debosky: You are a mugu - are we discussing spending model or the feasibility of the aforementioned players existing within a viable formation?

Can Giroud, RVP, Walcott, Gervinho and Poldi all be contesting for three starting spots? YES.

The same way Park, Chamakh, Walcott, Gervinho and RVP were contesting for three starting spots last season.

The same way Young, Nani, Valencia, Welbeck, Rooney and Chicharito can contest for three starting spots (that's not mentioning Berba, Owen).

You should have ode stamped to your forehead.

How can you separate spending model from feasibility bla bla blah

Is it possible to put messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta, Ozil, Benzema and gomez fighting for 2 spots? YES

Does the financial and spending model of Club X allow it?

Man Citys spending and financial model would allow 3 30m strikers to sit on the bench

But can Arsenal do the same? How would Arsene rationalise Putting Giroud a French league top striker, Poldi a German NT veteran, Walcott- The only player that can be compared to legendary Pius Ikedia and RvP on the bench

Madrid has Kaka, Higuain on their bench regularly,

Barca has Cesc, Sanchez, Affelay etc on their bench regularly in clubs with lesser budget cant afford such luxury

If you cant understand that logic, Call a friend(1025)

coogar: but 20 goals in 60 apps for wolfsburg as a striker in a shyte
league like bundesliga tells me mandzukic is not better than
bendtner.

I am certain the shyte league called Bundesliga always have more players in Semi finals of major tournament than the EPL

In the last 2 seasons

Mario mandzukic 20 goals in 60 app 0.3 goals/app

Fernando Torres 12 goals in 67 matches 0.17goals/app

Danny Welbeck 17 goals in 63 appearance 0.25goals/app

Andy carrol 11 goals in 56 appearance 0.19goal/app

Gervinho 4 goals in 37 appearance 0.1 goal/app

Theo Walcott 24 goals in 83 appearance 0.28goals/game


The other compared players all play in better and richer teams

Isnt it from the middle belt most fost food Items are produced?

Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi etc

coogar: he's shyte.....if he's good at wolfsburg, why did wolfsburg
finish 8th on the table?

Just like Ashley young was shyte because Aston Villa finished 9th in the league

And Phil Jones since blackburn finished 15th out of 20

The thread below has been filled with insults on the person of Awolowo

But when one does the same to Biancar ojukwu, The incompetent mods would be quick to wield a ban

What a bunch of wussies

We dont depend on goal.lol for news We get it from the source.

Four-year deal
Terms agreed for Croatia striker Mandzukic
27.06.2012

FC Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg have agreed terms for the transfer of 26-year-old striker Mario Mandzukic. The Croatia international is expected in Munich in the course of the next few days for the obligatory medical, before signing a four-year deal binding him to Germany’s biggest club until 30 June 2016.

“We’re pleased we’ve been able to bring in Mario Mandzukic, one of the best forwards in the Bundesliga, who also demonstrated his special goalscoring ability at EURO 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. He’ll make our squad even stronger,“ commented FCB director of sport Christian Nerlinger. Mandzukic will be Bayern’s sixth confirmed new signing for the 2012/13 campaign.

The Croat joined Wolfsburg from Dinamo Zagreb in 2010, and has scored 20 goals in 56 Bundesliga appearances to date. He added three goals in three games for his country at the European championship.

Mandzukic joins Bayern for an undisclosed fee

debosky: Aguero's shirt is guaranteed.

Dzeko, Balotelli, Tevez, Johnson compete for 2 slots?

DK has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

Since when did Man City spending and business model equal Arsenals?

Debo na real dodoyo

Looks like Bayern is closing on the signature of Mario Mandzukic

the more reason spain would reign supreme over them....spain have 2
defensive midfielders to mask the absence of puyol in the defence...

Can you show us Euro 2012 stats that compare Mario Mandzukic to RvP and Benzema and lets see who is the better striker

chic2pimp: Euro 88......The soviet union was a powerhouse back then.

If you are refering to the traditional BIG TEAMS then that would have to be France in 1986

So in like 28yrs Italy has not lost in regulation time to a traditional power house.

Germany has not beaten Italy in a tournament for the longest

History favours Italy, Form favours Germany

Beowolf,

Excellent points

allboyz: good to be back here. . . . Heard AW wants to keep Chamakh? i have a feeling RvP will be sold

Everybody and their momma knows this

Van persies shirt is guaranteed

Gervinho, Podolski, Walcott, Giroud compete for 2 slots?

Debosky to the right showing the family jewel

coogar: alba is better than coentrao and pepe = pique.
spain still have sergio ramos, the only dud there is
arbeola!



they have torres/llorente if there's need to use a striker.
portugal won't have the ball. that's the key factor. you need
the ball to score against spain.

spain's possession stats have been 68.2% in this tournament,
65.2% at the world cup and 56.6% at euro 2008. as you can see,
portugal would chase and chase and chase until spain apply the
killer punch!

Jodi Alba better than Coentrao must be a theme for a Tyler Perry comedy.

Portugal are set up to counter attack and they have the weapon to execute it. We can see how deadly those counters were everytime they have deployed it.

Even in the Madrid vs Barca ties, Ronaldo is used to play with less of the ball and a Ronaldo vs Arbeloa duel should be interesting

Trivia

When was the last time a BIG team eliminated Italy from a tournament in regulation time. Been cracking my head for this

Even Ghanaians know that Retardeen Jonathan is a m0r0n

coogar: portugal have no defence and their offence have no centre forward....
they would trouble on the flanks but it would be of no good....your last
video is a mere friendly....if we go by that logic, england also beat spain
at wembley.....abeg, friendlies don't count here...this is a tournament!

Portugals defence is better than Spains. Pepe and Coentrao are one of the best in their positions and Bruno Alves isnt ad either.

Center forward? Spain too has no Center forward.

HNIC: You will never change.
Wrong analogy
It's like Hazard or Moses(If he's signed) winning World club cup or Supercup with Chelsea....
How about that?

He won a trophy and contributed to them winning it.

That he didnt qualify them for the tournament doesn't count

Zidane didnt play a part in France 1998 second round, quarter finals So that means he shouldnt be counted as a winner of the World cup?

HNIC: Hehehehe
Those cups are what......
It would have made sense if Fabregas was part of the team that won the CL with Barca and then went on to win those cups....
but my friend, he wasn't....

So Mata, Cahill shouldn't celebrate the CL triumph because he didn't help qualify Chelsea for top 4

OP,

LASTMA is hiring you definitely need a job

OP,

You stated you dont want to raise your kids in a broken home, Then why dont you just stay with the husband for the sake of the father figure and possibly financial input into the kids life

What would you gain by breaking the marriage?

Why dont you just leave the man alone and dont worry yourself about love and sexx again

4 kids in 5 yrs is not impossible I have a friend 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1986. Whats the count there?

France is very different from Portugal

Spain vs Portugal would be much different

Portugal has a better defence than France and better offence. Before the quarters France have been very average, looked clueless vs England vs Sweden before Spain put them out of their misery.

Portugal normally is set up for Counter attacking and it comes Naturally to them

Their last meeting


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih77vZ16Dbc

I am actually tipping Portugal to upset Spain

Portugal to play on counter and Unleash Ronaldo and Nani on Spain.

They should tell Ronaldo that a win would guarantee him WPOTY.

Italy vs Germany 50-50. With Italians having a verrry good record vs Germany

Clearly the best 4 teams are through. All four out of the both two groups of death. Well deserved.

The tourney starts NOW

The english should look at the bright side here....Rooney scored a goal in an international tournament.

Ashley Young is an absolutely horrible player

Pirlos "Panenka" was absolute class

I heard England did a lot of research of Italian penalty takers, So whats the point when the keeper cant stop any?

I heard England did a lot of research of Italian penalty takers, So whats the point when the keeper cant stop any?

I am so delighted.

Stupid football gets eliminated at last

Forza Italiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Cashley misses

Offside

If only Italy had a Mario Gomez

English football both the leagues and national team should be banned

Which kain useless football be dis na?
