True :D Bit like how in the above clip, it was much more interesting to watch Tevez who had it attached to his head (seeing deicison making process besides just direction), unlike Nasri who had it on his cheast.
As long as they don't attach one to John Terry's balls.

Anyone have any info if BeIN Sport is coming to Canada?

I was recently in America, and I loved it. Lots of football action.

BeIN + RAI Italia would be heaven for me.

Mertens. Left winger/left forward, correct?

I certainly remember him looking like a tricky little guy, looks like something their team needs now.
Correct, LW or LF in a 4-3-3.
Can als be used as a AMC in a tactic with a player behind the striker.
Short, fast, scores easily, good free kick and corner taker.

A player that people come to the stadium for, but if he will succeed on a higher level then the Dutch League, I don't know.
I think the limitations he has due to his heigth/weight, might prove to be an issue in a better league.

Although it is Napoli, I kind of hope he succeeds in Italy, can only be good for our NT.
And since Napoli will probablu sell Cavani, I don't think Mertens will be enough to close the gap with us.

Thank you.

He's taller than Giovinco and Insigne, so if his brain and feet are quick enough his size shouldn't be a problem, wider players don't need to be as physically strong. I think those two might be competing for the same spot in the team as well.

Maybe yes.
I do think Mertens is as good, as not better than Gio.
We'll see next season how he'll do.

Then again, I never really had high thoughts about Gio

Mertens is very average and even invisible in most of the 'bigger' games in the Netherlands. Just imagine what difficulties he will face in Italy against defenders who are 10 times the defenders in the Netherlands. Unless he improves his productivity and continuity drastically i don't think he will manage in Serie A. Besides all this i think it's a strange singing, he and Insigne will be competing for the same spot. It would be a shame to have one of those youngsters sitting on the bench, they need time on the pitch.

Insigne will get more chance if it comes between one of them. More quality.

Depends on the exact details of it.

If Parma are going have to spend half of that fee on the wages of the two players it ain't so good.

Great deal if Inter are also paying most of Cassano's and Silvestre's wages. :D
