they trippin westbrook.jpg

im confident he will come.. Im hearing 30 for strootman, which would just emphasize how horrible woodward is.. could have had him 17 mil last summer

30, naw homie. We sold Lamela for 30, Macos for 30 and Osvalso for 15. Other than the knee why would he be any cheaper than say 40? But hey throw in chicha and we can make it happen.

USA 30-man roster:

GOALKEEPERS: Tim Howard (Everton), Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

DEFENDERS: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Clarence Goodson (San Jose Earthquakes), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Columbus Crew), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)

MIDFIELDERS: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Maurice Edu (Philadelphia Union), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)

FORWARDS: Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)


The only player I care to make the final squad is Wondolowski. Dude is criminally underrated and honestly, I think Jozy is a bum more often than not (Fernando Torres-esque)

no eddie johnson?

da fuk?

 

[MetalMario]

market was inflated last summer.. with all the FFP factors no one is paying 30 mil for a player who is coming off such a huge injury.. take your 20 and b happy

United will pay 30, or more. In fact, United will probably overpay for every single players.

-United have lost CL
-It's internationally known that United has a big budget, and is in desperate need of an overhaul
-It's known that United has commercial obligations that it must meet.
-It's known that Woodward is an idiot, and amateur in this game.

Fans are going to have to quickly understand, today is not the past where United held more power in the negotiating, these days, United have the short end of the stick.

At this point, it doesn't matter overpaying for players, just get them in.

Leicester City: Billionaire owner 'will spend £180m' to make top five

Newly-promoted Leicester City's owner wants a top-five finish in the Premier League within three years - and will spend the money needed to get there.
The Championship title winners have returned to the top flight after a decade-long absence.
Billionaire Thai chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha outlined the club's next steps to reporters in Bangkok.

He said: "It will take a huge amount of money, possibly 10bn Thai Baht (£180m), to get there. That doesn't put us off."

In light of the NBA taking such swift action, it makes these football associations/leagues look inept & worse tolerant of these racist incidents. I kinda understand (but disagree) with the small fine La Liga handed out to Villarreal being as though many of the teams are in bad shape financially, but something has to be done.

In other less serious news, new Nike ad with Rooney...

This is awesome... A vid campaign to get Ibra to the World Cup in reaction to his quote earlier this year where he said a World Cup without him wasn't worth watching.

Vid features the likes of Ronaldo, Dani Alves, Bebeto, Anderson Silva, & more... #VEMIBRA indeed.

It's funny, Zlatan has become my son's favorite player. If he's not watching minecraft vids, he's watching Ibra highlights. Great thing about it is that he's been loosely working on his first touch in the back yard to mimick Zlatan's...

 

[Beans]

lol why can i see ibra with a single one word reply... NO!

Januzaj
Mirallas must be pissed...

Belgium got no world-class fullbacks though...

 

[leavemeglazzies]

I don't understand how a team that has been hyped up as much as these dudes can at the same time be underdogs? This squad has been hyped up so much by low key experts that anything short of a semi-final would be a disappointment and anything short of a quarter final would be a catastrophe. And all because they have a lot of players in the Premiership. Don't people know that there is one other nation that has had more, many more EPL superstars playing for them over past many years and they haven't done jack **** in the WC since forever?

 That Ibra campaign vid is awesome.

 

[ROYGBiV]

Wtf? Thorgan and Radja the God are on standby?

Casteels needs to be bought up by a big team. He's next up.

And that right there my friends, is probably why Belgium will play attacking beautiful football, but will lose to other top teams.

glad mata and DDG made it too.. wonder if thiago will be fit in time

One might emerge. Players always emerge during these tournaments.

Nobody knew who Jordi Alba was before Euro 2012 unless you were an avid LaLiga follower.

Plus Eden can always shift down to Left Back with the way Jose has trained him.

 honestly don't see how they play in Italy.....such a beautiful country filled w/ ugly souls 

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ For each person it's different but if I were one of those footballers or an NBA Clippers player, I wouldn't play until something substantial was done. I'm talking huge fine, points reduction, ultras being banned for life, sections closed for x # of matches, & squad reduction... All of it. It should be swift & the punishment has to be harsh.

In something a bit more up lifting... Check out the touch from this English League 1 player from Preston.
