Welcome back Pulga, just realized you're back!

What do you think our starting XI is going to look like?

With James I think it makes sense going back to 4-2-3-1.

I have a feeling Carlo might sit Modric just to please Florentino, this season sucks already.

Balls to that, Modric is undroppable. My favorite player from last season. No ways about it, we need to stick to the 4-3-3 and hope a midfield of Modric - Kroos - James/Isco can (learn to) provide enough cover defensively. Hopefully Di Maria stays, we're in for 6 competitions and we need to rotate and the only thing better than squad depth is to have the AAA squad depth we have.

I really want to see this though, sometime:

Modric - Kroos - Isco
--Bale - James - CR7

I could see sparks flying between James and Isco... that is if the Madrid media don't find a way to pit them as sworn enemies -_-

Is Manolas any good? I remember him from the WC but Greece was so defensive as a whole so not sure that's the best measurement stick.

Watching this Louis Theroux documentry on people in vegetative states and end of life, the families infuriate me, I understand holding on but they are keeping their friends/relatives alive for years with no recovery possible, its torture but they dont see it, its completely and utterly selfish.
 
Chelsea are looking to pursue Paris Saint-Germain youngster Adrien Rabiot, who is also a target for Premier League rivals Arsenal.

According to the Express, Jose Mourinho is keen to further add to his midfield before the start of the season and is said to be a big fan of the midfielder. The Blues boss feels his ability to play at either midfield or the defense will be a big asset for the team.

Crazy that the season is so close to kicking off and United have yet to buy anyone since Shaw/Herrera.

There isn't so much as a lick of a story yet either.

You've spent way more money than Bayern. Joking aside, not surprised Van Gaal hasn't gone on a shopping spree yet.

A few of the papers are reporting Eto'o as an option. This is hardly saying much as I'm sure most available strikers with good records are an option, but I'm sure that won't stop endless bickering over his quality, his age, Chelsea, FSG and all that shite.

Personally I reckon he'd only be brought in if Liverpool decided to get another attacking player on top, an AM type, and Eto'o was just an emergency in case Stirling/Markovic/Whoever didn't work out as a false nine.
 
Now I don't know what to believe.

Who? Arsenal?

You have a relatively complete squad which doesn't require investment.

The £15m for Vermaelen, £10m for Vela, plus a host of wages off the books including Bendtner, Sagna, and Fabianski make the outlay less than it would imagine to an outsider looking in.

Shit, I forgot you're an Arsenal fan. Well, you and United actually. Nevermind. But yeah, obviously we have a solid squad, but Ribery and Robben aren't getting any younger.

I think Eto'o could be a good shout as a Sturridge backup. I think him and Moreno would be enough to see us through until January at the very least.
