I always thought his future would be behind a striker, needs to bulk up though.

a good two year (unofficial) break
Such an odd decision. I guess he really was stressed out and wanted a job that's not as demanding as managing a top club. Not sure if coaching Italy in such a delicate period (and with half of Italy ready to jump at his throat just because he's a Juventino) is what he should've gone after.
He isn't terrible, but he's not a top player by any stretch of the imagination. It's the kind of signing that a recently promoted club makes, not one who wants to replace star players with similar talent or at least emerging talent.

Everton got Atsu on loan, 6m on FPL not bad may take a look when he's fit.
Fuck. I hope he manages to recover from that.
He played up front with Rooney for the last 20 minutes or so against Valencia on Tuesday, he showed some promise albeit only for a short length of time.

a national team is much more stress than juve.
I must admit, we looked good against Dortmund.
I'd like to see Moreno start against Southampton, he's already better than Johnson and Enrique is injured again :/
Young Players like Ryo Miyachi and Guidetti absolutely destroyed in the dutch league but couldn't get a look in for their clubs, whilst from the sounds of it Atsu did thoroughly average for Vitesse. Doesn't sound much like a hidden bargain

Balotelli is already dead.
Eh, not really though. Higher peaks, certainly, and the EC / WC period is brutal, obviously. But you do get months of downtime in which you can regenerate and prepare for the next blow. With a club, you're constantly getting kicked in the balls.
Speaking of Balo, Puma is contributing like 2M€ to Conte's salary. Balo is here to stay, if Cunte likes it or not, lol.
FA Cup: Romsey Town manager, 22, to be youngest ever boss
He's moving on to his Uefa B License next month apparently. Got his start with Championship Manager.

It was a joke, but he is on of Hull's better players. He also made the most crosses last season.
Romsey vs Fareham, local derby innit.
3-4-2-1 suits us much better right now. Mata and Shinji working together, and can rotate Adnan in to start or be used as a sub.
Fuck 'The Order'
That's what next gen is all about
That game pisses me off, fucking Ico rip off man.
Edit: when is Arsenal's match?, nvm it's Saturday 12:30, will watch.

Yeah a friend of who went to the game said he looked good up front.
Good not being blessed with an amazing of pace I was worried he may not feature as much. But it's Adnan the future GOAT you gotta give him minutes.

I hope he doesn't bulk up too much. He has this elegant playstyle that fits his height and weight perfectly. Viva knows what I'm talking about.
We could quite feasibly only have 6 CL games though. Probably wouldn't have too much of an impact.

Liverpool is ripe for the picking here. They steal half of Southampton's team and then Southampton comes in and beats them on the first day of the season. United will falter on the first day and people will call out for signings. Chelsea will batter Burnley because they're fucking Burnley and everyone will say Chelsea are practically the champions already. City will stumble. I think Arsenal beats Palace comfortably but no one will care because Chelsea will win by more.

now I am hungry
Rime may not be the hero we deserve, but it's the one we need right now. Team Ico are dead, we need someone to carry the mantle.

Good thing Sony owns both then.
Yeah ofc that makes it a little less offensive.

Really hope he does well at Palace. He looked to be genuine quality before his injuries. Pulis is a good manager and should get the best out of him.
Fuck 'The Order'

I prefer to have both D:
Allthough Rime is really refreshing just like Wild and Tomorrow Children, but first I need the glorious Hotline Miami 2.
Overpaid by about £5m but they've got the money and need players. He's good though, I like Long quite a bit.

Highlights of the weekend -
lolspurs.
Soldado scores from open play.
Lamela shows up but we lose.
Newcastle shame City like bukkake.
"Costa should be sent off for that!". Scores his second two mins later.
Last min own goal equaliser by Lovren.
Adnan, Mata, Kagawa (playing as MC) and Herrera are best of the bunch.
Lukaku hattrick.
Ramsey brace. Linked with move to R. Madrid soon after.
Happy Hixx.
Poor Wes. :-(
QPR vs Hull bores us all to death.

Ignore the price and just consider:
Does he fit into Saints system?
Is he a solid alternative to Pelle?
Is he good enough for their ambitions?
All 3 are true, for me. There's always the argument that Southampton could take the chance on a younger striker with room to grow, but given the risks they're already encountering, I think a safe bet like Long is the wisest choice.
Won't you be second seeds?
Nope, pot 3

I'm all for ico rip offs, especially now that team ico decided to stop making games.

As stated on The Anfield Wrap podcast, "We are a walking group of death".
"And we'll supply the death".
I mean sure but he's hardly prolific. Never got into double digits in a PL season and 4 years is a pretty hefty contract for a what, 27/8 year old?
I fancy our chances against anyone in a cup competition to be honest. We'll be a bit of an unknown quantity and I doubt anyone will be desperate to get us in their group. It could well be a horrible group for us though.
When does the group stage draw take place?
LOL!
