Football Season 2016/2017

[Deleted]

Fair enough, michy seems like a decent guy and doesnt cry over getting a champions league medal and not playing enough like lukaku.

All Belgians cry in the end. It's what they do.
Or their Dads do it for them.

Ajax, from being a top club winning everything, to being KO'd by unknown clubs from Russia 4-0.

They had the option to get Mounir from Barca, if they were willing to pay for it. Instead they settle with Traoré

Good to see City fans seeing off Joe Hart in their masses:

Best Case scenario for Tottenham in the CL draw?

CSKA Moscow
Porto
Tottenham
Celtic

Worst Case ?

Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund
Tottenham
Besiktas

Think Spurs are first or second best in pot 3 so whatever group they get is probably going to be "Group of Death".

Bothered that we are not playing our home games at WHL gonna make it even harder, ah but fond memories of smashing the 2 Milan sides last time we were here.

I bet every other club hoping they get Leicester as their pot 1 team.

[Razael]

Oliver Torres to Porto is oficial. 1 year and a half loan , with a likely mandatory buyout clause . Avoiding that Financial Fair play like the plague i take it.
First signing this season i'm hyped about.

[DrMcNinja]

Cillessen signed his contract for Barca.

You can have him. A signing only Wenger would consider.

[Valeron]

well, let's be clear on this, he is only there as a backup. Ter Stegen is the starter. Cillessen will probably play in the Copa del Rey though.

English clubs to go through, then draw Barca, Real Madrid and Bayern respectively and get knocked out.

[Tommy T]

tastiest CL draw in a long time.

some crackers in there.

[Razael]

In the group with Leicester , might be this year i finally travel to England.
Out of the portuguese clubs, i'd say Sporting got the worst of it. Real and Borussia. Ouch.

[Valeron]

Spurs got probably the best draw they could hope for.

I'm ok with our draw. Juve will be tough, not sure how Lyon is looking this year, and eastern european teams are always tough to evaluate.

Rostov is pretty bad, but they managed to beat a worse side (Hi Ajax), the other are indeed a little bit unpredictable. Zagreb's pretty strong. They thumped Arsenal last season.

If we keep Lacazette we'll be okay.
Looking forward to Juve.

City got a tough draw.

[Valeron]

Man City should comfortably get 2nd I would think.

[coprax]

Groups B and G must have mistakenly attended the wrong draw, EL is missing them.^^

Was anyone seen Griesmann and this outfit today? What the fuck was that?

[Shadowmelded]

Reckon Barca will be sick of playing Celtic by this point. Bit of nostalgia for Toure and Sinclair though although hopefully seeing Paddy in action won't show City what they're missing and potentially refuse making the loan permanent (some rumours that that's Rodgers plan).

[Deleted]

Solid group for Spurs, should win that easily.

Hope Leicester go out in the groups.

[Deleted]

Celtic in for some amount of pumpings.

Glorious.

I don't agree with your keeper choices Barca (valdes /shudder)
