What a Confederations Cup Luis Fabiano had. Top scorer and looked a world beater. Been prominent for the national team since Dunga's reign, with a quite frightening scoring rate. Didn't have maybe quite as brilliant a season for Sevilla last year, despite them finishing a sturdy 3rd, but no one would doubt his quality.

In today's silly market of Kaka going for 56M, C Ron costing 80M and Alonso 30 not to mention Santa Cruz for 18M, prices are insane, and a striker of Fabiano's quality would be worth 20-30M easily.

Yet Sevilla only wanted about 15-18M tops? And Milan refused to go higher than about 8M?

The Fabiano case is a curious one - a world class striker who's played at the highest levels and done well in them, including a fantastic Confeds Cup, yet Milan, a team not completely poor if not quite Man City refuse to pay what he's worth?

Refuse to pay anything more than about 8M?

And then a month or so later sign KJH for about 13M?

So, we wouldn't pay that money for Fabiano, but would for KJH.

I don't quite understand that.

Not really what I said bud (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In fact, nothing like what I said (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

But I have no idea why BS recommends French women...

I don't think French women have anything to do with this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You did not say that you expected him to win the game on his own, no, but then what did you expect of him to bring this issue up after only one game?

He's on drugs again. That's why! He'll look at a picture of Samuel L Jackson and go, "Goddamn...Kate Winslet looks hot in that pic!", when he's that buzzed.

That was one time!

Stop swearing so much, what do you think you are? British?

I thought you only say bloody. And that does not even count.

Sacre Bleu!

I might be mistaken but we've had 3 games where he could feature? He was omitted from both the derby and the CL game, and started Livorno, making no impact.

For someone who cost 15M or whatever it was, our lack of faith in him thus far to actually deploy him regularly is curious.

I will stand partially corrected on that point if he starts on Sunday - however, his performance will be getting keenly scrutinised in that match,

I guess I just feel that 3 matches gone, he's made no impact on any level yet, and hasn't even started 2 of the 3 games he was available for.

I don't expect him to bring peace to the middle east, but he was our big signing in the summer and really hasn't had any influence at all yet.

Same could be said for your hero ronaldinho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

No it couldn't - he was the difference against Siena. He's not been spectacular since then, but he has contributed something.

(and he's not my hero - why do people think I love the guy)

because you chose to ignore his form against livorno / inter to build up the siena game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No I didn't - he was rotten V Inter - but the whole team was too.

As for Livorno, I didn't get to see a great deal of it, but I understand he was poor there too.

I'm not hiding from when he plays badly, just as I will praise when he plays well.

Some don't want to credit him for the latter though.
