All that probably stands but let's not forget all the really big names that have played for Inter in recent history.

The Bosnian diamond has been tagged

But I want Dzeko in the Premier League.

[dblooder]

Never I say, never!
But seriouslly now.
I hope that this is a sign of a Milan's sail into ship repair yard because they deffinetlly deserve one for a while now and bringing D�eko now and few quallity in the summer is a must for them.
Europe without strong Milan is not my kind of Europe.

[cagiva]

Dzeko's style of play will suit England more than Italy. May be Man U or Chelsea ? I don't think he will suit Arsenal's style,nor Liverpool's.

[dblooder]

Why wouldn't he suit Italy. I think he could do for Milan what the other Bosnian did for Inter if not even more. He'll get along with Pato just fine.

[Millie]

I'd rather have a Europe with a weak Milan, Inter, Barca, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Real Madrid, and Chelsea and that someone without shed loads of money could put together a good team.

Just not a fan of match fixers with corrupt presidents, a team living on past glories, a team that are just too good, a team with a God complex and unhealthy debts, a team with thuggish fans, an arrogant side who hoover up any decent players in their country just to stop other teams having them, match fixers again, financial cheats who use the press to unsettle players and cannot do anything wrong because they've buttered up most of FIFA, and a team built on Russian drug money.

In that order.

So, if Dzeko could go to Arsenal so I can watch him and the wife will see Arsenal finally win something, I'll be happy.

I knew you were a commie. Knew it all along.

Footballers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your 24 carat chains.

[dblooder]

I think we have past the point of no return. Football as we knew it is on life support and is dying slowly and painfully.

[Millie]

I've not got that big a problem with the free market. My problem is with sides who lie, cheat and steal their way to the top.

Milan, Juventus and Chelsea have literally done this.

[dblooder]

Concerning Milan and Juve it is partially true.
But if Chelsea has won the title by cheating and stealing then I must say that I am concerned. If it is happening in England, home of Football, core of Fair Play and spine of profesionalizm.
Well

[Sesquipedalianist]

Exactly! They'll cheat and bribe there way to another '66.

Thought you were rather nice to those kopites in that rant though Millie AND you left out Arsenal.

Arsenal have regularly had a big striker up front under Wenger- Kanu, Adebayor, Bendtner etc. I think he is the kind of player Arsenal are looking for in January, as Wenger has mentioned the lack of height up front with RVP and Bendtner (still a couple of weeks away) out.

I would say being convicted of match fixing would constitute full cheating, mate. I wonder how much more you need.

Well, more that they used Abramovich's money which is clearly dodgy. And their Champions League qualification under Ken "Cunt" Bates was based on money that didn't exist.

It's cruel to mock the afflicted.

The wife was reading over my shoulder.

When the Soviet linesman was asked how he was sure the ball crossed the line, he replied "Stalingrad". Blame Hitler, not us.

Besides, West Germany's second goal is clearly offside if you watch the footage. I don't think appealing for a goal you think has gone in and getting it through dodgy refereeing is the same as cheating.

[Sesquipedalianist]

You shouldn't let facts (or the missus) get in the way of a good diatribe.

Partially
Juve was relegated, Milan just had a few points deducted.

[dblooder]

OK. Lets return to brighter themes.

Almost At Anfield

And number two I was thinking to put in the Man City thread since it is not a player rumour but here it is never the less

What a ridiculous statement. 

But, yes, let's move on.
