OT: Association Football Thread II (All Soccer Talk Here!)

[Cassano]

i heard gerrard might go to LA

Also makes sense, they lost Donovan who took a DP spot.

 

[Cassano]

Are NYCFC fans here pissed that City is taking Lampard on loan for the full year? Could be make or break for a playoff spot by the end of the season, who knows.

Well worth it if he in any way helps Chelsea not win the title.

Cole Grossman just signed for my team. Anyone with two cents to share about how he is?

Right, but there are NYCFC fans that don't watch the EPL, I'm assuming? How about them?

No, they are pretty uniformly Eurosnobs.

Petke officially out.

Just had to outdo the other NY club in ********

I don't get it. A Supporter's Shield and a Conference Final in the past two seasons isn't good enough? And then go ahead and replace him with an equally inexperienced coach? Something stinks.

[Cassano]

Jozy to make a return to Red Bulls?

But now it seems that Lampard, despite being announced as a New York signing last summer, has never signed any formal contract with the Major League Soccer newcomers.

Lol what a joke.

So the press conference and all was just a plot by City owners to get Lampard to play for Manchester City while bolstering ticket sales for the new team?

This feels so wrong. NYCFC fans got cheated so badly.

Did Falcao really not make the cut to be even a substitute?

He started three straight games, time for a rest I guess.

This loss is on van Gaal 100%. He didn't have his team ready at all, and he made horrific decisions with his substitutions.

If the rumors of Varane from Madrid being available are true, United need to go all in. The team desperately needs a young center back to build the back line around. Blackett needs to be loaned out or sold immediately. He sucks. Any team with CL aspirations with him getting regular or even substitute minutes is a farce.

Hummels & Varrane. Also need players that can hit the ****ing net on shots.

arsenal need to sign big vic wanyama

Boggles my mind that Liverpool is 5 points out of 4th. We ****ing absolutely blow. The 2015 EPL is shaping up to be Chelsea, City, and 18 minor league teams.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Cole Grossman just signed for my team. Anyone with two cents to share about how he is?

He's a defensive midfielder who can defend but don't expect much going forward. Dribbling, passing, shot are all pretty much non-existent. Didn't really play much last season. In MLS, he's a back up DM. Don't know what that translates to in Norway.

Different vision for the team than front office, ownership from what I've read.

I think you guys will finish top 4.

Nice run for Southampton, but don't think they have the talent to finish top 4. Man United's been really lucky. Think they drop down a few places when they start to play at their real level. I think by the end of the season, its between Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham for two places.

Mix Diskerud signs for NYCFC. Sounds like he had interest from some better leagues. Wonder why he chose NYCFC.

I think it's great choice for him. He could be a pretty good player in better leagues, but he'll be a star here, and gets to play in his home nation in the biggest city in that nation.

 

[nyrmetros]

The MLS draft is tomorrow!

Maybe for MLS fans and the league in general, but probably not for Diskerud's career and the US Mens National Team.

Will be cool to have him playing for NYCFC. Definitely a very good player and an interesting character.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The MLS draft is tomorrow!

Its actually Thursday, but it looks like a really weak draft this year. Kind of like 2014 for the NHL.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The latest rumors have Altidore going to Toronto FC. ESPN says the deal is pretty much done.
