bye bye tevez. im glad that united at least tried to keep him.

cant wait to see who replaces him...

6/22/2009 1:09:28 AM

I'm betting Benzema

6/22/2009 1:14:55 AM

im not even sure who id like to replace tevez right now...benzema or huntelaar are my 2 favorite choices...i just hope they dont fall into this overpay for players crap

I too have heard this

in this case, the label "Lolverpool" would probably be appropriate

ESPN won the bidding for Setanta's 46 games. What this means for American viewers I have no idea at the moment.

Glen Johnson to Lolverpool finally....



but it looks like Arbeloa and Alonso to Real Madrid, and most likely Mascherano to Barca unless lolverpool double his salary



ahahahahahha smooth move, Benitez.

I thought spain's economy was doing terribly....their clubs are spending big dough to get talent from the EPL and abroad......wtf..

6/23/2009 10:54:23 AM

im reading that barca and madrid are interested in masch

6/23/2009 11:30:37 AM

I don't get how Masch/Alonso possibly leaving is any reflection on Benitez

6/23/2009 1:33:19 PM

.......



typical



lolverpool fans just don't see it




I wish I had some Rafa colored glasses

6/23/2009 1:50:28 PM

lol fill me in please

are you saying the 17 mil (less than 10 actually because some was on credit) spent on Johnson would have covered the salary difference needed to keep Alonso/Masch in Liverpool?

or are you going to go with the bullshit playing time/rotation policy excuse for them wanting to leave too?

6/23/2009 1:59:44 PM

It's not bullshit if they're on flights to Spain, now is it?

6/23/2009 3:08:19 PM

I never said it's bullshit that they're leaving or might leave...

I'm just saying there's no way you can put this on him (I'm not even a big Rafa supporter, I just think he takes too much blame for shit) - there's no doubt to me this situation is all about


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$



and not anything to do with Rafa

[Edited on June 23, 2009 at 3:15 PM. Reason : .]

6/23/2009 3:15:11 PM

I'd wager it's down to silverware, not $$$$


and that certainly is on Rafa

6/23/2009 3:17:16 PM

oh well I think they're both staying and just trying to get raises but you never know


I'd like to see Liverpool get Ruud

Deco recently:

Quote :

"It's no secret that Portugal and Chelsea playmaker Deco wants to leave. To make things even clearer, he told UK media sources : "I did not enjoy my time at Chelsea. This club is just Roman Abramovich's toy .... I also did not appreciate the fact that coach Felipe Scolari was fired". Deco's departure this summer is unavoidable and Inter Milan remain the favourites to sign him."

Quote :

"Arsenal have offered Emmanuel Adebayor to AC and Inter Milan to prevent the 25-year-old from joining Chelsea."

Quote :

"Michael Essien's agent - Fabien Piveteau - has alarmed Chelsea by claiming the Ghana midfielder would be interested in a move to Spain. "

Quote :

"Zlatan Ibrahimovich's agent has suggested that the forward is likely to start next season as a Chelsea player."

liverpool appear to be losing a lot of spanish players to barca and real...mostly just rumors i suppose

man city are still trying to buy everyone for way too much, this time signing eto'o for a ridiculous number ive heard and will make him the highest paid player in the epl....

united look closer to getting benzema


oh and i dont really like Man Utd's new home kit next season...big black chevron on the front of the red uni's...just looks weird to me over top of the logo...

haha the dutch exodus. its already been said before but im still lolling at it.

Agreed. It detracts from the classic look of the Man U jersey.

Chelsea's new away jersey however, is hot fire

I can't get an image to link from kitbag so just got there and look at it

so enchilada brought with him the milan look?? except the wrong milan....lol

6/30/2009 1:44:54 PM

you think that trash looks good?

that shit is outrageously ugly to me

6/30/2009 1:54:15 PM

it looks like the generic kit you can make on older soccer games like fifa 98...not to mention its inter milan's stripes just turned 90 deg...

6/30/2009 1:55:50 PM

Looks too similar color wise to their home kit IMO. Not sure what the hell they were going for, I'm not really feeling it either. Their home kit looks even gayer with the random seams and faux zipper.

6/30/2009 1:56:10 PM

i just looked at the home kit...and yeah it does look pretty gay. i dont get why they stitched up the seams throughout the chest area...

6/30/2009 2:02:48 PM

haha I just looked at it too... shit looks like a cycling jersey or something

I think the best new jerseys in EPL that I've seen are those Arsenal aways

6/30/2009 2:14:33 PM

i just looked at arsenal away and its a polo...ive never been a fan of jerseys with a zipper, button, etc...i like the t-shirt look to jerseys. one of my club teams while i was growing up had a polo type jersey and i just hated the way it felt, plus it looks retarded. im running on the field tackling people gettin dirty and having my shirt tugged at all the time...its not a tennis or golf match...

6/30/2009 2:31:57 PM

i like that new chels away jersey

6/30/2009 2:35:20 PM

man utd finally sign Valencia from wigan. looks around 16 mil pounds for the winger

6/30/2009 2:43:46 PM

i dont know what yall are talking about

that kit looks awesome

6/30/2009 4:08:16 PM

it doesnt look anything special...sadly you will have to see that cheesy lookin home jersey more often though...and prob will see the 3rd jersey more than the away jersey since both home and away are blue jerseys, stupidly enough

6/30/2009 4:16:13 PM

lol Benzema to Madrid?

We'll take your best player and your top target, motherfuckers

7/1/2009 7:48:56 AM

this is getting ridiculous

benzema is great but i feel like madrid is selling their soul to the devil right now

what happens when barca take la liga again next year?

also, is there any significance to the 8 shirt that was given to kaka? i know at big clubs sometimes they do that for different historical reasons

7/1/2009 8:23:44 AM

Chelsea-Celtic FC


The Hoopensioners




If Benzema goes to Madrid I'm gonna be kind of pissed. I don't think the 8 number has any significance for Real, but I could be wrong.

7/1/2009 9:47:39 AM

10 and 22 were taken.

7/1/2009 9:49:34 AM

LOLnited

7/1/2009 1:46:38 PM

hah. fuck benzema then. bring on huntelaar!

7/1/2009 1:50:44 PM

Michael Owen's avaaaaiilableeeee

7/1/2009 1:54:18 PM

well you can take him back for lolverpool. that dude is damaged goods.

7/1/2009 2:03:03 PM

haha I know

I want Ruud at Liverpool so he's finally on a team that I don't hate

plus he's a very cheap option for a back-up who scores goals

I mostly like him because of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJmlwTGyKaQ

[Edited on July 1, 2009 at 2:11 PM. Reason : ruuuuuuuud]

7/1/2009 2:08:57 PM

you know why he did that right?

7/1/2009 2:16:19 PM

yeah, that's why it's even more baller than him just being an asshole

7/1/2009 2:19:45 PM

i was just reading the message boards on manutd.com

there are some real idiots on there. people saying valencia is better than ribery. people saying united should get balotelli over anyone else...any everyone is in love with aguero now that benzema is off the table.

im glad im a fan from usa and dont have multiple friends to hear about this day in and day out, cause i bet it gets pretty moronic over in england
