He loves to play a through ball as well. I believe he was second only to Suarez in through balls attempted last season.

There was a time under Zola when Cole wasn't all that bad as a targetman. He sometimes showed himself to be a good dribbler. But he couldn't get the mental side of the game down, which I think is the biggest thing in the professional level.

Lokoren (who?) want Liverpool-destroyer Amido Balde on loan with option to buy.


I really, really, really hope that Celtic takes it. He's fricking terrible.

Lambert is not a striker for a hipster formation.


Yeah, I was incorrect in that statement. Crazy had a couple great posts that more or less explain the differences between a real 9 and a proper false 9. Lambert is obviously not in the same mould as say Fabregas, or Totti.

In reality Lambert is a classic striker, but with abilities to fall back and play support. He is capable of, and has at times played the role of a false 9. Southampton did it, and he probably will with Liverpool. But that is a very different statement from saying that he is a false 9. Same way we wouldn't call Jose Enrique a goalkeeper simply because he played in goal against Newcastle a few years ago.

I know you were just joking, but it really isn't since he was a free and FFP takes into account salaries. In fact I'm pretty sure part of City's punishment was they had to keep their total salaries level to last year's for the incoming season.

Considering the ownership, I would imagine NYCFC will pay as much as possible.

I imagine this mainly has to do with the domestic player requirements.

Gotta keep busting through the FFP glass ceiling. Such horseshite.
