This Agger situation stinks of Alonso. If Agger leaves and we don't replace him properly, Rodgers will find himself walking the plank sooner rather than later. Especially if it means the Bootle Baresi gets more playing time than any non-Liverpool fan could have hoped for

Apparently the French press are reporting that ex-bindipper Alou Diarra, who currently plays as a defensive midfielder for Marseilles, is arriving in London today for talks with West Ham. And, of course, now that it has been reported, he'll wind up going somewhere else. We're also apparently in for Senegal striker Moussa Konate, who scored 5 goals in the Olympics.
Personally, while we do need to see improvement in pretty much every area, I'm a little concerned that our defence isn't going to be able to cope this season. Our current potential back fours don't inspire much confidence;
George McCartney/Danny Potts - James Tomkins - Winston Reid/James Collins - Joey O'Brien/Guy Demel

I'm unsure on Agger. Just how much better than Lescott is he? Lescott can be dodgy at times (last season against QPR) but his partnership with Kompany has on the whole been solid.
Lescott is a fine defender but Agger is one of the best. Mancini probably wants a more agile center-half who gets forward more, especially if he wants to play a 3-5-2 at all like he has in pre-season. Looking at City's biggest targets of De Rossi and Agger, I'd say its clear that Mancini wants to implement a 3-man defense at some point.

Agger is fucking brilliant. Effortlessly so.
Cool as fuck as well

Shola THE MACKEM SLAYER Ameobi is sharp and ready for the beginning of the season. We should play him against Spurs at some point as he was in God mode in our first match against them last season. Someone should put a restraint on him though as I fear he will kill bitches without lifting a finger.

Magnificent. Not even sure where to start with this one. Must've been the restaurants.
They can't. Dzeko and Tevez are non-EU players and they used up all their non-EU spots.

Bob Cass is slightly redeemed since it seems PSG gazumped this deal at the 11th hour.
Madrid players wanting to continue training is a great thing to hear. Turning on ESPN in the summer here in the US all you usually hear is NFL players complaining about training camp.
Excellent read, thanks.
Thanks for reminding me, guys. Really, thanks. Yurt, Charles, ma voi, una carettata di cazzi vostri, non ve la fatte mai, eh?

Yup.. United would get screwed over like that. Lol
Seems like Cass was right though. PSG really came outta nowhere. And certainly, PSG has a very expensive project going.

I missed this raging because I also thought the goal would stand. The Brugge fans. :lol
Seeded teams ---------- Unseeded teams

Sporting Braga ---- Fenerbahçe *3

I want Panathinaikos, not any of those unseeded ones, maybe Malaga if they are in complete chaos.

This transfer window has been ultra dull despite a good start.
I'd just pay the money for RVP and at the unveiling:
"I'd like to reassure Arsene Wenger that he didn't sell to a rival. You're a bunch of flakey JTs and you'll go nowhere".
Or Leonardo's bosses decided.
That was the earlier story. And, as it runs contrary to what Wanger Ribeiro is spouting, I tend to credit it.
Hooked on this bad boy again.
Leerdammer Leerdammer you smell like feet
Leerdammer Leerdammer you're so good to eat
What the hell? Explain please =P
Leerdammer's awesome. Stinks like shit though. Usually get a few packs and go through a whole one quickly. Love my cheese.
But you're from the UK right? How do you get your hands on that stuff?
By going to the supermarket?
Really? I had no idea they are selling that abroad lol.
They sell it at our supermarkets.

Yeah I felt like that too. It had a tone of exasperation/resignation to it that you simply don't use when negotiations are going well.
Never heard of it. What type of cheese is it? I'll keep an eye out next time I'm shopping.
It costs £24m and isn't very good.

Just saw tonight's highlights (here, if anyone wants to see that awesome Di Maria goal. Robinho scored a pretty neat one too). That went well: we were against one of the two-three top teams in the world, played a decent first half with our starting XI and had our asses kicked during the second, when our defence had Bonera, Yepes and the goddamn Mesbah. Also, Traorè and Constant in the middle. I'm not even worried, Pescara-Torino-Chievo and so on aren't even remotely close to RM, only Juve (and maybe Inter and Roma) will cause us a lot of trouble.
And nice job from Kakà, finishing the game with three assists is the best way to lower his price.

Nah, I don't think that we can end up ahead of Juve. They fixed almost every role they needed to, if they manage to buy an actual striker I can see another scudetto going to Turin. Our only hope is that they somehow get their summer preparation wrong just like we did last year, and that the CL manages to physically destroy them. In that case the Serie A will be way more open, Milan and other teams could easily end up being scudetto candidates.
I have no idea how this guy is playing for Milan. The defensive nous of Carl Jenkinson with the technical ability of Wayne Bridge.
