I knew we would get big team on the first day. We must atone for last season's shambles at OT, this time we should bother to mark Fellaini.
Overall fixtures aren't too bad, big matches mostly spread out.

Just fucking abolish international football
By Lightning Go To PostNot bad fixtures but a couple of tough games early. Liverpool and Chelsea early and if Chile do well we won't have Alexis Sanchez at the start of our season.
Since when did we become the enemy?
We have to unite and destroy Chelsea.
Shit! yeah, I forgot. Lets do that. We should have made Milner go to you guys, that way our chances of stopping Chelsea would be 10 fold what they are now.
By Ushojax Go To PostI knew we would get big team on the first day. We must atone for last season's shambles at OT, this time we should bother to mark Fellaini.Your fixtures aren't bad, Your end season fixtures are harder than ours though and kinda tough when you may have to win many of them.

From April you have
Liverpool away
United home
Stoke away
West Brom home
Chelsea away
Southampton home
Newcastle away
That's a tough run in.
By Dan Go To PostShit! yeah, I forgot. Lets do that. We should have made Milner go to you guys, that way our chances of stopping Chelsea would be 10 fold what they are now.What you need to do is stop Aguero going to Madrid and buy Sterling from Liverpool.
Milner's a decent player but 30 years old this season. Not worth spending a lot of money on him.
Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC 9m9 minutes ago
It has been suggested to me that £35.5m represents City's last bid. Would already make Sterling world's most expensive teenager
Would be interesting. Doubt it is their final offer tho.

But sources say the manager has not yet fully settled on the ideal defensive midfield target
Err...
Why not?

Im sure he already said he has passed off his "list"
Who knows, could do with some solid connections though, this is all getting a bit slow

Enough reports linking us to Schneiderlin that I think it's pretty concrete.
Brought my PS4 up to my uni flat for the sole purpose of downloading the 10GB update file, since my home internet is 400kbps. That's fine, when it's downloaded it's a pretty great game now that I can access leaderboards/challenges/multiplayer and there's a fair bit of free DLC.
Wake up this morning and there's a new fucking update file, only it's stuck at 'preparing download' and you can't play in the background.

By nate Go To PostEnough reports linking us to Schneiderlin that I think it's pretty concrete.Yeah, fairly certain the clubs are talking, may just take some time tho.
Sterling won't be the difference between City winning the league and not, even though he's a big upgrade on Navas. He may become a player like that in a few years, but that's the £40m question innit

Lol. Yeah confused me at first you can play as long as you were 21 at the atatt of the qualifying period.

This Sony Latam Woman
SO FUCKING HOT
Tricky start for Chelsea with away fixtures we don't usually do well in like Man City, Everton, West Brom and Newcastle. Can see us being "in trouble" by the end of September. Winter period could be a lot worse though.
By Plasma Go To PostJust seen our fixtures, we have to play everyone in the league twice? Fixed.Just think of it like the knockout stages of the champions league where you have the home leg & away leg, except this time you'll actually win sometimes.
By fadetoblack Go To PostWait so Berardi isn't playing for us and is going back to Shanksuolo next year but Zaza is? Fuck"Juventus & Sassuolo have reached an agreement for the transfer of Zaza & Berardi to Turin for €28m. [@romeoagresti]"
Who to believe?
have any of you guys ever wanted to head an imaginary ball into a virtual net amongst various other objects?
if so, boy do i have good news for you
if so, boy do i have good news for you
5 away opening fixtures in a row, Arsenal get 5 home fixtures to open the season in a row.
IS A DISGRACE

By Zabojnik Go To Post"Juventus & Sassuolo have reached an agreement for the transfer of Zaza & Berardi to Turin for €28m. [@romeoagresti]"
Who to believe?
My sources tell me that both sides value Zaza at 1 million with half of Berardi at 27 million. Total value of Berardi at the age of 20 is 54 million euros :p
Agresti is pretty decent and that is how it was going anyway until rumours to the contrary came up yesterday/today.
Agresti also saying Mandzukic has given his word to Juve. Sounds like it's a done deal if Tevez ultimately decides to leave. End of the week.
Meanwhile, all this Pogba for €80m talk to Barca or Man City. I'd be tempted to say we should take it and reinvest it in new players like the Zidane sale, but I'm just not sure a) we have the balls to reinvest that amount of money in the market anymore (Dybala aside, I guess), b) we could buy an adequate MF replacement in this summer's mercato
Although if Pirlo stays, as apparently he is, then.... maybe we don't need one?

Juve needed Verretti at all costs. I would ship Pogba off in an instance. Straight up swap if need be. Verratti is the far more important player although Pogba is the better overall player.
Out:
Sterling
Gerrard
Enrique
Coates
Balotelli
Lambert
Borini
Johnson
Jones
In:
Milner
Bogdan
Ings
Benteke
Clyne
Kovacic
Origi
Ilori
I could live with that. Wouldn't be massively happy with the depth/quality in centreback, leftback and defensive midfield. We'd also have a fairly large spend I think, we'd be lucky to get £14m for those players aside from Sterling
Another summer overhaul, necessary thoug

What does "far more important player" mean in the context of Verratti NOT being the better player?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We should just buy everyone.
As for the 'we sold Berardi with an first to buy option' rumors, until I see some proof, it's just Yurt being a mercato terrorist.

Going to be great when Brenton gets Moyes'd in December. Going to be even better when they clamour for Klopp and he says 'no' whilst trying to contain his laughter.
