Euro Division Homepage LXXVIII

I don't really know what to think about us signing Eto'o.

Useful depth. Shouldn't really be a regular starter but he'd be sharp enough off the bench.

I still think Eto'o has something to offer, despite his age. Arsenal though, in my view would be the best destination for him.

Sent tactics viva, had them ready to send then fell asleep at 1am lol

Eto'o will be alright backup, tbh thought Everton would've gone for a younger option 

Any of you folks heard of Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe? Nodge have agreed a fee with Brugge for him

His 1 goal in 2.5 games will appeal, him earning not far off £100k p/w wont. Would be better off trying to sign a Welbeck/Jay Rodriguez for a transfer fee and lower wages.

Everton nearly signed Odjidja-Ofoe on loan a couple of years ago. We had the deal confirmed, but it was all too late going through on deadline day and FIFA refused the deal.

The reports at the time were that he was a very decent player, and I think even Vincent Kompany gave him some good press. Never seen him play though

Are you still happy to vote on Trebs and my game this week Viva?

THat is exactly where I'm at. Can't reconcile the two!

I wish I was in Norwich tonight.

COME ON CRAWLEY!

You'll win cos we'll play the kids I'd imagine (or hope we so to give our starters a rest before Saturday)

I ain't going, so I'll rely on radio updates, kinda hope you win tbf we could do without the distraction of the league cup, I wouldn't mind an fa cup run

Yeah I've seen that, he seems to be in the Fer mould. I'm not sure it'll happen (don't think the player will want to come) but if he does he'd add great power to an already strong midfield. Tettey is dominating the Championship so far

With the money PL sides have under the new TV deal I wouldnt be worried

Everton don't seem the type of club to write off £5m in wages over a year just to sign a backup striker.

Might have a Subway today, what's the best Subway?

Italian BMT, Cheese and herb bread.

TalkSport mentioning how Eto'o may only be earning £55k p/w, that would massively change things.

Marky wrote:Italian BMT, Cheese and herb bread.

I will try that today.

Steak and cheese on Italian H&C, with all the salad and sweet onion sauce

Maybe Daniel Sturridge would have played better last night if he wasn't constantly going to Subway.

I usually make a pizza style sub. No jalapenos though because they usually put on about 50

Dejan Lovren put in a complete lolz of a performance last night

£5 for a 12 incher BMT and a drink or £3 for a 6 incher BMT and a drink, I know which one I'll be going for.

LVG must go back to 4-3-3

De Gea

Rafael-Evans-Rojo-Shaw

Herrera-Carrick-Cleverley

Januzaj---RVP---Di Maria

Surely 4-2-3-1 with Rooney behind RVP instead of Cleverely?

Admittedly this is assuming Cleverley is replaced, and United really need a destructive presence in there. Herrera and Carrick as a two in midfield is too lightweight for me.

The 3-5-2 doesn't work in this league for me (Prem that is), just leaves the wing back with too much to do in a high tempo league

Uniteds transfer policy over the last 12 months has made little sense. 200m spent and are they really any better?

Also Mata will be in that side.

From the weekend's European football over the weekend, a bargain TP opportunity is out there.

This one would be right up Hero's street

Tbf Mata with 7 goals in 8 games deserves to be in there actually.

I don't get the Utd fans slagging him off, he's doing alright but he's simply getting no service

Both Mata and Rooney have to play centrally. To be honest he was more a big name signing in the first place.

I don't know whether you were talking of Munir but I was gonna sign him after the barca game but forgot cheers for the reminder lol

Nope. Gianluca Gaudino made his debut for Bayern on Friday and for a large part of the game he was their best player. As good a debut as I have seen from a youngster in a long, long time.

If you get the chance, try and have a watch of it. If that game is anything to go on, Bayern have unearthed another real prospect there.

GSC wrote:Both Mata and Rooney have to play centrally. To be honest he was more a big name signing in the first place.

But he's still a great player. In most of the top teams there's always room for 1 "passenger" as long as they're either scoring or creating, which Mata is doing.

Munnir the Barca kid?

The problem is United don't have a top team. They aren't good enough to carry a player like Mata. Jose never fancied him for a reason.

Oh yes he played very well and didn't look like someone making his debut.

Nope, although he looks a brilliant prospect as well tbh. Took his goal really well and what a great ball from Rakitic. Olly signed him for what looks to be a bargain, although Giadino is much cheaper and looked equally as good

I signed Rakitic for cheap a couple of years ago

You're ahead of your time.

Had a really good season last year and looks to have fitted right in at Barca. Seemed to be playing a little bit deeper than he did for Sevilla though

Now hes 26m on TM

People laughed back then when I did a deal involving swapping Vertonghen for Godin

Lawyers and Injuries up

Anyone want to beat 2m for Demichelis.

We need Bournemouth to halt this losing run to get Cherries back.

Don't panic.

They are eyeing up Carlton Cole so all will return to normal soon

To be fair, he did a good job for West Ham in the Championship.

Not sure I'd pay 1m for him mind. His wages must be sizable for a lower league side.

I snoozed I losed on Munir, was meant to sell to lawyer earlier this morning but got meetings.

Looking at selling both my lawyers and signing a striker, I have £12.5m to spend.

So if anyone wants Long or Gutierrez, bid now. Or if anyone is selling a good striker, let me know.
