Deuce

Orlando getting fucked from all sides. I also read they won't play any of their SKC loanees (Dwyer, Songo'o, Duke, Kempin) against SKC in the U.S. Open Cup. So there goes their shot at advancing.

But he's from ENGURLAND.

Hell of a lot nicer than the Liverpool efforts.

Didn't know Mole and Sewelly are mackems. Meant to offer a compliment, instead offered an insult.

They'll definitely need to attract a "star" player. I'd put my money on Kaka or Lampard.

He gets a lot of flak but he'd be a good addition. Unless he decides the league is beneath him and pulls a Rafa Marquez. Except Rafa Marquez was legitimately shit, whether he wanted to be or not.

I'd put-in bids for Sinclair and Guidetti.

Not sure if posted yet... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/may/28/tactical-trends-2012-13 Written by Mole or Sewelly, I assume.

I'm not sure if he's a player who'd benefit from heading overseas. Strikes me as a pro-typical MLS player. I think he's definitely talented enough to play in a European league, but I'm not sure he's not just better suited to sticking around stateside.

Good shout, BC. Wouldn't hurt to go gangbusters and select a young team, even if it resulted in a poorer showing.

That prelim Gold Cup roster is a wild clusterfuck of players. Based off that, I'd go: Johnson Gonzalez Besler Parkhurst Castillo Beckerman Torres Corona Zusi Donovan Gomez Though I don't think there's any way we'll see Corona, Johnson or Torres starting, unfortunately.

Team bonding.

Some Northern Irish wazzock I know loves Danny Simpson because he "made 5 goal line clearances" the other season, as though that's the absolute benchmark of being a good defender. Absolute moron. I've come to accept that most football fans are complete and utter morons. This board is definitely not a microcosm of society (and yes, I do think there is a higher level of football intelligence here than in society at large).

God that'd be depressing... Cisse Gouffran Marveaux Ben Arfa Cabaye Sissoko So that's 6 players whose best formation is definitely not a 4-4-2. Obertan and Shola are more suited for a 4-4-2 than any of those players.

Stoke have been among the top spenders in the transfer market in recent years, haven't they? Doesn't bode well, giving Hughes free-reign to dish out cash.

Well I know you do, as there's no tackling thunderbastard in it. But most everyone else would love it.

Give me a midfield 3 of Cabaye-Sissoko-Anita and be done with it. That's all I ask.

Is there a particular reason we have a dedicated Liverpool thread?

Chelsea need Aguero.

Aye, just not playing for Chelsea.

And doing it several times over.

Look who... [move]http://www.101greatgoals.com/wp-content/gallery/gimages/blgqww5caaiofcp.jpg[/move] ...wins again.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 1h Chelsea will bid 30m € + Torres for Cavani, according to Sky Italy

Everyone knows the first £50m is just for practice.
