it'll be interesting to see who they pick up now

Rafa needs a right midfielder and a centre-back. oh yes and Michael Owen would be a welcome addition to the attack... he might just be the spark they need to solidify the team... playing a tight waiting game with Real Madrid, Rafa is

[mister slippery]

owen would be a good fit for you.

not so much for us, but hed work well under benitez.

were it me, i might have lined something up before getting rid of baros, but who knows?

Well that's just it, Rafa's playing a game of poker with the teams that want to get more money than their players are worth... Owen was sold for what.. 8M last year and now Real want 12M?!?!?

The longer Rafa waits the more panicky Real will get about paying their 5th choice striker 3M/year in wages alone... Rafa's a shrewd dude

there will be a few more interesting moves before the end of the month, guaranteed.

well mon ami, feel free to enlighten us with your knowledge of rugby...

actually i almost bought a rugger video game the other day, thought it might help me understand the game a bit more, then i realised that i don't get enough time playing the fitba games to begin with...

i get the basic concept of rugby and how the scoring works, it's the finer points that elude me...
