A bit generous to say Rashford is better than Sterling. Compare their numbers and Rashford is nowhere near him... To be fair, we should be playing the both of them and Kane IMO.

Like the other night, truly a game of two halves. Now it’s 2-0...

http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=38086&season_id=149 Agree with the last part tbh. Ideally, a one year deal with the option of a second, based on performance would be the best option all around IMO.

I’m only there on the Sunday tbh, so I’ve got to miss who you mentioned sadly! I’ve smashed Sampha’s album out a lot so that’s disappointing to miss! Though I did see The XX last year and it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. Sensational.

Hot Chip- Huarache lights

Re Downing, his form really did drop at a time to be fair. He had looked very good initially, but maybe that was down to the calming influence of Mulgrew. Then Lenihan came back and he was dropped, so it wasn't really an issue after that.

I'm going to Parklife on Sunday, I initially got my ticket just because of Jamie XX, but turns out there are loads of other bands I'll be keen to watch. House music wise- Jamie XX, Four Tet, Bicep, Carl Cox, then otherwise- Everything Everything, Chvrches and Skepta. I might just give Liam Gallagher a pass.....

The Pigeon Detectives- I found out

No such brigade really exists, to be fair. It's only ever JAL who queries the identity of players' agents. Strange really, when the device he's posting on has access to a well-known search engine which could provide the answer to the question so it doesn't need to be checked on here......

Judging from some comments online, it seems to be down to Sane not really doing the business for Germany so far tbh....

Scotland have had loads of English born players over the years and continue to do so, so again, that excuse doesn't wash I'm afraid.

Dryhorse, you've moved the goalposts so many times they're now on the cricket pitch.....

Alan Nixon in talking nonsense shocker....

Northern Ireland has a smaller population than Scotland, so does Wales and they've still qualified for tournaments more recently. Hence the population thing doesn't really wash. Seems like the problem runs a bit deeper tbh....

Iceland, Croatia and Belgium also have small populations..... Though I'm not that keen on some of the snobbery in these posts, I mainly created this thread to stop all the Scottish discussion dominating the transfer thread!

Because the transfer thread is getting very circular and repetitive about the thread title, it seems like it deserves its own thread.... VOILA!

Maybe for you. Meanwhile, over here in the real world...... Seriously though, we'd need to spend a lot of cash even getting to that level.

Absolutely mental! It's not even like he's had a poor season!

I think folk have been a bit dramatic about the quality of his performances last season. He showed enough in the early part of the season when he had that purple patch to show he's worth keeping on, IMO. Fair play to the lad putting the hard yards in when most of the other players are away on their holidays.....

Probably because they don’t have the cash...Ask fans of Man City how they feel about foreign owners and see how you get on...

To be fair, Villa will have done this to plenty of other relegated teams over the years themselves....

To be fair, neither of his names are names you'd normally associate with Norway.....

Cypress Hill- Dr Greenthumb

Yet a quick Google search will tell you he's won twice as many promotions than Mick McCarthy as a manager.... It's a funny old game.
