Bayern München apparently sign Javier Martinéz from Athletic Bilbao for 40 million €. The player is said to pay 10 million himself (by getting less loan).

Not sure if I like that. That is a crazy amount of money for a (at least to me) completely unknown defensive midfield player.


That won't matter at all. KOAN TITEL AGAIN!


Well they have won the Supercup. Enough for this season I think :D
But does it djent?

You're not allowed to head the penalty, but pass it to a team mate.

Strangely I knew all of those, overall got 9/12. Maybe I watched too many "football curiosity" etc. videos on youtube where actually some of the described stuff happened. But I think I also had some lucky guesses.

I'm pretty shocked Arsenal are going to be selling Song for 17 mill when he has 3 years left on contract. He was a total rock in the centre and very good, Barcelona are stealing him. They also stole Alba, what's the deal with Barcelona getting such good deals? They are like, one of the richest clubs in the world, you think people would want to gouge them for top dollar :S?

I guess there must be something to the rumour that Arsenal need to sell off players every year to manage this emirates stadium debt.

Finally picked my team for the fantasy Premierleague, on paper it looks amazing. But as it always happens to be, it's not that simple.

Here it is:

Szczesny (Rudd)
A Cole, Vidic, Riise (R Taylor, Shawcross)
Sinclair, Kagawa, Cabaye, Larsson (Moses)
Aguero (C), Podolski, Pogrebnyak

Boom! 3-4-3. Do me proud!

QPR has signed 2-time Champions league winner Bosingwa. Decent signing, although I wasn't very impressed by his play last season.

Championship season kicked off tonight with a 1-0 win to Cardiff over Huddersfield. Gutted at that loss, deserved a draw.

I just saw that Chelsea bought Oscar for around the same price that they bought Hazard (last month news)I know. I know these Argentinians and Brazilians kids are good but this is getting ridiculous. Plus they need Backs and not Midfielders ><
With Marin, Mata, Oscar, Hazard all competing for two spots, it looks like an big waste of money. -.-'

Marin won't start, he's replacing kalou basically. Oscar may or may not feature somewhat, most likely as reserve/injury replacement but I expect Mata and Hazard to play day in, day out.

Chelsea is trying to create a team with a lot of attacking options that can make it through a season with injuries. If you think the defensive weakness last year was the players or lack of quality then you weren't actually paying attention to Chelsea matches. The defensive weakness last year was the high line which just didn't take. Chelsea still have top defensive players in Cahill, Terry, Cole, Ivanovic, Luiz. Bertrand is also looking quality. We will need to bring in new backs in the next 2-3 years, but it was much more pressing to get attacking players.

When you lose Drog and are just sitting on Torres, you are going to be desperate for attacking influence. Take out Kalou, another attacker, and Malouda is getting less influential. Compare our attack to Man City or Man U! Pathetic depth. Now add in all the names you mentioned, and it's looking far more like a team that can be competitive in the high ranks of the prem. Hazard is going to be a wonderful influence on the wing, Mata will be able to play wing or centrally, Oscar can play in most attacking roles, Marin can also play the wing very well. We need another striker but otherwise things are coming along nicely.

Chelsea have some solid defensive midfielders in the form of Lamps, Mikel and Meireles. The weakness was in the depth at wing and creative midfield positions, and striking. We already had lots of experience, we needed youth and creativity. The signings we have made are just what the doctor ordered!

A 4-2-3-1 formation will make Chelsea very potent, and we will have depth to be able to play 2 matches a week, and be injury resistant in most places other than striker.

Joined the Fantasy League - should be fun

On a biased note, come on you Gunners tomorrow! Whilst injuries are still clearing up at the moment, I'm very hopeful we'll end up with a nice attacking 4-3-3 later in the season when Wilshire gets back. We have the players now to make that a very potent threat to any team.

Would also like to see us pick up another defender (and a new CDM if Song is actually going to leave too) before the transfer window closes, but it wouldn't be a transfer window without Arsenal needing and failing to buy defensive players, would it? T_T

Watching Fox Soccer, Man C versus Chelsea, and find it great how you can hear people in the crowd cuss at the ref.
