United aren't playing around this summer.

Same stories were around last summer, exactly the same sort of statements about them were made. They aren't getting those two, not a hope.

Well I hope you're right. Those two signings would go a long way in making United title contenders next season.

Old man Falcao will bomb in Chelsea just like he did in United. If he even gets to play.

United may get Miranda or Hummels

Either way they'll strengthen

Hummels is staying at Dortmund according to the latest reports. United won't get the really big guys. Everyone knows they're on the wane and I don't think anyone's going to go out of their way to play for the Autistic one.

Wouldn't be too sure about Falcao bombing. Mourinho has bought him for a reason and he's an infinitely better man manager, and manager in general, than the weirdo managing United.

United will spend huge amounts tricky

We'll still be better than them though

Hey tricks - keep this in mind will ya

That's supposing Falcaos problems in United were mostly mental, which might be the case, but I think he's yet to physically recover from the injury that kept him out of the World Cup. I watched him a couple of times this season and he just looked like an old man, no spring in his step at all. Of course Chelsea could adapt to him and just pump crosses into the box where he is still strong, but theres no reason to when you've got Costa on the books already, whos better than him in everything. Falcao will be a great option to have on the bench when you are behind and need a goal, but I don't see him leading the line for Chelsea the way Costa did this year, or even anything close to that.

He was also pushed and pulled all over by van Gaal and his stupid formations. They have Costa to lead the line over the season, Remy in case Costa gets hurt, and then they'll have Falcao to start the odd game and, as you say, grab some goals from the bench. Whatever he is now, he's still a very good goalscorer. Even if he doesn't have the athleticism to be a top player anymore.

Andy Pirlo's going to join fat Frank in the big apple

Liverpool an Bourssia Dortmund have reached an agreement over the transfer of Marco Reus. They have agreed it's never going to happen

No Reus but milner will have to do.

Guardian say 150k a week. Turns 30 in January.

150k a week?

If I were Raheem I'd be pretty pissed reading that. Not that it's about the money ofc.

Milner's a good player and I would be tempted to sign him (not for 150k!) but this is exactly the sort of signing Liverpool should not be making. Judging by his wages, Brendan is likely to make him a key part of his plans.

Edit: Turns out he was a free transfer - that explains the hugely inflated wages. Coutinho-Milner-Henderson is a solid midfield but no where near any of the other top four teams in my opinion.

you kidding me? Verratti is the shit. a Modric, Verrati and Kroos midfield is the shiznit

Madrid's team looks a mess, it's like a FIFA career mode where you've signed a load of stars and don't know how to fit them in. I reckon they'd be better without Cronaldo.
