Wait we are a mid table hoof ball club.

@Crash, I think Walcott's definitely out

Walcott won't be back from injury until next season.

Ah cheers, that's a shame really, he didn't go to the 2010 WC either did he?

In that case yeah, I'm guessing Hodge will go for Young on the other wing for his experience but I'd rather see Ox there personally.

I wouldn't be averse to doing a footy-gaf meetup at Euro2016 actually. It's difficult to personally justify spending time and money going to a meetup in Birmingham or somewhere, but I'd be happy to take a ferry over to France and do a meetup with the backdrop of going to a game I actually want to go to

@Crash, I think Walcott's definitely out

Wait til Euro2020 and we can al meet up at a top British stadium, like Wembly or Windsor Park.

Khedira and Song

Think about that

 

[Jarnet87]

Khedira and Song

Think about that

It's an improvement over Cleverly, progress.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Khedira and Song

Think about that

Fellaini and Cleverley

 

[Vivalaraza]

Khedira would have been better than Fellaini, at least.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Khedira and Song

Think about that

Could be worse. Could be this guy:

 

[pulga]

im just happy weve proven this season we dont need that lump starting every game to be competitive

mourinho's obessision and carlo's early insistence on him was driving me mad

 

[Barzul]

Wonder which DM Arsenal will move for? Schneiderlin, Bender, Khedira, Willy C... No clue.

 

[K1LLER7]

Khedira is pretty good. Brings calm and energy to the midfield. All his good work goes unnoticed because of the flashy players by his side.

I'll take him £20m.

Madrid were better with him too.

yeah just wait until you see the ball on his feet and him not having an utter clue what to do with it

stifles way too many attacking plays

edit: no we were fucking not you bellend

10 million too much. He doesnt really calm the game as his technique is rather limited and he is somewhat vulnerable to pressing. There are a bunch of better holding midfielders out there. Leave Khedira to Arsenal.

 

[Clegg]

We're back to Song again? I didn't get Moyes' love for him back then and I still don't get it now.

Khedira wouldn't be so bad if you can get him for a decent price. But he's had a serious knee injury which may curtail his ability to run everywhere like a mad fucker.

 

[Kikarian]

Cleverley learning the spanish way from Khedira

 

[Barzul]

We won't buy s DM.

Arteta's legs are gone. It'd be gross incompetence to not sign one.

 

[Jarnet87]

Khedira is shit. Madrid should of sent his ass packing within seconds of getting a 40m bid for him. You are right about him being surrounded by vastly superior talent K1ller7, just not right about him being any good.

do you think löw will insist on khedira playing the wc? germany has way too many talented cms to waste a starting spot on him

Order of business: world class striker, right back, CB.... etc.

And that's ignoring the fact that Wenger might not even want a DM.

De Telegraaf are saying that Van Gaal will make a decision on Tottenham within the next week.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has become an unofficial recruitment consultant for Louis van Gaal recently. They were the first to report report that the manager had a meeting with Manchester United and today they talk of his 'luxury problem'. The dilemma is whether to commit himself to Tottenhm and be sure of a good Premier League job for next season or to wait until the summer and see if the Manchester United position is formally offered to him.

Van Gaal has the World Cup to prepare for and really should be putting other things out of his mind, but De Telegraaf say his next job is very much at the forefront. They claim that a decision will be made next week between they describe the opportunities as two dream jobs.

The risk for Van Gaal is that Tottenham become impatient and don't like playing a waiting game, suspecting they're being used as a fall back option. That could see Daniel Levy move on to other targets and as such potentially leave Van Gaal without the Premier League option he so clearly wants.

Tottenham are anxious according to the newspaper and if Van Gaal is their main target they've probably got reason to be. It's clear the Dutchman wants the Manchester United job if what is being reported in Holland is correct, it's just there's no actual vacancy there for him right now.

Next, say De Telegraaf, Van Gaal will have to decide whether to stick or twist.

Sounds like Arsenal. Maybe Diaby will even be back for a few weeks, and feel like a new signing.

Thanks, was watching on Everton's website, but that's just gone off air as well.

Great speech from Roberto Martinez.

How can I give weight to somebody's opinion when they believe that Benzema isn't world class?

Moving speech from Martinez just now.

 

[Jarnet87]

We are talking about the same manager who kept playing Podolski and bringing Klose to the tournament. It wouldn't shock me if Khedira starts.

never forget

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Arteta's legs are gone. It'd be gross incompetence to not sign one.

Sounds like Arsene's raison d'etre.

 

[Feorax]

Actually, fuck Sky News. Cutting away from Martinez so they weren't associated with some of his words. Cowardly cunts.

 

[Jack cw]

do you think löw will insist on khedira playing the wc? germany has way too many talented cms to waste a starting spot on him

I dont think that neither Khedira nor Gündogan are going to Brazil. Khedira wont have any match practice and would still be in recovery state and far far away from 100% fitness. Lahm is already playing Khediras position, so the only question left is Götze or Kroos as CAM. Löw will use Peps layout for WC and fail miserably. Also depends how the season ends for Bayern. If we lose unlucky like 2012 against Chelsea or get shot to hell by Real and BVB then its going to be an underwhelming WC for Germany.

Aren't there court ordered reporting restrictions while there's an inquest ongoing?

well khedira's back in training with us so he can't be that far off from returning

BELIEVE JACKY BOY

 

[Broder Salsa]

If Khedira wouldn't demand crazy wages, I would take him at Chelsea really.

But will be more fun when we take that Willy Carvalho guy from United.

 

[Feorax]

Aren't there court ordered reporting restrictions while there's an inquest ongoing?

There are, but you would assume the BBC and Sky would have clearance to show this if they're running the whole thing. I would imagine LFCTV and Everton are playing it safe if nothing else.

BBC haven't censored a thing so far.

 

[Clegg]

If LVG wants the job then you bloody well give it to him, Woody.

 

[Jarnet87]

I think Germany are going to choke in spectacular fashion like always. The question is which will of the following will it be: Another tough loss to spain, a crushing defeat in the semis to a lesser talented side like Italy, a penalty shootout loss, or a loss to Brazil in the final again. So many ways to disappoint.

Really? I ain't no blues expert, but don't Matic and Luiz do similar roles, and both have far more technically to their game.

Khedira and Song might be better than Fellani and Cleverley, but they don't solve any of the issues in the United midfield.

 

[Pennywise]

do you think löw will insist on khedira playing the wc? germany has way too many talented cms to waste a starting spot on him

If Khedira is fit and got some practice, he will play...
Gündogan won't make it and he won't give either Bender time on the pitch.

 

[Jack cw]

well khedira's back in training with us so he can't be that far off from returning

BELIEVE JACKY BOY

I do believe but he was out for several months and I dont think he could be fit for WC in less then 8 weeks. Its nice to have him back though, but it takes around the same time getting to 100% as the recovery time with an ACL...

If Khedira is fit and got some practice, he will play...
Gündogan won't make it and he won't give either Bender time on the pitch.

Depends on how many matches he makes at Real in the next few weeks and Kroos, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Götze are at 100%. And I dont think Löw will break the Bayern midfield.

Honduras will knock them out in the round of 16

@SkySports_Keith 2m
Poyet tells @SkySportsNews: "it won't be a surprise to anyone if something happens between now & end of the season." (Regarding his future)

I want to headbutt him. Honestly. Before the Everton game he said he had "total support" from Short, now he is intimating he is going to be sacked.

Wish he'd just offer no comment tbh.

 

[Clegg]

United has no pace in the middle of the pitch.

Moyes knows this is a big problem.

Targets Fellaini, Song and Carvalho.

 

[K1LLER7]

Bla is more into Greece than Germany I'm afraid
And I dont know about elsk, but winning the WC would be the saddest thing to me, because Löw will stay for another era...

 

[Broder Salsa]

Khedira and Song might be better than Fellani and Cleverley, but they don't solve any of the issues in the United midfield.

Matic does. I fully expect Luiz to be going in the summer (way too inconsistent for Mou and could get good money) and Mikel is looking very likely to leave too, that leaves Chelsea with only one Midfielder that can do proper defensive work. Khedira is fairly limited going forward, but Chelsea will be looking for a new midfielder of that type during the summer, he's great at protecting his back line and you can't put a finger on his work rate.

But again, he's probably going to be too expensive compared to some alternatives, but he would be far from a bad option.
