They will be getting a 30 year old Huntelaar, so here's hoping they sign a long contract with him.

Overrated English players that comes with that premium British tax. One is a selfish, arrogant player with an attitude who has a problem with passing and thinks he should be number 1 when clearly he isn't, another who hasn't really progressed much since his international hat trick. No thanks.

Just read that CSKA are apparently after Huntelaar too. Willing to offer him 6 million euros a season in wages.

Don't agree there. Sure, Leitner has been rather bad so far but he's still only 19. Reminds me a bit of Gündogan in his first months, he's got it all but a bit too sloppy/unreliable and not yet able to control the game. CM/DM is very hard, I'm sure he can grow into it but it needs some time. Not everyone can boss CM at 22 like Gündogan does. And as long as we get along with Bender/Kehl(Rode?)/Gündogan playing most matches until he's ready, I'm okay with it.
Subotic, I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to decide yet. Lewandowski, yeah, that player's agent wants him at United or some other big name... The only thing I have a small bit of hope for is that Lewandowski tells him to shut up and decides to stay.
For Großkreutz, it all depends on the rest of the season. There was no need for either side to sign a new contract before it. BVB wants to see his progress and Großkreutz wants to see which role he plays. I'm rather sure he'll stay, though. Where would he go? I'd be surprised if he rather wanted to play for a midtable PL club than for us to be honest.
Perisic, well, I don't want to write players off after Kuba's return last season. But we really should replace him if things don't change. I feel like he lacks a bit of playing intelligence to play in Klopp's system, at least it seems like it at times. Maybe it's the language? At this point, let's just fuck Gladbach over and get Herrmann
You're still mad at them for Torres? They gave Chelsea the perfect scapegoat for every bad result, you should thank them.
Everyone was saying that exact thing about RVP in the summer. Look how that went.
Klose is (approximately) 50 and he's scoring for fun in Italy. It's pretty fucking hard to score here. :/
The only one who could make a Lazio shirt look cool.
We don't. I see us taking Walcott because it's a 'bargain'.

Aren't Juve top of the league?

It's hard for our strikers to score! We're actually leading the league with goals scored somehow! Everyone is pitching in.

Any one want a possible ticket to the Chelsea vs. Man Utd game on Wednesday?
You will have to sit next to me
Last time posting this! Please don't make me go to a football match on my own :/
It's been two months. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...
RVP to score a hat-trick this weekend :'(
Anyways, seeing as how Walcott is either leaving for free or on a significantly reduced fee with only six months left on his contract, I see him moving to Chelsea or Liverpool. Shame it didn't work out, but good riddance. Have no idea why it didn't happen over the summer, tbh.

If he keeps impressing/scoring in the CL, sure.
Villa is getting old and Barca need someone who's able to pass around, but at the same time can score "striker goals"
RVP is old and fragile so SAF with all his striker fetish will want to have some serious alternatives and Chicharito.......FUCK, I always think of churros when I write his name :|
It seems like SAF doesn't rate him too highly after all, dunno.
Chelsea doesn't want him? Because they're so happy with Torres? :O
Of course, one of the 3 will prolly get Llorente..
1) Ok, I see. Honestly though, I think you're better off with keeping/developing him (if he lowered his wages demands) - Hunter is not that much different. Carroll can still get to where Hunter is.
2) RVP can lift a team even if he doesn't score. Hunter cannot do that. Most of his assist are super simple passes or header assists. But yeah, since he's off contract I can see where you're coming from.
He just recently signed a contract till 2017 and while there are rumors of Götze/Reus having release clauses after 2014, those same rumors suggest that Hummels has no such clause and that he's really committed to Dortmund (will probably be our next captain too).

Leitner: no, he's a liability in CM/DM. Not because he suffers from the same symptoms Gündogan did in 2011, but because he probably weights some 10kilos less, doesn't win any duels is basically a pushover for the most part.
I too have hopes for him and don't see him as failed, but he does not belong in CM/DM at this stage of his career. Schweine also played in OM before he dropped down to CM/DM. Klopp needs to finally realize that.
GK: I'm sure he'd happily play for mid-table EPL teams (Sunderland or Fulham or such) and they'd probably buy him at some 4-5m since he's a down to earth guy. But yeah, I also think Klopp wants to keep him as sort of an extended LB on LOM and who knows, maybe he'll stabilize? He's a great asset when in form.
Perisic can communicate through Subo though (Serbo-Croatian language), that's not the problem. He's just too spirited...and maybe dumb too, lol - but hey that's why he's so ice cold in front of the goal. I wish Klopp would use him as striker..
Tbh I'd have half a mind not to play RVP against Arsenal if we were playing at the Emirates. The fans would be calling for his head and that might force an Arsenal player into making a rash challenge.
But the games is at OT so we should be ok. Besides, we can't afford to drop him as he's become so integral to our side.

Just seen Homeland S02E05.
It was good and I like the bits I thought I wouldn't like. Good stuff.
Had my first day at work today. Was good fun. 11 - 7 isn't the worst shift in the world.
If he scores I'll go crazy. I love him so much already. It's crazy really, how it got to this I'll never know.

I don't think RVP will be affected by any of it.

Isnt Chelsea going for Falcao?

Prolly for both, lol
All I've heard that is that if United had a wishlist of players, Hummels would be near the very top.
I know he's going to stay at Dortmund but that won't stop teams from being interested in him.
Come on, man, Van Persie's a fucking priceless signing, we all know it.
He'll guarantee a goal a game, at least. To be fair, I'm hugely impressed that Suarez has kept up with him so far, he would be level had his winner yesterday not been disallowed.
After witnessing Carroll week in, week out for a season and a half, I really don't see this.
Carroll isn't a good finisher, and his movement in and around the box is poor. There's nothing to suggest that he'll ever reach the standards of Huntelaar in that regard. Carroll is wasteful, lacking finesse, lumbering, and reliant on the ball leaving the ground. The argument for keeping him at the club now is almost non-existent.
RVP won't be affected by the atmosphere.
But all it would only take is for one Arsenal player to get a rush of blood to the head and then RVP is out for three months.
I think half of us are still expecting the "RVP injury crisis" headline to pop up at some point this season.
Hopefully not though, he is a joy to watch there is no doubt.
Which one? We don't really have any players that would make terrible tackles.
Koscielny.
Is that why you were talking about candy a few minutes ago? You can't steal on your first day dude!
Homeland EP5:
A full episode of Claire Danes and Broody, now we're talking! I'm not sure I like where the story is going though
To be fair, he looked really eager against Catania and was 'less' frustrating to watch than Matri. We're all okay with that.
It almost makes too much sense. And, as usual with Marotta, a whiff of competition over a player and it's all over.
Kyoufu is praying for it.
I do voodoo dances in hopes of it happening.
And that's what everyone was saying when he was averaging a goal a game last season.
Er, no.
Some of them couldn't damage a dunked biscuit. He'll be fine.
His knee would explode as soon as he signed a 3 year deal knowing our luck.
I was actually thinking that someone like Wilshere might do it.
He's an Arsenal lad through and through and has just seen his teams captain and best player move to one of their bitterest rivals.
Is his release clause still 7m? Goddamn, Arsenal should buy him ASAP. Can never have enough injury-prone players in one squad!
edit: and I really don't think any Arsenal player would injure RVP out of malice/spite... I mean, the Arsenal support probably despises Nasri and Adebayor far more than RVP (granted, he hasn't played at the Emirates yet, so it's hard to gauge that yet) and even idiots like Frimpong haven't broken any legs yet. Wilshere got along great with a cunt like Nasri, really can't see him holding a grudge against RVP.

Why not? 7.5 million for a proven PL goal scorer. It's a bargain if you ask me.
Yep release clause comes back in January.

You're right in saying that Wilshere has the odd bad tackle in him but I just can't see it happening. RVP is not the first player to leave Arsenal for a rival, nor will he be the last. You needn't worry, it's more likely Scholes will kill someone.

How about a punch in the throat then? Eh, boyo?! :|
Ok ok, you convinced me. He's a bigger turd than Gomez :O
Oh yes, because he wants to warm your bench while writing a book called I Am Llorente.

When is Frimpong ready again? We all know how he feels about Arsenal traitors.
Ba's a class striker, been a fan since he signed for West Ham, however I've heard too much about his explosive knee, plus my anxious demeanour, for me to actively want us to sign him.
Huntelaar please.
Honestly, he really is, and I don't enjoy saying that in the slightest.
He will probably be playing the full 90 against Reading full week. We'll just send him round RVP's afterwards to kneecap him.

Look how happy he looks in the top pic. He justs likes trophies and being a pretty cheerleader. He can play in copa del rey and against the small clubs since Villa is getting OLD.
What's the problem? You got this guy:
Sadly I have come to this conclusion as well. When I was watching the West Ham game all I could think was "oh right, thats why we used to make fun of Carroll."
I'll believe the explosive knee when I see it explode. I haven't seen Huntelaar play. Is he awesomesauce? Will he be the best Spanish player in the Premier League after 8 games?
