16-20....think its more 14-17 if I'm honest.

Just looks like he may have added some muscle to his frame to help get over some of those niggling injuries maybe.

Agree with Ron, could really be a good piece of business signing Bent.

I'm okay with this statement. Like 5,000%

The premier league handbook is always good to see our kits

Defeatist mentality with defeatist tactics is the reason why we play so shit now. The season we finished 5th he at least had drilled a very good high-pressure team defense that was basically designed to force errors and counter.

Pards can send out whatever team on paper - but if he had the lads believing in themselves and their own ability we're a million times better for it. The guys like Cabaye, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Sissoko etc. should be told in training to just have at Man City and show the world their talent(s). Some positivity would go a long way for these lot.

Yeah I meant it that way but was terribly vague...my bad. classic = vintage = standard 90's style = classic big sam team.

Thats a team with a very defined ceiling on how well they will do as well as a floor in which they'll not fall. A classic premiership team written all over it...and yes I'd be scared shitless to play that team.

But you can almost guarantee Arsenal will get the best f***ing kit going next season. such a good point. I will say Dortmund's kits look good - probably b/c they aren't fucked about like ours.

Yeah I'm sort of mixed about it man, I'm kinda excited just b/c football is back and the coverage by NBC over here will be awesome - but at same time, I'm of course nervous about our season - sort of know its happening and just around the corner so might as well get it going.

Look he's had all summer to think about the first few matches, needs to set the team up right to cope with Man City's talent and execute some counter attacking football. If we can nick a goal from some magic ( meaning Cabaye, HBA, or Cisse then) and have some of that work-man resolve that we showed the 5th place season we can get a result there. The defeatist mentality has to stop this season - we were our best when AP showed confidence and swagger about us, and it flowed through the team. We had some brilliant high pressure team orientated performances that yes, had some magic in there to win us matches (Ba being that guy for us). Bring it on man, its about time the season kicked off.

bimp always gets props from me based on that sarcastic f***ing humor and his posts about his lass the hilarious b******.

Puma are so shit man

this guy

So Sissoko is doing the deal now What exactly does distance left to run mean? Like, this one may still happen but it may take a while (up until end of window) ?

People having a go at eachother at times on here is extremely poor as well. We're all on the same side man.

Ron & Neesy are some of the best on this forum tbh

Pretty much last season's opener then.

I'm still looking forward to the season - the highs and lows are now a normal for us and getting wound up weekly or having pure joy when we have a brilliant goal or match or something. Bring it all on - my expectations are so tempered right now I'm just ready to get on with it now.

Sign Gomis and a LW please.

The fact Obertan still has never realized all he has to do is hit it forward and sprint is beyond me.

Oberspeed

he was onside! (?)

Mapou's dribbling is fucking awesome man
