Van Butsen

Italian Newspaper Tuttosport is claiming that we'd prefer to sell Juventus Cesc rather than Matic...

Do we have a plan B, C and D though?

I hope that's not so they can get a larger fee when he has an unreal season!

He was a nothing player at the euros. Nothing good, nothing bad. Just nothing. If we spend money on J Mario the coach would be inclined to play him and I don't think he's gong to make a difference.

Interval training has been around for many years now and I'm sure Jose, Sean and Antonio have been using the technique for years in preseason. If that's all Sean's talking about then I find that very strange, I thought he must have been talking about something NEW

It doesn't take a scouting network to work out who the best players are. The player's club has to be willing to sell as well. 50 million bids mean little if said club rely on that player to qualify for champions league or survival in their top flight. It's a two way street

If he comes off the bench and scores a brace against Real Madrid just try holding the kid back when he comes back next year. We aren't talking about Ajax here we are talking about Traore. If it's a downward move (and it may be, I wanted him to stay) then he should boss it. Fact is it's a chance to prove himself, a chance which he wouldn't have got here this season.

See ya! I always thought the stalls out the front and near Fulham Broadway were licensed though?

Would also like to know

Big chance to play champions league which is a positive

I hope Pedro starts

No they aren't really that stupid. Centre backs don't grow on trees and we aren't the only ones with money anymore.

Use this for the new pokemon sightings feature. Edit: anyone know how I make that link work? It's an image I saw on twitter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CpghsIuWgAEws8v.jpg:large

Lacazette?

Damn really liked him

Only 383 more for a Gyarados.. Edit: Actually you get three pieces of candy each time, so much less. Maths not my strong point thoughdit:

If the quality of player isn't there, there is no point bringing in the next best thing if in fact they are 10th down the line. The manager won't play him, the board will be unhappy, the fans will write him off and he would have cost a stack. The fact that people think Conte and the board are overlooking our defensive fragility is mind blowing.

Also managers get sacked for finishing second in this sport. So everyone is destined to f**k it.

Likewise, think he's a lot better than some in the squad

Pretty annoying if his form dipping was because he'd felt he'd achieved everything he wanted in England and didn't give a stuff.

Hatched a 1200 Snorlax this morning which was awesome. I then captured my 60th pokemon which I could evolve and promptly activated a lukcy egg and have gone from level 15 to 18 in the space of 30 minutes. It's been a good day!

Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists he'd be branded a 'dinosaur' for implementing methods used by Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and other celebrated foreign coaches. “Antonio Conte came in at Chelsea and he got commended for bringing a hard, fast, new leadership to Chelsea, which involved doing 800-metre runs, 400m runs and 200m runs," the Burnley boss said. “Come to my training and see Sean Dyche doing that and you’d say, ‘Dinosaur, a young English dinosaur manager, hasn’t got a clue’. So is it perception or is it fact? I have no problem with it. It’s the reality I say. Perception is radically different to what is going on with young English managers. Not really sure what he's on about here, must be talk within the footballing hierarchy about Conte's methods? We haven't played an official game yet so how do we know if his methods have worked and if they can be given a label?

He would not have taken the job if he had no say, the board have been more than willing to offer the money (signed two players for 30+) it's just proving difficult to sign defenders at the minute. They're not going to say "oh wait a minute, don't sign Kante, we haven't signed a defender yet" and let others come and swoop him up.

Confirmed on Instagram he won't be joining PSV. Think he'll spend the next few months In rehab/the youth team. Thought he looked really good at Stoke last year but possibly is time to consider his next career move, only he knows how responsive his body is and can be moving forward
