Slam Dunk

Anyone know why Kane, Bamford and Saville have flown home?

He was also on a Spurs forum for a bit posting fantasy lineups in their 'Oscar' thread. Safe to say they didn't appreciate his posts. NB: I was merely gauging Spurs fans opinions on Oscar potentially joining Chelsea. I can assure you all that I showered immediately after.

Based on what I saw last night (unfortunately this is my only reference to his game, I don't watch much Brazilian football) - He is someone that we were crying out for last year, a player that keeps the play ticking over. He seems very tidy/efficient with the ball when deep, but also looks like he could be more dangerous in a more advanced position (he only had one shot however). For a slight 20 year old, he also seems very combative and willing to help out with the midfield battle. Brazil's 4-4-3 system suited him very well I must say. He wasn't the star of the show last night by any means, but he did his job and he did it well.

So he's had the medical, but hasn't signed? Don't buy that for a second.

Ah, our old friend Harry Harris

Warm up game for the Olympics.

The only good thing about Arsenal was this guy. Fact.

Have you been living under a rock?

Yeah, alright.

Newcastle make an enquiry to take Carroll on a season-long loan from Liverpool. Hahaha.

Yeah, right.

Good chance to test a few possible partnerships, this game - Just to see if there are any good understandings already (like Torres & Mata). Hazard-Lukaku De Bruyne-Hazard De Bruyne-Lukaku Hazard-Kakuta McEachran or Ramires in the midfield 2 Combinations of Luiz/Ivanovic/Cahill (Just realised that out of the current travelling party, we have no orthodox left-back, and only 2 strikers, one of whom has never played for the senior team - Looks like Lukaku will get his chance to prove himself)

Let's hope he doesn't continue with the snippy comments. You're better than that, Andre.

I should add he later deleted the tweet, claiming it to be 'sarcastic'. Pathetic behaviour.

Classy Rio, real classy.

Don't see us being interested in Ganso to be honest - we don't need him. If Milan do indeed sell Silva/Ibrahimovic they'd be able to fund a move for him i'd imagine.

Newcastle:

CL winners arm patch looks awesome:

These fantasy formations being posted in every single transfer thread are becoming extremely tedious. RE: Oscar - I still don't believe this deal is as far along as some seem to think. Frankly, I don't see a need for him at all anyway. You can't buy every talented player that comes onto the market.

Just seen this as well. Best pic ever?

Another #10? Total football anyone?

Is there such a thing as a 'wrong' opinion? If you can justify your reasoning, then the opinion is valid, surely? This is my last post on the matter.
