Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v2

[Bugzee]

Well we lost out to Nasri last season and all that stupid Sneijder talk annoyed nearly every United fan for two years. To make it worse for us, Hazard recently joined Chelski so for a long long long time we've been in search for a decent attacking midfielder. I actually do blame fergie in part for this but we've finally made a good purchase with Kagawa.

I'm confident he'll do well in the PL. Will he become a regular on the team!? I do not know as of yet. All I know now is we finally have ONE new fresh option on the bench in games that really matter cough CL cough.

 

[FrostyMouse]

I think Kagawa has a chance to be great and 17 million isn't a bad price at all.

The important part is that it looks like we are finally getting Di Matteo as our manager. Finally it looks we'll be rid of people like the Special One. I quite liked Carlo Ancelotti, but I understood exactly why Roman fired him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18390166

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Yes, di Matteo seems a good choice for Chelsea. He was the one who managed to won two trofies and after Mou there were noone who actually managed to won these many for Chelsea.
The thing about Mou is we can like or not like him as a person, but he is a damn talented couch as he managed to win tons of trofies with different teams in different countries.

Where's Kashy!? I wanna make fun of him. Liverpool will apparently play like Barcelona next season.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Can't wait to see Kagwagagawagwawawa playing for United next season! We seriously need to get a few more midfielders. :/

You do know Liverpool used to play a passing game in the 70s and 80s right?
But yeah, unless we get some midfielders and strikers, I don't see it working. I've been waiting a long time for Liverpool to buy Honda, but it seems they have forgotten about him.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I actually Liverpool will buy some good midfielders like Honda. He is rather talented and might be the one to become a good addition to the current team and with a new coach who has a fresh ideas it might make Liverpool a team that will fight for Chmapions League Zone or maybe even for the medals in the upcoming season.
I also hope Arsenal will show more guts in the upcoming season as I really miss the way they played in their brilliant season, when they managed to get something like 30 wins and 8 draws in Premier League and win the tournament.

No comments on the sacking of Harry Redknapp as Spurs manager?

 

[kakashi919]

Not really a sacking since he's the one that didn't agree to the contract terms. Oh well, not sure how Tottenham players will react to this....to me he was the only reason most of them even stayed at the club. I have no idea who can even replace him right now.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I see Harry Rednapp as the basis and the foundation of all Totenham got in the last years in Premiere League and Europe (Champions and Europe League), so it won't be asy to replace and several key players can really leave the club now.

 

[FrostyMouse]

I saw it while I was watching the Italy vs Croatia match, iirc. I thought that this was the last straw for Spurs as Modric and VDV will definitely leave now. I don't care what happens to Bale, but the other two will be interesting.

To be honest, I'm just amused by whatever happens with Spurs and how they manage to fail/screw up one way or another. Food poisoning, anyone? :P

 

[kakashi919]

What Arsenal need isn't a goal keeper, Shezney(however you spell it ) is a great keeper... what they need is better midfield and possibly two more natural defenders and a couple of strikers. If you gonna play a passing game, get good and experienced midfielders. As for City, I still think they are missing something important from that team, dunno what it is, but something is missing.

70s and 80s huh!? You lovin' the old tapes hey!?

Honda would actually be a good signing for you guys. Really good player to fill the role just behind the main striker imo. Given Liverpool's heritage, tradition and fans...it just wouldn't work and I doubt they would chase him now.

Liverpool's gone through a weird phase these past couple of years. They need a long serving manager to calm shit down. They need to give this new manager some fricking time. I was happy to hear that he intends to keep Joe Cole and give him a chance next season. I think he'll do well for you guys. =)

It's painful times at Spurs. Chelski winning the CL, ultimately, paved way for Rednapp's exit imho. The board had enough patience and I generally think Rednapp is happy leaving. It'll be even more interesting now to see what becomes of the squad before the new season kicks in. They seriously have a great team in particular in the midfield department. It would be torture for any spurs fan to see Modric, Parker and Vaart leave. It took them so many seasons to get those kind of players in. In all honesty, what they've been lacking for the past two seasons is a solid, consistent goal scoring machine in front of the midfield. They need a Suarez of their own.




Utd should get Parker and Modric.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Actually the one who picked all the players was Rednapp. Still I don't mind him leaving as I'm not Spurs fan, but it should be interesting to see what they will show in the upcoming season, especially as it seems that the majority of the players will stay. About strikers... well, they've had great strikers: Defoe, Keane, Adebayor, but they don't show their best this season, still I believe they can manage to get some good striker. The most important for now is not to loose what they already have. Still it might happen that some big club would buy Bale. If he quits - that will be a big miss for Spurs, but maybe a way for Bale to grow.

 

[xi0]

The rumors surrounding Bale and Barcelona are coming around obviously. More recently it looks like ManU might be going after both Modric and Bale.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

It seems that Modric goes in Madrid. Well, I don't know if it's good or bad for him as there are tons of great midfielders in Real, but still we might see some more variety in Madrid's games in Champions and La Liga.

Don't know about Bale as there were tons of rumors from Madrid to Barca and ManU to Chelsea and ManCity.

 

[Bugzee]

Argh man that sucks if it does lead to a done deal. Madrid have enough quality midfielders. Make use of bloody kaka before buying anymore playmakers hmpf. United are screwed. I was really hoping that Modric or another very good midfielder (besides Kagawa) comes to us before the start of the season. Fecking ferguson needs to hurry up this summer.

 

[kakashi919]

Pfft Madrid will never be the same without Raul!!!

I'm yet to see any important signings by Liverpool, which is a bit frightening. I really hope they try for Honda, that will be the best signing of the summer imo. In other news, Juventus have finally brought back Giovincco. I hope they didn't bring him back to use him for transfer business and actually give him a chance to play.

 

[Imperium]

There is nothing like laughing at Phil Brown to make your day better.




I can see his convoluted thinking though. Homo = Home + Phobic = No...Actually I cant. Enjoy.

 

[xi0]

LOL...I said the same thing on facebook

 

[goldb]

How have the english press responded to his blunder? They're sure to have a field day with this
