I think Bale can do good wherever really, just not 100 million-good. But Tottenham will be a force to count with if they hold on to him, and no matter how good Wenger is, he needs reinforcements. They will always be a top-4 threat no matter what though..

Right now, I'd say Chelsea and City are the two teams that stand out. United got the winning mentality in their squad, but individually I don't know if they're good enough, especially at midfield. With Ferguson gone, I see them pretty much equally to Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool assuming they got at least a somehow decent replacement for Downing (ie: not worse than SD). I might even go so far as to say that Tottenham is perhaps the better of them.

Still plenty of time for players to come and go though..

^ i agreee on Chelsea and City standing out
Man Utd & Moyes will really have to show and prove themselves
If somehow Spurs keep bale i see them besting Pool and the Gunners.

dunno whats up with bale? i think R.Madrid are still negotiating or something?
wonder if FIFA will really enforce that club expenditure rule

im surprised Arsenal arn't jumping on that Anzhi exodus
Etoo,Traore, Lass Diarra and Willan?

Etoo is rumored to go to chelsea
Wilian has said Liverpool shown interest & bid ?

2 weeks left before the window closes
i think the last 2 days there will be some serious movements!

Apology accepted, Luis.
...Brendan Rodgers for Manager of the season.

Wilian has said Liverpool shown interest & bid ?

Hope this one goes through. Need a winger.

Coutinho great again :mynigga:

[chiba]

arsenal flopped today but then again the ref kinda gave villa the game on those calls

Sturridge, Coutihno and Hendo will be key to Liverpool success this season
suarez as well..... if he decides to show up & play.

[GhettoGnom]

^Hendo showed his importance yesterday. Never stops running. Having a keeper like Mignolet and the defence that we've now built can also prove to be essential.



^^Great faith in this guy, now let's get Moses and maybe even another winger for the icing.. Anxiously looking forward to a closed transfer window.

Is that Flavor Flav?

Well Bale finally at Madrid for 100million Euros. I think its fucking ridiculous, Madrid are just insane.

Ozil to Arsenal huge signing Madrid are nuts to let him go.

Real Madrid are just plain fucking stupid. How the people in Spain let them get away with such spending when its well known the government give them handouts.

[chiba]

I have to admit ozil to arsenal was a shock!
if anything i thought man Utd would get Ozil.
Madrid need the cash so they are just giving players away to pay off Bale.

Fellaini to utd

and im happy to see kaka back at milan !
i hope he shines there !

surprised Kagawa didnt go back to BvB.
i know he hasnt seen first team action and is frustrated.

[GhettoGnom]

Özil easily the signing of the summer, but Arsenal is still weak defensively.

Surprised by Chelsea, Eto inn and Lukaku out is not a good deal.

Manchester City is favorites for the title to me, then it's up to United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea & Spurs to battle it out for the next three spots. A lot of business will probably be done in january as well.

Is that Flavor Flav?

Haha, that's Mamadou Sakho.

[chiba]

^ I feel Arsenal could've done more in the transfer market, getting ozil is really something
after a couple of players gave arsenal the could shoulder. Next window hopefully wenger
steps his game up.

We will have to see what Eto can bring to Chelsea.

Liverpool is one to watch, they are coming back like a hungry wounded dog.
They are shaping up to be top contenders.

[chiba]

Anybody up on the footy games?!

PORTUGAL VS SWEDEN
UKRAINE VS FRANCE
GREECE VS ROMANIA

[Rame]

Î hope Iceland makes it. Don't care about the rest.

[GhettoGnom]

Holy fuck.
