He also said Kuba to a non specific England team and Piszczek to Madrid. I don't think he has any inside knowledge.
We don't need another starting striker right now.
Got to watch the highlights later, surprised nobody seems to want Honda.
CSKA asking too much iirc, plus he's had some injuries too I think, but it's mainly down to price.
I still remember watching him at WC 2010, I was so so impressed.

Watching Japan in 2014 qualifiers, absolutely breathtaking style of play, very comparable to barca/spain.
They were unlucky against Paraguay last world cup, next world cup with Kagawa in attack should be interesting.

Hope they obliterate Australia next week.
I have been watching the whole thing as I am getting ready to go go work. Jordan have been completely out of it. They have had one attempt at goal have been pushed back in their goal area for the entire first half even before the red card. The real star man for Japan in this game is Endo. He has been immense for Japan. Everyone else is playing very well.
I remember that His free kicks that tournament were unbelievable, especially with that shitty ball they used. He, Forlan and Ozil were the stand out players that world cup.
If they play like how they are playing today, Australia won't stand a chance against them. They are playing some beautiful football out there.

CSKA are asking something like £15million for him last I heard, they bought him for £6.5million. He's well known to not be too happy in Russia and has had bad injuries lately. Only 2 years left on his contract too.
Asian (Japan+S.Korea) players are currently spectacularly undervalued in their home leagues in my opinion. Usami is another good shout since Bayern didn't exercise their option on his loan. Nagatomo is boss too, shame he went to Inter. Chung-Young Lee is going to leave Bolton so he'd be a good pick up as well.
It's a shame Endo never left Gamba Osaka. Good one-club man but he could've been a star in Europe.

"In my opinion, in a moment they will be gone from Borussia [Dortmund], Smuda told Reuters.
Lewy' is going to Manchester United, Kuba also somewhere in England, Piszczek to Real [Madrid].

Why would anyone want to leave BVB right now? Some of the biggest crowds in Europe, German Champions, Cup Winners, Champions League. Something big is being built there, if people go it's for the money and nowt else. Decent reason to be fair, they are professionals, but still.
Interested to see where CYL ends up. We need him back in the NT so bad.

Liverpool could do well to take him if he's cheap. Every time I saw him for Bolton he looked classy on the ball with good work rate as well. Bolton were relegated so if we can get him for under £6million I'd be happy.
Yeah Bolton have a few good players to pick up. Lee, Holden and Mark Davies especially.
We're going to be more defensively organised than this shambles of a team. But theres no doubt that Japan's squad is far more talented than Australias.

We actually told every player that he should leave instantly. Götze is going to Real, Hummels to Bayern, Owomoyela to Barca. We make a shitload of money, buy a very cheap shit team and the rest of the money will give the fans at the stadium free beer so they are able to handle the awful shit football we'll play.
lol no. Kuba might leave, Lewandowski won't go if there isn't some crazy offer (30m+) and there's no way Piszczek will leave.
Lewandowski isn't good enough for United, hope this is bs.

Holden's another good shout. Also I think someone posted the list of players who are currently out of contract a few pages back. There's a few gems out there available for free, Diame for instance who Liverpool have reportedly signed was one. Steven Fletcher and Jarvis from Wolves might be available cheap too. Good pickings to be had.

Chelsea's website informs me that Mark Hoppus is a Chelsea fan. Well there you go.
Most of his goals are just shit tap-ins from less than 6 yards with the goalkeeper out of position:

And in this past season in the Bundesliga & Champions League he has a 'stunning' pass accuracy of only 63.2% which is diabolically bad, most world class players are over 80% nearer 90%.
Not good enough by a long shot, Javier Hernández is already better than him.
More reason to hate Chelsea.
Yeah, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Javier Hernandez are fantastic passers that score all their goals from 35 yards.
What should I do with this information ?

Push it to the back of your mind. It may come up in a pub quiz.

It would be cool if all people thought like you. That way we could keep that shitty striker Lewandowski without a problem and there would be no rumors every other day.
Let's all be grateful not everyone thinks like doicare.
What do you mean by 'already'? You're saying you don't need a striker because you have Rooney and Javier?

In between flicking through the EURO racism thread and doicare's comment my brain is really starting to ache. Oh well, at least we've got football to watch for the next few weeks 
Went to see Coldplay at the Stadium of Light last night, I think it says a lot that their flashing wristbands are the best part of that show.

Made a Picklive league for the Euros if anyone's interested in joining. Similar to fantasy football except it seems you can pick whichever players you want for your starting 11, and the points and league table for the game update live in play. At least, that's what used to happen, the last time I played it was a while ago.
Anyway, if anyone's interested: League link (free entry)
This runs for the whole tournament, but we could always do one just for the knockout stages if this is too short notice.
