So they're getting Costa because of a release clause if he wants to come. I think someone mentioned it higher up, but Iago Aspas, Suarez and Costa is the most volatile forward line I've ever heard of. All they need to do is bring Djibril Cisse back from Russia and they will get all of the red cards. They're going to be a boom or bust team this year. I think they'll either put up a legit challenge at top four or crash and burn and be looking for a new manager to lead their "project" by Christmas

This whole thing is bad. Even if its a club or team I hate, the idea of them going out of business or whatever kind of sours it. I root for them to lose, get relegated, but not going out of business.

Love this advert. NBC looks like they'll do a good job. Also, note the fact that Szszesny scored six times. (I spelled that wrong I think)

Are you saying Lambert is better or worse, I'm unsure? It depends how other teams perform as well, I'm not sure we will reach a position that high... Ah sorry should've clarified I'm saying Hes better.

Lambert isn't O'Neill though, and also its only like eight more points or so to get to eighth or ninth than what the team did last year and I'd be surprised if the improvement wasn't that good

22 year old (or maybe 21) Arjen Robben disagrees I think.

Plenty of other clubs fielded younger players than we did last yr. As for JG, hope he continues to work hard on his game, as it would be a shame to see his development falter. Hope he gets to shine for the Irish u21's. Has it definitely been ruled out making the switch to England? They may have fielded younger players, but VIlla were definitely the youngest side in the premier league overall.

Charlton finished last year very strong after being average directly after promotion. They could be a pleasant championship surprise this year, may be a good experience

How do you get a skin into your game? Probably a stupid question but I have no clue how

The level of his technique is crazy for his size, and he seems to get such effortless power on shots along with touch. Of course, Youtube is frequently deceiving, but I've allowed myself to be excited.

Just watching a La Liga recap, Hutton was crying when Mallorca got relegated. I thought that was kind of surprising, especially since he was on loan. Maybe he cares more than we think.

Kinda reminds more of a Carrick than any other player I think. Obviously not as good. Yet.

My guide for how to become a cult hero at an English soccer club. 1. Be better than Barry Bannan 2. Have a (pretty good) beard

I took the same step then managed to fail to win my final 3 games and didn't get promoted. Bowery up top had been magic. :-)

Bollocks. Nobody is going to spend 35mill on a player with 1 seasons premier league experience. To nitlick Carroll only had half a season. God I love Liverpool

I'm sure lambert would be all for it having experienced dortmunds brilliant south stand.

Bollocks. Nobody is going to spend 35mill on a player with 1 seasons premier league experience. Teams have in the past... And Wenger (rightly) isnt the most concerned with experience. That said, I don't think they'd spend that on any player

They didn't spend 25 on honestly a far better option in benteke so had to go for an older less complete player at a similar price in soldado. Good work levy

I can't believe you would turn down that high of a bid, its such a huge risk. If Bale doesn't improve on last year theres no way they'd get near as much next summer. Sell high. Especially for a player that doesn't want to be there.

Yes it could and there's a decent chance they'd get many of the buys wrong but there's a big difference between MON spending eighteen million and avb/levy spending eighty To be fair to MON on this one he wasn't the one that agreed the deal for Ireland. Obviously you all know more than me about this, but I always understood the deal for Ireland was agreed before MON walked out and it was finalized after. So he agreed the transfer the club just completed it after he left. I definitely could be wrong though

I don't understand why managing higher level teams makes you a better manager? Just cause you continually get hired and fail with top flight teams dlesnt make you good. I'd rather have a managaer who succeeds with Gillingham and Hereford than fails continually in the prem and championship

Steve Kean horridness more than makes up for anything positive any Scottish manager has done or does in the next thousand years. I can't even comprehend how you can be that awful

If Suarez isn't worth forty or fifty million then few players are. (ok fine few players are but that's not the point) IMO hes better as a footballer than Cavani because though Cavani is a better pure finisher, Suarez is so great in creating his own chances and chances for others, and he did it on a team that was honestly no better than midtable, and probably would've been bottom half without him. He's definitely a top ten player in the world and if Arsenal pull off the transfer then that's a major coup for them. Liverpool are also screwed, because no matter how much money they get from the sale top players don't want to go there anymore, so who are they going to use the money on?
