What a free kick from him. Everything else from Liverpool has been dire.

Last season he was good enough for some to call for him to start over Courtois. He had some poor performances at the end of the season, but at the beginning, he was very good and helped keep the horrible run of matches from being worse.

Liverpool look absolutely rubbish

Ozil, Mertesacker, Koscielny, and Giroud are all injured...already But I think this Arsenal XI is just as capable of beating Liverpool.

With all of the football going on, I didn't feel like there was much of an off season...until this morning. Nothing beats the Premier League.

From a purely footballing perspective, this transfer is crazy. I doubt that one player can make enough difference to justify that price. However, it's not only about what's on the pitch. Pogba was Juventus's marquee player. He brought interest from people who wouldn't otherwise care about Italian football. He'll be one of the marquee players in Manchester, getting back some of the interest that was lost when Ferguson retired. Football isn't just about whats on the pitch anymore. He brings the flash, the highlights, the celebrity and the youth that few can. Kante may be a better fit for us, and I'm glad for that, because I'm firmly a chelsea supporter, but Pogba has the ability to bring interest that very few other players can.

I think most would prefer that, but at least there's a silver lining in the fact that the club made a profit on him (but really, what's 5m in today's market)

The number didn't just change on the website. There's actual shirts on display in the store

The official Adidas store in Paris was selling Dybala #10 Juventus shirts. Seems like a good indication Pogba is leaving.

I love the matches with Arsenal and Tottenham. I make fun of them, but in all honesty, there's only a couple of players on each team that I don't like. The only club I really hate is Liverpool. I can't stand the supporters, most of the players, usually their manager, and I can't stand the media wankfest that happens every time the club is mentioned. A lot of my disdain for teams comes from specific players, so I may not like a club now, but once the player moves on, I'm ok with them.

I just don't get the love for Martinez. He managed a team that was promoted from League One, escaped relegation a few seasons with Wigan and did nothing with Everton.

Not only are these shirts ugly, they're shit as well.

Like they edged toward Stones last summer?

The United States isn't a warzone. The players are perfectly safe doing whatever they want.

Gotta love this club

I like Inter's new away from Nike. It would be nice with a Chelsea badge on it.

WTF are you on?

I didn't read it the same way

Oh, FFS. The ESPN commentator first calls Bats RLC, now he keeps calling him Chalobah

Boring is different from lazy. I personally never call a kit boring, as I tend to like simple, classy looking kits. However, it's lazy to keep the same template and just swap the colors when Adidas has how many combinations available? This for one or the brand's highest shirt sellers in its last season.

So they just take the home strip, flip the colors and take away the lions? Talk about being lazy

I like it, for a non-traditional style. Interesting that there's no stripes on the shorts.

Very convenient that it's just 3 months under the cutoff for serving jail time.

I didn't say I knew what formation he's using. I'm saying that's the one of the only ways selling Hazard makes some sort of sense

Trying to find a way that this would make sense (as it really doesn't). I can only see one way: The formation Conte wants to employ has no room for Hazard in it. If he needs his wings to play as attacking wingers AND defensive wingers, Hazard doesn't fit the bill. If he wants to play with 2 strikers, Hazard doesn't quite fit the bill. Still, Hazard is too good of a talent to just ship off.
