Oscar to Chelsea official. Arms race on in EPL..

Would love if Santi Cazorla rumors are true for Arsenal...

7/25/2012 12:38:35 PM

Somebody help me name some Brazilians that have been successful in the Prem. Not making a point or anything, I honestly can't think of any other than LUCAS LEIVA right now.

I think Neymar will do fine at Spurs..

Gilberto?

7/25/2012 1:39:01 PM

Robinho, Anderson, Denilson



LOL at Spurs going after another mediocre Liverpool target

[Edited on July 25, 2012 at 1:55 PM. Reason : Allen]

7/25/2012 1:52:37 PM

the da silva twins have done a good job of giving up fouls and getting red cards at wrong times

[Edited on July 25, 2012 at 2:49 PM. Reason : a]

7/25/2012 2:49:07 PM

This ought to be pretty cool. Didn't realize they were playing in Fenway.

I like Derek Rae.. wish he did more ESPN games.

[Edited on July 25, 2012 at 6:36 PM. Reason : ramires was good last year]

7/25/2012 6:32:48 PM

Any LFC fan hating on the possibility of signing Allen needs to pay more attention to how shitty Spearing is

7/25/2012 6:47:56 PM

Wait....Shelvey is only 20?

7/25/2012 7:58:00 PM

Spearing is shit, Shelvey is playing pretty damn well.

7/25/2012 7:58:25 PM

Whoa, I thought Shelvey was just some overweight 30 year old.

Great finish by Bradley. Who was it that left him? Adam?

7/25/2012 8:05:46 PM

^,^^^ He has some kind of serious alopecia that prevents him from growing any hair (like charlie villaneuva). There were talks he was going to go out on loan for a year as a part of a deal...while he balled hard at blackpool last year in league 1 (6 goals in 10 games), I hope he stays and gets playing time.

^ Danny Wilson lost him (kid from rangers...sucks) - Wilson also just lost his man in the 85th when Roma hit the post.

Party Boy just evened the score vs Chelsea!

7/25/2012 10:26:32 PM

Is that you, Eddie?

7/25/2012 10:44:53 PM

lol Chelsea

7/25/2012 10:44:59 PM

I dig the vanishing spray paint the ref was using.

7/25/2012 10:48:53 PM

Nice deflection

7/25/2012 10:52:28 PM

^^^Agreed! I was glad to see the All Stars win though.

7/25/2012 11:09:11 PM

^^^i thought it was shaving cream or something, i think alot of leagues use that. i think they used shaving cream during the copa america last year.

7/26/2012 11:59:28 PM

Google says otherwise, but I'm not sure.

7/27/2012 12:05:33 AM

Sahin to Arsenal?

Twitter confirmed!

Sandro
Sideshow Bob somewhat
Gilberto @ arse


wasn't there some guy at Middlesborough a few years back who was decent?

7/28/2012 9:29:01 PM

Brazilians:

Robinho (he didnt flop, he just wasnt worth 30+ mill)
Lucas has turned out quite nicely (of the liverpool variety)
Sandro (promising)
Denilson (serviceable)
Fabio Aurelio (good, just hurt)
Gilberto Silva (good)
Alex (was)
Ramires
David Luis (kind of sort of)
Elano (wasnt too bad)

There are always going to be bums (e.g. Jo), but as a whole, they've done OK and we certainly do not get their cream of the crop in the EPL.

7/29/2012 1:17:15 AM

Juninho at Boro...

7/29/2012 1:20:31 AM

WTF is wrong with Charlie Adam?

7/30/2012 12:15:30 AM

I was expecting worse.

7/30/2012 12:19:15 AM

Yeah, but this is the second time he's done this and it was in a pre-season friendly. Fuck that guy.

7/30/2012 12:25:19 AM

lol at "HORROR TACKLE"

7/30/2012 8:11:30 AM

OH, THE HORROR.

Looked like a fat slow guy trying to catch Bale with a lazy tackle. That shit doesn't touch Shawcross.

7/30/2012 10:49:12 AM

Andy Carroll to West Ham. £35m man gone like that?

7/30/2012 4:45:06 PM

Nice pickup. You thinking about switching back?

7/30/2012 4:45:50 PM

I'm kind of bummed about Carroll. I thought he was finally coming around and showing himself to be a player capable of getting some good goals.

And that's before thinking about what's left up top - Suarez, Borini, and ummmmm...

7/30/2012 4:49:01 PM

Clint?

7/30/2012 4:49:32 PM

Haven't heard much on that lately.

They need more than just Dempsey anyways.

7/30/2012 4:54:30 PM

Has anyone been following Benoit Assou-Ekotto's Twitter? That shit is gold.

Carroll passed on west ham

Also Dempsey isn't traveling, therefore: Liverpool

Lol, I still like them but I'm all in with Arsenal now. It's not like I change allegiances across the board, I'm just new to soccer still.

Anyway, all major outlets in England calling Cazorla to Arsenal within 48 hours. Massive signing and at a good price (reported £17.2mm).

8/1/2012 7:49:21 AM

dempsey to spurs

confirmed on the twitters

[Edited on August 1, 2012 at 10:38 AM. Reason : .]

8/1/2012 10:37:42 AM

Wilshere to not play again this year?

Could it be over before it started for him?

[Edited on August 1, 2012 at 12:55 PM. Reason : regarless of team, you hate to see young talent go to waste in such a way]

8/1/2012 12:53:33 PM

lpool has an actual game tomorrow for Europa league, Suarez and Bellamy are at Olympics and Carroll is left out for some reason, so even less scoring than usual

[Edited on August 1, 2012 at 3:22 PM. Reason : wonder if they can score negative goals]

8/1/2012 3:10:09 PM

Cazorla in London for medical at Arsenal

8/1/2012 10:00:10 PM

Malaga must have been bought by a defective Qatari sheik. Can he not pay off the club's debt?

Cazorla -> Arsenal
Rondon -> Spurs

8/2/2012 4:21:22 AM

Barcelona better be paying an arm and a leg for Song. If RVP leaves, he's probably the most important player on the squad.

8/2/2012 10:15:11 AM

Only reason I'm posting this here is because soccer posts get largely ignored in the Olympic's thread. Neymar is so damn good... but he is one of the worst I've seen in a while with the diving. He doesn't need to be doing that. That was a terribly officiated game between Honduras-Brazil and Neymar needed to be cautioned for what he was doing. He'll fit in really well in Barcelona..

8/4/2012 1:52:26 PM

Rubin Kazan came in and swooped up Rondon pretty quickly.

8/5/2012 7:07:41 AM

Is United overpaying to get Lucas Moura at £30M?

8/5/2012 10:19:09 AM

Van Persie will stay, it now seems. Also, Arsenal moving in on Gregory van der Wiel, right back for Ajax.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-skipper-robin-van-persie-1218984

I'm only mentioning this because it seems pretty WTF to me. Right fullback is one of the few positions in which Arsenal already HAVE a world-class performer. I really, really, really don't understand the logic behind 75% of Arsenal's transfers; it's almost as if they've got some complete football ignoramus running the transfer-show.

8/5/2012 1:07:52 PM

Sagna broke his leg TWICE last year and will miss the early part of the season. They have literally no cover at RB unless you think Jenkinson is ready, where as at LB they have Gibbs, Santos and Vermaelen all healthy.

I was unaware of this important detail.

i think his potential upside is worth it - even if he tanks in england we'll still get 15 million from selling him on somewhere.
