seriously another striker/midfeilder for CHE?

 

you mean another striker for TOT,

 

pavulyechnko. russian striker who was the teams top scorer this years EUROS. juande seems to have unlimited cash, yet he still cant bring his team together.

[biggyprox]

yeah, and we were thinking that tottenham would be top competitors for the premier league this season. clearly, they have to get rid of berbatov. he's deadwood and will slowly drag tottenham to the bottom with him on board. i'm finally coming to terms with man utd aquiring him. if they want him badly, then sign him. i just dont know what would happen to their line up once everybody gets fit. will berbatov play alongside rooney, tevez, n ronaldo, all at the same time? or will he just be another anelka?

real won't be able to sign david villa; villa re-signs with valencia..

 

peter kenyon of chelsea expects the blues to complete the signing of robinho for 28 million dollars..the blues are also targeting sevilla's luis fabiano..kaya nman pla naghahanap ng striker ang chelsea; claudio pizzaro has been sold to werder bremen at si shevchenko ay ac milan na..

 

pavluchenko has signed for spurs; sana nman bitawan na nila si berbatov; sa murang halaga sana hehehehe..

 

gerrard to undergo groin surgery and will be out for 10 to 15 days; too bad for pool fans..

 

arsenal's senderos joins ac milan

 

newcastle's milner hands in transfer request; too bad for the toon army; quality winger pa nman to si milner; nafrustrate na siguro sa newcastle..

 

hmm, tagal mag-sign ng manutd ng player, araw-araw na ko nagccheck, la pa din bago signing si sir alex, feeling ko sa last day sila magssign ng player..

TOT has been the most disapointing team so far. quality players no geling.

i realy hve to agree with eRon about milner. he's a good winger, mas lalo na kapag international u21. ibang iba ang laro nya sa international compared to his club matches. during club matches right now, he just looks like a floater. hopefully, keegan could strengthen his frwards too. Owen isnt 100% yet and all the other strikers are on injury list.

Exciting ang group ng liverpool. they're going to face atletico madrid in the group stage....hehehe! happy reunion for fernando torres.

[biggyprox]

oo nga pala, with the opening of champions league this season, we get to see mourinho back in action! hopefully he gets to play against his former club. all the same, its nice to see him back on the sidelines... i miss his sideline antics.....little bugger.... hehehehehe!

[duchessXI]

the Dutch champions scare me. o well, at least we have babel to tell us share us some tricks of the trade.

[_eRon_]

ManUtd's Louis Saha has signed with Everton..

 

Newcastle's James Milner has signed with Aston Villa..

 

Udinese' Gorkan Inler has rejected the possibility of joining Arsenal; so sino kaya ang next choice ni Wenger para sa midfield ng Gunnars..

 

Real doesn't want to let go of Robinho kahit na pilit siyang gustong i-sign ng Chelsea..

 

Pavyluchenko has arrived at London; he is now officially a Tottenham player..

 

Mukhang malabo na magtransfer si Berbatov sa ManUtd; sayang i think we would've been great as a red devil..

 

Swerte kami sa group nmin sa CL; sana maging successful ang title defense ng ManUtd sa CL

group h with real madrid, juventus and zenit st petersburg looks menacing.

 

even moreso now with zenit showing they can beat anyone by lifting the euro supercup with a 2-1 victory over man utd. and looks like arshavin is set to stay with them.

[duchessXI]

eheads na to'!

[_eRon_]

damn, zenit st petersberg are for real; badtrip talaga we lost 2-1 to them but by the looks of it they are a quality side and are to be reckoned with; the goal scorers of manutd these past few games show that we lack the cutting edge right now; i hope sir alex can make effective changes to better adapt for the problems that the team will be facing this season; nawala pa si saha tsk tsk tsk kung hindi si berbatov; i hope we can sign some new offensive minded players for the squad, a midfielder and a forward would be great..

[redshirt]

LIV are in a pickle, all good teams in their group.

 

I wan't able to watch the super cup and frankly Im disapointed.

[damaso]

la liga to start today!

 

i'm excited, i think barca will have a special year. on paper, is there a better midfield in the world football? xavi, iniesta, hleb, yaya toure, and keita are the most efficient players you'll ever see. no fancy stuff, just effectiveness (much like how guardiola was as a player).

 

the flair comes from the front: messi, henry, eto'o, bojan. and don't forget gudjohnsen, who i believe is the most underrated player in la liga.

 

in defense, dani alves should be a key player. marquez and puyol is a solid pair in the center, even tho they lack size. and hopefully, abidal finds his form in the left.

 

the only weak link is goalkeeper, as casillas is 1000x better than victor valdes.
