Have y'all heard about this 16 year old kid from Cote d'Ivoire tearing it up at the U17 World Cup? 5 goals in the first two group games, including 4 against Denmark, and he's gone and scored a hattrick tonight against Brazil in the final group game.

Real Madrid reportedly sniffing all over him, currently plays for Siena in Italy, wouldn't be shocked to see our name crop up soon.

Klaus

The defending on the first two goals would make Titus Bramble cry. 😆

No I wouldn't be shocked at all. 😆

Is that a big deal? Can't say I know much about Argentine football, but River Plate and Boca Juniors are the two clubs I've known since I was little.

It's a huge deal out there that's for sure. River are definitely one of the biggest clubs in South America.

Would have thought that Erik Lamela would be on the move then. He's supposed to be the biggest talent in Argie land.

Yeah, we should snif around Lamela soon. Big talent I heard, bigger than Ricky Alvarez supposedly.

That 16 y/o kid is brilliant. The way he dribbles is quite promising, not to mention the finishing

Just found highlights of the gold cup final. Brilliant brilliant match (sorry usarsenal 😉 ). Great finishes from Barrera. Amazed Dos Santos still haven't succeed in club level, always looked fantastic for Mexico. Our scouts should look more at Concacaf. So many great talents there. Loved watching football from that region, end to end stuff with good technical players. Quite weird till now nobody made a move for Donovan after his brilliant spell with Everton. Maybe he will just do a Blanco and let his talent stay in that region forever.

Oh and we should take a look at Guardado since Deportivo is relegated. Could be a LB option for us.

Seen very little of him, but he looks similar to Alvarez. Personally think Alvarez looks the better player, but he is 3 years older.

Take a look at this for Coulibaly's next match against Brazil. Scored a hattrick, 2 goals from impossibly tight angle like the first he scored against Denmark, then one overhead kick. This guy is just brilliant. 16y/o?

Ricky1985

Some really impressive goals there.

Ricky1985

Looks like Rio wasn't too impressed with Giggsy hogging the headlines:

😆
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving, more smug, cunt.

goon

Image doesn't work.

Is this the one where the girl said she came out with the story to help her emotional development?

Nothing to do with the 16 grand in your pocket and being known for 15 mins as a whore.

Ricky1985

He sued the Daily Mirror for damages after they exposed an affair he had, and the Mirror have presented evidence in court of 10 other women he has also cheated on his wife with. So you could say suing them backfired just a little on him.

So apparently City's stadium naming rights deal with Etihad is worth somewhere in the range of £300 million. Glad to see that financial fair play is working out as expected.

Captain

😆

Not shooting the messenger but the reported figure is getting out of hand now; some sort of internet version of chinese whispers. It started the day at £100m for 12 years and is now just ridiculous.

Timbob

The deal is clearly as crooked as fuck.

Timbob

I know he plays for Chelsea, but I think it'll be a little sad if Essien has done his cruciate again. Already think he's lost quite a bit as a player because of the injuries and this one could finish him at the very highest level. Always seemed like a good bloke and at his best is/was an absolutely brilliant player.

Ricky1985

Where did you here that mate?

Klaus

That dirty little cunt can fuck off after trying to break Cesc's ankle last season. What goes around comes around.

Xcdude24

Reuters reporting that the naming rights deal totals £150 million. Probably won't be enough to save them from financial fair play regulations, provided those regulations are strictly adhered to.

Rex

Klaus, that was Diaby wasn´t it?

Meatwad

yeah it was diaby. paul robinson and essien sure did a number on him. set him back big time because he had a good start to the season club and internationally and then the double assault.
