Belgium's biggest newspapers are reporting that De Bruyne is almost certainly going to Man City for €67m or just under £50m.

poor man has no idea where he is...

we never gave him the chance he deserved at chelsea, so sad...

What a ridiculous fee for him.

Also Utd can fuck off, you're not getting Kane.

yah,he will be going to madrid next year

fuck off UTD

 

[Tubie]

Yea Madrid will sell Benz to Arsenal for 50m and buy Kane for 30 in a year.

United is definitely not getting Kane.

 

[El Topo]

What a ridiculous fee for him.

Young, extremely talented, played an incredible season, important part of a great national team, voted best player in Germany in 2015, won titles with Wolfsburg, potentially irreplaceable for Wolfsburg, has a long contract.
€67m seem fairly reasonable. Keep in mind Sterling cost €70m and Rodriguez close to €80m.

Edit:
I love the little jab against City by Hecking.

 

[Lyng]

What a ridiculous fee for him.

I dont even think we are going for him. So far Van Gaal doesnt seem to want to buy a striker.
I think our efforts currently are on getting Pedro.

Liverpool could win this league. I really believe this.

After this weekend, it is clear to me that none of the top 4 in England would make it to the top 4 in Spain right now.

Madrid Barca Atleti Valencia Sevilla > all EPL teams I saw this weekend

To be fair apart from Athletico, Barca and madrid the rest of the spanish teams are shite.

Teams have to be amazing for 38 games straight. You didn't know?

 

[brokenbeans]

He's English and we like to over pay so Kane could happen, depends how much he trusts our current strikers and the future development of Wilson.

Not that Kane really impressed me this weekend saying that neither did fatty fat fat.

 

[Tubie]

Valencia and and Sevilla could challenge any team in the EPL easily.

Sevilla wins Europa twice in a row and they're shit?

Wanna talk about a small budget team getting results? nobody gets close to Sevilla. Atletico has wasted 600m+ euros in 15 years just to win 1 league. Sevilla has won 3 Europas and made a profit on top of them.

 

[True Savior]

First trophy of the year

Feels good man.

Let's see how many English teams are left in the CL 8 months from now.

Save this post.

Have you seen how much money EPL gets? It's the best league in the world.

 

[Freewheelin']

Have you seen how competitive EPL is compared to your shitshow leagues?

The fact that you're saying the top four struggled against other teams is indicative of a poor league just shows off the bubble you truly live in.

 

[Tubie]

Probably a troll post when they ignore the results of at least the last 4 seasons.

I don't have to make up how shit the EPL has been in recent years.

Just wouldn't make sense if Fathead is indeed going to play every week he's fit and as a striker. Because we won't play with 2 strikers.

If the spanish teams had to face someone like Stoke they would quit football.

Yeah Europa League is the league that nobody except spanish teams take seriously.

 

[El Topo]

Why do we always have to attack other leagues? These debates always end in shitting on other leagues.

 

[The_Poet]

I think fans of La Liga think that good football is a series of exhibition matches, like what the Harlem Globetrotters do.

 

[Tubie]

If the spanish teams had to face someone like Stoke they would quit football.

Sure, diminish the Spanish teams just because you know shit about them.

Like I said, let's see how many EPL teams are left in the CL 8 months from now.

 

[Firemind]

Doesn't the winner of the Europa League automatically qualify for the CL now? :3

Meanwhile, in Liverpool...

 

[Linius]

What a silly debate. Eredivisie is clearly the best league around.

Not you're not being serious, but not the greatest timing with Ajax getting knocked out by Rapid Vienna in the CL lol

I remember the days when Rapid Vienna was allways a big part of the CL....I feel old.

I dont diminish Barca Real and Athletico which are great teams. The rest...not so much.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

No idea what is being discussed, but the best league is Serie A.

Fucking hell, Serie A reject Darmian, Ogbonna, and Pelle were the stars of weekend 1

 

[Mista]

Sounds like typical Arsenal. You still need a ruthless forward. Too much of that passing crap.

Yeah typical Arsenal shitty day when they decide to play football for the 1st time

If the whole team were horrible then you didn't really get screwed, did you? Screwed would mean dodgy decisions.

West Ham deserve credit.

"We got screwed" = West Ham screwed us

My post is clear, read it again. If we werent shit they wouldn't have scored as we dominated

Welsh premier league gets my vote.

Rhyl FC > lol liga

What does that have to do with Sevilla and Valencia being better than Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Man United?

God dam was Wayne useless against Tottenham. I couldn't believe how long it took him to attempt that shot, most strikers would have just hit that first time. Feel like van Gaal buying a striker is admitting Rooney isn't good enough anymore, but he also isn't good enough to play the AM/CF role. Honestly if we got Kane I'd prefer Rooney play behind the striker. It would mean Depay gets out of that role and could move to the wing.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Harry Kane is a myth.

 

[Kill3r7]

The alleged Kane deal won't happen. The Spurs have no reason to sell because a) he is their only viable option at striker and b) if he has a another productive season he will cost north of £50m(got to love the English tax). Levy will take the gamble and fleece one of the top 4 teams next year. Additionally, why would Kane settle for playing second fiddle/out wide to Rooney prior to the Euro2016.

 

[Lashley]

I see Newcastle has the tickets on sale for their home game vs us on the 29th.

Tempted to go since I only live about 15 miles away

City's U18s minus those on the summer senior tour played them in a friendly a few weeks ago. The size difference was pretty funny, but City won 1-0. One of the guys I follow on Twitter who is big on the youth team drove over and saw the game and did a little write up.. pretty interesting: http://inesteemedkompany.blogspot.com/2015/07/rhyl-fc-0-1-mcfc-u18s.html

HSV IS OUT! 3-2 JENA! WOOOOO!

Edit:
^Good one.

You're welcome.

What an awesome day. Although my voice is fucked up

 

[Blablurn]

what happened to that HSV fan over here?

only shows up when bayern loses lol

 

[Anth1888]

I wonder realistically how long we can keep a hold of Virgil van Dijk I mean, we can't turn down £10million for him surely even with the Champions League windfall (if we qualify). VvD and Boyata have made a great partnership in the few games they've played, hopefully we can get another season out of him.

 

[The_Poet]

West Brom signed Rondon

Great bit of business

 

[Turok_TTZ]

Has Arsenal signed Benzema yet?

Would you change allegiances to Arsenal if they signed him?

 

[Turok_TTZ]

Nope.

Maybe if they paid Benz 450k net a week I would consider it.

 

[Meier]

City starting 11: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (c), Mangala, Kolarov, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Sterling, Bony
City subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Denayer, Demichelis, Nasri, Iheanacho, Aguero

West Brom starting 11: Myhill, Chester, Dawson, Lescott, Brunt, Morrison, Gardner, Fletcher (c), McClean, Berahino, Lambert

Looks good in blue.

 

[Az]

Man, I gotta get used to that.

 

[Lunar FC]

It hurts more than it should.

Roma just loaned Doumbia to CSKA which frees up an international spot. I imagine Dzeko will be announced today or tomorrow now.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Start of the season and no Aguero already, sheesh.
