SO Liverpool have been heavily linked with Emre Can. Is he any good? Google seems to think so, but it's mostly Bleacher report and Mirror articles.

Yugoslavian style? Of course not.
It has to be Zlatan-style.

I've heard him to be highly rated, but every time I've seen him play he's been gash.

Apparently we're signing M'Baye Niang off of Milan (probably on loan). GG, what's he like?

No idea when this was taken (could have been at the league game) but it is apparently the spurs training ground. Any way all good fun.

It's time to get excited about the best part of the football calendar, that's right it's time for a trawl through the expired contract bargain bin. And what a sizzling selection of freebies we have available this year.

Here's a Premier League list, and a PFA list with Football League players on it. Just think, if you're a struggling manager with not much in the way of funds (or Arsene Wenger), you could make this team

code:

              Speroni

Cuellar    Heitinga   Lescott   A. Cole

J. Cole    Gosling    Barry     Albrighton
           
           Eto'o   Anelka

For the princely sum of gently caress all. Who loves a bargain? Me. I love a bargain player. Snap em up. Lovely jubbly.

e:looks like Gomes is already gone. You need to be fast to bag a bargain in this game

That'd be a solid midtable team until January when the legs fall off all the old players and they plummet into a relegation battle.

He's a perma-crock. He's not physically able to be a regular anywhere. It's not City's fault.

I wish he could remain fit and healthy

. Rumour is that he's supposedly approaching some level of fitness so he may be loaned out, if successful, he can then play a part at City the following season, but I doubt he'll be able to string together more than 1 game a week without his body breaking down again, sadly I just don't see him having a career, he's been failed by biology!

I support the Levs so I have seen him play the entire season. He's definitely a good player but it took him half a season to go from "where do we put him" in the XI (he played pretty much all positions except for striker at some point this season) to "oh wait he's versatile, that's great actually!", with him playing on 8 mostly. I'd love to see him play another season here but I know he has greater ambitions, I just didn't think he'd take off immediately after this season. 12m � seems like a great price for him. Also thanks I guess for buying him so Bayern won't. :v:

Cuadrado is looking likely to leave Serie A this summer, with Barca and Bayern showing interest according to Di Marzio.

Then they're going to immediately loan out Shaw and Pogba in favor of older and more poo poo players while Costa completely loses his goal scoring sense. Shaw and Pogba will never play for the Chelsea first team.

Bayern included a buyback clause and e.g. Rummenigge (chairman) quoted saying

quote:

"We wanted to allow him to make this step so that he gets sufficient match practice, like for example Toni Kroos did in Leverkusen, Philipp Lahm at VfB Stuttgart or even David Alaba in Hoffenheim
