Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

£13m is worth more than £13m and Berba tbh.

 

[caLLous]

I think I want to see Berba in an Arsenal shirt as much as our resident Arsenal fans do tbh.

I still think he has the potential to be an absolute magician, it just never happened for him at Utd (to the degree that everybody thought it would). Maybe we should have him back!

 

[Cerb]

Berba +20 mill for Modric?

 

[caLLous]

We'll take Berba for a tenner and a Curly Wurly.

RVP is after £195k a week, only the two Manchester Clubs appear to pay this much. I'm surprised that Chel$ki do not have JT or Lampard on this much.

 

[caLLous]

Adebayor is trying to turn us into a club that pays that much.

 

[soze]

Yeah I don't know why you are paying that. He is not worth that much and as he has proven previously he will sign that contract and then stop trying for you. I believe it will be a poor move.

 

[caLLous]

I don't think it's a good idea either. Like you say he has shown a few times with previous clubs that he will work his socks off (which he has done only a few times for us) and then just sort of peter out. We desperately need to do something up front, we have Defoe atm and he didn't have a great season and looks to be on the way out. Hulk please.

bringing in all the names... writings on the wall already

 

[Gray]

Looks like you can start making your squads now for the Fantasy League stuff.

 

[Ch3tan]

So, modric refusing to train and angling for a move to a team overloaded with creative midfielders. Makes no sense.

 

[Ormorof]

if he and his agent can get a big fee out of the move then he can sit there for a year before going to AC Milan or Inter Milan for another big fee... and then the carousel continues

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Tottenham's new third kit:

Ahahahahahahah OMG that's hilariously awful, one of the worst kits I've *ever* seen.

 

[eksdee]

Almost as bad as the Liverpool third kit.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

It's so much worse.

 

[gohan]

Liverpool are currently 6th in the league, let's hope we can keep that kind of form going

 

[Raven]

Highest you will be all season. Enjoy it

 

[Wazzerphuk]

A lot of links and rumours going around that we're in for Cazorla.

 

[eksdee]

Would be a great signing, but with Gervinho and Walcott already at the club where is going to play? My understanding is he is primarily a right winger? I think he can play centrally as well though.

 

[megadave]

Watched our game last night, lukaku looked like a right lump. Kakuta is also useless and will surely be shipped. Marin and piazon looked good though, and hazard, obviously.

Big season coming up for mikel, he's looked great as part of that double pivot since rdm came along.

 

[Vladamir]

Hopefully Lukaku will end up going on loan somewhere for the season, would much prefer Torres and Sturridge playing down the middle right now.

 

[eksdee]

Yeah, felt exactly the same about the game vs PSG. Piazon looked great when he came on and his goal was really nicely worked. Kakuta just looked dog, he's never convinced and I just don't think he's good enough - especially not with all the new players we have who play in a similar position.

Great to see Ray Mears back in the team - where do you think he's going to play this year? I'm assuming it will be two out of three of Ray Mears, Mikel and Lamps in the holding two, but Ray also played well on the right of the front three last year. With that said, with so many players who could play anywhere across that three now (Mata, Hazard, Marin, De Bruyne, Piazon, potentially Oscar), I'm guessing he'll be played in a more reserved role. I just hope he isn't marginalised by the signings we've made as he was definitely one our best performers last season.

Was nice to see Hutch playing.

God bless you Eric, you gloriously mad bastard! Legend is often a word mis-used but not in your case!

 

[Raven]

Looks like Spain is going down the pan hard. No more propping up of Barca/Real?

Time for the debt to cripple them.

 

[Turamber]

Lies, Marc will have a whip round.

Everton need it more and he has abandoned them!

 

[Everz]

Guediora gone.

Stale I fucking hope you know what you are doing.. keeping Danger Dave over Gued is one of the worst decisions I have ever witnessed by a Wolves manager.
