*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

Got Fabregas, Djourou, Merida, Barazite, Mannone and Vela all picked up before they were 18 from various places.
Plus there's Aliadiere who was picked up aged 15 apparently.

Surely someone somewhere will pipe up.

What's odd to me at the moment is that it's exclusively English clubs being singled out for this, when i'm certain foreign clubs have done exactly the same thing.
Cesc and Merida were both very dodgy but the other guys we did pay fees for. Especially Vela who we payed an enormous amount for (a 16 year old especially). Aliadiere came straight from the Clairefontaine academy so I'm not sure what the legality is there.

Aliadiere is a strange one. His record in the reserve and U18 teams was absolutely incredible, I know this isn't a solid base for saying he would do similar things in the top level, but I always thought he would do a shade better than he did, without expecting anything outstanding of him. I mean, plenty of players who have very modest lower level records indeed go on to become really established first teamers, but despite all his success he never kicked on and managed it.

He was so injured he made Rosicky look bulletproof tbh. Could never get a run of games at any level and it must've destroyed his progression. Shame, because we did invest a lot of time in him.

Tbh in his last season he did get a run of games that were effectively make or break, he came through them fine, without any great deal of success, and has been fit ever since joining Boro, also without scoring many goals, though you do wonder how he would have done if he didn't suffer one of his long term injuries quite so early on. Remember how he out of the blue started up fron at Anfield one day, seemed like a crazy decision, but turned out quite well after Pires swerved the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area, is pretty much the only first team memory I have of the young lad tbh. Is married to Leilani apparently, so fair play to him.

Merida so dodgy a fine had to be paid for the situation causing him to leave Barca.

WTF is your problem? That word is ****ing disgusting, why the hell do you have to say it all the time?
Haaa, are you a jackass. You dont even know what the word means & you get all horny on me. Why can't you white blokes accept it as a SIMPLE cultural difference and stop behaving like a nervous wreck.

Up in the North here i dont be getting upset when i go into a pub & middle-age/old white men - with deep northern acsents ask me questions & you hardly understand WTF they be saying. I find it humourous.

You gotta problem with bumbaclathh, rasscalth, *****hole etc etc. Use the bloody ignore list & this goes out to everyone else who has a similar problem. Bullet!!!

Because its a stupid word derived by conservatives in this country to describe black people or anyone who doesn't dress in the "traditional English style"
You're a A moron, most people that I refer to as chavs are white scallies, so take your race card and stick it, thanks

He's a mod, if he has a problem with it then perhaps you shouldn't be saying it. Swear words used by normal people are on the filter, I don't see why these aren't

My main gripe with all the ebonics is that it really isn't English and this is an English speaking forum. At least communicate in a way where 90% of people will actually understand what you're saying.

Seriously, just don't talk like you're a moron. Obviously it'll be hard, given that you are a moron, but at least try instead of living as a stereotype.

If you are going to blow up about people getting upset over words like rassclath, and they don't mean what people think they mean, then say what it really means (that has to make absolutely no sense).

Jesus H Christ, you have the IQ of a chicken. No sorry, the IQ of Ashley Cole.

You Raasclath Chav, grow some brains, at least try and recognise the fact that what you have said is hugely inconsistant with what you were earlier saying about chavs, talk about playing the race card.
