Probably because of the old argument 'it's easy to score in X league - he won't do so good in the PL' right? I'd be more concerned about the ridiculous transfer fee Bilbao would want.
He was on about £80k at Porto, I think and he's on over £110k now which is why we couldn't get him.
Heard on the news today that Wayne Rooney's first venture into horse racing has quite gone to plan....his horse came last! Rooney was straight on the phone to SAF who sold it to him, asking why it looks a bit different to the others... http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/covtelegraph/aug2008/5/2/8D3DC149-C100-5EB7-29C6887CF3D0339A.JPG
I chose not to look into that result too far, United and City's priorites changed dropping into the EL, I don't think either wanted to progress tbh.
I think they played very strong teams in both legs and Bilbao really picked them apart, I was very impressed. They're laying siege to At. Madrid now should be a good finish.
3-0 Diego finishes the game with a great finish, although it was tired defenders that gave him more space than he should've had. Another player we were linked to, albeit about 8 years ago.
Llorente had poor service tonight, but I still rate him highly and think he'd work great as a lone striker for us, with VdV sat behind in the 4-4-1-1.
Miniuain didn't stop running! He looked very useful, yet again. Would be interested in us signing him, what a difference he could make! Very creative. But like most of the Bilbao players right now, his value will be over inflated.
If we get any one of Muniain, Llorente, Hazard, Hulk or Leandro, I'll be 1. very surprised, and 2. over the moon.
it's nice to see the obsession with us continues on the Chav's board,they are claiming theyare offically bigger than us now
Referee's for Sunday... Man City v QPR....Mike 'red card' Dean S'land v United....Howard Webb! Phil Dowd for us. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/match-officials-appointments-may-13.html
I love that thread called "tick tott" that was started a couple of months ago, with twats like District Line and Englandsfinest predicting they would finish above us It's hysterically funny!
