But then again, the team will cope I guess. It's not really the type of team that heavily relies on 1 man, something you are probably quite familiar with.

I dunno, Newcastle paid the same for fucking Thauvin.
Some PL clubs are fucking retarded.
Plus, Andros is HG.
He probably won't live for that price but 10m isn't impossible

>>64883416
They still have Fellaini, though.

who /leeds/ here?

>>64883621
Didn't someone offer 10m already, Watford maybe.
Be could go for 12m or so I think.but wouldn't surprise me to see Levy wrangle 14.

>>64883621
thauvin actually has some ability about him, he just has a terrible attitude

>>64883626
And hazard...

Gary lineker is back on the market

>>64883707
In all seriousness, Belgium still has a pretty nice team, even though you don't have full backs and you lack a world class midfielder.

>>64883735
Nainggolan & Witsel aren't worldclass but pretty damn solid, also I'd put De Bruyne in attacking midfield and Carrasco/Mertens on the right wing.

You're right about the fullbacks though.

-------------Lukaku-------------------
Hazard--------------------Carrasco/Mertens
--------------De Bruyne---------------
----------Nainggolan------------------
--------------------Witsel---------------
Vert---Verm----Komp/Lomb---Ald
---------------Courtois-----------------

Definitely not world class but not as shit as everyone on /sp/ says either

>Mundo Deportivo reports that Nolito is close to joining Barcelona and the negotiations should conclude in the coming days
Damn, he'd be a fantastic option off the bench. Treble repeat is looking more and more likely

>>64883764
Forgot about Nainggolan, but Witsel is nothing special, I'm never really sure what hes supposed to be good to.
Alderweireld became your best CB, putting him on the sides is a waste.
Also Kompany is dead. What about Denayer? Was imprressive against France.

>Patrick Roberts possibly going out on loan
that went well

>>64883797
Should have went to Spurs the madman.

>>64883776

fuck yeah Denayer, future goat

>Villa won a game
>Newcastle getting points

How fucked are Sunderland?

>>64883797
he probably only stayed in the first half of the season to get a feel for the club, he was never going to be ready to play for city

>Manchester City vs Everton

>everyone plays at the same time

>>64883776
Witsel is a poor man's Kroos, lot's of sideways passing but rarely loses the ball, good for possession play tbH.

Vert-Alderweireld-Denayer-Meunier is an option but Meunier is a liability. Denayer is defitinetely going to France, probably as a back up though.

United signings when? Just buy a cheap striker, sell fellaini, and get a winger.

In summer, they seriously need more defensive and midfield options.

>>64883892
>all they need is a striker, a winger, midefielders and defenders

>>64883869
Spurs for me

>>64883892
Why don't they just buy very, Toby, Dier, dembele , mahrez, kane, & vardy

>>64884231
>chelsea 04/05
>mostly african
what? Drogba and Makelele were the only Africans who were providing meaningful contributions (maybe Gallas too, I have no idea how African is he though)

>>64884336
He was linked with Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona. He says he doesn't want to join Arsenal and Barcelona, ergo he'll be coming to Liverpool.

>>64884330
Why would he want to go to Barcelona? To watch from the bench as Messi, Suarez and Neymar style on some niggers and to take selfies with trophies he barely contributed to at the end of the season?

>>64884357
Money

>>64884351
Or that Liverpool are so irrelevant he didn't even feel the need to say he's not going there.

>>64884329
you don't panic buy one of the best players in the world
>>64884341
maybe they're struggling to convince anyone good to come

>>64884361
But he could get a similar contract at Madrid, United, City, PSG or Chelsea and actually start

>>64883134

>>64884455
Yeah but once I heard the song I no longer did. The music lacks energy which makes anthems great.

Is Jurgen Klopp respected as the elite manager he is by actual German non-Dortmund fans? I get the feeling that some of you don't appreciate him.

>>64884449

>>64884484
I'm guessing they mainly like him for the memes, not his managerial abilities.

>>64884408

Rule Britannia is good and I would like it as the UK anthem but it's not an english anthem

France's and Russia's are god-tier imo, no other national anthem comes even close.

>>64884386
>Jerusalem

why would you sing about the land of jews?

>>64884544
That's no problem, part of being put off is due to the middle class rugby "fans" who love nothing more than to be seen singing it.
They wouldn't stand a chance with Irish lyrics.

>>64884600

I love Battle Hymn of the Republic, but it's very religious, the secular types would lose it. And more importantly, it's a Civil War song, which means that the entire South would get annoyed at being reminded about the time great-great grandpappy Cleetus got BTFO by those damn yankees.

Nah, it sucks. There are plenty of songs out there that would make better national anthems, it's really unfortunate that they had faded in popularity by the time Congress decided to formally adopt a national anthem.

read a stat saying united are unbeaten whenever fellaini doesn't play, and have only 2 wins out of 11 in the games he did play (3-1 v liverpool, 3-0 v everton, only played 9 mins v everton)

not to say that uniteds shit results is entirely his fault, but he's really not helping at all

When are United buying Ibra for 10m?

>Tottenham have completed the signing of teenage midfielder Shilow Tracey from Ebbsfleet United, the non-league club have confirmed. Tracey, 17, was invited for a trial with Spurs in October and travelled to Florida with the club's academy to play at the IMG Cup last month, scoring in both matches.

>>64886703
>>64886703
it was probably just lions were king of the world and england was too. just thought a lion was fucking scary as shit so took it. same with china a dragon is tough as fuck and can kick some arse so they chose it, like russia with bears

dunno why america chose an eagle i could probably heem an eagle and im a pussy

What's surprising is that Northern European countries were putting exotic animals that have never even heard of winter on their family emblems and heraldry and shit, in a time when literally walking was your best mode of transportation to the holy land, and after 5 months you still probably weren't going to see a lion

it really is weird as fuck. from 500 AD to 1000 AD, there must have been like, no more than twenty or so european mainlanders that had seen a live lion

>>64886888
>from 500 AD to 1000 AD, there must have been like, no more than twenty or so european mainlanders that had seen a live lion
Yet between about 500BC and 500AD loads would have seen them because the romans would ship them over for battles

>>64886888
must be why they all look retarded

guys can we please talk about sports

>>64886908
what is your opinion on the relocation of the St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles

>>64886888
The lion was a known animal in europe, you could find it on paintings, it was associated with Christianity, it was a sign of the zodiac etc.
It doesn't really matter if farmers never saw a real, live, one. Though they might had seen some, you should ask the eggheads on /his/ about zoos in 500AD England.

>>64886922
seems pretty stupid to me

>>64886888
Don't think they became big in heraldry in western europe until the crusades desu.

And even then they were common in the european medditeranean in antiquity. So the Romans, Greeks etc would've seen them and they had a huge influence on european culture.

>>64886901
>Yet between about 500BC and 500AD loads would have seen them because the romans would ship them over for battles

for a second I was thinking you meant they shipped them over for military purposes, like lion cavalry and shit, and I really wanted to get into the kind of history books you're reading

but yeah, the romans did use them for gladiator battles. must've spread tales pretty fucking effectively.

though I wonder where on the spectrum they were from "literally an everyday event" to "once in a million years emperor dickface imports some lions from africa for the god of fertility feasts"

>though I wonder where on the spectrum they were from "literally an everyday event" to "once in a million years emperor dickface imports some lions from africa for the god of fertility feasts"
Depends, iirc Greece used to have its own lions so they were probably common back in the day.

>>64886908
this is still a million times better than like 5 tripfags jerking each other off in the NFL general and literally copypasting "memes"

>>64886961
Their name comes from the nickname of Fordham University. "Rams" was selected to honor the hard work of the football players that came out of that university and because the name was short and would fit easily into a newspaper headline

>>64886982
>the st louis transits

>>64886945

Didn't you wonder why they conquered europe so effectively?

I dunno about lions but animals of all kinds were used a lot. From fighting/killing prisoners, fighting other animals to raping women
