Would be a good change. I'd like to see country protection rules being changed as well. Certainly wouldn't prevent teams from the same country playing each other in the last 16 and might not prevent them playing each other in the groups.

:agree: Bring back Pablo Escobar.

:disagree: This isn't the Falcao.

The translation of 'colpo' in a transfer context can be interesting. There enough going on now to re-open the Falcao thread?

Yeah, there's enough stuff floating around that I feel compelled to actually start taking note of what is meant to be happening. I still find it hard to believe a deal will be done, but I now accept that Juve are interested in Falcao and may well be trying to arrange something.

Pretty good batch of forwards Chievo have this season. On paper, they should be strong enough to avoid even getting involved in a relegation battle.

Forum seems nice and tetchy just now. Beautifully set up for a meltdown if anything other than a convincing Juve wins occurs tomorrow.

:agree: Only Adidas Mundials and Puma Kings are acceptable.

I don't really understand the mocking of the redcafe threads. You could find plenty of posts every bit as stupid if you looked back through some of the classic transfer saga threads around here.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/29/manchester-united-sell-fringe-players-welbeck-kagawa-anderson Some mighty big wages for some mighty average players at Man Utd. This has Hernandez on £88k per week, which probably includes tax, so you'd be looking at about ~3.5m (7m including...

By 'doing well' he means avoiding coming bottom in the group.
