Doesn't seem like the best character

Sounding like it is United although if Arsenal can get Carvalho they'll be on a winner there although I get the feeling there will be a few in for him now.
He was outstanding today as the Portugese Braziled Germany.

Falcao goes from United to Chelsea.

Chelsea have announced the signing of Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan from Monaco.

Nowhere really appropriate to put this, but there is something inherently satisfying about watching Argentina fail.

I'm sure the Brits around here would agree.

Rumour is that Inter Milan has accepted a bid for Shaqiri from Stoke?

That's ok you'll still see him first game of the season. I dunno how your last game against them went, but I imagine he may make them better?

that's a good reality check for Shaqiri. Very overrated player and he himself seemed to think that he'd be capable of replacing Ribery and/or Robben ... doesn't think the game well enough to do that though. Inter seem eager to sell him again after only a few months, that should tell you everything you need to know. Simply not good enough for a top side. Stoke is the perfect place for him, he can play with other formally overrated/overhyped players like Arnautovic and Bojan.

Are Chelsea going to become 'England's Team?'

Chelsea are ready to pay £11 million a year to use Wembley Stadium for three seasons if the planned Stamford Bridge expansion goes ahead, The Times has reported.

Considering what they would be returning to, they should probably just stay at Wembley...

The same architect that graced Bordeaux with this:

Um...it seems to me as though it would be incredibly difficult, and rather unwieldy, if I'm honest, to play football in what appears to be a streetside cafe?

The sightlines for the fans is crap too.

That is being unfair to the stadium in Bordeaux.

That picture you took is more of the swamp then the stadium.

Better looks here.

It's different, but I kind of like it.

It's actually my favourite view, I like how it rises out of vegetation.

http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/new-scheme/

new stadium design released with the NFL announcement, increase capacity from 56k to 61k as well

Quote:
A statement appearing on both Tottenham's official website and the NFL UK website read: "The NFL and Tottenham Hotspur today announced that they have reached agreement for a minimum of two games per year to be played during a 10-year partnership at the English Premier League team's new stadium in London.

"The state-of-the-art stadium, due to open in the summer of 2018, will feature a retractable grass field with an artificial surface underneath that would be used for NFL games. This innovative field will add greater flexibility in the scheduling of games, with the NFL having its own playing surface for games held at this venue. This field will be multi-use and capable of hosting other sporting, entertainment and community events."

Also Club said they are looking to use Wembley during the 2017/18 season rather than stadium MK

Kind of cool.

Hope whenever they build a new stadium in Calgary it has that potential.

Turf underneath with the ability to lay down real grass if needed.

I have to admit, that's a pretty nice looking ground. Well done Spuds!

Hey, don't give Ken King anymore ideas, or we will have to wait another 10 years for him to finalize the details.....

Would have to think ManU would have a striker lined up to bring in now with RVP and Falcao gone, and Chicharito seemingly on his way out. Even if Rooney plays striker that still leaves them a bit light up top.

Last season United were able to hide their deficiencies by getting great goalkeeping and efficient strike rates. A lot of that could be on the way out this summer.

LVG has said he just wants to play 1 striker

it would be risky, and they would need to sign at least one other wide forward like Muller

but Rooney and Wilson as the strikers, with Muller/Memphis able to cover if needed could be done
