I heard he's joining the Brazil senior squad for the friendly. He probably won't even be on the bench for the Wigan game. Who schedules a friendly 3 days before season starts, and why call up Oscar, dude just finished a tournament. So stupid.

Hannover's second goal, that backheel off a cross was awesome. Rooney dived in a friendly to get a pen lol. But, United's attack looks the bizness tbh.

lol what a stupid statement

Dammnnnn, shoulda scored the equalizer, very bad miss. Brazil were horrible though, over dribbling all the time thinking they are way better than Mexico.

Yeah he is, but the pivot is wayyyy too deep. Hazard - Oscar - Mata Hazard has played LW for a long time and Mata has played RW numerous times as well. Marin and Moses will be backup wingers. Malouda as a defensive winger. Thorgan won't be close to the first team for another 2-3 years, possibly never, not sure why people bring him up. Kakuta has no future at Chelsea either, and even if he does, he's more suited in the hole and not as a winger.

Oscar to me seems exactly like a more developed McEachran. Like exactly the same, except maybe McEachran isn't as aware as Oscar defensively.

It wasn't 18M. 12M + performance add-ons.

Haha, good times! I know what you mean, my heart rate was probably 200 for the entire second leg, but one thing we have to realize now that Barca are our bitches. We've done it against them enough times now. LOL! we won UCL!!

Odemwingie played on the wings a lot last year, and he probably will this year too.

Barca are officially our bitches! No Chelsea fan will ever be scared of that team, and we're the only fans that can afford to do that. We might loose against City but I think we're decent enough to avoid a thrashing.

Very happy for him. Hope he performs well, I'm sure he will. West Brom is a great team too, so if he can get a lot of playing time, he'll be playing for a proper mid-table side and under a good coach as well. He's gotta take this opportunity and make the most of it, and I'm sure he will, he has the right attitude.

Last year's rules mate.

Cech Ivan - Luiz - Terry - Cole Mikel - Lampard Sturridge - Hazard - Ramires Torres Or Ramires - Sturridge - Hazard Me likey Sturridge as second striker a lot.

They all still post on their previous team's forums.

Yeah I like him as second striker, that would be his best position. You are correct, his movement in the box is excellent.

They're here for Meireles, not to sell Cavani.

I was afraid of this. Marin is a very injury prone player. Hopefully it's nothing and comes back before season starts.

Def a good pickup for Liverpool. They lacked a proper poacher/finisher alongside Suarez.

That kit looks so sweeet. Wish it didn't have those horrible lines in the abdomen area, it would be perfect without them.

Meireles looks like he's wearing a kit one size too big for him, even his shorts are so baggy. Don't judge on that picture.

More Brazilian players, more Brazilian fans. Welcome sir! Oscar is an intelligent player and sounds like a smart dude as well. He'll do good!

Wigan would be great. They play good football and surely they can't find a replacement for Moses at this point, Lukaku would make sense for both.

It doesn't matter when he was signed. Transfer fees can be either accounted in lump sum or amortized over the duration of the contract. Obviously we can't recognize anything in lump sum considering how much we spent on transfers, so we have to amortize everything. Hence we didn't play 50M for Torres, rather 10M each year for the duration of his contract. We've had him for 1.5 years, so we've only paid 15M for him so far. If we sell him now, for let's say 15M it means we have to recognize a loss of 35M-15M = 20M in THIS year. As opposed to a 10M transfer spend per year for the remaining 3.5 years. Sure, the next year we'll be 10M better off, but considering how much we've spent this year I don't think we can take that 20M hit. And of course that will also mean buying more strikers, just not feasible.
