Kroos is class but I think he could do with imposing himself a bit more on games. Some times he seems happy to go through the motions instead of inserting himself when needed to. Not sure if that's because he already plays with some players with top class mentalities in the midfield but he might come into his own at Man Utd if the focus is on him. Man U need someone dominant like, he'll be no use if he likes to Kroos through games.

Toure is such a dickhead Acted like a complete knob the last time they won the league, IIRC.

Isn't this the lad that's meant to be quite a player? Good goalscorer but also technically good footballer that operates more as a second striker?

Isn't he supposed to be quite a high energy player? In the sense that he's good at pressing space and harrying defenders etc. Sounds like he'd be Pards' wet dream with the deadly magic & work ethic combo.

Pretty sure Wenger's fitness methods were cited as a reason for the injuries, he's apparently not changed his philosophy on it, since he arrived.

Think he will, this time. The Ozil signing sent showed the calibre of player they're now after/can compete for and I fancy them to get another 1 or 2 of that level, over the summer. If they get a better starting striker in and someone who can take a grip of the midfield more in the bigger games then I fancy them to do really push for the league next year.

Chuffed to bits for him, he needs to capitalise on the momentum of this.

Eurgh, this is exactly what you get when you have know-nowt businessmen running football clubs. Minging.

His knees have given out. Was told by a doctor that he'd have three years to play at most during his last year at Man United. Ah, well that makes more sense.

Squawka Football @Squawka · 13h Mathieu Debuchy won more tackles (19) inside his own box than any player across Europe's top 5 leagues this season.

Surprised he's retiring as he's seemingly got incredible fitness levels and isn't even that old.

Love Sissoko. Such a positive player with more qualities than many give him credit for. His technique can swing between the sublime and thoroughly average but he offers loads of other stuff.

Messi to Di Santo

Wilshere's a pretty progressive player, like, he's happy to take the game to the opposition. Also has the added bonus of experience in top level games.

Wilshere can be quite a handy box-to-box player and is one of the more intelligent players we've got when it comes to knowing when to slow the game down and when to speed up. I really don't think Barkley is quite ready for the step up in one of the most important parts of the pitch, he should be eased in to the competition.

I think the squad's relatively exciting, myself. Intrigued to see how some of our young attacking talent performs on the big stage. I'm certainly more interested than I have been for a long, long time. Fancy Sterling to really make a big name for himself too.

Hate Dowd, like, he's such a prick. Oh well, better for us if we get humped.

Fuck off and good riddance. Mercenary posing as someone who cares about the club.

Delph's a good player. Offers what Sissoko generally does in terms of always trying to push on but won't be shunted out wide, at least, I don't think he would

One of Shola's was from an absolute peach of a cross and in a side where he was allowed to be the actual front man. De Jong's often been asked to be some sort of deep-lying target man, it's patently not suited to him. Still see something in him, not sure why, he's just obviously not going to at all succeed in this team with his reliance on service and need for confidence.

Same amount as Gerrard, one more than Rooney IIRC. You're always going on about Wayne Rooney. Give it up Froggy, you're never going to meet him.

Why suck it up? Might as well take down every hanger on that's about. That bloke has been given money to copy the work of someone else, he's an utter tit.

Looks like his wife has found someone else and he's not going to rescind what's most likely to be his last big contract. I won't be unhappy with him staying but I don't think he should be a starter anymore.

We need some serious work, like, even if you ignore who's potentially going. We pretty much need players in every area, bar left back. That's probably not going to work well next year. I'd like to see us actually invest in some decent wide men, 3 is the absolute minimum we need to get in to cover that. We need another centre half - I think Caulker would fill that gap - and, of course, we need heavy investment in the striking department. We also could do with another central midfielder and playmaker. Well done to the management at NUFC, short-sighted arseholes.
