Just pull your baseball cap over your eyes

Toure playing as he did with man city, 1-1

[Dave42]

1-1 what a error by Toure

[denphone]

He is a clumclot pure and simple.

[colin25]

That did sum up toure's play, a defender should never pass across the front of the goal, but he has done that often

Never heard of a clumclot, but I can guess meaning

That's what happens when you have no strength in depth.

It may even help stop the relatively new practise of the rich clubs buying up players who will rarely, if ever, get to play first team football. Anyone remember Jack Rodwell? Scott Sinclair?

Personally I would like to see FFP work alongside other changes such as a European wage cap and better division of wealth amongst the leagues (like the PL does).

Anyway FFP only stops the little guy if you think the little guy is a club that has recently got a billionaire owner who is ready to buy world class players. It helps the clubs that want to grow organically.

Help Southampton and Everton do what, both are having their best seasons for decades and will achieve nothing at the end if the season, people don't remember second place let alone sixth.

It's up to the player if they want to sit in the reserves on bumper contracts, rodwell and Sinclair were already on good money so there was no need for them to go, bet no guarantees of first team football were given to them.

What chance have the.little club got otherwise, champions league money has squewed things significantly meaning clubs don't grow organically, they stagnate and become feeder clubs.

Wage caps will only work if it's worldwide.
