Yeh but we're getting relegated so much harder than you all that ours is more valid.

Losing out on Thiago sucks. We need to land someone and it's beginning to look like we'll have to settle rather than getting one of our top choices.

SUPPOSEDLY, Moyes has an unlimited transfer budget. Loadsa Moyney

He also stated he hopes to have a bit of business done by tomorrow. Do I think it'll be someone HUGE like Ronaldo or Bale? Nope, but I am curious.

Also, here's this for your viewing pleasure. He really reminds me of younger Ronaldo.

In what way? The stepovers?

I can assure you a 20 year old Cristiano would have scored more than 8 goals in the championship.

Eh....

I've always thought of him a bit overrated. He's a good player, but he's no second coming. Although I think of everyone as overrated, so carry on with the conversation as if I didn't say anything.

His flair and creativity 1v1.

i agree he isn't the second coming, that's not even what i was implying.

liverpool fans are not fans of zaha. noted.

He's gonna have to step up in a big way, because we paid waaaaaay too much for him.

well i guess that's just like your opinion man.

LINK It's a video that i'm sure everyone on this board has seen.

He relies on his athletic ability (superior strength, speed, and agility) to pull off many of the moves. But when he does a bit of skill, and immediately follows it up with another, which a defender was not expecting, that's creativity in my book.

Ah yeh. That's what I meant. Not sure if his skill sequence is pre-determined (to a degree), or reactionary.. but i've always enjoyed it.

It's almost entirely pre-determined for the world class players. After perfecting a skill sequence, they apply it to training. Once a player begins to mature and pick up defensive tendencies, he applies the skill in matches. Players like Ronaldo have a memory bank of situations where certain skills work. Depending on where a player's eyes are, how his shoulders are turned/positioned, the distance between his legs, whether he is running at you, away from you or strafing, etc all trigger a specific dribbling sequence.

Pretty basic video of Aguero demonstrating how he does his signature move

His fake shot is absolutely incredible
