I really hope there's another tackler in the team. Even if it means playing Gabriel or Chambers in that role during suspensions. I don't think it's a good long term solution though (injury to Coquelin = 4th place again...)

Joey Barton is a free agent I think, although he might destroy dressing room vibes

What the fuck.

FC Utrecht away shirt this season:

Loving it and even though I never wear them, I'm buying it this year.

 

[la_briola]

Khedira out for 2 month. :lol

 

[Kill3r7]

Good win for Arsenal. They are still a world class striker and defensive midfielder away from winning the league but Wenger has got things rolling in the right direction.

 

[GHG]

Pato is only 25.

What. The. Fuck.

Why did I think he was 29/30 or something? If someone takes a punt on him and gets him playing again somehow it'll be a hell of a bargain.

Khedira out for 2 month. :lol

They sold a bad knee just to buy an even worse one.

Bild claiming the players don't understand Pep anymore.

There sure were some strange scenes against Wob.

I don't get why he keeps subbing Müller.

You made me read a Bild article

Heard a couple people were interested in doing Premier League Predictions, so I've made a Google Doc to gather your predictions. You can find a link to that in the OP.

You can post your predictions here in the thread for all to see. If you could then PM me a link to your post to insure that I don't accidentally pass over it that would be great.

The peoples champ

Ronaldo is then asked what subjects are on the agenda in the changing room: “About music, about women, about fashion, about shoes, about suitcases/bags, about jewellery, about haircuts … any more you want me to list?”

“I can’t speak like that,” he says. “This is bullshit. Speak about Fifa, I don’t care about Fifa. And Qatar … I don’t give a fuck. What you want me to do? Speak about product, he speaks about Fifa … come on.”

[El Topo]

Can't really blame Ronaldo for that.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Only £2.5m for Rafael, Utd can't sell for shit.

 

[Meier]

Only heard him speak a few times. Interesting it was in English.

 

[Infernostew]

Only £2.5m for Rafael, Utd can't sell for shit.

Him being super injury prone probably doesn't help.

 

[sam777]

Him being super injury prone probably doesn't help.

True but we sell players for at least 5 mil less than other teams would manage.

 

[Tenebrous]

Transfer window has been boring as hell so far, but I'm happy with our (LFC) business.

 

[Jarnet87]

The Daily Mail saying PSG couldnt complete the Di Maria deal because he was too tired to complete his physical. UWotM7.

Well, I didn't expect Di Maria to leave after just a season

Alright, I just joined the GAF FPL, and now it is prediction time. Can't wait for Saturday, and I am looking forward to lurking the GAF football threads and be wrong about my predictions.

1. Arsenal (now or never)
2. Manchester City (with a fit Aguero)
3. Chelsea (everything will not go according to keikaku)
4. Liverpool (they should score goals)
---
5. Manchester United (there has to be a big one disappointed)
6. Tottenham
7. West Ham (the 7-12 is so stacked, why not)
---
18. Aston Villa
19. Bournemouth
20. Watford

 

[OléGunner]

Greatest EPL transfer flop of all time.

The day Arsenal can splooge 60mil on one player and sell him after a season laaawd.

Oh well doesn't look like Wenger is adding anything more to the squad right now

 

[The_Poet]

Fuck off Chelsea, you're not getting Rose.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Greatest EPL transfer flop of all time.

The number 7 is tarnished.

Cantona > Beckham > Ronaldo to Owen > Valencia > Di Maria

it will probably go to Pedro.

Torres?

Prediction

1. Chelsea (As long as mou is coach they will be difficult to beat)
2. Manchester United (Great transfers this summer)
3. Arsenal (Has probably done the best piece of business this season by getting Cech)
4. Manchester City (They just dont look as deadly anymore and the coach is woefull)
---
5. Tottenham
6. Southhampton
7. Liverpool (Rodgers is just not the right manager for LFC)
---
18. Watford
19. Bournemouth
20. Leicester

 

[brokenbeans]

I'm not gonna miss a player who's too tired for a Medical, I know he's had a knock from playing in the summer but apart from that what the shit has he been doing?

He probably got a high five from his soon to be PSG bros, bigger club yo!

Wankers.

 

[toythatkills]

Being too tired for a medical should be an automatic fail.

 

[DBT85]

Torres?

He proved that he could play in the PL at Liverpool. 65 goals in 102 PL appearances.

Just couldn't play for Chelsea.

I hated him going to pool as I dreamed of a year or two of Ronaldo, Torres and Fathead.

Indeed. I still think something is going to happen mate

Akpom just went to Hull on a loan which means we dont have any strikers left

Are you thinking of what im thinking?

 

[Meier]

The dude flew for 20 hours. Most of the medical involves running and whatnot (they're testing out your heart mostly).. seems pretty typical to let someone get some sleep and freshen up after that. It's a non-story that they twisted into something worse because the DM loves making United look better and twisting the knife in "flops" who were successful in other leagues.

Pretty fun to look through the various images. Haven't downloaded the save myself to look more into detail but some pretty funny stuff. Coventry are definitely big spenders in my FM save that is up to 2025.. only another 990 or so years to go.

Wenger now thinks he has a competitive team because they finally won Chelsea and won't look for a striker

Genious move by Mourinho one more time.

 

[TeddyBoy]

I know Spurs finished above Liverpool last season, but they've only brought in Alderweireld whilst Liverpool have brought in Milner, Clyne, Firmino and Benteke.

I really can't see how Liverpool do worse than last season.

I love how Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich is still the biggest PL win.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Predictions

This season might be the first genuine 4 team race for the title.
1. Chelsea (favorites to retain the title)
2. United (need to gel right away in order to compete for the title)
3. Arsenal (IF they land a world class striker the title will be theirs for the taking)
4. City (getting a bit long in the tooth but a fit Aguero and Silva can carry them to another title)
---
5. Spurs
6. Liverpool (depending on how their first 10 games shake out Liverpool will either be out of the race for the top 4 or part of the rat race)
7. Everton
---
18. Leicester
19. Watford
20. Bournemouth

 

[bonesmccoy]

Liverpool letting Gerrard go might end up being the best move of the off-season.

The squad seems far better than last year. The biggest concern for me is Lovren, who for reasons unknown appears to be preferred to Sakho at the moment.

My particular interests will be watching how the Brazilian quartet work out, and Ings.

Rodgers is building a Brazil B team, which I'm sure will end up being hilarious.

Ings is making a big change in club stature and expectations - going from where he was a regular and expected to contribute the lion's share of the goals, to where he'll be a rotation player.
