Football 2015/16

[eFestivals]

I watched the game that most others seem to have.

Clearly you didn't if you think you watched a typical Sam Allardyce team.

 

The football was no better than Sam's teams.

 

Maybe it's WHU players still on their hols, but if you see that as a bright new dawn the problem is with your eyes and not mine.

[TheGayTent]

Neil you clearly didn't watxh the game yesterday, and/or didn't watch much of Allardyce's tenure at West Ham.

Joey Barton? Didn't see that coming...my first thought is that he's a replacement for Nolan. Or possibly short term cover for Song until he's back fit.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think Leicester played pretty well, scored 4, many more chances. I know it's only Sunderland, who can't defend for shit, but you can only play what's in front of you!

Doncaster hammered Sunderland's first team and beat them 2-0 a few weeks ago, without playing one striker. Their defense couldn't cope at all, and as I said, we didn't have one striker on the pitch. Obviously that's pre-season, but I doubt they'll have improved that much in the last couple of weeks.

Sounds like Rondon has gone to WBA - which presumably opens up the way for Berahino's move to Tottenham? Unless they need to shift Adebayor or Soldado first?

... which presumably opens up the way for Berahino's move to Tottenham? ...

 

which presumably opens up the way for Kane to Utd?

Hopefully, but he'll cost a fortune.

yup. English and all that. Could end up making Sterling's transfer price look less of a punt.

 

There's a lot of surplus strikers kicking around at the mo, to add to the unwanted's at Spurs, Liverpool have two too. I saw Borini linked to WHU in the last few days, anything to that one TGT?

Not that I've heard. Though I'm sure he'd be considered if the Hernadez deal doesn't come off...

Not a huge admirer of Borini.

I have a feeling Kane will stay at Tottenham this season, no idea why, just a feeling.

Oh I've read plenty of newspaper stuff, but nothing concrete like with Hernandez

I'd have thought kane leaving would wait till next summer if at all. Spurs would need his goals. ..

Euro year. Big transfers are only really likely for players not getting game time. Not as major as wc years obviously but still a factor.

For kane being main man at Spurs is enough for him to be in the England team

As opposed to risking a move not working out yes

[TheGayTent]

When aguerro's fully rested after the Copa America he isn't going to find it difficult to get back into the side is he...

[pink_triangle]

If I was Man Utd I would want to see him doing it over more than one season before handing over huge sums of money. At present he is a player with 1 prolific season, who had failed to impress at previous loan spells. While I accept the argument that he is young and developing, I wouldn't yet discount the possibility of last season being a fluke either. Is he Marus Stewart, Kevin Phillips or Alan Shearer, Im yet to make up my mind.

United won't sign kane.

Aguero wouldn't struggle getting into any side in the world. Best striker in the prem by a country mile, would only place messi and ronaldo above him as best player in the world.

Amazed barca or Madrid haven't had a sniff. Even United, wack a massive bid in as its just what they need.

[TheGayTent]

My comment was obviously too subtle !

[Gucci Piggy]

Expected Madrid to be in for him the past two Summers. Him and Suarez are definitely the best out and out strikers there are.

[kaosmark2]

I fully expect Real to sign Aguero at some point in the next couple of years.

 

Still be surprised if Kane moves this year.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Can't complain..

Played off the park 1st half.. Doubt berahino will be going anywhere, irrelevant of rondon signing, he ain't got an agent at the mo'

[pink_triangle]

Im looking forward to seeing Shaquiri. Im not sure whether Stoke will gel, but they have definitely brought in some interesting players.

Ideye, Anichebe, Lambert, Berahino, Rondon.

One of them has to be off don't they?

[Osama Jim Laden]

Ideye, Anichebe, Lambert, Berahino, Rondon.

Agreed.. There's been talk of ideye or anichebe being sold all summer, dependant on a buyer really.. Personally think it'll be ideye, can't see anyone coming in for Vic after all the injuries he's had
