I never said anyone hated the USNT, you guys just assumed it. My point is that Donovan playing for the US hurts his value. Had he been from Mexico, or any other respected football nation, his value would be much higher.

Howard when he played for Man U is a much different player then he is today. The repeated benchings would destroy any players psyche. The guy is now one of the EPL's top keepers. Let's be honest, he never had a fair shot.

Come on man...I know youre better than this. He had more than a fair shot. He was given the job. He made 31 League starts and 7 ECC starts. But he also wasnt making the grade. I mean, do you realize how bad you must be to split time with the mighty Roy Carroll? He wasnt separating himself, they both sucked, so they bought a better player. Tim opened his mouth, and got shipped out.

LOL I get the feeling he couldn't help it.

I always saw Drenthe as more of an attacking wingback than a leftback. A more talented Glen Johnson basically

LMFAO.

He single handily knocked Man Utd out of the Champions League that year. He started 32 EPL games his first season and was named the undisputed starter from the second he arrived. Please tell me how him being automatically named the starter, but him being benched for being shit is not been given a fair shot.

Next your going to tell me Jamarcus Russell was never given a fair shot.

I cant wait for the fire sale shit storm getting ready to hit the Eastlands.

Soccernet is reporting that Liverpool management has told Javier Mascherano that he can leave the club. So long as they get a suitable offer, he's gone.

That Facebook stuff from Drenthe seems to be fake and from over a week ago.

Sol Campbell having a medical at Newcastle

What an awful awful awful awful signing

I need to get myself a club squad to root for.

He was alright at Arsenal last season, and on a free, I really don't mind. Decent 3rd/4th centerback.

I thought I'd follow QPR but them being in the Championship it might be hard to find games to watch. So I think I've decided to follow Everton. I like some of the players on the team, Cahill, Howard, Heitinga, and Baines. I've read that they are pretty big rivals with Liverpool.

I may hop on Aston Villa. Ashley Young son.

He was about as alright as Landon Donovan was World Footballer of the Year at Everton.

I'd rather have this at centre half

He is wayyyy past his best and always demands a pretty decent wage.

And i'm not even getting into his fragile state of mind

Obviously he's way past his best, but we're not going to be asking him to do that. Sounds like 35k is his wage, pretty average, not that big of a deal.

To be honest, I really dislike Campbell, and hated that Arsenal gave him a chance last season, I hate his face, I hate when he talks. Just hate him, but there's no denying he was a solid 3rd choice centerback for Arsenal last season. And if he fails here, then he rides the bench and Mike Ashley spent some wasted average ages, not a bad risk.
