King RyderFan Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Call it the Soccer thread please. Anyway, glad Drogba's coming home to Chelsea. He's only one of a few Chelsea players I can name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips. Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Then you don't know enough about the sport to have a say in what this thread should be called. We need to start signing more players Hererra and Shaw definitely isn't enough. Still hoping for another centre mid, two centre back's and left back/wing back to challenge Shaw. We should be good.

AlterNation Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Reece James seems to be doing well in pre-season so he might end up being Shaw's back up. I want a centre back (Hummels would be a dream) and a midfield destroyer which we've really lacked since Keane left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips. Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Which other youngsters look like they could be making there way to the first team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterNation Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 From the two games thus far it seems like Van Gaal has some faith in Tyler Blackett (CB). I hope at least one of the Keane twins (mainly Michael) gets a look in at some point in the season, though I expect them both to go out on loan. Maybe James Wilson will have another chance to shine like he did against Hull. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orchio Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Ben Pearson could be one to look out for, box-box midfielder for the U21's and he's not afraid to get stuck in to a tackle. Always seems to have a solid game in the middle of the park and can adequately handle himself. He'd easily be an improvement on what's there now (aside from Herrera and possibly Carrick). Torres already getting back into form. https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/5460A682031105223029543575552_29f4035cc51.1.2.4111985763321941910.mp4?versionId=vqhcSfsOwjeA54Ed7yTUpm62TtFBSTxZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterNation Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Oh my God, Torres. Look what's being sold in Barcalona This makes me angry and sad. It's not an official store, though, I hope it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the fact there are quite a few games and it's not just a one time thing, plus weakish squads due to the World Cup haven't helped. I'm not sure. The Arsenal/Red Bull friendly was pretty packed and every ticket to the game was sold. There were only 500 or so empty seats. I just think holding game where there really is no big interest for the sport was just a bad idea because attendance has been up since the World Cup for MLS teams. The Galaxy/ManU game was packed but the Roma/Man U game was so empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVF Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Fair enough, I'll take your word for it. Rodgers on Lovren: "He is a commanding and powerful presence and clearly has leadership skills, which is important; he fits the profile of player we are looking for.

Shindol Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Didn't the United v Galaxy game get 86,000? I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It obviously depends on the popularity of the teams playing. Maybe European holiday destinations help to bump up the attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb. Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm hoping we'll see either Allen or Coutinho for Gerrard in the second half. That midfield 3 pressing will be beautiful. Lazza M take off like a rocket. Should have done better with that 3v2 though. Johnson is so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wishing It's Gazetta Dello Spor and Tuttosportt who are saying the deal is on again and I believe both have run quite a few stories on the Vidal rumours. Don't know how reliable they both are as well. Anyway we know that the most likely and obvious outcome of this is that he'll stay at Juve or move elsewhere. I'd be shocked (and delighted) if we got a player of that calibre in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
