Not as silly as telling everyone here that Sturridge is World Class and Eriksen "is not even close."
Yesteryear = Costa Rica 2014? Okie dokie
Oh and it hasn't changed enough for you to discount Cristiano Ronaldo's one man Portugal side along with the other superstar laden European national teams getting bummed by an ancient Greek side whose biggest name was and still is Samaras.
If he is a Southampton player we could get 10mill for Naughton.
:eriksenlol:
Enjoyed this post and agree with the sentiment. But don't we think those days might be over? Greece was the most recent winner, 10 years ago now.Yeah you're right teamwork is redundant. No one ever wins anything without world class players

I don't know know what I was thinking, thank you for putting me back in my place with that little "my aspirations" line as clearly my aspirations are to barely avoid relegation with our shit, mediocre players like Lloris and Eriksen. I've seen the folly of my thought processes and it will never happen again.
I'm now fully behind a "spend money to buy all the best individual names" policy in the hope that we can emulate the Galacticos.
If we're doing the team ethic thing surely Athletico Madrid should get a mention, I'd say before last season none of them were in the world class bracket, and they won La Liga and got to the Champions league final. Southampton last year turned it on against the big boys and they are undoubtedly inferior in world class talent.
Not at all, like

just said Atletico are a great example. Me using those examples wasn't a case of we can do it if we had 11 shithouse players, it's based on a saying that I forget who the hell said, "it takes an individual to perfect football but teamwork to master it." As well as a counter to being told we apparently have no world class players so need marquee signings this summer or we'll be "left behind." I call bullshit, we need a man to unlock the potential we already have. I feel we have thatEven Everton last year are proof that you don't need world class players to play fantastic football. Rodgers at Liverpool outplayed Citeh and Chelsea and they imo can/could only class Suarez as world class. If Poch can get the players behind him and we have a bit of luck with injuries in the same way the scousers did last year we could scrape fourth.Not at all, like
I feel ya. So Kono at this point, or just no one else and focus elsewhere?
Pretty much, unless by some miracle El Shaarawy realises he is too good for this AC team and fancies a move to England.
Fair enough. My issue with standing with what we have is I think we're one injury away to Lamela from reverting to ineffective wide play. We're also going to be very predictable if we become over-reliant on him. It's worked against MLS sides, but I hesitate to believe it'll work against Prem sides, and especially to such an extent that will see us near the top four.
Yes, please!
Deleted, but apparently there is no stopping the evil work of the Sith :lamelashock:
If true I reckon we'll be back in for Micah Richards.
I thought work to the new Training Ground finished last season - no need for general labourers anymore
