Welcome to ESPNSTAR.com's first ever LIVE football chat!

2:33 ESPNSTAR.com:

Before we get into your questions - let's take a look at some of the topics we want to

talk about today.

2:34 ESPNSTAR.com:

There's of course the upcoming Euro 2012 matches which leads us nicely onto the

Rooney's drama with his father.

2:34 Will Rooney be distracted by his father's arrest for an alleged betting scam?

Yes( 34% )

No( 66% )

2:35 ESPNSTAR.com:

But the fun doesn't end there. We'll also talk about Arsenal and whether or not RVP

will become the latest Gunners to jump ship and join Man City as well as Chelsea

under AVB.

2:35 Can Arsenal keep Robin van Persie at the Emirates?

Yes

( 42% )

No

( 58% )


2/37

2:36 ESPNSTAR.com:

La Liga and Serie A fans do not fret - we'll get into Real Madrid and Juventus a little

later too.

2:36 ESPNSTAR.com:

So.........ANY QUESTIONS? Who wants to get the ball rolling?

2:37 Comment From Shadaab Khan

Should Maanchester city alloe tevez to leave the club for his family?

2:37 What should Man City do with Carlos Tevez?

Get rid of him( 86% )

Keep him( 14% )

2:38 ESPNSTAR.com:

There are a few of you guys asking about Tevez. Our stance is that he has a contract

and must honour it.

2:38 What will be the result between Liverpool and Man United next Saturday at Anfield?

Liverpool win

( 44% )

Draw

( 6% )

Man United win( 50% )

2:39 Comment From Akshay

I think Manchester City should have sold Tevez to Corianthas wwhen they had bid 40

million for him ! I guess they are now suffering of being greedy.. Wat do u think ?

2:39 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ Akshay. Actually, no Corinthians couldn't come up with the cash in time that's why

it didn't happen. Nothing to do with City being greedy.

2:40 Comment From lzs

Did RVP personally mention going to Man City?

2:41 ESPNSTAR.com:

Guys - just bear with us while we sort through all of your comments. We'll get to asmany as we can.

2:41 ESPNSTAR.com:

@lzs: No he did not directly mention about joining City, but here's what he said:

"I do not know," he said. "For one thing, as an indication, when I came to Arsenal we

immediately beat City. But in recent years much has happened in England."

2:42 Comment From Professionalwhat do u think about johnny Evans? And how is better? Nani or young?

2:42 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Professional: Evans? Good enough to make it at United, but not first team calibre

definitely.

Young and Nani are scary wingers! Both for different reasons - Nani's more of a

game changer, isn't he? While Young's got that consistent penetration week in, week

out.

2:43 ESPNSTAR.com:

Tevez appears to be a really hot topic for you guys.

2:43 Comment From nanichel

Tevez as a player is good but his behavior makes him so unprofessional.

2:43 Comment From AkshayIf Man City wants to get rid of Tevez, which club do u think ll be the best for him ?

2:43 Comment From subrat

Tevez should be sold immidiately in january..


4/37


5/37

@nikhil...no way...i dnt think why united should buy him they hve got cleverly...who

plays in the same position ..so no use getting sniejder...

2:49 Comment From Shrey

who is better Suarez or Torres?

2:50 ESPNSTAR.com:

Shrey: That's a tough one. Here's my take - Based on form, it's Suarez. But based on

natural ability, it has gotta be Torres.

2:50 Comment From Mohit Kaushal

but is current utd squad good enough tto even stand a chance against barca??

2:50 Comment From Nikhil

ok. then what do you think united has to do to match barca?

2:51 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ Nikhil. Well Rooney said it earlier this week. Barca are so good at defending as a

unit and winning the ball back in their opponents half. United need to do the same.


@mohit;No way!!Man utd cant stand a chance against Barca...they are too good!

2:51 Comment From Sid

Its not a thing that will happen over a season

2:52 Comment From farhan

well in my view...united cannot beat barca...its only madrid...who can ....they have

ammunition and the man to blast it out...jose mourinho...common ...he is any day a

better coach than pep....

2:52 Comment From saurabh

Barca is much better in the transition from attack to defense for one...everyone knows

how strong they are going forward...but if man utd can match the transitions i think it

can be a close...

2:54 Comment From rahul

sprs....i think they r playing the best in the three

2:54 Comment From Rajesh

Liverpool will take up 4th position

2:54 Comment From Sahil Chugh

liverpool

2:54 Comment From [email protected] are not in the champions laeague...but they have feel it last

season..n they vl be dying for it this season also...n they have d squad to do it...

2:55 Comment From ram

@espn Spurs lack the consistency, and liverpool have a better talent pool compared to

spurs, just look at their mid-field.

2:55 Comment From Shubhi14

I Wanted to ask Why Is Espnstar Always against ARENAL?

2:56 ESPNSTAR.com:

Thanks for asking that. We've been wanting to respond to this for a while. We're NOT

against Arsenal or FOR any club. Our news pieces are just a reflection of what's

happening at the club...

2:56 ESPNSTAR.com:

And Arsenal are simply going through a tough period - I'm sure all fans would agree...

2:57 ESPNSTAR.com:

But just to prove we're not against Arsenal - here's an appreciation piece we did on

Wenger recently:http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-

of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/
http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item683020/15-years-of-Wenger:-An-appreciation/


8/37

2:58 Comment From saurabh

i think wenger should let go of arsenal now...its about time he acknowledged that his

style of working is no longer going to bring trophies to a club in the premier league

anymore

2:58 Comment From Sujan Maharjan

for all arsenal fans ....change the boss

2:58 Comment From Adit

i think arsenal need Vermaelen to come back and lead the backline

2:58 Comment From farhan

arsenal were fantastic last season....if they had a top quality striker to partner withrvp...they would have given barca the taste of defeat...but didnt happen..their transfer

policy is not good...atleast in the present state of the club...


i think arsenal need team spirit!


Comeon Guys WENGER is 1 of the bestest managers The GAME HAS EVER

SEEN! a few bad results doesnt change anything! hez still the bestest in the business!

2:59 Comment From Pankil Patolia

can you say if espnstar going to arrange this kind of chat on regular day basis?i'd love

it.


agree with pankil :D

3:00 Comment From Jonathan

@ESPNSTAR Though I hate to admit it, but that's right, Arsenal are doing way

below expectations currently, they are competing against Free spending Man City and

Chelsea, A whole new transformed Liverpool, upcoming team Tottenham, and

Defending Championd Man Utd, Wenger has to really see the situation right now.


9/37

3:00 ESPNSTAR.com:

Thanks! It depends on the reception we get - since this is the first time we've had a

live blog on a non-match day...clearly we have one supporter in you.

3:01 ESPNSTAR.com:That comment was directed at Pankil and Shubhi

3:01 ESPNSTAR.com:

Ok guys, lets keep the conversation going so we can touch on as many topics as

possible in the 90 minutes we have. Up next: Chelsea under AVB. What do we think?


hmm.. ok... where do you see chelsea going this season? i mean are they going up or

down. the issues regarding old players and torresr having a bad start

3:01 Comment From ish

should chelsea drop torres??

3:01 Would you guys like to have this LIVE Chat on a weekly basis?

Yes( 90% )

No

( 10% )

3:01 Comment From Guest

torres very bad lucky

3:01 Comment From Rohit

From the last 2 appearances do you think Torres is getting back to his best?

3:02 Comment From SaintkhanHas Torres scored more goals then Caroll this season?


Chelsea has again done a blunder by removing Carlo as thier boss


10/37

3:02 Comment From Now-in Jay

Chelsea-is going up again,under AVB....Torres is getting back to his best..

3:02 ESPNSTAR.com:@Saintkhan: Torres, as of now. Two goals to Carroll's one!

3:03 Comment From Pranit

i think avb will be given a year to stamp his authority on the team by roman and

chelsea will be a force next season...this season just can't s ee past both manchester

clubs so they have to settle for 3rd this season imo

3:04 ESPNSTAR.com:

We believe AVB is doing a good job so far. The Chelsea job comes with its own setof problems - namely player egos - and AVB has set his marker down. The signing of

Juan Mata was particularly good as the Blues squad needed that extra boost.

3:05 ESPNSTAR.com:

His willingness to bench Lampard - one of Chelsea's best ever players - shows he's

not averse to taking tough decisions. And that is a great quality to have when you're in

the Chelsea hotseat


May be AVB has done great with porto, but premier league is different. let c where hegoes.


@espnstar: what do you make of lampard's future at chelsea?


Lampard's moral has disimproved a lot, despite last week's hat-trick. is it because of

the arrival of Meireles, the upcoming of Josh McEachran, or the fact that the Manager

is 2 years younger than him?

3:07 Comment From Saintkhan

@Jonathan Manager is few months older then lampard


11/37

3:07 ESPNSTAR.com:

It's not any of those, we think. Lampard is now in the twilight of his career - and like

all great players whose playing days are about to end, he'll have to adapt to becoming

more of a squad player a la Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes at Manchester United

3:07 Comment From Sujan Maharjan

lampard just gonna be a giggs at united

3:08 Comment From tahir

@espnstar wat do u think any chance of modric coming to chelsea in jan transfer

window??

3:09 Comment From Sujan Maharjanharry will plead him to stay for this season

3:10 ESPNSTAR.com:

@tahir: Hardly any chance - maybe in the summer. He seemed settled at White Hart

Lane now and it is unlikely Redknapp will let him go after working so hard to coax

him to stay

3:10 Comment From Akshay Adwani

Modric wont arrive at chelsea in the jan transfer window..

3:10 Comment From rahul

will espn telecast epl tomorrow in india????????

3:10 ESPNSTAR.com:

@rahul - there are no premier league matches this weekend.

3:10 ESPNSTAR.com:

Just a reminder guys. We are getting a lot of comments at one time and so we can't

publish and respond to them all. We'll try to get though as many as we can.



12/37

@rahul: there is no epl this weekend because of international matche

3:12 ESPNSTAR.com:

On that note. Let's change the topic to the Euros with a bunch of games being played

this weekend.

3:12 Comment From ahmad

Do Capello need to field Rooney after news of his father's arrest? He might be

emotional about it.

3:12 Comment From Abhi

Rooney will definitely play..

3:13 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ahmad: It doesn't seem to be a big matter, especially to Rooney. He has been

through worse, hasn't he? He'll be professional about it, definitely.


@ahmad:capello said rooney is relaxed and will play...

3:13 Comment From dani

@ahmad, nope rooney always play good game even he had problem.

3:13 Comment From Ashu

mikel played while his father died...sure rooney can play!!!


@ashu : his father didn't died he was kidnapped

3:14 Comment From kirmanhow u can say that

3:14 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Ashu: Err...he was kidnapped.


13/37

3:14 Comment From Manohar

Sachin Tendulkar scored a century when his father died.. Remember ?

3:15 ESPNSTAR.com:

Yeah - who was that against? Answers anyone?

3:15 Comment From arun11fcnair

kenya


kenya

3:15 ESPNSTAR.com:

Awesome

3:15 Comment From swift13

@ESPNSTAR, do you think youngsters like Kyle Walker and Phil Jones should be

given a chance? Especially with qualification ALMOST secured?

3:15 Comment From Prathamesh

Definetly

3:16 Comment From jaideep

yes

3:16 Comment From sarams

yes they should be given chance


absolutely

3:16 Comment From AfridiFan_MUFC

Jones can not be kepy out for long.


14/37

3:16 ESPNSTAR.com:

@swift13: For sure. It's now or never for Capello to experiment with the new boys -

especially after they qualify for the Euro 2012 today (If they draw or beat

Montenegro)


ones will be in i think he looks like future captian material

3:17 Comment From Faiz

Is Torres in the line up for Spain today???

3:17 ESPNSTAR.com:

Yup - he's in the squad, alongside Chelsea teammate Juan Mata

3:17 Comment From Vignesh

How many matches are remaining in the qualifiers for england???..

3:18 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Vignesh: Just one more. Against Montenegro.


capello seems to favour gary cahill over jones atm


ones can plat at RB

3:18 Comment From Rixwan Khalid

ones is almost a complete player and it would be a very hard decision for

capello not to select him

3:19 Comment From jaideep

IS KLOSE IN THE LINEUP FOT GERMANY TODAY?

3:20 ESPNSTAR.com:

Yup - he's in the squad and closing in on Gerd Muller's record of 62 goals Germany.

Klose is close! He's on 56..


15/37


@yes nikhil but i just don't see his future at rb


Geramny shud allow players like Muller play regularly

3:21 Comment From chinzo

Germany is up for recent days.


Who has a realistic chance of winning at anfield next week??


DRAW WOULD B NICE :P 3-3

3:22 Comment From Atreya

Manutd ofcourse...

3:22 Comment From jaideepliverpool


Man Utd Vs LFC, too hard to predict. If Utd has fullt fit squad then they

have a chance.

3:22 Comment From jizwin

it would be a draw asi think liverpool will bemore defensive with king kenny as agreat tactician.

3:23 Comment From mlwar red

man utd.......


16/37

3:23 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Guest: Given Man United current form, they will probably start the game as slight

favourites. But form is usually thrown out of the window for these big matches.

3:23 Comment From NikhilMan United has to play very very good. if they play poorly as they did in the

champions league they will loose. but if they do what they do best i am sure they will

win

3:23 Comment From hashim

man utd.united loss lasttime.sothey should start winning at anfield

3:23 Comment From Manohar

Its too close to call. United have been rampant this season but their record at Anfieldoff late has not been good. So we are definitely up for a good match.


will go for a liverpoool win


can both team loss~haha


I think Liverpool shud win to make the EPL race wide open

3:23 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ Guest: Chelsea or Arsenal fan eh?


I know united look likely. But the united defence hass not been at its best of late

3:24 Comment From pince

Liverpool


@guest: both liverpool and manutd defence looks a bit shaky i predict a high scoring
http://time.so/http://time.so/http://time.so/http://time.so/


17/37

game...hopefully in the favour of manutd :p


haha @guest


couldnt agree more with prathamesh


Nani must be up for revege against carragher.. cant wait to see him make carragher

dance to his tricks

3:25 Comment From Dikshant Ghimire

suarez says the red is out of the race, carragher says the race is still on...

whats is it really looking at their recent form?

3:26 Comment From Frankie

I'm not ruling out a Liverpool win

3:26 ESPNSTAR.com:

We don't think they're going to challenge for the title this season. Kenny Dalglish

needs this season to really bring the side together. Champions League qualification iscertainly a possibility though.


3-1 manutd....hernandez scoring brace n rooney one!!

3:26 Comment From prop

liverpool win..


also sir alex will not want to go in the derby against mancity next game behind them

in the league table


@prathamesh: i really hope so buddy... Will be an extremely interesting title race


18/37


Liverpool out of therace.butby beating united they will help Chelsea and city a lot...i

hope they beat

3:27 Comment From Now-in Jay

Liverpool should win thematch.Sothat,tittle race will be wide open.

3:27 Comment From Subhro Roy Choudhury

Manutd should do it easy. Liverpool is still finding its way. Only worry for

manutd is the defence

3:27 Comment From Rixwan Khalid

the cant win the league thats for sure


Absolutely

3:27 Comment From pema

if liverpool win at anfield on 15th, it is liverpool time to win

3:27 Comment From jizwin

@pranit but a liverpool win would make the league more intresting rather alike of

spanish leahue...


@jizwin Epl is much much more competitive than the spanish league...


@Faiz, I'm not sure liverpool will intentionally do a favour for other clubs.


@Espn Guys, lets talk about Berbatov, do you see him leaving in the january transfer
http://race.but/http://race.but/http://race.but/http://match.so/http://match.so/http://match.so/http://match.so/http://race.but/


19/37

window?

3:29 Comment From Asra

@ram who would buy him??


i think hes happy warming the bench....back to spurs maybe ;)


I think Berba might leave and that will open the space for Sneijder probably.


@ram, no. He still has a part to play for the club.

3:29 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ram, Even though Ferguson's constantly insisted Berbatov has a role at United, he's

clearly behind Rooney, Hernandez and even Welbeck in the pecking order.

If a newly-rich club like PSG or Malaga comes in with a decent offer, it might be best

for player and club if Berbatov left Old Trafford.


berba wants to stay. he has all the skills but he doenst work hard and sometimes its

very frustrating to see. but make no mistake he is a genius with the ball


maybe QPR, with all the money they've got.


@ram i feel sorry for him but he has been positive in the press by saying that he loves

manutd and will fight for his place...think he will honour his contract and leave in the

summer

3:30 Comment From advait

no...hes comitted and he has been assured games by SAF in thje future


20/37


@espn thats exaclty what I was thinking

3:30 Comment From rishavjeet

tothnam buy barbatov


berbatov is happy haha~


@ram qpr?he will never leave for a club like that


Many german clubs want berba. but he is a good squad player for utd


berba has a role to play because after owen and rooney he is the only one

with experience.


SAF should give him more chances,,,specially against weaker teams...


berba at CB.. hahaha

3:31 Comment From dee

hahah


ust liked to add what a professional berba has been ... i mean hes the one who was

known to sulk and moan when not selected...but hasnt done that at all....Mr.Tevez

could learn a few things frm him :P


21/37

3:32 ESPNSTAR.com:

Fair comment

3:32 ESPNSTAR.com:

@arun11fcnair


berbatov will go to the old lady....juventus wud b his destination !!!


It's a squad game, what do u expect? U can't just expect to play every game of the

seaso. A Place in the starting 11 has to be earned. And right now, rooney, Hernandez.

and Welbeck deserves it more than he does.


@ arun11fcnair couldnot agree more....

3:33 ESPNSTAR.com:

Ok guys. Switching the focus to Arsenal now and their prospects for this season.

Also, should their fans be worried at the number of their players seemingly headed -

some already have left - for Man City? Ian Wright said Arsenal were in danger of

becoming a feeder club - yes or no?


i think arsenal may just be to manage europa league qualification..........liverpool and

tottenham are gonna be fighting really hard for champs league spot and either united

or chelsea will win

3:33 Comment From Schrutir

well im a gunner fan..but i have seen manutd playing wonderful football...yes i agree

we lost 8-2


Everything is upon RVP


arxenal needs mourinho


22/37

3:34 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ Guest: Really? You think Wenger can't do the job anymore?

3:34 Comment From imran

yes they have become a feeder club


change manager


YES..............arsenal need to buck up soon....they have been losing far too manygames and this is not the arsenal we know


arsenal is becoming like valencia.. wenger makes stars and sell them to bigger clubs..


I hope Arsenal manages to qualify for Champions leaguespot.Buti think it will be

hard for them to do it.


i think arsnl has already become tht....and kind of has been in the past as

well....remembr overmars,petit?

3:34 Comment From Schrutir

i dont think wenger shud be replaced

3:35 Comment From Schrutirwell for those who r ruling arsneal out of 4th spot....well i truly blv...31 games r still

to go..and the club will improve

3:35 Comment From Shalom

wenger can do only as much as hes allowd to
http://spot.but/http://spot.but/http://spot.but/http://spot.but/


23/37


Arsenal! Well next season RVP is on his way out. Not looking good for one

time invincibles.


Wenger had a wonderful chance to buy someone like Scott Parker to boost his club's

chances,he didnt so its their funeral...

3:35 Comment From Mansoor

Gunners need some experienced players with steel, and a leader on the pitch

3:35 Comment From kev

arsenal is like liverpool last season


i completely agree on the espnstar verdict.. becoz of wenger's lack of trophy

winning seasons the players are getting frustrated.. so definately they will be

looking to move to a bigger club just as fabregas and nasri.... wait and watch

van persie will leave too...


@espnstar:yes unless they change their policy and buy quality players themselves so

that good players at the club dell they can fight for the title

3:35 Comment From kobe

in wenger we trust

3:35 Comment From Amor

@espnstar who should we blame over arsenal recent form?


Wenger needs to change his policy. He could have signed Parker and Cahill

along with Samba in transfer window but he didn't. Now the results are in

front of us, Wenger needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

3:36 ESPNSTAR.com:


24/37


25/37


The difference between Utd and Arsenal is so HUGE now. Look at United

bench Park, Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher, Berba, Welback, Fabio, Rio. WHo

have Arsenal on their bench close enough to any one of them? NO ONE.


@wenger yea but football is not mathematics


if wenger goes....who would u want to step in???and old arsenl legend like adams

keown???or experinced heads like an achelloti or rafa?


@arun Hiddink would be great.

3:40 ESPNSTAR.com:

Well Adams and Keown don't have a lot of management experience - so they're

unlikely to be in the running, IF and that's a BIG IF - Wenger were to be sacked...

3:40 ESPNSTAR.com:

A club like Arsenal are likely to go with more established names...

3:40 Comment From Partha

Do not change the manager at arsenal... but the owners do need to re-think about

Wenger's strategies.


If Wenger manages to finish in the top four with this Arsenal side,it will be his

biggest achievement by far...

3:41 Comment From Rohan

@Guest:Ya,definitely...17 mil for a player like Kaka was very cheap...They could

hace bought him and make him the captain....Van Persie and Kaka would have been a

deadly player


@espnstar yes that is true but we have seen in the past younger mangers like zola di


26/37

matteo GUARDIOLA for crying out loud stepping in

3:42 ESPNSTAR.com:

Speaking of Kaka. Let's change the topic to La Liga which of course means Barca and

Real Madrid for the most of you.

3:42 ESPNSTAR.com:

@arun11fcnair: Guardiola had been involved with the Barcelona B team before he

took over...

3:42 Comment From Mourinho

barca will win


Real Madrid Ftw


Barcelona to win comfortably again...

3:42 Comment From Mourinho

mourinho will use eye poking to win


@espnstar fair comment


Actually I think Valencia could have beaten Barca. They were really good.

But then we are talking abt Barca, Messi, Xavi, Inesta, Cesc and Co.


I like valencia's style of football


@espn Isnt Ruud Van Nistelrooy in Malaga??


27/37

3:43 ESPNSTAR.com:

He is. And he just opened his tally for them this past weekend too!

3:44 ESPNSTAR.com:

@AfridiFan_MUFC & Nikhil, On their day, Valencia are more than capable ofmatching it with the big boys. Their only problem is holding on to their biggest stars,

who can be blinded by the bright lights of Barcelona & Real Madrid.


@ESPNSTAR.com:This year Sergio Canales's perfomanes have been very good for

Valencia...What about Sergio Canales to Arsenal????Won't be he good for Gunners?

3:45 Comment From Pranav Gulati

@espnstar That was very much visible when Valencia gave Chelsea a run fortheir money.


I got to agree. Its not just the bright lights of Real and Barca, the latest

example of a star name leaving Valencia happened with Chelsea. Juan Mata.


valencia drew with utd at OT last year


@pranav they gave chelsea a game i think coz of their keeper...what a game for that

lad


@ pranav gulati that was because of a stupid mistake from kalou.............chelsea had

the game wrapped up


@Rohan What Arsenal need right now is a leader. Who can show them the

way. William Galas type.



28/37

Feel sorry for Valencia given the no. of sars they have lost in past few

seasons.Albiol,Villa,Silva and nowMata.Andstill the team is good enough to beat

United or Chelsea or liverpool.

3:47 Comment From Nikhilyes. one would wonder how good valencia will be with silva,mata, and villa

3:47 ESPNSTAR.com:

You can read more about Valencia's situation with their finances and having to sell

their best players here:http://www.espnstar.com/editorial/news/detail/item681610/


@espnstar:who do you think will win the golden boot this year in la liga?messi or

ronaldo :p

3:48 Comment From Wasil

Hey


hey

3:48 ESPNSTAR.com:Hi there...

3:48 Comment From kobe

please, messi.


hey wasil and mohit


messi will win ronaldo

29/37


At.madrid are looking good too


@ESPNSTAR.com:Now the time has come to play Kaka regularly..He is the one who

can bring back the UCL glory to Madrid

3:49 Comment From wazza

its falcao power

3:49 Comment From arun11fcnairfalco yea ? what a player


atletico made some good signings this summer in falcao,diego and arda turan

3:50 ESPNSTAR.com:

Do any of you think Falcao would have been a success in the Premier League?


I was really bamboozled that Athletico Madrid bought Falcao for 50 Million.

3:50 Comment From vaibhav

i think turan is the most underrated playmaker!!!!!

3:50 Comment From advait@pranit yes, but they've also lost forlan and aguero


@espnstar:yes he would have been a perfect signing for someone like arsenal or spurs


30/37


so has malaga,baptista is an excellent player alongside cazorla


CR will be the top scorer . Messi second top scorer . Mesi with the most assists andMessi with the European player of the year 4 season running

3:51 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Pranit: Why do you say so?

3:51 Comment From Arzian

Yes.. Falcao will be a great player if he join utd...


@espnstar NO! Falcao is a poacher. Poachers have not been that successful

as compared to the other strikers.


Yes, Falcao could have been a success at PL. I bet AVB might regret not

signing him, probably on current form Falcao is far better than "Open goal

miss" Torres.

3:51 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Arzian: Even with Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez, Berbatov and Owen in the team?

3:51 ESPNSTAR.com:

Do we have any Serie A fans here?

3:52 ESPNSTAR.com:

We have around 10 minutes left and want to give everyone a chance!


Napoli FTW!


31/37


THE OLD LADY IS BACK!!!


Napoli have been great


yes......napoli is the team to beat for me.....hamsik,what a player he is!!!!!!


@espnstar :can juventus will serie A this season???wat do u think???

3:52 ESPNSTAR.com:

Who do you think will win the Serie A?


Edison Cavani. The find of the season in Europe!!


MILAN

3:53 Comment From ahmad

what is wrong with AC Milan?


forza milan all the way this season again

3:53 Comment From oh yeahAC milan!


napoli......cavani lavezzi hamsik and the determination will win the league


32/37


Its btw napoli and juve. this might be the reemergence of juve as an euro

powerhouse

3:54 ESPNSTAR.com:@ahmad: They've made too many changes in a season. They lost the string that ties

the team together like Pirlo, and brought in more 'individuals' like Nocerino and

Cassano.


JUVENTUS

3:54 ESPNSTAR.com:

From a neutral's perspective - it's great to see former giant Juve back in contention.


Turin!


AS Roma is now looking good....with Bojan and Osvaldo in the attack

3:54 Comment From ArzianRoma


i think the title will again be between juve,ac and inter, just like old times.


I doubt Inter Milan's credentials. 5 managers in 2 years It's gonna be a tight

one between Juve and AC MIlan.


Juventus just taught inter a lesson.. inter is struggling very badly


33/37


I think if AC Milan kept on performing like they did against Juventus. Then

its Napolis time to win the Sceudato.

3:55 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Nikhil: What do you think is wrong with Inter Milan?


milan need some legs in the midfield........boateng is just not the answer.......he cant

control the game...


time for jive to roar..


@ESPNSTAR.com:What about Inter??Are they finished after exits of Mourinho and

Eto'o


@espnstar Yes! It was sad to see how match-fixing ruined the Serie-A with

Fiorentina and Juventus bearing the brunt!


well they sack coaches after 5 games dats the problem...


Apparently last Inter coach though Sneijder was not good enough to play at

Inter. I think he needs to see a psychiatrist now.


inter milan will be ok.....the 3-4-3 was killing them......the new manager will bring

stability to the team......


i think inter should cahnger their formation first...3 defenders at the back is not


34/37

working at all and they are leaking goals for fun

3:56 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Rohan, they do seem to be struggling. Maybe things can change with Ranieri at the

helm. In attack, there shouldn't be a problem. Pazzini, Forlan and Zarate are allestablished players who can make an impact on the scoresheet!

3:56 Comment From Arnav

Problem with inter is tooo old. Only shenider and silva good enough..


well inter was all about jose.. once he left its all going downhill


i think they'l b all right now under ranieri

3:57 Comment From Anonymous

Hello espnstar! You guys are doing an AMAZING job of managing the hectic sports

schedules, keep it up :) dont you all agree?

3:57 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Rohan: I think nobody can repeat what Mourinho did at Inter


Zarate is not gud enough..


@espnstar: what do you think of de rossi situation at roma?will he leave next

summer?

3:57 Comment From UN-19

ZARATE IS SO GOOD!!!!!

3:58 ESPNSTAR.com:

@Pranit, De Rossi has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to the club, as long as the right

deal can be negotiated. It would be nice to see more one-club players, they seem to be


35/37

a dying breed.


de rossi shouldbe sold to chelsea....they love def mids!!!!


@espn inter were lucky to win champions league !!


@espnstar: thanks :)

3:59 ESPNSTAR.com:

@ No problem


@vaibhav:de rossi to Chelsea??? Are you joking?

3:59 Comment From Owais

i think tevez shud b punished for his actions. he is a disgrace to football..


i remember zarate for his birmigham days :p

4:00 ESPNSTAR.com:
