Because I can't ever assume he is fit and ready to play.

Yeah, but Inter lost Bonucci in that deal.

He's too busy rebuilding the Colosseum to spend money on Fiorentina... - - - Updated - - - Of course not.

Fiorentina could do with a player who is likely to beat his man one-on-one with some regularity. I'm no fan of Zarate, but I don't think Fiorentina are far off the mark in looking for that kind of player. - - - Updated - - - They definitely need some different options. Against Juve and Milan...

His current role where he is either playing deepish or wide-ish mean that the chances he is getting are all pretty hard and not ideal for someone low on confidence. Could do with getting to play as a more limited, more orthodox centre-forward to see if he might get an easier chance or two to...

Because he made a bad error to allow Keita Lazio's only chance. - - - Updated - - - Thought Lichsteiner was okay, but wondered at the time if Zaza was onside given the way he appeared to be coming back the way by the time he got the ball from Pogba. Haven't seen anything to clarify that, but...

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Guess a lot of it depends on what the plans are for the shape of the team next season. He's an awkward player, Cuadrado, because he needs quite particular circumstances to do well, but there's no sign that he's ever going to provide enough end product for him...

Muscular performance from Juve to get through that. Wasn't a lot of quality in the game in the first hour, but Juve gradually ground Lazio down. Was very hard for Juve to play through Lazio with the way they were organised in the first half as Lazio blocked up the midfield very well and forced...

Going back to the game itself, the team Sarri picked really showed where Napoli lack depth. Mertens and Lopez are both useful players, but they can't replace Insigne and Hamsik. Any team is going to struggle without key creative players, but you need something on the bench that it some way...

A simple spelling mistake has led to a 10-year-old Muslim boy being interviewed by British police over suspected links to terrorism. The boy, who lives in Accrington in Lancashire, wrote in his primary school English class that he lived in a “terrorist house”. He meant to write “terraced...

I'm not so sure. That's why I won't take anything before it's been tested on the French.

Strictly speaking, money would only go to Real Madrid if there is a sell-on clause, which would be entirely separate from the buy-back. Juve could choose to sell Morata at any time and won't need Real's permission. Of course, Real are entitled to activate their buy-back clause, but they've no...

:disagree: Overpriced, unproven...

:boh: How long does it take to change the packaging to include 'may cause death' among the side effects?

French drug trial leaves one brain dead and five critically ill http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/15/french-drug-trial-one-person-in-coma-and-five-critically-ill Off to some charity quiz thing tonight. I think 'The French Drug Trialists' would be a good team name.

And in that game Juve had very little interest in having the ball. It was just a question of containing and counter-attacking - no real thought of Juve having the ball for extended periods and having to break Real down.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't make every effort to negotiate a peaceful solution before moving to more aggressive tactics. I wasn't in favour of the UK going and bombing Syria, for instance, because I didn't think they had made enough of an effort to negotiate with key parties. Instead they took...
