70-odd views on a topic is nothing. When Torres signed, the site crashed because over 900 people were reading the same topic.

I know we are not linked with him, but considering he is available on a free transfer, I thought it would be prudent to discuss him in this topic. He had a very good game against the Italians last night - he'd definitely be a good signing for any Premier League team. Even us. Be interesting to see where he moves this summer.

Whole of the Italian midfield played poorly yesterday, Pirlo and DdR included. They had no answer to Japan's creativity - I cannot believe Honda is available on a free. He'd be perfect at a club like Arsenal or Spurs.

^ totally agreed. Yes. there were a lot of matches, but for games like the wins at Old Trafford, the Emirates, Villa Park and White Hart Lane, the 8-0 over Villa, the 6-1 over Nordsjaelland, the 5-1 at Leeds, the 5-4 over United, etc., you'd have thought there would be extended highlights at least!

Done! Good luck with your research.

PLEASE DO NOT POST THE FULL FIXTURE LIST AS IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DO SO.

De Rossi would be three times cheaper, and is three times better.

Answer one - no Answer two - who said I hated Cavani?

^ exactly, Wigan did it under Martinez and got relegated for it.

That's incredibly harsh; some absolutely magnificent crossers in the Premier League, such as Baines, Kolarov, Bale, Pilkington (very under-rated player in my opinion, brilliant from set-plays) for instance. Agreed that the amount of true crossers has declined though. Football is about the through-ball nowadays!

^ August, or very late July is my bet. Usually between July 25th and August the 8th we get our third kit released.

^ I'm putting money on our new number 11 to score the winner! Lightning always strikes twice in football.

You will need to purchase a CFC membership and buy tickets on the official website.

The reports I read were he would be banned for our first two FA Cup matches, as cup bans are traded for cup bans, if you will.

What, so we're ONLY allowed to talk about Isco in this thread? Meaning we can't compare him to other players, or discuss where he would fit into our team? Yeah, good one.

I wouldn't put too much stock in fixture lists. We have to play everyone home and away, just like all the other teams in the division.

Dafuq is this in Chelsea transfer talk?

I refuse to get drawn into this bollocks. All just pure speculation, the more people put stock in these twattish, trolling Twitter tossers the more disappointed they'll be when he fucks off to City and puts three past us in one game

Very fair, once again. My concern with Sturridge is his rapid disillusionment. Okay, yes he's a bit of a cunt, but Gallas played at left-back without objection. Essien never complained about playing right-back, centre-back, centre-mid. Sturridge always wanted to be our centre-forward, but when he was on the pitch he tried almost too hard, often over-looking the simple things. Let us not forget that last season, with Drogba, Anelka and Kalou all having left and Lukaku on his way to West Brom, it meant we only had Torres and Sturridge as our options for the centre forward position. It just so happens both di Matteo and Benitez favoured Fernando - and when you think how mediocre his season was, that, for me, says quite a bit about Sturridge's temperament. I think he has the chance to prove people wrong by playing regularly at Liverpool, but I don't think he's suddenly going to turn into the next Thierry Henry. I believe we let him go because we felt we had other options who were far more effective than he was for us, hence why we allowed him to leave. Sturridge has made an excellent move for his career as Liverpool are currently at "his level" - if he'd have gone to a team like Arsenal, United or City, I don't think he'd be in their team. That, to me, suggests he isn't quite top four material, hence our allowing him to leave. He has a far, far wiser head on his shoulders than Kakuta though. Kakuta has all the ability but none of the temperament. Which is a shame, considering what we risked to sign him. He's wasted here and he needs to return to France and rebuild his career, from the bottom up. I don't think he'll do any better than play for a top-eight side in France such as Lille or St. Etienne.

Liverpool at home first game, please! We haven't fucked the Bindippers over in too long!

I don't think FFP will affect us. We operate at a profit with a relatively healthy turnover. As long as we spend less than what we earn, we're fine, essentially. Meaning we can't afford much more than £70 million in transfers this summer.

^ I like those kits Mainly because they were different. I'm fed up of all the boring black kits that look the same. We haven't had an exciting away shirt in years.

If Eden and Oscar were to somehow create a child, it would definitely look like Thorgan. I'm sure they're all related.

FUCKING DECK HIM COLEY, FLOOR THE CUNT! Oh, nothing happened?

No, that is an opinion.
