1. much younger, intact physique, some untapped potential i guess .. me too
  2. Handanovic is a top goalkeeper, the rumoured fee reflects that. Who would you want as replacement? Who is likely to be a possible replacement? If I was him, I'd stay at Inter unless I was guaranteed first team football.
  3. It will be interesting to see where Loic Remy will be going. Apparently he has a massive relegation release clause in his contract.
  4. taking into account that Moratti is going to keep the budget low this year too .. Agazzi from Cagliari is quite good, Marchetti is even better but i don't think Lazio is going to sell it away, not cheap at least.
    i can't see any who can be not even close to Handa at low cost
  5. Ten game ban for Suarez...
  6. too much for me .. or tooooo little other kind of bans
  7. Mega ban. He deserves it on the whole I think. What he did was assault and he's got away with plenty in the past and he is a repeat offender.
  8. where's the difference between a bite and a punch, an elbow, a headshot, a straight tackle right on the ankle or knee?
    if he is recidivous give him a couple more, not so much.
    i'm not saying it's not right in itself .. it's not right compared to many other bans
  9. Given that the Dutch FA set the precedent with a seven game ban and this is a repeat offence on top of his previous behaviour with the English FA, I think it's fair. Had this been his first offence, I'm sure the FA would've given him much less. In the space of two months, he's punched a player and bitten another. Why does he deserve less punishment?

    There is no difference. The policing of the game simply isn't as good as it should be but a player with a history of similar offence who clearly never learnsfrom his mistakes should be severely punished until he realises.
  11. Predictions for today? Borussia 2-1 Madrid I think...
