Out of last season's outstanding players, one has left the league, two are struggling with a new set-up. That leaves the skilful prick as the only settled one. Fully expect Suarez's price to soar now.

Glad I didn't captain Ozil over Suarez.

Must have read the forums.

I did it but must not have posted it (though I remember doing so). It's on an excel sheet on another computer. Not much changed. Lawro was third. any danger! how much are we paying u! It was just something that came to mind. You don't have to act an arse for it.

Good read that.

GW8 been updated yet?

Guess what? Last year of contract. Even with compensation the fee shouldn't be too high.

Yeah, all those will come with time as he adapts properly. Only thing is that defence is kinda our weak spot atm and he won't be given the luxury of bedding in easily without a regular CB partner and his FB(s) finding his feet in the team too.

Dunno about you but MYM reads a game pretty darn well for me. The only thing he's lacking now is adapting to his back four and this league.

Hypothetically, in what circumstances would you not want to? It's such a small area. Check this out, thought it was f***ing genius myself and then the c*** linesman flags to get it ruled out after letting play carry on a good ten seconds. Doesn't need to leave the quadrant btw, becomes active as soon as touched after the whistle. Was interested to see if anyone else knew the rule as I wasn't sure initially. Rooney and Giggs did the same trick against Chelsea. Disallowed by the ref too. Edit: Their ball was outside the quadrant and the linesman raised his flag immediately. Not quite the same situation I guess.

Luuk de Jong doesn't seem to have done well in Germany so far.

It's either our current crest or the Red Bull template though. I personally can't accept the latter and believe that most of us won't too.

They went to that extent to put their initials on the club's name. There won't be any doubt they will be looking to put their brand on any PL club they buy as they did for their 4 other clubs.

What are the rules regarding a name change like? The PL rejected Hull City's change and the last known instance I know of was MK Dons some time back. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2387625/Premier-League-refuse-endorse-Hull-City-Tigers-change.html Kit colours changes are obviously within the club's right seeing that Cardiff changed theirs. Fwiw changes to the club name, colours and crest are a no go for me. I wouldn't fancy a stadium change to Red Bull Arena as they have done for their other clubs but could take it as a compromise. Red Bull Newcastle, RB colours and RB Newcastle crest though, they can take their money elsewhere. The moment we allow that, we effectively compromise any remaining morsel of our club identity imo.

He won't get sacked in the next 2, 3 years unless it's something disastrous like no CL qualification or trophies for those years. They will give him ample time to stamp his mark even if the fans want his blood.

Enrique, Zabaleta not playing means MYM as my 2nd sub will come in. Travesty that Gerrard get the 3 bonus points.

Was very naive of him to pull at Suarez who was always going to make the most out of it. Tiote though, what was he doing coming back from so far back, subsequently playing Suarez onside. If he had some positional sense, MYM would not have got caught out.

They've only like 11 matches together and that mostly along a new right back, backup left back and goalie. You'll find that it generally takes much more than that to form a solid back 4.

i know we still have spent nothing but i think we all probabily agree there is some intent here My source was the son of our Derek looks like he was right DDUK was right on that occasion tbf. Although how much Llambias is involved in Ashley's business atm including any potential sale of the club is questionable.

Interestingly for all the cosmopolitan nature of the PL players, most clubs seem adverse to appointing managers outside the British Isles. http://i.imgur.com/xS7kvJ3.png We only had two 'foreign' managers in our entire history fwiw.

Tbf I see nothing contrary in what he said. He should be well aware in his capacity that Januzaj is never going to play for England though.
