More or less I suppose. However, the resurgence of the cantera is a recent phenomena where the starting XI is dominated by La Masia or Catalan players.

Some of the key defenders & midfielders over the last decade: De Boer, Reiziger, Cocu, Zenden, Figo, Riquelme.

But it's true, the forwards have largely been foreign players over the years

Gotcha, I thought I might have been overestimating with the other areas a bit about the quota of Spanish/Catalan players, but it was the forward trident that I was sure were always foreign, Pedro and Villa are the only two I can think of up front that are Spanish in the last decade at least.

My first reaction was 'why would Moyes need to buy strikers from Everton? He's already the manager there'. This whole new manager thing is going to take some getting used to.

I know what you mean, I keep having conversations where I need to correct myself as I keep forgetting Fergie is no longer our manager.

Stretford's been on a massive PR exercise this week and he hasn't stopped for the Sunday papers either. More 'woe is my client' tales afoot.

What a gimp. Rooney's no better either, in my opinion. Have some balls and come out and say what you want to say instead of having your agent leak stories.

I'm so tired of his shit and cannot wait until he's gone.
 
i m not overly convinced he ll leave but i m hoping he does so. The older he grows, he ll find it harder to keep fit.
 
I don't think he'll leave, and I'll be very happy if he doesn't, too. Horribly underrated on the Caf. Anyone thinking it wouldn't be a serious blow to our squad just isn't being objective.
 
This thread to quadruple in size by the summer? With it seemingly being the most mental summer ever...

  • Neymar to Barca
  • Gotze to Bayern, Lewandowski looking likely to follow
  • Monaco spending big - Moutinho and Rodriquez already bought
  • Moyes will need a midfield if he hopes for a successful tenure
  • The future of Rooney and Nani is unclear
  • Pellegrini to surely strengthen City
  • Mourinho will also be looking to add to the Chelsea squad
  • Arsenal look intent on spending big for once
  • Madrid...will be Madrid
  • Stoke and Everton need managers
  • I don't know much about the Italian clubs but I'm sure they'll join in

Everyone has realized they need to catch up with Bayern and Bayern have decided they're not going to wait around...I might take a football hiatus.

Neymar to Barca is interesting, Gotze to Bayern the day before the CL semi was interesting, Monaco's massive splurge is interesting.

It's just dull as shit for us English teams is all. Looks like we all will be the Jewish kids at Xmas this time, not just one :(
 
Monaco have just signed the Jewish kids, btw.

I don't see why people are confused by this despite it being twitterized with a character limit. He's saying Moyes claims of wanting to keep Rooney are PR spin and that he really wants rid of him for business reasons.

No it is just info that has done the rounds I picked the first account I saw I could have posted it from many. It was said on Sky sports news.
 
These twitter posts about the location of our scouts are also to be taken with a pinch of salt. Its not uncommon in the past for Martin Ferguson to be spotted in France, Portugal and Spain on the same night.

I'm sure they know a fair but more about Cesc, but I wouldn't object to either being scouted if true.
 
I thought giving JaffyJoe a tagline would make him slow down...
 
Was the commentator named Football Dave, mate? :D
 
Well it wouldn't surprise if we did. When SAF was at the german final last season, it solidified our interest in Kagawa. Moyes watching Thiago would have solidified our interest even more. Although, I'm not sure he can do that just yet.
