ChaosGladiator 806 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm just gonna keep my hopes low for summer transfer market. Despite the numerous crap I've heard from Wenger and Arsenal I can't see us landing anyone that would make us title contenders again. We'll probably end up with useless players like Andre getthefuckoutofArsenal Santos or something terribad like that again. I know our new kit sponsores said they would try to get us Balotelli, which would be epic! Despite his horrid attitude in City I think he's grown a lot and would be good for us. I'd also love to see Cesc back, but can't really see it happening. Although him rejoining us is more likely then him going to United (lol) but who the fuck knows with Wengers tight iron grip on the Arsenal wallet. Also I think Belgium will be a massive suprise in the world cup. Dries Mertens is amazing. Love to watch him play. They should have brought in Benteke as well though, or is he injured like Falcao?

phil bottle 9,562 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Defoe, cracks me up but he didn't get a fair go this season and I don't blame him for leaving..Toronto though? lol Sherwood, despite his win ratio, I am glad has been let go. Poor man manager and he upset the fans with is treatment of Sandro, everyone loves Sandro. Looking forward to Belgium in the WC they'll be fun to watch...but agree with Rich, England are good going forward butt that's the weakest defence they have ever brought to a tournament. This will be the first world cup in living memory - or perhaps ever - where England doesn't expect England to challenge. Maybe that's a good thing, less pressure and a little less ego is always a good thing. tronic44 and J4MES OX4D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbers Crack 4,033 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Belgium take 2 forwards to the world cup! I know Hazard and Januzaj can play further up but dang! Still got a proper decent looking team! Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois (Atletico Madrid, on loan from Chelsea), Simon Mignolet (Liverpool), Koen Casteels (Hoffenheim), Silvio Proto (Anderlecht). Defenders: Toby Alderweireld (Atletico Madrid), Laurent Ciman (Standard Liege), Nicolas Lombaerts (Zenit St Petersburg), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City), Daniel Van Buyten (Bayern Munich), Anthony Vanden Borre (Anderlecht), Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal), Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham). Midfielders: Nacer Chadli, Mousa Dembele (both Tottenham), Steven Defour (Porto), Kevin De Bruyne (Wolfsburg), Marouane Fellaini, Adnan Januzaj (both Manchester United), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Kevin Mirallas (Everton), Divock Origi (Lille), Axel Witsel (Zenit St Petersburg). Forwards: Romelu Lukaku (Everton, on loan from Chelsea), Dries Mertens (Napoli). Standby: Sebastien Pocognoli (Hannover), Radia Nainggolan (Roma), Thorgan Hazard (Zulte Waregem, on loan from Chelsea), Guillaume Gillet (Anderlecht), Michy Batshuayi, Jelle Van Damme (both Standard Liege). I think Jelle's brother Jean Claude should be in the squad as well J4MES OX4D and tronic44 2 Thanks to Capn_Underpants for the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's a good thing, less pressure and a little less ego is always a good thing. I know a few Spurs supporters who are happy to see him go, i must admit i did wonder where Sandro had gone to this season. He was one of your best players last season, was a rock in midfield and never really knew why he didn't play him. I was always surprised Defoe didn't play that often, he always seemed to come on and score but then be on the bench the next game. We'll definitely have to link up for these England games, have a feeling we'll throw a party every time there's one on You playing tomorrow? I'm there if you are!

uberwarrior 373 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Samir Nasri left out of the French squad and no room for Tevez for Argentina.

phil bottle 9,562 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 French will be tough to beat, so long as they're all getting on, which, seeing as they are French, is extremely unlikely Nasri, though, I bet there's a few thousand gooners chuckling to themselves. tronic44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,562 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 We should do a FG predictions for the world cup final and winner. Plus where you think England will get. For me: Final teams: Brazil Germany Winner: Brazil England Placing: Will not get out of group stages. Yep, that's fairly obvious final choices and winner...and pretty pessimistic on the England..hope I'm proved wrong. tronic44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
