True story....my wife looked over my shoulder as I was reading the BBC report on the weekends games. She asked my why I had suddenly taken an interest in womens football. "Huh?" I thought to myself then realized she was looking at a photo of Torres!!!!!! She was being serious too. He didn't do to well this week after 'resting' him did he? yuk yuk.
As for Adu...."didn't get a chance" come on.....teams don't spend money on transfer fees and salaries so they don't have to give them a chance. They expect production for the ungodly amounts of money players make these days. My opinion is he is just not strong enough for the more physical yourapeein game. On the bright side he did get to live in Monaco for a while. If he's not up to it, he's not up to it so send him back to the MLS if it's not too late for him. Admittedly I'm not an expert on amuurcan players in Europe but from the ones I know I think the player who made the transition from MLS to the premiership the best is McBride at Fulham. Goalies excepted of course because you doodles produce some great goalies.
Finally.....am I the only one seriously concerned about Uniteds defense. (okay, that question is for smackie, the rest of you are probably loving it) Same players who were as solid as a Mt. Rushmore now look very spongey, and it's not an age thing, they're still relatively young for fullbacks. Also, Berbatov actually looked like he gave a crap the other night v Wolfsburg. I have a bad feeling he's going to be Uniteds Esa Tikkanen (spelling?) remember him? He played like crap for the Caps all season then when the playoffs came around he became the franchise player? Ronaldo was the opposite...looked great against average teams then invisible when playing top teams or in big games. That's why I didn't think we'd miss him........much, and we aren't really are we?
