You'll probably see a significant difference in % converted chances between this season and last too. Cisse was close to scoring from almost every opportunity last season, while he hasn't hit the same heights this season.

Hmm, that's officially their new national team kit? Weird to see the 'all support for Japan' if so.
Fwiw this kit takes some beating.

May manage outside PL if there are no suitable offers. Also doesn't mind waiting for the right job to come along.
Mentions there are already interested clubs too.
Doesn't the Bosman ruling apply only within the EU, and Santos being obviously not part of that entitled to compensation even if Neymar's contract runs out?
Fergie is still around. He will give a wake-up call to the players if need be. Man U will still be in the mix although Mourinho and Pellegrini will mean it's a more competitive season.
It being a WC year may be a deciding factor in the players' thoughts. Of course we hold their contracts and all that, but every often you'll find that it's sorta pointless keeping a player when his heart is not here anymore.
Think there was an article saying we will not be bringing in another GK in the summer, with Alnwick as 3rd choice going out on loan for needed experience.
Timber against a team who loves their low placed shots. Gonna be a massacre.
At least it gives us an appropriate setting to get those 'Pardew out' chants and bedsheets.
