all the leagues are over so lets get it popping.

who you want?
who you trying to ditch?

couple things already interesting so far.

- Depay on Man Utd is done.
- Sterling's going to end up at City or Arsenal (for his sake as a player i'd rather it be the latter)
- Petr Cech will be on the move (think he lands at Arse as well)
- De Gea's most likely gone to Madrid even though we're offering him stupid money.
- Bale is probably on the block at Madrid. I'd gladly have him at an appropriate price for his performances this year *trollface*
- Xavi's retiring to Qatar
- RM already signed Danilo a right back from Porto for 30m


my transfer wishlist
- Winger (done)
- Striker (i'd love to have Lacazette or Vietto. Benzema if RM is really stupid)
- CB (Hummels, Otamendi)
- 2 CM (so many choices. Gundogan seems nailed on for Carrick's successor. Veratti? Pogba? Rabiot? Schneiderlin?)
- RB (Carvajal, Clyne. Clyne seems nailed on.)
- 1 mega signing
- resign De Gea (if he leaves try Lloris)

Out: Falcao or RVP, Blackett, Valencia, send Januzaj on loan. Wouldn't be mad if Di Maria left either.

<--- Big Baller World Order

except to sell. tho, barca does supposedly have an agreement to sign rafa mujinca (16 year old) once the ban is done.

anyway, i want to re-sign dani alves (montoya clearly not trusted, so i'll accept it even though i don't get why that is). pedro deserves to get his chance to shine somewhere else, so i expect him to go. xavi's supposedly announcing his departure on thursday, so i want a big send-off for him and for him to come back as a coach soon. i hear gundogan's no longer an option, not sure we needed him, not sure i cared much either way.

with pedro going, though, i wonder who the back-up winger will be. but i think there are more than enough options in barca b.

all i really want is for real to overpay for unnecessary parts and get even more unbalanced. which is quite possible.

Clearly top 2 needs imo:
1) GK (Ospina is a good keeper, would be the perfect #2): Would love Cech.
2) Holding mid: We've all seen the impact Coquelin has had (still shocking it basically took a desperation move brought on by injuries for Wenger to realize just how important this position is for us, especially in how much freedom it allows our creative types). I'm really hoping for Schneiderlin.

The priority here is a bit more muddled:
3) LB: Gibbs has not improved and is still way too inconsistent, Monreal is a solid backup but he shouldn't be seeing huge minutes at LB.
4) Raheem mfin Sterling: Not simply because I love his game and he's one of the best youngsters, but further because our wings became clearly fatigued as the season wore on (esp Alexis). Also, can only imagine the level he would hit under Wenger, obviously one of the best talent developers in the league. I'd let Walcott walk and go full bore after Raheem.
5) Striker: Giroud has had a solid season and I love his vision plus hold-up play...but his weaknesses were on full display this past week when he was pinched down way too easily by Jones and Blind due to lack of pace and his finishing was lackluster on multiple occasions.
6) CB. Kosc is chugging along and Gabriel is a very good fill-in but at some point, Per has to be replaced.

Don't need him,assuming Ox and gnabry stay healthy, not to mention zalelem, provided he gets a chance to develop further on loan somewhere next yr

Imo, Sterling's talent level is in the next echelon and that's why I want him. The last guy I saw on that similar trajectory was Hazard and wanted him so badly, obviously we know what he has developed into.

If you turn out to be right I'll give you props for sure, but I just don't see it.

As for Walcott, let him show and prove his last yr. If he balls out, then ok, we have the wherewithal to afford him now, unless he plays well enough to the point he gets interest from Real...which we damn well know won't happen

would've been ours.

<--- Big Baller World Order

I was praying we somehow got our hands on him...but the timing couldn't have been worse as we were under strict financial handcuff from financing Emirates. Obviously I hate dude is on Chelsea but Mourinho has done a really stellar job with his overall play (Oscar as well)...his defensive work-rate and willingness to play physical and ride tackles has increased exponentially.

I remember winning a level 1 tournament in FIFA with Lille against Real, Barcelona and Spain natl...cats were not ready for Eden lol.

they didn't already have so many similar players.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

Walcott, Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Gnabry, Gelalem, and even Cazorla can play out wide. They'd have to sell at least two of them, or loan out 2.

I thought the same thing about when they bought Gervinho as well, but at least then the Ox wasn't really on the scene as much then.

<--- Big Baller World Order

Sterling's agent is going full heel to force a move, but Liverpool tangoed with Suarez and still have some leverage with the remaining years on the contract, but it's looking grim.

Before all this, I'd have said we need a striker first and that has not changed. Origi will be coming, but we need someone who can score goals now. Not sure if they have the time to wait for him and Ibe.

I also wouldn't mind some defense. Lovren has been...not good, and I'd like to see Can in midfield.

Lowest priority, I guess, is keeper. Mignolet is okay, but when he's bad, he's awful.

"I can't promise I'll try. But I'll try to try."

take solace in the fact yall flipped a 1m investment into 40m. if he goes to city i dont see him taking off in a way that yall would regret losing him.

<--- Big Baller World Order

The point at which a player feels like the org isn't looking out for him, that's the point of no return...especially for a young player like Raheem.

That being said...I'd personally let Theo move on (mainly due to the injury history) and go after Sterling. Obviously dude is ultra talented and could make a huge impact but I would love to see him reach his potential under the cultivation of Wenger.

L'equipe is relaying a report from Catalan sports rag Sport that there would be an agreement to the tune of 80 mil, with a loan to the Old Lady next year in order to work around the financial fair play rules. They're supposedly waiting til after the CL final to announce it.

Seems a little too convenient to be true, but if it is...they'd be unplayable.

If they do this they really need to go full retard in assembling the most unlikeable frontline of all times and also go after Robben and scarface (why not). Locker room fights galore.

especially after the big money "success" of two summers ago, i don't see spurs doing anything drastic. buy young, cross fingers and sell high later.

i think we need help/depth just about everywhere, but for different reasons. wingers/attackers to keep the load off kane ... maybe another striker as both ade and GOLdado should be gone. a proven pivot midfielder to go with bentaleb. mason isn't the answer, but he would be perfect coming off the bench and help all along the defensive line. only leicester, villa and newcastle have let in more goals this year and we're tied with burnley. just think if we didn't have lloris?

speaking of which, KEEP YOUR DIRTY MITTS OFF HIM! HE'S OURS! FOREVAH!

(no. he isn't. i just want to pretend.)

Looks like him going to Arsenal is heating back up tho, which makes much more sense.

With such a large roster with so many people who do not play, I would love to see a firesale of all the people that Poche simply won't play for whatever reason.

Other than that, hopefully some Levy bargain bin specials and a shotgun to fend off Lloris suitors.

which sucks. if soton weren't playing hardball with him, we'd have our midfielder.

we have plenty of deadwood to move. it will be (more) interesting to see who's going rather than who's coming.

if de gea goes to madrid, i think we're in trouble. LOTS of trouble.

I want dude to get his shine, but I'm vexed that it might be there. He's in his prime so he'll have an immediate impact, but I really want to see him at Chelsea as Drogba 3.0.

it's a crying shame what Nike is doing to this legendary kit
ugly as sin bootleg ass rugby jersey compounded by the dumb claret shorts
the away is fugly too, btw

actually, it is pretty ugly. though fans have been clamoring for the return of the red shorts.

from what i hear, it looks ugly on random people, but it might look nice on the field. still, barca's kits have been on a tradition of going fugly then classic then fugly. this year was pretty classic, so it was fugly's turn.

It's pretty silly to me as well in terms of how Real Madrid operates but it is what it is. Once Juve knocked them out, it was just a matter of when for Ancelloti.

city needs to get more english.
we are not interested
chelsea isnt interested.
arsene doesnt spend big on players close to 30.
not french or flashy enough name for psg. nobody else in ligue 1 would get him.

could maybe see a german team taking a shot on him. dortmund or wolfsburg. but if he moves it just seems like hes destined for italy.

18 year old brazilian. That's a lotta money for an 18 year old, but I guess they had to to get him with the ban?

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

The combination of pace, balance, feet, technique....some might even call it magisterial. My favorite touch was the one to setup his shot...sprinting, decelerates in the blink of an eye, perfect balance and touch with his left to cut inside, and then the accuracy.

Just unreal...I don't know how else it can be properly described.

now skrtl is unhappy with what they are giving him. they saw how lovren played last year, right?

liverpool can't afford a skrtl-sized hole at center back. not sure why they are offering an appearance-based contract to a guy who is just 30 and doesn't have a history of injuries. did they not see his awesome headband goal???
