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

Also, wtf at Moyes chasing Fabregas down the rabbit hole all summer when he just could have picked up Ozil

Who's your English team LBI? I thought it was Arsenal but recently it reads like you're a Utd fan?

Ozil to arse makes no sense whatsoever but pleased to have him in the league tbh.

It's always been Arsenal and Utd, which seemed to be possible for a foreigner. But it's been Utd for some years now. The missus family being Utd helped in that respect. And RVP sealed the deal. I have great sympathy for Arsenal, but it's Utd. Even though they are shite atm.

Or something, that's what's so great about it: it doesn't make sense, but it's great nonetheless.

heh, I just checked the 'confirm our biases' thread, you didn't need to out yourself

What thread is that?

the one where you're a gooner

Haha!

England: The Ongoing Utopia that is Arsenal. Team that comes closest to being a Mark Rothko or Barnett Newman painting, in it's effort to become one flowing organism of euphoric and zen-like perfection, yet somehow always manage to end up like a Pollock, or worse, Francis Bacon. In theory the best club ever, but it never materializes. There aim of how to play football unrealistically high given their quality, but I without any sarcasm I praise them for dreaming on and keep trying every year.

And I still stand by every word of that! I just got tired of the tantrism and just wanted an orgasm already ffs

what i take from yesterday: drinking still problematic, Man City and Chelsea got fuck all to worry about.

True. Third might be up for grabs though. And I'm a bit worried about Chelsea strolling away with this and ruining what should be an exciting season.

stop worrying about it so

citeh by some distance the second best team in the country

at least, tbh, i can see how spurs can only improve. utd might well struggle to stay in the top 10 this year tho.

admitting that carrick is and always has been a nothing punter is the new recognising that carrick is a brilliant player youse fucking idiots

liverpool, like spurs, havent really impressed me yet despite playing p limited teams. but they do look a better outfit than last year.

arsenal are very bad indeed, flaky and unsure of themselves and giving it away for fun. koscielny looks likely to see a lot of red and penalty concessions this year.

City haven't even played well in two out of their three games so far.

that's true, but why people think that they won't settle in and start playing well god only knows. obv Pellegrini shd've had this more or less rebuilt team at peak efficiency from day 1.

It's all wide open so far, no one looks uber-convincing. Usually you can rely on at least one team to come screaming out of the blocks but that's not really happening.

How many 1-0 victories have there been so far?

Two in at Liverpool already this morning. Did Moses confirm already? Take the fax machine off the hook and the rest of the day off imo.

And I dunno why Liverpool have been getting mentioned with Utd and Arsenal as having a bad window, it looks like good business to me.

Also Navas aside, Pellegrini has been mostly starting with Mancini's team up until now. I agree they'll click but their defence looks pretty dodgy without Kompany in it.

liverpool's one-nils have been far more convincing than spurs'

oh wait what thread is this ffs

benny, ade, jd, carroll, tea lady, bibs, pens, old bale shirts just chuck it all in a minivan and send it off to loftus rd today cheers

adebayor rumour is ludicrous but does make for an intriguing quandry i guess, like you have a ten yard race do you go for a seaside donkey or frankel on tranquilisers

franquilisers cmon that's basic stuff man

ekotto up front imo

im just gonna say this, ok

after 60 mins of paulinho and dembele and capoue yesterday, i ached for thudd

ached for him

There's speculation that United are going to gazump Arsenal for Ozil.

a good old fashioned gazumping is the only thing that can save this transfer window now

I'd' be surprised if arsenal didn't get gazumped tbh

They may as well gazump themselves

BenSmithBBC: I am told #MUFC definitely NOT in for Mesut Özil. Working hard on deals for Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. #DeadlineDay

we won't get Ozil because #doomed

utd might well struggle to stay in the top 10 this year tho.

lol come on

Hi ey how r u

U will have been familiar with my work, of course

C'mon evil boy wizard, you don't wanna stay and fight for your place

Oh right he's waiting for a bigger team

Fellaini it is then. Huzzah

Graham Hunter ‏@BumperGraham 2h

@seanbell2461 Utd won't pay €36m at moment. I'm sure Ath B won't negotiate ... so no go, sadly

Mark Ogden ‏@MOgdenTelegraph 2m
Man Utd and Man City both offered, and rejected, the chance to sign Mesut Ozil a month ago, so don't expect a U-turn today

that was before james mccarthy fell through for utd tho

Why would anyone reject Özil? I don't get football.

do you think moyes even knows about kagawa like

i love the hypocrisy of everton's outrage about moyes poaching fellaini/baines as they bid for james mccarthy

this craic of 'outrage at a bid for one of our saleable assets' has to stop full stop.

can you imagine if idk tesco behaved like this

"madam it clearly says that these rice krispie knockoffs may have settled during transit, with this outrageous attempt to purchase them you have clearly unsettled them again"

"all the lilies in produce have had their heads turned"

"this frozen chicken's head's not in the right place"

"these Lego sets are not for sale, we're trying to build something here"

"no refunds after 30 days on paulinho"

dear fellow Wolves fans, Sako and Doyle are not worth half of what we're paying them, which is why they'll probly still be with us tomorrow, so chill, stfu and enjoy the Jackett renaissance you cunts

John Cross at the Mirror believes Ozil has agreed a deal at Arsenal. More to follow I'm sure.

Utd didn't value him at 40 mill apparently. Rolling my mfing eyes. Then phoning Amnesty International to sort out the Kagawa thing.

Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri

ARSENAL'S BID FOR OZIL HAS BEEN OUTBID BY PSG 2 MINUTES AGO!

today is like my christmas tbh
