He's probably posing with his little pistol in his hand.

"Burnley's whole wage bill is less than Eliaquim Mangala's per week."

No surprise but I thought a club like Burnley,in the PL,would at least have a wage bill around £300K a week?

Good player,was in Klinsmann's USA squad in Brazil,didn't get to play.He wasn't given free transfer,Rosenborg wanted to keep him but couldn't agree terms for a new contract.Basically a box to box midfielder with decent rounded skills.

Good player. Not sure he'll ever live up to the hype bestowed on him here.

I didn't know he was hyped over there.

Oh yeah, we love him. He's got ideas on the ball which most Americans lack.

Cool.I wonder where he'll end up,there's been talk of a Mexican club "something Tijuana" but gone a bit quiet.

 

[Alan]

Don't think his fam wants him in Mexico. He'll probably end up in Orlando or New York.

Would make sense.

Arsenal youngster Gedion Zelalem has finalized his US citizenship and has requested personally that the USSF (our FA) begin the process that will make him eligible for play with the USMNT.

Shelvey charged with violent conduct, but Sterling not.

Shelvey charged with violent conduct, but Sterling not.

In my opinion, both players should have been charged.

Aston Villa's Fabian Delph loses his appeal over his red card in the game against Sunderland. I cannot say that I am surprised.

 

[Penk Wolf]

In my opinion, both players should have been charged.

I assume the ref said he seen the one but not the other.

Yes, that can be the only reason that Sterling was not charged. But if the referee and/or his assistant did see the incident then I am surprised that action was not taken at the time.

I'm not. Bottling wankers.

Once again the system see's one team favoured over the other and no punishment for the officials.

Well the Assistant certainly saw it, so it was classed as bit of handbags not worth going further with.

With how contact is dealt with in football these days it was staggering it was left alone. Not a single word to Sterling.

Similarly Sako really should have walked after shoving Halford in the face vs Brighton (unless it's now written into the rules that Greg Halford is fair game, in which case well done all concerned). Right in front of the ref as well.
