    So I admit that my useage of the word import was incorrect, and rather than being ok with that you resort to ad hominem? You seem to be getting unnecessarily insulted and obtuse over the use of a word which I've explicitly admitted was wrong myself. The fact that Gomez actually shares...

    Most of them share dual nationality. Lewis Holtby was eligible for England, Ozil for Turkey, Gomez for Spain (notably, he has full Spanish citizenship too), Boateng for Ghana, Khedira for Tunisia and Sidney Sam for Nigeria . So yeah, the German football team has a record of convincing dual...

    Well ... yeah, that much is true. Still, they ship the talent in young and make sure they're developed properly. England certainly don't do that much.

    It's because they're trying in desperate vain to emulate Germany. What they don't understand is that Germany has a much more refined youth football system than England, and when they bring their youngsters to the senior team they're already hardened, experienced internationals who have won...

    Given the state of Manchester United's midfield, I have no doubt of that. It won't be quite the same impact though - RVP arguably won Manchester United the title.

    Considering the signing of RVP is what most people credit as the title winning play by Manchester United last season, undoubtedly so. Especially when you consider this year their "big" signing has been Fellaini, who cost £3.5m more than RVP despite it being pretty unlikely he'll have as big n...

    The silver lining of youth football in England. We'll never quite be that bad.

    That is a massive blow for Chelsea. Hazard has been by far one of their best performers so far this season. I personally assumed Eto'o was being brought in to serve as a role model for Lukaku, but the latter's loan move kinda disproved that. It'll be interesting to see how Mourinho plays them...

    Eh, you've a fair point. I just can't see him working as the lone man with the current Chelsea set up. Sure, he's a powerful forward and has a decent finishing ability, but he isn't technically savvy enough to effectively play in front of the midfield Chelsea are fronting right now. Torres...

    As a football fan who quite likes Newcastle, I can sympathise with this a lot. However, an interesting bit I've heard circulating amongst some media outlets is that Newcastle's dire performance in the transfer window comes off the back of an imminent takeover bid, which I feel is long overdue...

    Hardest video game bosses

    I think the optional boss http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Demi-fiend#Digital_Devil_Saga']Demi-Fiend[/URL] from Digital Devil Saga certainly ranks up there. As the link I posted explains, he has effectively 27,000 HP, all of his skills have an altered crit rate, and should you dare to enter...
