It's whether he has the stamina though. May be able to run the 100m, but could he play for 90 mins. If not he'd only be good as an impact sub for the last ten minutes.

Hat trick in the first half hour for Naismith on his home debut.

Here's hoping he can be another inspired Moyes signing.

Two assists for Pienaar as well

Who you playing Afro?

It's Tony Hibbert's testimonial against AEK Athens for some reason.

3-1 so far, approaching half time

I hope they let Hibbert score. He hit the bar at Norwich, probably the closest he has come to scoring in the Prem

If Hibbert's scores, we riot.

We riot!!!!

Hibbo smashes in a free kick

please tell me that's some kind of joke

No. 25 yard free kick smashed under the wall and into the bottom corner.

Goodson went mad

1. It doesn't count as it's only a friendly.
2. That will be the only goal he'll ever score.
3. Why's he getting a testimonial?

1. When you've never scored, every goal counts.
2. True. That's why it was so popular.
3. Length of time at the club

I see.

Did he have any free-kick pedigree?

Hibbert has never scored in 309 appearances for Everton, an unwanted club record, but claims to have no plans to take a penalty should one be awarded against AEK. He said: "Everyone has been asking me that. The manager hasn't said anything, nobody has. I would rather us win 1-0 than us get beaten 2-1 and I score the goal. I just want to win. I don't know why everyone is saying I should take a penalty either. It's an easy way of scoring, isn't it? If I'm going to do it, I want it to be a 30-yarder."

NOt far of.

I can't imagine he has ever been let anywhere near a free kick. He's only been able to pass to a teammate in the last 3 years, and cross a ball in the last 12 months.

Very interesting, especially the comments about PSG

Very very much sour grapes from Mr Ferguson me thinks. $45 million for a 19 year old boy is a lot, but he was going to pay around £30 million so he can't talk lol

No dollars Olly, ££££££££££££££££££££££££££.

Actually...

€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€

Couldn't be backsided going to Wiki and copy and pasting the euro symbol. They've broken their transfer record (again) so it must be fairly near £45m.

United having a torrid summer with signings, I hope RVP gets poached by City right at the end as well

€45m is about £35m (according to that Euros to Pounds converter I just used) so that seems about the fee Sao Paulo wanted Man U to pay. And the £30m-£32m fee Man U reportedly offered was rejected.

I bet Shinji will do better than most other summer signings though. (For once I'm actually being serious and not being petty, I actually do think Shinji will be one of the better summer signings along with Podolski and Marin).

Yeah Fergie's right, 35m is ridiculous for a 19 year old...

In today's money the transfer of an 18 year old Wayne Rooney from Everton to Utd would be 37.2m.

Fergie's lost his marbles

I've heard Marin is a lot like Robben, some games he'll run the show, others he will disappear.

Very excited to see how Chelsea will fit all the players in :P Potentially do a Spain and play 6 midfielders.

Difference with Rooney is he had Premier League pedigree and was going to be a star, there was no two ways about it. Lucas has played in a weak Brazilian league and to be quite honest, I'm glad we're not spending ridiculous money on him. If we're making a £35m signing, I'd sooner we went for Marchisio, Khedira, or another midfielder of that ilk. Would even prefer Hulk.

But Rooney wasn't a sure fire star. He could have been the next Francis Jeffers for all we knew when Utd signed him. But he obviously he wasn't lol

He had just murked everyone at the 2004 Euros, I think anyone who predicted Rooney to flop would have been laughed at.

Rooney had already played and scored for England before Man U spend that much on him. And they're the 3rd best team in the world. No-ones even heard of that Brazil country Lucas Moura plays for...

Well personally I think Utd have missed out big time on Lucas Moura and I dont even have him on here!!!

Lucas Moura is basically Theo Walcott with Brazilian technique. I don't think it'll be the same as when Man U missed out on Ronaldinho but I do think they'll regret it when Lucas is winning the Champions League with PSG...

Oscar > Lucas

(Marky, are PSG winning the CL because of Lucas or is Lucas winning the CL because of PSG? )

More because of PSG, although Lucas would add to it.

Morning

Well I'm glad Lucas is joining PSG, I heard the agent got £9m out of it. We'll see if he is the real deal or not.

Having seen next to nothing of Lucas or Oscar, I can't comment whether he is worth it or not.

But from the bits I saw in the Olympics, I would have gone for Oscar over Lucas

Hey, do you guys want to do a Sun Dream Team league among the 16 of us?

I'd be up for that.

morning , i have sent cup final votes

I am already doing the telegraph dream team with the e-fed lot

Should do that one really. It is better in my opinion

Morning all,

I'd be up for that Sodhat

Yeah but it's a bit to upper class for us Euro Division boys... We don't read the Telegraph, it barely features Rihanna in there at all.

Speak for yourself, I've been posting links on here to Telegraph articles this morning!
I believe that the tablet makes the broadsheets a lot more appealing than they used to be, do keep contemplating getting the subscription to the Times app as it's real quality.

Do the Telegraph one. The Sun one would just downgrade all of us

I bought The Times on Monday. Damn you Murdoch!

I hate people reading actual broadsheets on the train, they take up the whole carriage with their ridiculously large paper. I generally read the Guardian on an app (I'm not an extreme lefty, but I find it far more tolerable than other coverage).

We'll do the Telegraph one then, no issue with that. I will put a new homepage up when we hit 20 pages and note it at the top with participants.

But that's not because we are high brow, it's because we are getting old.

I can't go near The Sun. Still scum of the earth in the aftermath of Hillsborough IMO

Time for me to settle down and watch the 2011/12 Norwich City season review DVD I just purchased along with my new home shirt. Back in the football mood

I always thought the Guardian was a righty, although I suppose you could make a case for the word "Guardian" being left or right. Our Modern Studies (Politics) teacher once told us the stance of each newspaper. I've forgotten.

You'll need the home shirt to dry your tears as you realise Lambert is gone.
