    I think he's someone that could be viewed as leading by example so that leads people to believe he would be a good leader. When I think of James Milner I think of him running full speed, head down chasing down a ball trying to keep it in play (even if it's clear he isn't going to get there)

    That just makes him a good soldier. Steven Gerrard was more than just a good soldier.

    I'm just telling you why the English think he is a good leader. I've seen different reports this week of them thinking he'll be a great leader and possibly named captain. That is the reason

    and it's the reason the English (media at least) think Özil is shit.

    Milner and Henderson will be the best 1-2 of hustling the world has ever seen.

    The one that I follow that I have found to be at least somewhat accurate is @TransferSources.

    One thing I noticed is that they rarely ever give credit to whomever gives them their news - which is potentially a very good thing.

    And unlike other Twitter feeds with a surprising number of followers in comparison to their ridiculous speculation - when Ronaldo is spotted buying a coffee in a shop down the street from where Getafe plays, TransferSources is not automatically linking him to a $140m transfer there.

    they just made a huge deal about how that was his last game.

    also, pretty shitty for Aleix Vidal. now not only does he have to sit out for six months, but he doesn't even have a spot waiting for him when he's eligible.

    Andre Ayew close to joining Swansea. Would be a really good signing. No reason he can't get double digit goals next year.

    When you proclaim for the second straight summer that you will spend 200 million this will become a constant theme. Chelsea are used for new contracts all the time

    With pirlo coming out and saying he might stay for a year I assume that means pogba is gone. My guess is Barcelona unless city or psg pay stupid money

    If he would actually consider joining Milan, I don't know how you could believe Man U would be out of the question. Milan is a trainwreck at the moment.

    I read he can be "loaned" to Juve for 6 months or they will agree to a purchase is January if that is where pogba wants to go and they give something close to a record fee to Juve

    He will have plenty of help around him. Adds a lot to our squad to be able to play him opposite Jefferson Montero.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me to see him score 15-20 goals if he stays healthy.

    I have a feeling Dyer may be on his way out. Routledge is coming off an ankle injury, but he was solid prior to that. His flexibility to work the left or right side is going to keep him on the squad, but it is getting a little crowded up front. Especially if we play more of that diamond.

    Even if Ayew is a huge flop (I don't think that will happen), you can still sell him back to somewhere in France for at least $10 million. That's really good business.

    Agree. I don't think Dyer is I'm the plans at this point otherwise there is no growth.

    Routledge will continue to play and play often. Think you start Montero and Ayew and use Routledge as a super sub. Routledge can always play on the wing but can also play up front just like Ayew so it gives the club flexibility.

    Curious to see how we handle the midfield with Ki, Cork, Siggy, Shelvey if they are all around in Sept.
