Well he hasn't proven himself yet in a topleague (just like Eriksen) so you can't really tell if the 20 million is right or not. For me, Strootman is a leader on and off the field, while Eriksen is 'just' an excellent CM.

Can't wait to see Eriksen a cold rainy night in stoke.
He'll be squished like a bug. I don't think it's the right league for him.
In my dream I was watching sky sports news and Chelsea signed Rooney, and then let him go for free just before the transfer window closed, so Rooney didn't have a club. Dream logic. Moyes was raging, but then my brain could no longer be bothered with David Moyes so he changed to AVB. I was then arguing in a pub that Mourinho was a genius and it was all mind games and that's part of football, no-one agreed. Disappointed my mind couldn't be bothered conjuring up a Mourinho press conference to talk about it. It was a very poor imagining of it all truth be told.
And say come here and people will say you're not good enough for your first few months and not cut out for the English game and the best league in the world? You may be able to do it in La Liga or in Europe but can you do it on a wet night in Stoke?

Nope neither do I. Could be surprised but... I thought Milan would have fit him much better.
Interesting that he was expected to be challenging for CL by the third year of Rodgers' contract.

Owen Hargreaves' accent is so weird.
Hopefully Michael Owen isn't doing commentary today

But would Bayern really pay the 45m release clause next season? Can't see that happening to be honest. Unless Ribery and/or Robben fuck themselves up with injuries. And a pre-contract for 2015 or something seems a bit odd.
sure, then he ends with 'needless to say i had the last laugh'.
Give me details.
I'm sat on a bench nibbling a sandwich as I try and battle this colossal hangover. Done with drink, it's poison.
this thread is like banging your head against a giant spiked wall
just because I support a currently less successful club does not mean I my opinions have to be weighed on the club I fucking support
I'm not so sure. I've had more questionable opinions on football sober in waking life so who knows.
good to hear. I think Kroos should be more an able to fill his shoes.
Götze unfortunately

45m on Draxler would be even worse than spending 25m on Thiago. Would be an absolutely unnecessary move.
Cardiff - Everton and Norwich - Southampton are far more appealing to a neutral than a one sided City banging

Like that one sided Cardiff - City match? That was decent despite the one sidedness.
At Cardiff though innit, I can't see Hull getting anything at City.
Not much to be honest. He basically said that he feels the team is more consistent now with 10 wins, 4 draws in our last 15 games. Pleased with contributions of Sturridge and Cout and said that money is available to get a £30m player but difficult to compete with other clubs due to no CL.
Also said that his expectation is that we'll be competing for CL by the end of his three year contract. Gave Robbie Savage a bit of a hug.
Suck it up Arnie. It's a fucking walk in the park when you're young, you don't even know what a hangover is! Wait til you get to my age!
HahaThe company that owns us right now is worth like 40 million euros, but I guess I shouldn't complain considering the teams we're up against right now. The team we're playing tomorrow for example has an average home attendance of 600... yeah.
Wait what? Who do you support again? :lol
Cunts Gaf aka Spurs Gaf is Tom Carrol any good?
José Mourinho
cocknose
José said in a presser that he wants a 22 man squad. So presumably we have some players on the way out on loan.
Like Mata to Liverpool.
2 weeks I think
Moses was at Melwood yesterday.
according to twitter
Be nice Chelsea. Please.
Didn't we already reject a loan offer from you guys?
Anyway, we'll need him once Mourinho has had enough of a Ramires-Lampard partnership.
Isn't that what they are doing if they pay Schalke 45m?
Well I could see the Bayern team changing quite a bit last season. Lewandowski will most likely lead to Mandzu's departure which will leave us with one striker.
They just extended a 30 year old Ribery which makes me doubt that 30 year old Robben will also get an extension (he's even more reliant on his speed / injury prone than Ribery and could fall of a cliff relatively soon). Robben leaving would clear up the spot for Draxler. Shaqiri might want to leave too if he can't manage to crack the starting eleven soon.
On defense Dante isnt getting any better, which will leave us with 1 or 2 capable CBs (if Badstuber makes it).
And as much as it pains me to say but the World Cup could provide an believable "out" for Schweinsteiger. It's a small sample size but of all our midfielders he has looked the worst in Pep's system. Kroos of all people looked far more agile on his position and Javi was just on a whole different level compared to him.
I'm terrible after drink.
Had some food, fluid, and a shit, so hopefully with the addition of a nap I'll course-correct myself for the rest of the day.

El Mohamady is gonna get a hat trick. I can feel it.
:lol it will be Cardiff all over again
Well not really rejected. It was more of a casual conversation in Monaco between Overmars and someone from Chelsea. The Chelsea guy supposedly said he's not leaving on loan for now. On what that depends isn't clear. If you ask me Chelsea's midfield is overcrowded already so I wouldn't be surprised if Van Ginkel gets little to no minutes. And if he wants to make a chance to go to Brazil he needs to be a starter weekly so his choice for Chelsea was kind of dumb decision anyways. The story that goes round is that the people at Vitesse pushed him towards Chelsea and neglected any talks with Ajax. They didn't even pick up the phone to formally accept and then deny a bid from our side.
Long story short, let me hope he still comes

Joe Hart is the most overrated goalkeeper in the world, right?
