Not only that, Warro, but you did it to close the 400th page...

add them up and you have a NICE - ROUND 1,000 (you started thinking of JLo, didn't you?)

so your prize will be to search for Jim's photo in the MM Members Pictures thread...

Even if 6000+400 doesnt add up to 1000, JLo is such a 1000...she blows the old rating system out of "10" not only out of the water, but out of the known universe as well

Couldnt think of a better prize than to look for Sir Jim of Liverpool´s mug shot!

Warro I know you have a point about Kaka being humble and a player like him is hard to get, he did have an immediate impact and to be honest I think there are only a few players if any like him in the world. The younger generation should use him as an idol, they should look at the way he broke in to the team and use that as motivation. I personally think that is the main difference between Seria A and the EPL, in the PL the younger player go on loan or they stick with the clubs playing in a mickey mouse cup (Carling cup) or maybe a few starts in the FA Cup and if they look like they can handle the game well then they are thrown into the starting 11.

I think we need to try for the young players as im sure only a very few would want a place with the starting line up automatically as its logic for them to prove them selves first. You mentioned a point earlier on about Pato automatically being in the squad for Chelsea - but you should look at the competition he faces up front, for starters hes against Drogba & Sheva (Will Jomo drop any of these, I doubt it and you also have Kalou who is Jomo's favourite) and im sure it would of crossed Patos mind he has a better chance at breaking into the Milan team with an injury prone Ronaldo, misfiring Gillardino and ermmm an old (but a legend) Pippo.

I think you misunderstand me Bandito...I was using Chelski as a hypothetical example, nothing more. Indeed, Pato would face the same/similar challenges, but I do think the bottom line remains the same: He would opt for a club where he would be given a starting role, or at least a spot on the bench, as opposed to joining a giant, but getting loaned out for a year or so.

I am sure Kaka was given assurances he wouldnt be loaned out...are you closer/getting my point now?

warro bantan wuh yah do me mun?

hitmann...mi nuh kno star...tell mi nuh?

later dudes...going home now..."chat" with yall tomorrow, or Monday!!

i planning on comin to jamaica soon.. if i do i'll PM you

Today's Gazzetta:

- Cassano still represents the best solution for Milan, and they will probably go for him. They wait for Pato, and Milan have not fully given up on Ronaldinho, though it may be difficult given that Laporta doesn't seem to want to sell him. Dinho may get his Spanish citizenship before August 31st.
- Also Oliveira may stay ...apparently there is about 250,000 euros difference between what the Brazilian wants and what Zaragoza are willing to offer.
- Sheva return seems difficult


-------------------

So our strikeforce could very well be Ronaldo, Cassano, Gilardino, Oliveira and Inzaghi. I like it.

Hopefully our high-profile signing will be a defender or a midfielder.

Thoughts??

Yeah I agree. I like cassano and I like Ronaldo, it's great. even without oliveira we can do without him and we can do with the money to buy a young defender and for our big signing its looking likely to be dinho..

gota get rid of Oliviera though, with cassano and Ronaldo both ahead of him hes just going to get paid to sit on the bench.

I didn't forget to say that!I was off line.And when i come on line you had already anticipated me, when i was ready to post it first! ......................... !

If shevas arrival is doubtful, if Chelsea are willing to let Robben go that could be an option..
