Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

[Vladamir]

Windows only just opened and we've already signed another attacking midfielder

Traore?

 

[caLLous]

Yeah but that wasn't a surprise (was it?), you basically bought him in pre-season I thought after he did a trial with you.

 

[eksdee]

Yeah, he played the majority of our pre-season games.

Lots of talk going around about us buying Diego Costa. Good age, been playing really well, right kind of game to do well in the PL. Would rather him than Falcao considering the difference in pricetag and the baggage that comes with Falcao.

 

[Vladamir]

I'd rather muddle on through so that Lukaku has the assurances he will be the first choice next season, bringing in a fourth striker surely muddys the waters that little bit more?

 

[eksdee]

Well Eto'o is off at the end of the season, then wouldn't be surprised at all if one or both of Ba and Torres go. I do agree with you on Lukaku being first choice though, hadn't really thought of that side of it.

 

[Vladamir]

Having fucked up with Sturridge (whether or not there was some behind the scenes reasons he was allowed to go easily too remains to be seen), we would be foolish to shell out on another striker when we have a proven goalscorer ready to go from next season.

 

[Himse]

Mata is playing!

 

[Himse]

What the fuck Jose? You take Mata off after 50 minutes of pretty much playing out of his skin.

I'm just so lost, no wonder Mata looks pissed off. He'll be gone in January.

 

[Embattle]

Oh dear Oscar.

 

[eksdee]

I never understand why players do that, just fucking shoot for christ's sake!

 

[caLLous]

Fernando Torres scores the first goal by a Chelsea striker away from home in 13 months

Blimey, I didn't know it was that bad. Lucky that you're stacked in midfield.

 

[eksdee]

Yeah. Unreal! That goal he scored at Sunderland was a beaut' as well. He's looked alright today, definitely putting in a shift but he had two opportunities through on goal in the first half that he shanked - same old problems.

 

[caLLous]

Willian's bloody good as well. He was awesome against lollerlol.

*grumble*

 

[eksdee]

Loooovely work from Oscar and great finish from Willian, Mourinho will be feeling smug... well, more smug.

 

[eksdee]

Willian's bloody good as well. He was awesome against lollerlol.

*grumble*

He hates Tottenham, he hates Tottenham...

 

[Aoami]

Christ

 

[Himse]

Jose pls

Bentnerd has only gone and scored again

 

[eksdee]

Someone go man mode and put him in their fantasy team.

Unfortunately whilst Oscar, Willian and Hazard continue to do the business Mata is going to be a squad player at best

 

[caLLous]

Sounds like he might've been injured so what would've been a very risky call might be a downright foolish one.

 

[Himse]

He's gone in January, no doubt in my mind tbh.

 

[soze]

Mata and £10m for Rooney is still doing the rounds.

We really need an Ozil level striker. Today was too close and Giroud has looked fucking knackered lately and while I like Plod he is a squad player at best.

 

[Vladamir]

That's the only way I'd see him go as player plus cash for someone, else he is still a great player to be able to call on when we get into the depths of CL knockout stages, FA Cup games and so on.

 

[Olgaline]

He's gone in January, no doubt in my mind tbh.

With Arsenals current situation, I very very highly dout that.

Looking forward to watching the Tot-Man.U game. Interrested to see if the Tottenham squad can deliver under pressure in a match that really matters post AVB.

 

[megadave]

I thought we looked much better after Oscar and willian came on, the energery they bring is awesome. We have a strange collection of Brazilians, they all love tackling.

 

[CorNokZ]

Bendtner 4 Prez

 

[Olgaline]

Oh dear lenon

 

[Aoami]

United such filthy diving scum
