    Yep I don't care to have a bench player on a huge team. No better than being a bench player anywhere else.

    Roma better not worry about Bradley or any other mf until they buy like 4 defenders.

    Yeah, I don't know if there will be an actual offer made, but articles like this are being linked all over Big Soccer (now Tottenham apparently is interested too)

    Just some dutch rumors, do with it what you want.

    Rumors
    Chelsea and Liverpool are both looking at FC Twente forwards Ola John and Luuk de Jong
    Tottenham is looking hard at acquiring for Ajax captain Jan Vertonghen
    Fulham want to strike gold twice with Heerenveen wingers Assaidi and Narsingh
    Sporting Lisboa want PSV attacking Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum
    Wolfsburg winning the Bas Dost sweepstakes looks like a done deal.
    Mark van Bommel back to PSV is more or less a done deal.

    i think the both of em together would go for about 20mln, depending on what happens with their own team i think they could muster that

    m'gladbach have reportedly picked up fc basel youngster granit xhaka for €8.5m. nice pick up but maybe a little overpriced

    also, there are rumors that united aren't just looking at kagawa but hummels and lewandowski too. don't know how true it is but apparently ferguson tried to see hummels in person when he was in berlin and invited his dad to manchester. seems pretty unlikely but it is interesting

    The center midfield was pretty terrible and lacked quality. Scholes definitely helped, but he's old and could only do so much.

    Some think Xhaka is a better talent than Shaqiri. If Gladbach can sign Santana to replace Dante, they may have a chance to make group stages of CL. Doubtful without Reus though.

    i said it was a rumor and unlikely. lewandowski's agent is whoring him around saying man u is interested (don't know whether or not this is to get a bigger contract or to leave) and i already said what i heard about hummels

    Bigger contract I'm sure. Barrios is already on his way out. They can't afford to lose their top two strikers.

    i've gotta go with shaqiri in this case and i don't feel its that close but i've always been a shaqiri fan. kind of mad he is already going to bayern though, he could be getting a lot more playing time elsewhere, hope it doesn't hurt his development.

    Sources are still trying to confirm. My understanding is that Liverpool want to make an early offer before he blows up this summer at Euro's.

    Also hear Liverpool are keen to bring in Chris Eagles from Bolton, but that they may have to fend off Scunthorpe United.

    I wouldn't call a fluke goal against Barca as finding his form. He's god awful. Still.

    Hat trick against QPR was pretty special for Chelsea. Given, they suck dick, but at least he knows where the net is again.
