"We've momentum and we can't afford to lose it tbh"- The '13-'14 summer transfer window thread for PL and beyond

All pace. When he lost a yard he was found out.

not for liveprool iirc!

pace and complete lethality tbfttl

but yeah ok not extravagantly talented, but if that's all then sure add luis garcia and harry kewell in!

Citation needed re kewell.

Dunphy et al

Fellini to Utd looks like it might be achievable

a

I've come to terms with it

squad number 8 1/2 obv

we actually don't a No. 9 at the moment weirdly enough. RVP turned it down

la dullche vita

la culchie vita if Rooney stays

or if dmac takes the no.8 1/2 shirt, which I'm led to believe he would grace

United inevitably settling for Fellaini with the weary pragmatism of a plain bride in a Victorian novel.

red devils is belgium national team

oh, which he helpfully points out

A Macclesfield fan became the club's first 'Pay to Play' guest in the club's friendly against Stoke City on Saturday.
James Gorfin, 40, paid £10,000 to do what most football fans dream of - spending a week as a member of the team's squad, being put through sprint drills, shooting practice, short-sided matches, before making a substitute appearance against the Potters.
"I think everyone reckons they could do better when they're watching a game," he tells the Macclesfield Express. "You think you'd have loads of time on the ball but it's not as easy as that. It's pretty mental how quick the game is, and I did get smashed by one of the Stoke lads when I got one of my passes away."

£10k's a bit steep but lop a zero off and that's starting to get towards value territory imo

I think my wife would Shawx me before any of the Stoke lads got near me if I spent £10k to pretend to play football.

If Michael Owen was all pace then why isn't Theo Walcott better at football?

ps suarez otm

I know if Arsenal sign him he'll fuck us over too, but I think it's all part of a clever plan where Arsenal fans are made to wait forever for a big signing to the point they'll take anything because they don't care anymore. Still wish they'd got Higuain tho

it's kind of heartbreaking and also a bit embarrassing the way he's been backed to the hilt over the past couple of years despite clearly being a cunt for all to see

bingo

You'd think he'd be a bit more grateful really, all things considered. It's probably why no better club than Arsenal seems interested in him.

Heh. It is a bit surprising that atm it's Arsenal and no-one else.

if bale goes........ i mean, either flank, soldado, width, isnt it OOOOH

xp it's surprising that in 2011 it was Liverpool and no-one else, when I put it like that

many have shopped in the Eredivisie and lived to regret it. Plus the biting etc.

tbf that was just a one-off

looks more like contract talks with arry and schteve

twitter says Spurs have signed Capoue...

Might have been the only position we didn't need to strengthen. He's good value at 10m Euro.

idk about that, paulinho means less reliance on sandro but it was still sizeable esp for someone coming back off long term injury

i guess that means parker and thudd will be sold?

idk at 433 its more reshaping a squad to reflect cover needs

i'm assuming avb will use holtby and sigurdsson more in the midfield 3 than the forward 3, so he has a rotation of capoue, dembele, holtby, paulinho, sandro, sigurdsson. can't really see parker and thudd getting much time.

Holtby in the front three imo

If PSV defend their 2-0 lead tonight, we will draw either Zenit, AC Milan, Arsenal, Schalke or Lyon.

We still need a CL thread.. Will start one after Fridays draw

capoué was playing cb last time i saw toulouse

Have you got a title yet, dammit?

No :'-(

theyll probably buy a fast recovery cb like if not actually vladdy c and capoué will be 4th choice cb until kaboul returns

One Liverpool player will be on dis ting: Champions League 2013/14

no dogs, no irish, no spurs

anyone who watches a lot of ligue 1 got an opinion on Capoue?

Ok, we cruised past Zulte Waregem w 0-3.

Not sure what team I hope we draw. Arsenal and Lyon for the ILX massive. Though of the five, Lyon might actually be the least strong, too?

Where are the Frenchies anyway?
