Dempsey was one of the best players in the PL last season and he'd be a great addition to Liverpool. Oh and Fulham without their two best players will fight to be a mid table team.




Timmy Howard disagrees

i wasnt talking about basketball players smartass

and wouldnt dempsey disagree with nick young opinion, since he scores goals with ease?

Not the same kind of player or position, but Moutinho is better than VdV.

You never specified a sport dumbass. Don't make sweeping generalizations about an entire nation and not expect to be called out on it.

Yeah, I mean in terms of losing VdV today and getting Moutinho

Making generalizations about entire nations players is not only slightly racist, it's also absolutely ridiculous, ignorant, and blatantly wrong. Don't say something so stupid and then argue it to the death like we are discussing if Messi is better than Ronaldo or something and not disparaging a whole country.

Gio dos Santos signed a four year deal with Mallorca. I'm quite surprised, honestly.

Also, portuguese sports newspaper 'A Bola' reported Javi Garcia from Benfica has just signed with Man City. Take it with a grain of salt though.

Portuguese sports newspaper A Bola reporting that Benfica defensive midfielder Javi Garcia has said his goodbyes in Lisbon and is on his way to Manchester City. A Bola said the fee is 'close to' his buy-out which is 30 million euros.

not sure if serious...

Man City is basically signing everyone, no?

No, we needed defensive midfielders, so we signed Jack Rodwell, who's still not ready for big games, and that's why we're trying to get Javi Garcia. Nigel De Jong is on his way out to AC Milan and Gareth Barry is still injured for a few months.

Micah Richards is injured and you can't rely on Zabaleta to play every game so that's why we're trying to get Maicon.

Nastasic and Sinclair are ones for the future.

Nastasic is the best name ever. Sounds like a Nas album. NASTASTIC!

Again i wasn't complaining. Also note that your team has an astronomical payroll also and has basically A list talent at every position so maybe you can stop acting like a total hypocrite and whining. Messi is not exactly homegrown talent.
