same here. Müller will (hopefully) never leave Bayern. He has the fighting spirit and never gives up. I think he'll only get better, while Robben has to try to reclaim his old form.

The Chelsea away kit looks reminiscent of a Ligue 1 strip. It's not too bad, but for a club of their standing and financial resources you'd expect Adidas to offer a little more. It's just a bit mediocre. The black one is, at least in my opinion, diabolical.
Don't worry though, when our purple abomination is revealed you can deflect any criticism right onto everyone's favorite laughing stock.

Seems like Warrior's design team sucks. The black anthem jacket has tribal inside as well. I think the only reason the home shirt doesn't suck is because they wanted to play it safe. What's going to happen when they feel they have more freedom?
Not the conclusion I came too at all :lol
Roma home 2012/13
Yep, that's Roma.

You got it all wrong. Black and yellow is terrible. The white and blue one is pretty damn great.

Signing of the season!
I don't know if we're laughing at Spurs or they are laughing at us.
Hope Clarke does well; before he came to us he'd been waiting for a position to open up as a number 1, so I'm glad he's got his opportunity, and it would be a shame if he blew it.
If that happens, I'm going to eat my hat.
Should be a laugh watching it at home then.
I basically just want Fifa to look like the incompetent tits they are.
He said if it improves over night he'll eat crow. But he said a day before the Euro's the place should be buzzing but it was flat.
Scary thing was, he was right by the national stadium.

Agreed.
And regarding Warrior, that home kit looks wonderful, and while the away isn't perfect, they took a risk, and there was a reason they added the bib in the first place. I hope the third kit is spectacularly awful and out there, because I feel that that is the fun in having a third kit.

Think the new Chelsea shirt looks nice. I also liked last seasons white third kit. This seasons kits so far so good.

Hughton is going to be Norwich manager? Great to see him back in the PL, good luck to him!
aha
ahahaha
ahahahahahaha
Didn't he just come back from a major ankle ligament injury? There is no medical team better at turning flesh into glass than Arsenal.
You haven't even heard the names of the makeweight players yet.
Tom Cleverly for Modric + £20m

So, word is that Bent is 100% staying and we are going to be getting Markoun back!!! That's wonderful!

The 20 mil is from Spurs to United to get Cleverly, right?
That's wonderful news for Liverpool fans too!
Absolutely. Bargain!

What will happen to his playlist then?

Presumably bullshit. If not then it's a tester to see if Modric plays the 'I want to leave Tottenham' game again.
Chelsea offered £35m last summer and Tottenham didn't accept the bid.
There is no reason why they should accept a bid lower than that. Unless their bargaining position has been weakened by their lack of Champions League football.
Modric is more than likely going to stay at Tottenham.
The thing is that 20-30 is about the limit that United can spend on his fee. When you take into account the wages over ~4 years, the agent fee, you're talking twice that at least. Are United going to spend that on a 27 year old? Would Levy even accept less that 40m? I just don't see it happening. Modric has shown his hand in that he got his head down and played well despite the Chelsea move being laughed off. Most probably he stays at Spurs unless a continental team comes in for him.
United would be wiser to get somebody more like Tiote or Fellaini. With Kagawa I don't really think they need to spend £40m on Modric, what they need is somebody to partner Carrick like Yaya partners Barry.
I don't want em. I don't like Fellaini's thuggishness and I don't think Tiote has enough range in his game yet.

Couldn't agree more.
Tiote is a hard worker, but he's dumb as a sack of potatoes.
Agreed.
Our midfield is crying out for someone with a bit of fight in them. I don't think Tiote is the player that best suits that though. His overall game is a bit limited. United would be on the lookout for a player that can pass as well as he can tackle.
Joey Barton?

M'Vila. Arsenal are snoozing and he's more than a simple holding midfielder. Do it, Fergie.
I think he's vastly overrated tbh. I know some people say that if you got rid of the thugishness then he'd be a good footballer. I just don't see it though. He has a good cross but thats not the same as being a good passer. United would need someone that can retain possession when under pressure and then track back and defend when we don't have the ball. Barton possesses neither of these qualities at the highest level. He might do an ok job in the league but he'd be caught out in badly in the CL. Barton really isn't the answer. He's found his level as a mid-table player.
Someone like Daniele de Rossi would have been perfect for United.
Lobotomy. Send him to the surgeon what done it for Keegan.
