    So if we´re looking into more Feyenoord players and that would leave them a bit short of players....

    What about if we buy another two from them but also loan out two youngsters to them for a year?
    If we will be playing a more dutch style now they can learn their trade over there and get more experience from tougher games than playing in U21-games and that would probably do good for Feyenoords situation both squad-wise and financially...?

    I´m sure a few youngsters that are just below the standard we need in PL can be good enough to do a good job in Eredivisie...

    Im not a Wanyama hater, lets make that clear, I actually quite like him. I just feel he was inconsistent compared to Cork.

    And that statistic, yes he helped our defensive record, we've heard it all before, but having Boruc behind the sticks for the majority of his games helped, and the fact his injury put him out of a hard spell of games.

    Wanyama is one of the first names to be written down in the first XI.
    So important and probably our next player that could have a value of £25m. Something Cork never will be close to imo.

    Lol, the Wanyama v Cork debate fires up yet again.

    People that have to say "I am not a hater of" generally do dislike the thing they are saying it about. :p

    I kind of understand what he's saying. Cork was more consistent, but is still generally at a lower level than Wanyama. Victor had a few bad games but his good games (which were the majority of his performances) are a level above Cork's.

    Just as it can safely be assumed that anybody who starts a sentence with "with all due respect" will imminently display a decent amount of disrespect

    I'm sure it's just that Cork has been here a while, he's English, seems like a nice guy and always looks like he's giving his all. In terms of the ability of the players it's like trying to argue that Nicky Butt was better than Roy Keane.

    That'll be why everyone's clamouring for Osvaldo to start next season.

    I am, I want him to break Lallana in half. I will say to Dani that Lallana said the Rolling Stones were complete **** and One Direction is better.

    I've been there before for Saints games, never really had any side effects.

    Brilliant! You're a mind reader too! What a stupid statement to make. How the heck do you know people defended him because if his prices tag? Stupid, stupid statement.

    Saw this on KUMB:

    2 weeks' this time last year turned out to be 6 months.

    If it's '2-4 months' we can expect him back for his testimonial.

    Ha ha ha ha ha

    The old "he played in easier games" line, blended nicely with the, "Boruc made him look good" line. Top stuff.

    Would be far more honest if you just said that you prefer cork as a player and that you never quite understood the contribution Vic made to the team.

    So it's Enner Valencia, Mauro Zarate, Modibo Maiga, Ricardo Vaz Te and of course Carlton Cole to choose from. I don't see many goals coming from any of them.
