SEMTEX

I think people are still grossly overestimating this kid. There's good reason that he hasn't had a sniff anywhere near the first team.

Will collect nearly a quarter of a mill between now and then

Eh, how's Pogrebnyak's contract up? He only signed in January didn't he? ... he had a 6 month contract...

It's not 100% super guaranteed that the players on that PDF are leaving their teams, they're just out of contract at a certain point. Scholes has re-signed for Man Utd for example. So, we may make a last minute offer to sign Smith up for another 6 years.

+ Patrice Bernier !

Awesome. They're coming to Philly on July 14th. He better get there fast.

If they finish above us next season we're down. Only saving grace is that they'd be coming down with us. :yao:

Nahhh. As shit as these players are, the majority of Sweden's players play for mediocre teams in mediocre leagues, and the Ukraine squad is basically Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar mixed together. It doesn't guarantee anything, but the first XI for England should be more than capable of getting at least 4 points from those 2 games. All these fuckers will inevitably come out pretty defensive too, I expect more dross, something like 1-1 and 1-0. I thought the same before the last World Cup and they barely limped thought that group. This is tougher but anything less than 4 points would really be a disgrace imo. I think we could be in a group with Spain, Brazil and The Harlem Globetrotters and we'd still limp through. I also think we could be in a group with Gateshead, NOFC and a team of blind nuns... and we'd still limp through. Limping through is the England way. It's our forté.

Rodgers et al. cost them £7m !? Christ.

Their wages will be mental in comparison I'd imagine, could be wrong though. I dunno, if AC is going for £35m, it's not like he's gonna go in asking for 20k. I think the Chelsea wages will be higher, but I don't think it'll be a massive gulf. Insanity.

Would rather he stayed, but if this is some sort of sign that he'll be replaced by better, or that we think upcoming younger players are just as adequate... then I'm content.

1-10 ft. Nearly. Unlucky lads.

Absolutely ridiculous. I don't really get it myself. He was playing for the champions of France, and was a French International. It's hardly the greatest scouting job to work out that the best team in France has 1 or 2 decent players, yet we get him for nowt.

Why replace an attacking midfielder who would be used as an impact player off the bench... with Jordan Henderson. Why not just replace him with someone like Adam Johnson who can make an impact. Especially as every other winger we have could play in a more central role if needed. Total shite.

Nike/Everton plain black ITS INSPIRED. SO SIMPLE YET SO BEAUTIFUL. Adidas/Real Madrid plain black ... meh... boring

STOP SAYING OPINIONS AND SHIT MAN

Is it that hard to prove if a taxi driver watched you do it and brought you directly to the police station?

Shit hair

It's the 1-2 man. Gooch can't deal with that kind of crazy shit.

PATOGOL 1-4

Should've scored. Pato misses great chance. 1-2 past the defence seems to be the achilles heel of a gooch based back line.

Marcelo is a right pussy bitch

Neymar gol 1-0 Pen Shit pen from gooch handybarl
