Annasfield Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think Pompey are better off without him given the mess he left them in. We've signed Suarez btw.

Narnia Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 So Reina can go to Man U then? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/274/#findComment-487682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annasfield Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Why would signing a striker release a keeper? Besides, Reina would never leave us to go to United - and you can quote me on that. I think he is one of the only players left that actually has an decency and is true to his word.I'm amazed that all you lot (who claim to be avid Manc fans) refer to your beloved team as "Man U". I was of the understanding it's deeply offensive to you. I'm not trying to pick a fight here either, I've just noticed it a lot recently.

Let's be honest how many of the Man Utd fans on here actually go to Old Trafford or to be more precise have actually ever been?

Narnia Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Oh, my mistake. I thought Suarez was a keeper. Didn't he play in goal in the WC? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/274/#findComment-487687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narnia Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have been quite a few times. I remember seeing Platini and Boniek play for Juve in a Cup Winners Cup semi. A little know United player Alan Davies, not a regular, scored in a 1-1 draw. He later comitted suicide.

Narnia Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 .......and I've been at the Lane a few times too. Saw Spurs beat QPR once 5-0 compliments of David Puttnam whose season ticket I had. Also there in 86 where the title was on the line and they lost 1-2 to Everton. Was at the Coventry cup final too. Have two brothers who support Spurs.

Although as it turns out maybe he's just decided to attract some attention for a transfer.When all's said and done I'm sure he wants to play in the Champions League which seems at best unlikely with Liverpool for next season so no real surprise Chelsea suits with Drogba on the way downhill, it's the obvious destination ruling out United as they're United, City as they're a gamble and Arsenal as they won't spend money.

Jah Lush Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yes. Been watching him for a while at Forest and then Derby. He's a good player with a sweet left foot.

Annasfield Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Can't agree with that Ruffers. Play the ball to Torres' feet and he'll score you a goal. If you try and play fetch with him he's not as effective. Under Hodgson's tactics he wasn't getting a decent service. Look at how much further up the pitch we've played in our last few games. There's the difference. Re this transfer stuff, it looks as though he's going. Gutted to be honest, in some ways I don't blame him. He was promised lots under our previous owners and nothing was delivered. I don't really blame him. Going to Chelsea will be a bitter pill to swallow though. If it's true, he's an arse fir the way he has gone about it. Time will tell.

Keef Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Agree with both Anna and Ruffers, Torres got no service earlier this season, but still, he didn't exactly look for it. Anyway, gutted to hear about the transfer request, thought he was turning in to Liverpool through and through, but guess he just fancies a few thousand quid a week more.

ruffers Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Although he could just be doing a Rooney and blackmailing the club for a few tens of thousands a week extra.It becomes an interesting one, taking Rooney as the example. "i'm off, the club's not showing the ambition".. "Here's a load of money".... "OK, I'll stay"Tevez - "I'm off" .. City "No, you're not (and presumably lots of other stuff)"... Tevez - errrr OKTorres "I'm off, no ambition" ...LFC.. "Err, we just signed Suarez" ... Torres .. "erm. Chelsea?"
