If it wasn't for Champion's league, I think we would have agreed on your 15 millions euros bid. But again, you have to keep in mind that our manager ( Luciano D'Onofrio ) knows just about everybody in the world of football ( he used to be the agent of Zidane, Henry, Deschamps, ... ), and he...

Those quotes are months old ( from february or something ), at the time we were'nt sure of Champions' league football. I guess he has changed his mind since then. If it wasn't for Champion's league, we would have find it normal that he'd leave this summer, but now.... no, I don't even wanna...

Aha I knew somebody would tell me that. The club is Standard, but the city is still Liege, so he did bring the title back to the city of Liege, geographically speaking. And I think he would love to play with Felli once again, not to mention it would be great for our national team.

I'm not the manager, but I wouldn't consider a bid under 23 millions euros. Again, he probably isn't worth that much , but we just can't afford to lose him this very year ( champion's league )

And BTW, he's better than Moutinho.

Hi guys. First of all, we ( Standard fans ) would be very grateful if you'd call us 'Standard' intead of 'Liege', as 'Liege' usually refers to Liege FC, our local arch-ennemy. It's like we'd be calling you 'Liverpool', ain't pleasant, is it? We 're Standard as in Bayern (Munich) and Juventus...

Nice striker, very quick, technique ok, could do well at Everton. 8M is a bit too much though. Scored a fantastic goal for Standard Liege years ago : YouTube - Standard Tchité

He's not good enough for Premier League football. Not in a million years.

I can tell you that there will be a lot of tears in Liège when Defour will leave us. We absolutely love him. He represents perfectly what we call the "Standard spirit" : rebellious, irreverent, team-spirited, gives everything in every match... and a hell of a player! The heartbeat of the team...

OK, so where do I begin? First of all, you have to keep in mind that, despite being historically one of the top 3 belgian sides, we hadn't won a single league title since 1983. We were close to bankrupcy when a new management team bought the club in 1997. For some years, the management line...

Don't pay attention to what Milan says. He's totally crazy, one day he says white, the day after he says black. His interviews are always a lot of fun. Previous summer he said he would quit football if he was still playing for Standard this year, and now he says he wouldn't mind staying until...

I reckon Moyes has read my thread:lol:

Yep, Standard like a flag. Originally it was supposed to be "Etendard" ( french name for flag, from old french estendard ,from which the english standard originated ), but the students who created the club wanted to make it sound english, so they went for Standard. So it's actually a noun, not...

I barely know Rodwell, so I really can't comment. My analysis from the original post come from a 4-4-2 perspective. That's how we played at Standard* and it suited Marouane very well. I'm sure he could settle just fine in a 3-5-2 or a 4-5-1, but I like 4-4-2 best ( personnal opinion that is )...

Off course Iniesta and Pirlo are too expensive for pretty much anyone, but there certainly are players with the same profile who could be affordable by Everton. Defour is one of them. He's gonna leave at the end of the season for sure, and since your management seems to like to give big money...
