Well, pre-season is underway all around England and things are shaping up nicely for another great season
The Community Shield kicks off on Sunday, August 9th between Manchester United & Chelsea.
First round of fixtures kickoff on Saturday, August 15th.
Many interesting talking points before the first whistle :
United lose Ronaldo to Real Madrid and Tevez to Manchester City. Michael Owen has signed on a 2 year contract to help out the kit man
Chelsea have Carlo Ancelotti at the helm and Pizarro & Shevchenko are back from their loan deals. Ex-City young lad Daniel Sturridge is the only real notable transfer in.
Arsenal have signed a young centre back Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax for £10 million and have a few players back from loan spells in Armand Traoré & Philippe Senderos.
Liverpool's really only piece of business is bringing in Glen Johnson from Portsmouth for a huge £18.25 million. Big money for a right back that doesn't defend but will give them a ton going forward.
And to Manchester City ...... ex-United Legend Mark Hughes with a trillion pounds behind him has gone the Real Madrid route by trying to sign every striker in Europe. Tevez signed today (now lost legendary status at Old Trafford) and Santa Cruz was bought from Blackburn for £17.5 million. He's in talks currently to bring in Adebayor from Arsenal which is interesting. Gareth Barry was also bought from Aston Villa for £12 million which is a nice piece of business. Can someone please tell him he's in dire need of anybody that can defend ?? Somehow, Micah Richards, Richard Dunne & Wayne Bridge don't cut it for me ......
Should be a great season and with Ronaldo fcuking off for the Bernebeu, there's finally a chance for a team (other than United) to win the Premiership
Thoughts, comments & general rubbish about your team, the league, etc., etc. ??
