Chelsea agree to a €25 million fee for Oscar

Isn't that the same role they want Hazard to fill???

Maybe he'll want to play for Wales now.

Also; this would be a serious downgrade for Spurs:

Spurs, meanwhile, look set to focus their efforts on landing Porto's Joao Moutinho, who has been lined up as a replacement for Luka Modric, should Real Madrid lodge an acceptable bid for the Croatian.

anyone is a downgrade to Luka

Moutinho is a great player though, hope they can get him if an acceptable bid for Modric comes in

I would be very happy with a Sandro/Gylfi/Moutinho/Parker/Livermore/Huddlestone group next year, only team that is really better in that area would be Man City

Acknowledging that is going to help. He's an exceptional talent and replacing him like for like would be an absolute work of genius.

Reading Espn, it seems as though ManU may get Lucas from Sao Paulo. He's an extremely gifted and hard working player with top speed and versatility on either side or the middle. He's torn brazil up for a few years and is ready for a greater challenge.

Living in Brazil, I like him much more than the highly touted Ganso, Oscar or even Neymar. Some have more skill but I see those 3 as talented floaters like Robinho that will piss away their skill. Not Lucas

heard that same thing from a few places, Lucas is the one a few south american writers have said will be the one to lead the team in 2014 at the WC

Liverpool has some questionable choices as well.

Liverpool Away


Liverpool Third



I actually like the new United Home Kits

I like the Liverpool shirts over the new United shirt. I'm not a huge fan of all those squares, but I guess it'll grow on me. I like the rumoured away kit though, I wouldn't this one at all:



Some fans have really nice ideas though, too bad that those won't be used:

Someone needs to revoke the Jersey design privileges from the epileptics.

I do really like the home/away though, the collar on the home looks great, like this last England kit

Definitely some different looking kits this year, to put it nicely. The Liverpool home and rumored Man U away are both classy though and look fantastic.

Arsenal's kit looks like they're fielding an army of homosexual hamburglers.

I had to fix that glaring typographical issue of yours. Many of us are light on sleep during the Stampede week, so it's entirely understood.

LOL, nice. Wondering if all the teams got together and had a bet who could make the ugliest kit. Quick give Wenger a cup made of tinfoil, Arsenal finally wins!
