Cheer for us Bla.

i used to

but with ur new coach...

i dont know what to feel anymore

 

[la_briola]

Bobic :lol

Even Sport 1 Doppelpass doesnt want him

First Veh (twice), now Bobic and then Heldt (regarding his stint as a player). Just wait!

Reminds me of Jogi, just get everyone and everything Stuttgart.

I trust in Abendzeitung

Remember when you were laughing at Gundogan in Crimea and then we got a photo. Incredible

Well, who the fuck has actually believed that? It was absurd as fuck

Hahahahaha I love their videos

Remember expectations are skewed due to the incresing financial power of the Premier League. 43 M€ is essentially 25M€ of last year.

Blind says that the bid is actually 27.5M€ for now but Monchengladbach want 33M€ + incentives.

didnt u believe that?

City better not fuck up on Sunday.

Would be funny if they got knocked out during the play off round

 

[Blablurn]

SZ: Götze has been told by Ancelotti to go (effectively). Liverpool, Dortmund and others interested.

Francesco Guidolin staying at Swansea another two years

Anyone give me a quick scouting report on Granit Xhaka? Looks like Arsenal are closing in on him and I'm admittedly in the dark about him.

Deep lying midfielder, that fairly rarely comes forward. Good positioning but his real strength is passing. Great distributor who can start quick counters or build up the play. I think the real question is how do he and Ozil play together. They can either give Arsenal their best possession in years or step on each other's feet.

 

[spidye]

Benatia and hojbjerg can go
Rode deserves better
Götze is just unfortunate
Rafinha is actually the perfect backup player. Why should he leave?

 

[Lashley]

I wouldn't mind Rafinha and Benatia at Arsenal

 

[Elchele]

We probably are signing a new RB. Or promoting someone, hopefully.
Rode deserves to be in a team where he can be a starter. Same for Pierre Emile

Danny Welbeck out for NINE months!?

It's on BBC, mate.

Fuck. Yeh just turned on Bein sports and they have confirmed.

Gutted for the guy. Should have never come to Arsenal, we are cursed.

Curse of Wenger

Curse of Wenger

He should do a Pep and berate the medical staff until they quit.

Kloppo pls

I doubt Gotze would want to go back to BVB. Everyone hates him. Liverpool sounds more possible imo

I missed Boro being in the prem (glad to see them back) and City being a shit yoyo club that no one gave a fuck about.

Nah. They're just playing coy.

Afonso Alves hattrick and THAT Rochemback freekick.

 

[Phantast2k]

I agree, also his old position doesn't really exist any more at Dortmund and he's too fat for the wings. He's also too frail for the CM.
Kagawa had sort of the same issue, but seems to cope better now: https://youtu.be/elJZBjX62OY

I read somewhere that Dembele is the sole focus for the offensive midfield.

In that article Arsenal and Juve are mentioned too as being interested in Goatze. I really hope we can dodge that bullet...

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Kloppo will get the best out of him again

 

[Syder]

Kloppo will get the best out of him again

Where will he fit into a team with Countinho and Firmino though?

 

[miserable]

Where will he fit into a team with Countinho and Firmino though?

there's always room on the bench

 

[sora87]

Always good to have competition, liverpool's squad right now doesn't have a lot of depth.

new keeper lol. mignolet/ward as back up.
clyne/lovren/matip/moreno. gomez/flanagan as back up. Probably need some more there.
can/henderson. milner/grujic/allen/lucas as back up.
gotze/firmino/coutinho. lallana/ojo/ibe as back up.
sturridge/origi/ings. might need one more striker.

Definitely room to bring in a few players.

 

[Phantast2k]

He's also still mostly using a 4-2-3-1 as far as I have seen, his trademark formation, one in which Goatze worked best.
Firmino will probably have to play on the wings or up front (for the most part) to accommodate Goatze in CAM. They could also shuffle between CF and CAM which could work nicely against deeply defending opponents.

He's a bit of a nutter too right....?

Well, if Tuchel really wants Götze, then I'm certain he has a plan for him.

However, I don't see us buying Dembele and Götze if Micky stays. And Dembele looks like a question of when will it be done rather than if it will be done. So, what I'm saying is: Micky pls

 

[Lashley]

I'm over the moon that Boro are back in the Prem, great club

I'm really looking forward to see what Klopp has in mind for the next season. Shall be an interesting summer.

Norwich battling hard here

 

[EmiPrime]

How are Everton as shit as they are with the (good) players they have? Bonkers.

 

[SictorVullivan]

Holy shit Sunderland.

And Everton....rip Everton

 

[King_Moc]

Holy shit Sunderland.

And Everton....rip Everton

If Everton don't get rid of Martinez, they'll have a relegation battle next year. Whether they lose players or not.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Bollocks. Good run.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

How are Everton as shit as they are with the (good) players they have? Bonkers.

Roberto Martinez. It's that simple.

The Norwich players are playing for a move here I think.

Newcastle would've been safe had they hired Rafa weeks before hand.

Newcastle and Villa relegated, Leicester winning the league. What a strange season.

 

[Empty]

martinez lol

took so much credit for the unique moment of adding quicker passing movement to defensive organization and mental toughness that moyes spent years building, totally exposed when faced with constructing his own side.

 

[brentech]

Mignolet...

 

[TeddyBoy]

Chelsea seem to be playing five at the back tonight, going to be a long 45 minutes after the break.

 

[Syder]

Yeah, there's no way Martinez is still charge at the end of this season.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Thanks.

He's a bit of a nutter too right....?

Supposedly his teammates call Xhaka 'Young Einstein' because he's really into science and always talks about it. So a weirdo but not a troublemaker.

 

[onepiecefan]

Hazard His form for the last month suggests he was playing with a slight injury throughout the season. Hope he can keep his form into the Euro's and beyond.
