Poor Freddy. Can't believe he can't find an MLS club at least...I mean come on now.

 

[Gurthang]

Cazorla is 32? damn

 

[GorillaJu]

I feel sick to my stomach that this thread title has a Friends reference and not Seinfeld.

 

[Lashley]

He dated JoJo, he had his time.

Would love it if Moyes's new job was to bring English players to Spain to play for a plucky team. If he made a difference to that mentality of staying in England it'd be great and pretty positive going forward.

yeah even Holland or MLS won't take him, that is sad.

pls

Just fire three spitballs and maybe one of them will stick

 

[Jarnet87]

I dont buy a bigger club going after Pjanic. I guess he is playing really good football right now but people have known how talented he is since his Lyon days.

I'd love Ings at Spurs. But if Moyes does it, it'll be fantastic. Imagine Moyes as the catalyst that finally gets more young, talented English players abroad.
What a time!

Jarnet, pls. We know that. But premfaces don't.

 

[wedward]

Depending on the fee I would be ok selling Cazorla.

Replace him with Isco.

Then we have a disco.

Not sure at all about this. Never seen any of them play, but still.

Can't wait until he re-signs Rodwell and breathes life into him again

Max we would get for Santi would be around 10 from some Spanish club.

Yeah, as though the sight of someone's nipples would insight the crowd

its about the shirt sponsors wanting to be close up on tv

I think you've gotten confused as to our clubs' sporting relationship.

RMadrid is akin to a fine dining restaurant.

Arsenal is just our trash bin.

Spoiler

Spurs are our kobe beef supplier.

Haha you must be so butt hurt that none of our players wanted to play for you. Even Wenger rejectrd your joke club. Only player who went to you was Anelka and it took you years to pay it off because your club likes to cheat on its finances.

Whatever makes you feel better plug.

Wenger rejected you a long time ago. Build a bridge pls.

Dodged a bullet with that one.

All we'd have in a decade is a Copa del Rey to show.

It's impossible to play online in FIFA 14 without playing against real madrid..so dum.

 

[Lashley]

my skill moves never work when I need them too, besides shot fake

 

[Probity]

I am awful at making skill moves work, which is ironic since I learned how to do accurate analog motions from Skate.

shot fake is goat along the wing cutting inside

Isco? Fuck him. Go for Draxler like we should have landed him last year.

hows he even been lately

 

[wedward]

Isco? Fuck him. Go for Draxler like we should have landed him last year.

Man. You have the strangest opinions sometimes.

Interested in hearing why you would want Draxler over Isco.

Cant think of a single reason other than Draxler would be cheaper.

 

[pulga]

God Im sick of Kolo fucking Toure in the OP.

Can't we get a nice OP going guys? Ours just looks terrible. The only salvageable part is how each club's icon links to that club's website. That's it.

 

[Salazar]

Switch pulga's club links around and see if he notices.

This is not a tired and old joke by now.

I know how to do most, and they work in useless situations

Isco would be near impossible to get out of Madrid, obviously cheaper, difference in quality I don't believe is that big, Draxler can play in more than one position and is a very good player. Bit injury prone would be my only issue.

Isco is a pipe dream. Down the lines of Pogba and Varane.

I dont buy a bigger club going after Pjanic. I guess he is playing really good football right now but people have known how talented he is since his Lyon days.

This always comes up whenever Liverpool, or Arsenal, or Tottenham are linked with players.

What bigger clubs? Do people still not realise how much the PL clubs absolutely dwarf the rest in terms of money and prestige? There are 4 clubs in Europe that can compete with them, one of which is banned from transfers. He's not a big enough name for PSG or RM, and who knows if he would fit into a Pep team.

If Liverpool do end up missing out on the CL then one of the other Prem clubs could probably outbid them, but other than that there just aren't these 'bigger clubs' waiting to strike for most of these players.

they are big clubs. I dont buy the rumor because they could of gone after him years ag, so why now. and its not like he would have been expensive.

 

[Lashley]

Right I'm going to bed.

6 hours sleep, yeahhhhh

Lol. I wasnt being serious. We arent getting either.

Isco is the better player.

Pulga did you just post a picture of a corpse

Is that what's hot in these Honduran streets

You should try playing Counterstrike with randoms! Anytime I play with Americans the other randoms just spend the whole game taking the piss out of my English accent :/
