Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

A lot of teams seem to be counting on RM needing to sell a load of players after the Bale deal - I'm not so sure tbh.

 

[caLLous]

Maybe we should put the brakes on with the Bale deal to fuck with Arsenal a bit...

Independent journalist Sam Wallace: Reliably informed that Gareth Southgate is to be appointed by the FA as new England Under-21s coach.

Really, he's the best they can do?

It's not what you know...

FA man, keep it the same!

Spurs ask Arsenal about Lukas Podolski transfer

lolwat

 

[Raven]

Probably just trolling them.

 

[eksdee]

Andre Villas Trollas

 

[caLLous]

Seriously though, Podolski wants to go and Schalke want him. I'm not sure this is the direction of the activity that Wenger had in mind.

And lovely solo goal from Townsend!

 

[georgie]

So Anelka's left West Brom after one game then.

Also, lol Ladbrokes:

His brother/agent has reportedly died so he's been given compassionate leave by WBA. Snarky comments are being retracted by journalists across the land.

Southgate is a fantastic candidate, he did more in a year than brooking and co did in 10.

He oversaw the shrinking of pitches to match the European setup.

Delighted for him, hes got the passion and the desire ti succeed!

Nice work scousers!

OK Tbilisi were gash but goddamn we looked good for the better part of that match.

That [tackle] was later than an Arsenal shopping spree.

We could field a team of freddyshouse users for the 2nd leg we are so far ahead

I can't see Dinamo bothering to send their first team either.

 

[caLLous]

Looks like Chelsea have come in for Willian. What the motherfuck? Your midfield isn't strong enough already? It's that shitstain of an agent (he's not even a fucking agent) Joorabchian trying to get some extra fees most likely.

 

[Ch3tan]

Where did you read that cal?

SSN really goes to shit during the transfer window and Joorabchian is notorious for screwing clubs around to eek out higher fees. This is the only source of this "news", everywhere else is echoing it from SSN so maybe the shitstain agent "leaked" a story to them to try and get Spurs to pay more or something.

The reaction from Chelsea fans is amusing, they want this to happen even less than we do.

[Aoami]

maybe maureen wants shot of mata

 

[Raven]

Oh, "Sky sources" Dave down the goose and ferret then.

 

[caLLous]

Words escape me. If that's the case though, you can have him. Everybody and his mother thought he was pricey at €35m.

And SSN have deleted the tweet from yesterday saying Willian had agreed a 5 year deal with us... very strange.

And a matter of hours ago from the same source:

Update @willianborges88: deal done between #anzhi and @SpursOfficial. €35M to be paid in two years. Today, the brazilian will sign contract

 

[eksdee]

It's lunacy if we sign him tbfh. I wouldn't be surprised if Aoami is right and Mata is off... would be ridiculous but nothing surprises me anymore.

 

[caLLous]

There's a guy (an ITK if you will, althought I dislike the term) who calls himself POTL (Phantom of the Lane), who is *so* spot on with stuff like this that people think he works somewhere in the inner sanctum (some people actually think it's Levy). He called the Paulinho, Soldado and Capoue transfers hours before they were official and didn't say anything about Villa and Benteke so he is very widely respected in these sorts of things.

Anyway, he's just called SSN muppets and to disregard everything they're saying about this.

 

[Cerb]

We'll bite your hand off for Mata + some fee for Rooney hopefully.

If I was Moyes I'd fucking offer Rooney Plus 15 mill for Mata!

 

[Ch3tan]

Three up for Swansea in 25 mins... easy

 

[Vladamir]

I'm wondering WTF Mata would've done or not done to not be in Jose's plans after 2 years as our best player.

 

[caLLous]

He was voted your best player last season wasn't he?
