The MLS is actually interesting now*. I had no idea Giovinco ended up there, and just now i saw LA Galaxy are signing Gio dos Santos... *for the novelty factor at least

"win the league and next season you'll get a spiffing photoshoot!"

because he was a naughty boy on social media

i seem to be great at shitting on talent, though i doubt there's any of that in this kids bones so he needn't grab toilet roll, so; tell me what he ever actually showed that made any comparison to any top Brazillian player a viable one? was it that 1 freekick he banged in on loan, the shot that went through the net at youth level for his country or his scuffed goal for us in an almost double-figure thrashing that did it? wait, no, it was the hair. he was the next Kaka because of his fucking hair

Moses love is fun. He is good, He was one of our better players during our domestic dogshite season. I think he shone in the EL. but where would this leave Traore?

that was a bit of an optimistic thought

u were right m8

Right and De Bruyne & Sturridge are Chelsea rejects. How exactly is being rejected by 1 club a measure of your value?

City truly are run horribly if Sterling is going to make £70k+ more per week than Silva. DEAR OH DEAR.

skillz to pay the grillz

It's just by chance that more of his goals have come from his right foot. He defines ambidextrous.

I like players who keep their head down and just do the work. Aranguiz & Pedro are exactly that type. If we get both we're going to be very interesting. Though i would find it odd, with Mourinho in charge, to sign 2 players both under 5'8

I hate the word "replacement". I hate English media. I highly doubt Jordy Clasie, standing at an imposing 5 ft 6, is going to 'replace' Schneiderlin in the XI. Is he even a defensive midfielder? I know he's been deployed there, but so have Fabregas and Lampard.

he's really quite average and i feel like a cunt for being the only person with that opinion. look up brainfart in the dictionary and you find Andreas. what happened to Davey. Davey is better.

poppers on the collar are stupid. a minority of weirdos like myself have a phobia of round things near the neck that can tighten what you're wearing or press it against your throat and its a legit disorder lol, if any of our players share it they'll be fucked

That was one of the most cringe-worthy moments in our history; seeing how many people couldn't pronounce his name. Az-Pil-A-Cuet-A. They made it seem so hard but all they had to do was break up the word.

damn right i want a player who can't finish, acts a dick & offers little defensively on £100k+ a week. Jose sign him up! He has English blood!!!!!!

What's special about him is he doesn't have to be a regular to put in a world class performance. Only top calibre players can do that *cough*

I thought he was the best player in the final

really, £1m more than Cuadrado

Mainly Atletico since he'd be an instant upgrade & Juve. Buffon can't play forever and he'd step right in as #1 in 2 or so seasons, maybe even 1. Man United if De Gea leaves (If i were him i'd wait for that case to become clear then wait for them to bit, which they would, surely.) All 3 teams have the potential to go far in the CL next season, and all could use Begovic more than us I believe. Despite these limited options he's chosen to go to a club where the current player in his position is basically certain to be playing week in week out for 10+ years. Why would you do that?

If I didn't support this club i'd be slandering Begovic for joining us lol. I mean really, he does obviously have the ability to be the #1 keeper for a lot of teams in the CL if only they needed him.

"let's sue the player who ensured we got European football next season"

BlueLyon has explained Arda better than I could. What I meant though when saying he's a Chelsea type player is the fact that while he's a flashy player with flair and plays further up the pitch, he's still a bulldog and will fuck you up if you try something cheeky on him / his teammate. When I think of atypical Chelsea players I think of players who will headbutt you in the face (Ivanovic, Ballack, Drogba, Costa), and I don't think any other player in Turan's position has this passion / personality / headbutting skills. It gives a team a cutting edge, sometimes, when the players are simply aggressive. That edge cuts both ways, though. There's being aggressive but staying on the pitch like Costa and then there's being aggressive and getting sent off most of the time like Frimpong. Turan falls into the former category.
