Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

I am a bit disappointed with Arsenal so far another season where we have made a transfer profit and seem to be relying on players returning for injury to not get injured again. Still time though so lets hope we still have a superstar transfer waiting to be announced.

 

[caLLous]

Lloris is at the Lodge.

Edgar Davids and Bournemouth! Not quite. The Cherries haveactually completed the signing of midfielder Lorenzo Davids, cousin of Champions League winner Edgar. The 25-year-old, a free agent after his release by German side Augsburg, has agreed a two-year deal.

I might have to keep an eye on Augsburg now after the FM challenge...

Moutinho on a flight to London.

Please let be true k.

 

[soze]

One of these years we will sign a monster player on dead line day

 

[megadave]

Do Tottenham still have Friedel, Gomes and Cudicini ?

Do Tottenham still have Friedel, Gomes and Cudicini ?

Yes. But due to the fact that we arent allowed to play them all at once we do need a new keeper

More or less every year that has happened.

Building for the future!

Liverpool in for Benayoun.

Moutinho deal being held up due to disagreement on personal terms. Has stalled for now.

You could stack their bodies between the goalposts and concede at least half as many goals as last season!

Benayoun? Seriously? Not a bad player but it's another one from the bargain basement for Liverpool. Next thing they will be doing buy 1 get 2 free offers!

 

[soze]

It has been reported long before the summer that Liverpool have no money. Selling Adam was the only way they could buy Dempsey according to some. But if they are in for Yosi it looks like Fulham will not accept £5m.

 

[megadave]

why the fuck did we ever sign benayoun?

 

[Sydrik]

Essien maybe on the way to the Arse on a season long loan

I took over Chelsea in my football manager game and was surprised to see him still kicking about in the reserves. Got rid of him on the cheap.

 

[CorNokZ]

How does Chelsea fans feel about the match tonight? I can see it being a really great match

 

[megadave]

Bit of a glorified friendly imo, should be fun, especially falcao

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Keep up, I broke this news about 24 hours ago

To me it'll be a good test to see what must be changed for the Champ league.

 

[megadave]

Apparently its unfounded, no idea what we'd gain from that transfer but then we gained nothing from loaning you benayoun either

Christian Purslow said we were "scraping the bottom of the barrell" with our new owners.

"Doing it the right way" means "no fucking cash".

Sao Paulo striker Luis Fabiano has admitted deliberately getting himself booked in the second half of Thursday night’s game, and earning an automatic suspension for a third yellow card, in order to avoid the trip to Salvador for a match against Bahia.
“When I want to receive a yellow card, nobody gives me one, and when I don’t want one, they rain down on me,” the former Sevilla striker told reporters.
“I wanted to sit out the Bahia game. It’s a long journey and I’ve just come back from injury, I wanted to prepare myself for the sequence of games we have coming up.”
I suppose we should commend his honesty, although in Europe, similar cases have resulted in an extended suspension. Such a fate seems unlikely to befall Fabiano, not least because it came with the approval of his coach, Ney Franco.
“I asked him to force the yellow card. He took a long time to take a throw-in and the rule is clear, he has to be booked,” said the coach.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Bahahahaha

Typical Gooner. Still celebrating old achievements.....

 

[Aoami]

Southampton are in for Benayoun as well, would definitely take him at St. Marys. Also, Nigel Adkins was on the blower to Del Piero yesterday but he elected to go to Australia. Gaston Ramirez deal close apparently.

 

[Litmus]

How old must Del piero be now?45?

 

[Vladamir]

Seriously confused as to why we have been linked with a load of strikers today whilst looking to loan out Sturridge.

 

[Vladamir]

Diarra's left Madrid for Anzhi Makachuckalukalukawaka

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Athletico Madrid making Chelsea's defence look as weak as we all know it can be and it's only 7 minutes in.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Falcao is RINSING Chelsea
