2014/2015 European Football Thread

Not getting on the pitch because Agüero and Džeko are better forwards.

 

Yeppers.

I'm familiar with this scenario... *cough*Chicharito*cough*... too many good forwards in one team... insurance, but costly.

 

He actually was, but he got treated like **** by many Italian fans and had to face constant racism. No one would want to play in that kind of environment.

 

Yeah I don't blame him. I liked Mario but he definitely never seems fully 100% committed.

Hopefully he sucks for Liverpool now.

 

Welcome to Liverpool!

I'm excited to see all the midfielders spoon feeding Balotelli with goals. I can't see Balo and Sturridge on the pitch together too often, so they'll probably be subbing for each other depending on the opponent. Either way, let's hope I won't have to see Lambert much on the pitch.

 

I can see Mario and Sturridge together honestly,Mario can play as striking partner or out wide as a winger.I hope he starts honestly, he just has that flare while on the ball, and his striking force from outside the box would be great for us. We can do a 4-4-2 Diamond, 4-3-3 and other variations, we have a real flexible squad for our Tournament games and league games.

Sturridge-Balo

Coutinho-Henderson-Gerrard-Sterling

Moreno-Sakho-Lovren-Manquillo

Mignolet

Is what I would want to see against City if Balo gets there in time and if Moreno gets settled in. Im really excited for this season I hope things fall our way.

 

Rumemenigge talked about how other clubs need money and him therefore being optimisitc about receiving a great player for Bayern. Really makes me think we'll deal with PSG or Real.

Verratti, Varane?

I hope that Liverpool will finally win the championship again, this year.

 

Maybe it is different in different countries, in the Netherlands most people dislike Real Madrid (but that might also be because there has been a lot of history between Barcelona and the Dutch).

 

Looks like Balo won't make it in time. I heard talks are positive though and Balo will probably agree to the "no go cray-cray" clause in his contract. I hope to see Moreno get some play in the second half.

 

Bayern looked really good tonight, 2:1 victory.
Back to Spain: Mandzukic with the 1:0 after two minutes, hope Atletico win this.

 

Robben does it again.

 

Simeone thrown out of the game.

 

Lol breh like rox 1 said, no point even mentioning Varane. Madrid would sell Pepe and his family members before selling Varane.

Veratti is a surprising one for me. I'm surprised PSG would consider letting him go.

 

Wow, I swear in my earlier post from Wednesday asking if anyone was picking Atletico to defeat Real, I was going to also add in "perhaps a goal from Mandzukic?"

Blah, shoulda coulda. Anyway good for Atletico. It would be pretty crazy if they win La Liga again this season.

 

Bale, Ronaldo, and Benzema were nonexistent today.

 

According to Italian news: Benatia to Bayern for 30mil

Also, Mundo had an article about Barca calling Marco Reus for a transfer but him saying he has an oral agreement to join Bayern in 2015. Would love this, successor to Ribery and the look on Watzke's face would be priceless.
