Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

Schurrle to Chelsea almost a done deal according to the Guardian, not sure I see the logic in signing another wide player with what we have but perhaps he'll play through the middle and Torres will get shipped out.

Chelsea is getting stocker with amazingly talented wingers/wingforwards/attacking midfielders or whatever you wanna call them.
The sad thing is none of them (except Hazard I guess) will get as much playing time as they deserve. I can understand as a footballer you wanna play for a club like Chelsea, but considering the situation why would you want to sign for them?

Looks like Suarez will be off one way or another. While I like him and think he is amazingly good I does not have to be bad. Suarez takes a lot of chances with dribbles and extraordinary shots, thus losing possesion. Maybe there would be a better fit for a Brendan team with a more possesion based forward?

Missed more clear cut chances (20) than any other player in the Bundesliga this season, whilst he scored only 7.

Perfect replacement for Torres!

I'd honestly rather recall De bruyne and play him. Hopefully this loan deal doesn't annoy him too much since dortmund wanted him, and eventually he'll come and actually play for us. He's actually had a better season an Schurrle for a worse team and is more versatile.

30m + Torres offer for Cavani.

I don't see why we can't have De Bruyne back over paying 20m Schurrle.

Suarez confirms he wants to leave Liverpool. No surprise.

 

[eksdee]

Rejoice. Off you fuck Raticate.

Liverpool fans, the gift that keeps on giving.

Someone bought the third kit?!

Real Madrid had their final match today at 5pm and Barcelona had their's at 7pm. The rest of the teams in the league will all play their final match tomorrow at 9pm

That league is such a fucking joke

 

[Raven]

It's ok. It will be buried when they have to start paying tax.

 

[Calaen]

Weirdly large sections of the Real fans were chanting for Jose. I guess some admired how he tried to do things.

SkyBet have suspended betting on Julio Cesar joining Arsenal.

Quite surprised by that one. Not exactly one-for-the-future.

good keeper though

Mourinho to Chelsea announcement tomorrow then

 

[Hawkwind]

Would be a good catch getting Cesar although Goal Keepers shouldn't be very high up the priority list IMHO. Sort the defense and a decent striker wouldn't go amiss. AW needs to look a bit further afield than the French league.

The EPL blunder was hilarious.

"Sort out the defence"?

What's wrong with it exactly?

Second best defensive record in the league last season. Best defensive away team in the league.

Stop being lazy and actually watch us play. We need a DM, ST(or two) and a DC (3rd/4th choice). And a GK since Fabianski will be leaving most probably. In the last year we've only bought one first teamer from France, Giroud.

So yeah, talking out your arse.

 

[megadave]

Cesar had a really mixed season I thought, sometimes he looked amazing but sometimes he looked atrocious.

 

[Aoami]

Yup. If it does happen, he wont be a starter at Arsenal. I reckon just competition to try and knock chesney hawkes up a notch.

 

[CorNokZ]

Valencia missing out on CL next season.. Gutted

 

[megadave]

time to poach their best players ;D

Fuck off!

 

[Embattle]

Surely we have a better right back than glen?

 

[Aoami]

This UKIP bandwagon really is gaining traction. This is whitest England side i've ever seen.

 

[Moriath]

walcott is crappy

 

[Aoami]

England is crappy
