Nuke - noticed how Madrid's kit last season resembled Swansea's from the season before? Adidas getting real lazy. Although at least for Madrid they changed black to dark blue.
Lapras - longname is actually Toby Alderwield, btw. (may not be spelt right, but its not that long). And is Ajax seriously considered on par with Norwich? Unlike Norwich (and Liverpool and Spurs) they get Champions League football.
On the topic of Bale - Spurs should cash in, he may well become more inconsistent after one good half-season (I mean, he destroyed Inter then fell of the radar for a couple of years, what if this is just a more prolonged spell of good, then he'll next hit good form playing for Carlisle United in 2016?). Alright harsh example, but still - squeeze about £60m, Di Maria and Coentrao out of Perez and Spurs are in business. Not just in terms of being rich, but of being likely to keep Arsenal out of the CL next season.
I haven't been on this thread a while, but what was with the Welbeck bashing? I can understand if you dislike United, or are disdainful of his club form but as far as the national side goes, he's got a better goals-games ratio than most of our national strikers. Plus, he's been stuck out on the wing a lot because United got RVP and Chicharito hit form too. Perhaps Sturridge would be a better fit, playing in front of Rooney, but Welbeck's hardly unworthy of the shirt.
