Fido_le_muet 5,198 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 So Pogba is now the most expensive transfer ever Will he and Zlatan be enough for them to reclaim the crown ? Meanwhile, in Europa League news, my favorite team (St Etienne) lost against Wolfsburg. Hopefully they can do better at home during the return game. My hometown (Tours) is playing in 2nd division. Hopefully they can stay there Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10145-the-2016-2017-beautiful-game-thread/#findComment-151143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can stay there Might take Pogba a while to settle in, he won't run the midfield like he did in Italy. Similar story for Zlatan - no way will he match his goal tally of recent years, he'll find it much tougher, but I can see him getting 10+ goals in the league if he stays fit. If Zlatan beats Andy Cole's record of 34 goals then I'll eat both of my shoes Of course, it's great to have both players in the Premier League. It's the best league for the best players. 14 hours ago, Banketelli said: Earlier today, van der Vaart joined Danish club, FC Midtjylland. Yep, van der Vaart in Danish football. Dude, just stop your career. He was decent before he joined Spurs, but his lack of pace really made him stand out. Mixed reactions about my team, Swansea City. Sold club and international captain Ashley Williams for £12M to Everton, obviously the whole club are unhappy, he made over 300 appearances and won't be replaced very easily, but it was a transfer request so there's not much the club can do to stop it. Made club record signing in Borja Baston from Atletico for £15M, but the Williams sale has taken the shine away from that. We also sold Andre Ayew to the Hammers for £20.5M, I'm not too annoyed as we had him on a free a year ago, but we need to add more quality to our squad instead of adding £'s to the bank balance.

Cheers and it is, although i did enjoy all the away trips up into the highlands to some cattle shed in the middle of nowhere and we still need a defender (can we please have kyle bartley back lol) and a clinical striker to have any chance this year, and yeah that manky mob across the city have done well with the likes of wanyama etc thats what we need to start doing also, was disappointing to see Williams leave you lot but after 8 years and for the margin you made it's fair cop from your board letting him leave, best of luck this season 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10145-the-2016-2017-beautiful-game-thread/#findComment-151310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadk13l91 112 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey have just found this thread. As much as I love soccer I'm not that into the euro leagues. Here in Australia we are dominated by football (Australian football league). The club I do follow and love is an A-league team here in Aus, Adelaide United. And trust me when I say I could spend every second of every day just talking sport (just ask Skorpion) I do follow Liverpool a bit and have since I was a young kid. I've played for the better part of my life even travelled earning a youth contract with Adelaide city before they renamed as united. But that fell apart as quick as it started with a motorbike crash. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/10145-the-2016-2017-beautiful-game-thread/#findComment-157546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Really shitty times to be a Swansea fan, especially after our magical rise through the football leagues playing such stylish football. Terrible performance against United: Didn't touch the ball in the opposition penalty area until the 60th minute, no closing down, no desire and no creativity They just walked past us with ease time and time again Millions of pounds of transfer fees not invested back into the playing staff, so we've got an EPL Championship team at best. Clueless owners and an equally clueless manager. Fans started to turn on the new American owners before half time with chants such as "Greedy yank bastards, we want our club back". Uncharacteristically revolving door of managers since the stability of Martinez and Laudrup. Haven't won since August on the opening day of the season...

Banketelli 3,655 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Shocking timing. They must have someone lined up. but still, in between a CHL tie.. It's really football at its worst. They should be building a statue of the man, not sacking him. I think the problem lies with the players, unfortunately it's easier to get rid of the manager.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Clearly panicking at the thought of being relegated and the financial loss that comes with it. Apparently assistant Craig Shakespeare will take over for now, can't see much changing though, the players don't have the same cutting edge and desire as last season and teams know exactly how to deal with their style of play now. Football is changing, it's 100% about the money now and I guess I can't blame the owner from a business point of view, but obviously Leicester fans around the world won't see it that way. Last season they set the bar as high as it goes, they were never gonna repeat it, but relegation from the Premier League is now on the cards and that wage bill will need to be massively cut if they do go down.
