Admittedly I saw the game on and off, Athletico looked to be pretty even to me. Second half I missed most of, so I cant really say how the game went. | ||

I expect to see him rather often in play, but IDK if that is a good thing... When I think about it, Mourinho loves him... Maybe he will even be in the starting 11 (god forbid). | ||

Also nice to see Berbatov getting to play some football again, after wasting away on the United bench. The man's to good to just sit and watch. | ||

As the Guardian put it: Lass "Lassana Diarra" has left Real Madrid to fulfill his childhood dream of playing for Anzhi Makhachkala | ||

Lloris, 25, has signed a four-year deal after joining from Lyon for a fee that could reach £11.8m. Lloris is like what, 5th best keeper in the world? £12m? Come on. | ||

Lloris is one of the best in the world no doubt, but not top 5 (I would say top 10 definitely). IMO top 5 would be Casillas, Neuer, Buffon, Hart, Cech. €15m (£12m) doesn't seem too bad of a deal for him really. GKs don't go for as much as other positions since you only really need 1 starting, 1 backup, and 1 backup for that backup. According to wiki, the most expensive GK of all time is Buffon who transferred from Parma to Juventus for €54.2m (£33m). Second most expensive is Neuer who cost Bayern €24m (£19m) just last summer. Third is De Gea to United for €22m (£18m) also last summer. Lloris going for €15m (£12m) will make him the 5th most expensive keeper of all time. | ||

The demand for them is just so low in comparison to other positions mainly because 1 decent GK is all you really need to have the position covered... Edit: It's even more sad in international competition where plenty of good keepers get overshadowed by superior teammates and get almost no playtime despite being able to get multiple call ups. Valdes/Reina (Spain), Sirigu/De Sanctis (Italy), Weise/ter Stegen (Germany), Mandanda (France), etc. | ||

Some of the Guardian's football coverage is hilarious. A couple of seasons ago they referred to West Ham simply as 'Scott Parker' for a while. | ||

On September 01 2012 20:25 sharkie wrote: yeah goalkeepers are so undervalued, kinda sad. It's basically all about how many other clubs in any one specific transfer window will want the player. If they are a marquee player, they will require wages befitting a starter, which means any club that already has a starter will not want to buy them in that season. Coupled with the fact that only a few clubs have the cash willing to pay the wages a top player will demand, you only have a small selection of clubs or maybe only one club at any one time that will want the big name keeper. Teams getting great keepers is often about luck - who is available at the time when you are able and willing to buy. | ||
