Has Sturridge been training?

 

[Gareth Bale]

That Avdijaj kid that bundesfaces on twitter have been talking about looks good

 

[LAM09]

I just looked it up. They won twice, drew once (beat Juve on pens), and lost twice.

I thought that was probably the case.

 

[KidA Seven]

This is Benteke's season to show that he wasn't a bit of a flash-in-the-pan. Let him do it at Villa, rather than blowing £22m+ on him in faith. Plus he's still injured I think.

He had a couple of good little runs last season, but from what I saw he was dismal in the main. Obviously the entire team was struggling to create chances and control games, but he wasn't helping imo

Didn't he have an achilles injury? That isn't the best injury to recover from.

 

[Scum]

Haha seriously no more than 30 seconds after he came on he lost his man and Schalke score. Unreal pre-seasons from him and Dawson.

It's been unreal. I always wondered if MoPo will have the chance to spot anything dodgy that will unearth itself about the squad thoughout pre season and he has. The two of them have been terrible, even if it is only friendlies.
We're doomed if I see them anywhere near any lineups this season. D:

The Fryers-double fall gif says it all. Wish I could find a working version of it

[Salvadora]

Especially since it looks like Villa will be in a relegation battle too.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I want a red panda

 

[Ushojax]

Fryers is so fucking bad, as soon as they saw him come on literally everyone around me at WHL said 'they're going to score now'. It took about 10 seconds for it to happen.

Other than that we played well, created a lot of chances and Lloris didn't make a save until 75 minutes. Still got a lot of players not back yet.

Yeah pretty much every line up from MoPo has been experimental so far and it seems to have worked as Fryers, Dawson & Naughton have all been replaced, even if they haven't been sold yet.

Eric Dier looked really solid for a 20 year old today btw, natural defender and composed on the ball. Looks a great bit of business for only £4 million.

Naughton, Dawson and Fryers have to go.

You can keep Johnson and have Naughton too.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Studgemeister D trained today according to RAWK

Think we should risk him against Dortmund if he's fit. He's missed enough of our preseason as it is

 

[Lightning]

Wish Vermaelen all the best. Top pro, really disappointed it didn't work out and we needed to sell. Great man.

What a time to be inside with some Rachel's gooseberry yogurt and a bowl of fruit

 

[Linius]

Pellol OG I read. Everything still okay or did he smash the stadium to pieces?

 

[LAM09]

Zenit didn't do bad today. LOL!

 

[Zabojnik]

looks like Wolfsburg are trying to sign Destro

Obligatory:

 

[Mr.Marston]

@Arsenal
We can confirm that @T_Vermaelen05 has agreed to join @FCBarcelona http://arsn.al/P8vExm #GoodLuckThomas

Good luck to him, I think we've done very well here though.

That grass is way too long

 

[LAM09]

That grass is way too long

There are now settings for grass length in the game.

 

[Perfect Blue]

Bastia scored.

The dream is over

 

[Meier]

Roberts is damn talented.

Looks like Eisfeld did well too. Fulham will probably be pretty fun to watch this year. One of my teams in FM next season I think.

Gonna be amazing. The king is back.

 

[L1NETT]

Eisfeld look decent but lacks the killer ball

American kid in the middle, forget his name, looked really composed.

They have some decent kids there, still lack a spine for me. Magath seems a nutty little wanker too

 

[LAM09]

Bastia scored.

The dream is over

Makelele starting with a bang. BT Sports is a pain though!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

That's some real shit keeping from Mandanda.

 

[Perfect Blue]

YES 1-1

THE DREAM IS BACK

Great great goal.

They are working on that.

Bastia are throwing the match away.

 

[Steverulez]

lol@Chelsea fans trying to downplay their chances. Regardless of depth which you're not exactly lacking except for up front (a pretty big exception tbf), you have the best keeper, defense, defensive midfielder, one of the best centre midfielders, and potentially one of, if not the best striker in the league, the best manager, and the funds to buy in January without coming close to breaking FFP if necessary

They're just being modest, or crazy.

We're going to win the league. We have the best team and by far the best manager in the league who has the team he wants (+ Torres and Mikel) and plenty of depth.

I think Cech is going though and I think we might get Varane in exchange (plus giving Real a few pennies too).

A big if, we manage to get rid of Torres I suspect they'll bring in another striker as well but someone who can play behind the striker too so they don't have the expectation of starting and can rotate a bit.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Wait, Bastia goalkeeper's name is Areola?

Lmao.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Have we signed dude with the cool hair yet?

Barca agreed a fee but his agent is in Manchester

Dun dun dunnnn

Emerson Hyndman. Excited to see him develop.

I felt bad for Torpedo while watching it. Would be shocked if they're not relegated by March.

Why would Real want Cech? I thought they already signed Lopez' replacement?

 

[Steverulez]

Why would Real want Cech? I thought they already signed Lopez' replacement?

Because they know Iker is a pile of shite and Carlo wants him because he's got a few years left him in and I'm sure Petr would enjoy the semi-retirement

 

[Perfect Blue]

I think Cech is going though and I think we might get Varane in exchange (plus giving Real a few pennies too).

Would there be much point to this due to still being one player below the homegrown quota?

Looks like Craig Charles mixed with Costa

Going by that scoreline, they shouldn't have been promoted.
