Seems Tim Cahill is off to the NY Redbulls... Bit of an odd one

I've never rated him. He played like a limited forward, he was a terrible midfielder, but he had the knack of popping up and getting a goal, even though if he could pass, they probably wouldn't have needed that goal in the first place. Probably should have played up front more IMO, his poor passing in 'the hole' often hindered the likes of Arteta and Pienaar IMO.

Luiz Suarez isn't a racist. Liverpool should have appealed because he didn't even say anything racist. He's NOT a racist. RACE and IST. Suarez is not one of these RACE ISTS.

Thank you for your stellar contribution.

As a blue this is a good move all round. He's past his best, but could still do a job at a lower level. Nice to see him get a decent last payday and a chance for him and his family to and live in the US.

Fairly limited, but very effective in what he did do on the pitch. By all accounts a thoroughly nice bloke as well.

Good luck to him, i know he goes with the best wishes of all Evertonians

Lucas Moura's agent has said his client won't be going to United. Still think United should go for a M'Vila type centre mid, a destroyer. Vidal would be perfect but I can't see him leaving Juve. Tiote as well wouldn't be a bad choice.

I wouldn't disagree too much with that, though 'a terrible midfielder' is a bit harsh....There are certainly a lot worse in the Premier League.

The truth is, whenever the goals dried up, he was exposed as being a bit of a passenger....Technically, he was limited, but he always gave 100%, which is always appreciated by supporters.

From what I have read, it is the agent spouting as he being cut out of negotiations between the two clubs.

Passes count more than goals now?

You'll be top of the 'possession table' next year.. to go along with that 'table since Christmas 2011' and 'best strike rate of a foreigner in their first season' shiz...
