When do Premier League clubs start their pre seasons? Would have thought fairly shortly if it starts on the 8th of August.

Surprised to see such little movement, even this early in the window. Arsenal and Chelsea are pretty complete squads at the moment but United and, especially, City really need to strengthen and I would have thought they would have flexed their financial muscle by now.

Liverpool's starts today, but some players (Firmino, Coutinho, Ings) get some extra time off because of their International commitments.

Schneiderlin is decent as hell but he's not English and if there's one thing City don't need any more of it's central midfielders.

He's gonna play next to Lampard because NYC shelled out a ton of money for them both and that immobile midfield will get overrun by anonymous 20 year olds. They should've spent the money on a defensive player, but that doesn't sell kits.

I don't have the advanced stats for last year but I'm p sure Pirlo ran more than 90% of people in all his world cups, he just never sprints. The idea that he could be closed down by some shitter from the MLS is laughable.

e; especially with Abu Dhabi's slave blood medical team behind him.

Then laugh with me when Fat Frank and Pirlo start huffing and puffing with frustration as they lose to the Colorado Rapids at home. I was also talking about how bad that pairing is gonna be defensively, not that they would get closed down passing the ball around.
