Earthy Ape Unit: Jun 17, 2014; by XyloJW

This is the year the Chels probably takes the league and football truly dies but City finally goes somewhere in the CL, resurrecting football. They were one dumb Demichelis tackle away from a good result against Barca (pronounced with a lisp) and he's actually a solid PL defender now.

Also Dzeko is out for blood after Bosnia's unjust early exit from the FIFA WC.

the above is a bad opinion. he was hurt from April on with a hamstring injury and still scored 36 goals. he's quality.

How many goals would he needed to have scored to make you feel that he was good 50? 70? 69?

His injury saga doesn't make him a better prospect, I'm just afraid he's gonna suffer from severe chelsea striker syndrome. If he would have stayed at madrid it would have been a different story altogether.

As a Costa watcher, I can say that's he's not as good as you'd think. He scored a ton of goals with his head because La Liga defenders can't defend against that

Do Arsenal fans feel betrayed by Cesc?

I'm not happy with him tbh. Arsenal don't need him anymore because there's no point in him fighting with Ozil for a starting spot, so Wenger made the right call in passing on him. Despite that, he chose to go play for Mourinho at Chelsea, a combination no Arsenal fan likes. He's going to get a lot of well-deserved hate when he visits the Emirates this season (assuming he's not benched at that point for not defending enough).

I'm just now remembering two years ago when Liverpool asked Adidas for �20m a year and Adidas laughed at them and called them a mid-table fail club

If only Ewar Woowar could sign an actual player he'd actually be good at his job

I have no idea if Alexis Sanchez is the missing piece that Arsenal needs but it's going to be fun as f*ck to watch in this poster's opinion.

With Toure reportedly unhappy with the club over their failure to properly acknowledge his birthday, there is speculation that he might leave City this summer, leaving a large hole to fill in Manuel Pellegrini's midfield.

they also sent Toure to Dubai to do a match of something at the end of the season instead of letting him spend time with his brother who was literally dying so that might be a bigger problem

Eventually even Chelsea is going to sign a star striker who is going to be good. Advanced stats and all that, they're like 1 for 8 in the last decade.

With Manchester United only having to focus on domestic duties while Liverpool are in Europe - and without the services of Suarez - it would not surprise me if ManU finished in the top 4 again while Liverpool slipped to a Europa League spot.

Liverpool is going to win the Champion's League.

It won't be happening this summer if it does, city have a �49mil transfer cap and Juventus would be mental to ask for anything less than �60mil.

PSG already offered that much and they rejected it so it'll have to be more or with a player.
