Hue.

 

[Corran]

Interesting thing is the only player not at the team now is Evra. (minus the bench of course).

 

[Ch3tan]

Confidence, the team just don't have it currently.

 

[megadave]

We might actually be getting rid of Torres, most exciting transfer news in years!

And what will that leave you with in regards strikers? Won't you be a bit lacking?

 

[Billargh]

Especially since Costa is supposed to be injured, on top of him being injury prone at the best of times anyway.

 

[Raven]

Wages will get in the way. Unless he takes a cut but it seems he is happy to sit on the bench for a living. (who wouldn't for 150k a week)

The problem is we are always lacking even with him on the pitch.

 

[caLLous]

Your midfield more than makes up for a temporary striker shortage, especially with Fabregas. I think you'll get by.

 

[Billargh]

Villa are signing Cleverly for £8m apparently.

How does it feel @Turamber ?

 

[Ch3tan]

Think he'd be good for them tbh, about the right level for him as a player whose lost confidence.

 

[Ch3tan]

[Raven]

Heh, and people said Liverpool would have too many games this season.

 

[Ch3tan]

I'd expect them to qualify, even if it is in 2nd place. You really think they won't beat Basel and Razgrad?

 

[Raven]

There's that satire tag requirement again.

 

[Billargh]

I think we may as well assume absolutely everything you post is satire from this point.

 

[Vladamir]

Schurrle can fill in as a number 9, failing that Patrick Bamford might get a game

 

[Job]

Rooney...fucking Rooney as the England captain...how bad can it be..how utterly berift of characters are we that the Scouse Neanderthal is found to be suitable for the role...anyone who even bothers to look up from comparing the shine on their fingernails to view England in 2018 should have their season tickets confiscated...the farce continues with hodgepot in charge..it would be bad enough if they were doing it for free..but these fuckers sctually want millions

 

[Embattle]

What is it with ITV trying to do the half time chat on the fucking pitch

 

[Raven]

Cant afford a box.

 

[Vladamir]

Esteban Cambiasso to Leicester, baller signing!

 

[CorNokZ]

Massive signing! Always liked him and his play style. Lol'd hard when Maradona didn't pick him for the last wc after he won everything with Inter

 

[Billargh]

His eyes look too big for his head in that photo. I loved the guy in FUT 12 or 13 mind.

 

[Job]

I drive past Goodison and Anfield quite a lot..Goodison always has a grandad wreath outside and Anfield is plonked in the shit arsed dumphole of Liverpool..its freakin embarrasing that visitors get off the bus in a bomb site of boarded up terraced houses and smackheads wobbling outside bookies...all those millions and not a single penny spent on even giving the street a lick of paint..sums it up to me.

 

[Raven]

Aren't the smackheads refusing to sell up and or move one of the stumbling blocks for Liverpool renovating the area?

 

[Turamber]

Villa are signing Cleverly for £8m apparently.

How does it feel @Turamber ?

Overpriced, but he should be better than what we have in that position. Mind you I think there are other areas to strengthen, three shots on target in three games is not a healthy number.

 

[Turamber]

Confidence, the team just don't have it currently.

And a playing formation that's not from the 1980's.
