A++++, would read again. Excellent response to my entirely reasonable post.

Quite rich coming from the individual who made 'u mad' famous

Would & wouldn't be a target?
You say that as if that's my opinion on the matter, so I guess either my post inferred that unintentionally (which I can't see)

Yes your post inferred that the keeper on loan from your club is good enough to be Barca's keeper but De Gea isn't

JohnnyG · 19 Jan 2013 at 23:04

Sorry, I should've said something like "as is being talked about in the Spanish press apparently" to quantify it, silly me.

Edit: And if that doesn't make it clear enough for you, IT'S NOT MY OPINION, I DON'T CARE WHO'S BEST OUT OF THE 2 OR WHO'S BEST FOR BARCELONA.

Wouldn't be surprised if they came for Reina

Me neither, he's still got a good few years left in him & would be less of a gamble than Courtois or De Gea. Plus again I think he'd have a hard time turning them down should they come calling at this stage of his career.

BaZ87 · 19 Jan 2013 at 23:17

They'd have to offer us Messi before I'd consider it.

Or you know dont dismiss one in one line and then promptly speak about the other for the majority of the rest of the post if you dont want to be seen as favouring one over the other

I'll also point out 2 things, firstly I wasn't the only one who took your post the way I did and secondly you felt you needed to mention that the on loan Chelsea keeper is doing great at Atletico Madrid.... if you're not comparing the two then that's meaningless given the guy you're dismissing also 'did great' at that same club

They could offer us £6m and tell us Crouch fancied a job for £13m and Ian Ayre and FSG would take it.

Yeah probably 8 at least, probably one of if not, the best keeper with his feet and distribution also.

Stunning keeper with non english coaches and a bit of confidence.

I didn't even know De Gea came from A. Madrid, I care that little about him or his previous.
Just for once try taking a post at face value instead of looking for hidden digs.

And he's spent time there before if I'm not mistaken so they'll know him.

Yes, was still a Liverpool player at heart though

Yeah I can see how you dont care about De Gea, it's not like you quoted a post from 2 days ago just to say he's not good enough to play for Barcelona is it. It's also not like you said this about him in October either is it

JohnnyG said:
Brilliant? not really, he made a couple of great reaction saves granted.
He has absolutely no presence in what should be his area, he's nowhere to be seen on corners and every time he had the ball Evans & Rio had to skirt round the area looking for it even when under pressure, it was blatantly obvious his defence have no confidence in him.

Moses said:
I wish I could make such a claim. Ironic that you're still not engaging, though .

Not ironic at all, I dont care about what you say, haven't done for quite some time, only took you off the ignore list because I thought you were done here

To be fair to Tom that is hard in The Passive Aggressive Stadium.

Biz.Kid09 · 19 Jan 2013 at 23:47

Gazzetta is saying that there is a possible deal being close for £23.5million paid over 6 years for Balotelli.

Wouldn't be surprised if we take it out of Mancini's hands and accept that deal. We aren't going to get a better one unless he starts playing games and scoring goals.

Oh I see, you've edited your post to include one I posted criticising De Gea when I thought he was **** in a game, good for you!
I still don't care where he's from, who he plays for now or has done in the past.

The Running Man · 19 Jan 2013 at 23:58

Victor Valdez is worse or only about the same as de gea.

App. he is putting his house in England for rent and transferring his stuff to Italy. Loan move maybe?

No you just care about how he's doing now (given you gave your opinion on it) and this argument (given you now wont shut up about it)

Given you're not about hidden digs you've certainly done well baiting me into this reply

JohnnyG · 20 Jan 2013 at 00:19

My posts have no intention of baiting you to do anything, don't flatter yourself.
My initial comment on the situation was and is meant in the way it reads, that's all, no matter how much paranoia you throw at it.
Get some help.

Tom84 · 20 Jan 2013 at 00:26

It would help if you stopped posting
