My anger preceded Horse.

I've always enjoyed an argument, that you should know.

And I eat fast good fairly regularly but maintain an okay build. I do run quite frequently. One day I'll have to amend my diet/garbage ratio.

So Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez are in talks with Spurs, and someone might be in for Clyne? Has a side ever been picked apart like this before in one summer?

Looks like Christian Rodriguez to Sunderland should be done in next 24 hours. £5.5m. Him and van Aanholt down the left = pace for DAYS which we hugely lacked last season. Still need a quality CM, CB and maybe someone to replace Colback's versatility but like, be substantially better than he was.

did Bla finally get banned? hahaha

Atletico de Madrid have quietly built a solid team..... Griezmann, Mandzukic, Ansaldi, Siqueira...

Atletico de Madrid.... multiple years. Valencia, Sevilla. It happens alot in the Spanish league especially in recent seasons due to the economic crisis.

2 players bought from Atletico. That's hardly what is going on with Southampton at the moment, I mean Liverpool alone has signed 3 or 4 already, while every other top 7 team seems to have bought or will buy from them. :lol

but it's still a dismantling of a team and more than two players were bought Diego Costa, Diego, Filipe Luis, Adrian all bought, Courtois, David Villa, Jose Sosa, all out

I was talking about Chelsea doing the same, which they hardly have alone.


And uhm, Adrian is a bit shit isn't he? Getting 11 mil for him should be celebrated, Courtois was a loan deal, that's completely their fault, of course Courtois has been amazing for them so can't blame them for picking that option, but that was never going to last forever. Diego contract was up too wasn't it? David Villa was old as fuck and didn't have a future there and and wasn't Sosa just a small loan deal too? Dismantling a team from not letting them keep loaning the player is hardly dismantling them, they were only there as hotfixes.

Don't worry Gooners. We'll see Jenks develop into the player you hoped he'd be. Then sell him back for six mil. If anyone can do it, Sam can.

West Ham are set to win the race to sign Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson on loan. #AFC #WHUFC

Sky reporting it too looks like a loan deal. Jenkinson will come back stronger. Big Sam will also finally teach him how to head the ball properly.

yeah I guess I see your point but Adrian did have some big games for Atletico especially when Costa was out for a few games. I think he's underrated I think they got a steal at 11million euros but he was actually a key piece to the team last season. Sosa sucked and David villa played a ton of minutes last season so he was still a key player in that sense.


I think Valencia lost Villa, Mata, and David Silva all in the same season one year? Or perhaps in two seasons I forget.

Apparently this was on SSN. Anyone seen this?

To be more serious, that makes sense. But I mean, he has to see that we need a DM...and the DMs available will improve our team. Our options are/were:
De Jong
Vidal
Pogba
Schneiderlin
Khedira

There is no value in the market
