If Villa is a pro's pro he'd be a good risk. I don't know enough about him. Most athletes, even top athletes, would figure the down side of their career is a time to have an extra beer, not train quite as hard--and sit out most of the year with a sore hamstring or what have you. And the fact that it would be the downside of his career makes me not want him. He's won everything worth winning. He'd have to be one hell of a competitor not to let his effort and enthusiasm level drop with a move away from Barca.
Lukaku wasn't at the club when you won the Europa League and Ba and Torres are pretty crap when you compare them to your options elsewhere on the pitch. As for Kone, I could list a dozen or more strikers in the Premier league that are better yet they still won the FA Cup. Not sure why my post has been taken so seriously though, I started off with Good strikers are for chumps" after all
YV, he seems to have some football (and tennis!) version of Tourettes, just thoughtlessly blurts out the first **** that comes into his head...usually rubbish!
Higuain for Arsenal??...nope, Wenger just can't break the habit of a lifetime, "get me a lovely young Frenchman instead!".... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23139745
Not sure it's either or. They might still get Higuain as well. Although I do wonder given the length of time it has run since the move was imminent.
I would love it if that move fell through. The rumours suggesting Real might offer him as part of a package for Bale suggests it might not be as done and dusted as everyone thought.
SSN have just reported a higher bid going in from the Goons, so they clearly haven't met the valuation, so the 'Bale+cash swap' to the Goons most bitter rival is just manouvering imo.
So he's stopped signing players that were good on PES6 (Nasri, Park Chu-young) and gone for players that are good on FM12.
That maywell be the case hbic, but you're talking in riddles to me, I've no time for computer game generated crap, the very concept is beyond me, just the real thing for me.

That makes two of us wondering WTF, PES6 and FM12 are! Sounds like two laboratory generated viruses!..
I was thinking the same. A way to lever an undoubtebly expensive Harry out the door and replace him with a cheaper version without having to pay out comp? Bit like the conspiracy theories surround JFK at the toon
