation of it.
I feel it's a far better deal now, knowing that.
