This is the worst part of fantasy sports. I have two Yankees on my baseball team, and it kills me to hope they do well.

Yar, I'm in!

Lerner Looking to Sell Villa?

Good idea

It's probable that the new scouts know him from the Dutch league...if they think he's good enough, and he comes at the right price, I say sign him up. Depth in numbers has been an issue for too long. Even if he rides the bench, at least we'll have an insurance policy for when the inevitable injuries spring up.

Seeing as Lerner sold the Browns...maybe this can simply be called "The NFL"....

Yankees are a baseball team.. I know. Thought we were just comparing to American Football teams Got it. Yeah, the similarities between the Yankees and Man U are many. The Yankees "NY" cap is known and worn around the world, and the Man U jersey is as well. In fact, the two clubs have a merchandise agreement whereby each club gets to sell their gear in each other's team shop. Each club probably has the most fans who aren't from Manchester and greater NYC...tons of trophies as well, obviously. And well hated by multitudes!

The TV and merchandise revenue is off the charts...plus, much of the revenue is pooled, so even though the Cowboys might sell 100 times more team gear nationally, the Browns get a % of Cowboys gear sales, and Giants gear sales, etc. Combine that with no threat of relegation and a relatively new stadium, it's a sure thing from a buyers perspective, and probably why the club sold for that much money.

Very hard to make a comparison...maybe the Detroit Lions. Traditional team, industrial city, haven't won much in a long time...

Yankees are a baseball team.. I know.

We could certainly do with a midfield destroyer type player. I would be slightly disappointed if KEA was used in that role, I dont think thats his game, he likes to dictate play. Has more to his game and we shouldnt stop him from doing that. Lambert: "Karim is someone I have been aware of for a while. I think he will be great for us. He is a very, very good footballer. "I don't think he's a set player in terms of defensive or offensive. He can do most things and could do both roles if I asked him to do that. "Certainly I won't curtail him and will let him play with freedom because I think that is the way he plays. He is a very good player. "I think your eye as a manager tells you what a player is like in terms of their good habits and bad habits as well as how well they can move the ball. "I think he can move the ball well and, at 27-years-old, he's an experienced player who has played international football. "FREEDOM"

Manchester United are most like the NY Yankees. I hate to say it but Chelsea are closer to the Patriots. (Didn't accomplish much for most of their history until recently)

20 more paragraphs before you rival Levi Ramsey for verbosity.

Yep. Maybe we can rename the "Browns and the NFL" section just "The NFL" section...

I'd love De Jong in the team. We need a complete hammerhead out there scaring the opposition. Villa have had a soft reputation for too long.

You'd think otherwise if he was your mayor :cry:

I shudder to think what I'd do if I had to call someone using someone else's phone....I don't think I know anyone's number by heart anymore :oops:

...not to mention Stiliyan Petrov's improving condition, the best news of all!

A former platonic girlfriend who I had a falling out with about 10 years ago emailed me a few days ago, wanting to get together. I didn't respond, cuz it's all history to me now. She emailed me again today saying she "found out" where I work and plans on visiting me there...(bar). **** off

Who cares, it's all irrelevant now! COME ON VILLA!!!!

I just don't agree that you "have no idea why" and "it is not possible that" are identical phrases. I really have no idea what you're getting at. I'm scratching my head at that one too... :?

Lerner is getting some grief from Browns fans for selling at the start of training camp...they wanted him to sell, he sold, and they still hate him

He'll be fine, even if we struggle early. Yet again, our first match is away to a promoted side...a difficult match for any visiting team. I really hope RL splashes the cash on a good striker...it's a must.

"The Two Escobars" is on ESPN2 right now.....Must. Resist....

This would not surprise me, with Lerner flush with cash and wanting to repair his damaged relationship with Villa supporters, ST holders most importantly...
