Bosnian Blue

Sometimes yes, but that doesn't mean you can stop him. But I didnt mean that, I don't like one-footed players and Messi is one. Maradona was one. Mata is one. Robben also cuts in all the time, defenders know it, yet they can't stop him.

Yeah well Robben is predictable too, but he is unstoppable at times. Schürrle reminds me of him sometimes. I don't really like those kinds of players (hence why I don't rate Messi as the best ever), but lets see how he does. I like the attitude and commitment hes showing already.

Schürrle seems very predictable, cutting inside on his right foot almost every time. He will find it very difficult to get into the starting 11 over Hazard, at least not on the left flank. On the other hand, I liked Van Ginkel. This guy will surprise many, but the only potential problem for him could be the physicality of the Premier League. We'll see how he handles that. Wallace looked promising. Find him a good club to be loaned to and the lad could shine.

Just don't go over 30M.

Boring. The pitch was terrible, as always in Asia. Lamps got injured in the warm-up. Wallace was the boss.

Its up to him now, we've shown we want him.

Just another story to keep us amused in the next few days.

Better having too many of them, than not having them at all like we did all those years before Mata and the rest came in.

DM saying Josh tweaked his groin and Jose won't play him because of that.

Surprised nobody mentioned:

He's absolutely right but it has nothing to do with the FSW, he's talking about what our ambitions should be.

2:04 Iva giving his welcome to Van Ginkel.

Well we can now rule out Chris Cohen as a reliable source. Cavani - very good player, not worth the money. But I don't realize why they went for him with Zlatan doing some incredible things already. Hes off now probably.

My word, that doesn't look very good.

Well thats interesting. Somehow I always thought Obafemi Martins was 35 when he started making his name in football, hes probably 52 now. Welcome to TC. This Bruma kid (or is he a geezer ) has potential probably, but I also think it would have been better for him if he stayed at Sporting for another year or two.

I love these experience vs youth pics.. Keep em coming

When asked what he got his wife for her birthday, Zlatan said: "Nothing. She already has Zlatan." On being marked by then Liverpool defender Stephan Henchoz:" “First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog.”

Actually his tweet reads: Monday we'll have news about Bruma and Chelsea will make a move for Mangala.

Heart issues are not something to screw around with. If there is anything to it, then stop playing football straight away. There are more important things in life.

Top player and a top man.

Real shame he hasn't started the pre-season from day 1 under Mourinho. Fucking Confederations cup.

Which position does he play ?

Erm, Ron Jeremy has bought Fulham ? At least they probably won't be the most boring team in the league now.

Well you won't see Platini complaining about it. To think people say 20 mil for Rooney is too much.
