Dortmund have done some pretty serious recruitment to offset the departures of Hummels, Mkhitaryan and Gundogan: Dembélé, Bartra, Rode, Guerreiro, Gotze, Schurrle. If they can keep hold of Reus (which I expect them to) they might put up a serious challenge next season.

 

Reus has been named as their captain, so he's staying. They should look great next season.

I really admire Dortmund's ability to find replacements for star players who have left the club in the last few years.

 

There's no fuss whatsoever and they seem to always find ways to maintain a strong squad. It's indicative of a strong culture at their club.

The Great DD scored a nice lil' Hat-trick yesterday for Montreal

8 goals in 12 games not bad for an old has been.

Supa Frank is catching up - the MLS has turned into the competition to show which CFC Legend still has gas in their tank

Ray charged for the third drink driving offence

Shame with Ray.

Looks like he's struggling big time with his demons. Drinking and driving is awful, his licence should be taken for good.

nice interview w/ Don Claudio

Jeffrey bruma has said we wanted him back this summer but he chose to go to wolfsburg.

The scrounge of the gooners strikes again.....The Great DD scores against le arse again

To be fair the MLS is a weak league. 

I might just become a Hull City fan because Zola has been approached to become their gaffer

Happy birthday to Salomon Kalou and his spider.

Ashley cole on soccer am, really likeable guy. I think i can forgive his gunner roots, he gave us the best years of his career, and he is a proper chelsea now imo.

He was saying that ideally he will have a role back at the club when he hangs his boots up.

World class footballer.

John Swift has scored on his Reading debut

I had the fortune of watching him up close in his prime and everytime I see him play I was amazed. In his prime he was the finest athlete I have ever seen play for us better than drogs, lampard, zola included, he just never stopped running. Very clever aswell. He was a striker when he was younger but he had the talent to play anywhere.

englands and chelseas best ever left back in my opinion.

In my opinion he left us too soon.

Ashley equalises late on against NY Red Bulls.

Looks like our centre-back problem is solved, and for free as well:

We could run anti aging experiments on him in our secret lab, see if we can make him a mid 20 year old again

There are some encouraging results of the tests on JT

The sad part is a 38 year old Ricky is still better than what Arsenal put on the field today. Watching Arsenal Fan TV is giving me lots of joy. I just hope we win today. 

Bad day for Petr yesterday, 4 goals conceded then he crashed his car on the way home from the game!

Apparently the Bison was back as a part of of a 'Chelsea loan XI' for a friendly against Brentford:

Our side included Bamford, Piazon, Omeruo, Solanke, Atsu, Marin, and more interestingly Rémy and Kenedy.
