That's the tag line for our summer.

Agreed I don't want Barry starting. And I like that 433 as well, that could be very nice with pace on the wings.

Everton 1 - 0 Watford Barkley (If I win which is highly unlikely donate to the site as well)

Glad to see Chelsea lose the shield to arsenal. Let's hope that sets the tone for their season.

Now that the community shield had been played for the season is upon us!! Here's what I would like to see as the lineup. Howard Coleman Stones Jags Baines McCarthy Barkley Duelofeu Cleverley Mirallas Lukaku

You're missing the point Steve. It's a simple prediction thread. I was way off last year had picked Sunderland qpr and soton due to their sell off. It's fun

Dammit Romey only confirmed stories in this thread

Always a fun one this. I understand the transfer window isn't done yet but let's see some early predictions and feel free to modify after the deadline. Norwich Watford Sunderland

It would be great though wouldn't it. Maybe next year we can sell them stones and get Rooney as part of the deal. That way he would still have a little left in the tank. We couldn't afford those wages though.

Are you serious? FFS kill that dentist already Zimbabwe and take his money and use it to fix up your infrastructures

Missed the match today was watching my son. Anyone look good?

The only part he missed was the BJ he gave mou after it was over.

i will hold my tongue on 5 guys till after you've had it, please post your thoughts tomorrow.

id love to do the double on those bastards this year.

that one is better. the profit/loss without player trading is the most harrowing. it's all loss except 2 years. Any CEO/business person would be fired instantly for those results a few years in a row, this has been over a decade and a half and it's considered ok. it's not ok. the thought mentioning TV money should now negate the payday loan is spot on, and i will be monitoring that to see what happens. i am looking forward to parts 3 and 4.

:shaking fist: fine filipe luis replacement i gather. if they can afford that for a bench warmer, they should pay 80m for stones.

I follow Nantes because they have american alejandro bedoya. Veretout is a solid player and a good signing. I think he will be a smart player for them.

Dzeko to Roma.

no thanks, 7m is a lot for a washed up striker. aiden mccgeady money at 2m and why not, but for 7m we could get byram future RB.

Yeah zelalem looks like that creative player we need so Bradley can go back to being the destroyer. Remember gyau? He was injured but was starting to show some promise as well.

He's behind 2 of the top wingers in the world in Robben and ribery, and now Douglas costa. Of course he's not going to see time at bayern, he's still only 21!! Another loan and his confidence could be shattered, this is best. Tear it up with reserves all year get to playing top football and then go on loan next year and then year after that they either sell him or keep him for the first team. Being a castoff at a big club isn't a bad thing. look at all the Madrid and barca players who can't crack the first team, go elsewhere and tear it up and are bought back.

Sorry I didn't explain myself. I don't think the board is doing anything illegal, on the contrary their accountants are top notch (so are the mobs, their books are always decent). But money can disappear legally through a partnership with a trade vendor and paying double what the other vendor would have paid and then getting a kickback on the end, etc. I live in a very corrupt city and you would be surprised but everyone has their books in order and it's all legit. They just use the laws and find the loopholes. We took out an additional 10m in loans even though we'd just gotten 80m in sky money. All legal no doubt and I'm sure the reason was sufficient for auditors, but I'm sure the owner of the loan is Robbie earl or associates. Same with other operating costs. All above board yes we did have to pay for that, but we had similar amount of employees so how does 10m increase make sense? Well I'm sure their reason and the song and dance routine were sufficient for auditor, but that doesn't mean people (board members) aren't making out on the other end or that the beneficiaries no matter how convoluted couldn't benefit them. Could be a simple we give you the meat pies and you help out my other business in xyz way. Doesn't show on the books all legal no problems with audit, but that doesn't stop stuff mate. You ever wonder why the mob isn't busted? Good accountants and the like. They know it's laundered, but there's no proof and the books are solid.

http://www.espnfc.us/story/2541905/united-states-winger-julian-green-will-stay-at-bayern-munich i think that's the best course of action.

yeah total trainwreck in defense, both reds were defenders. 2-2 the final score. soton up a comfortable 2-0.
