Football Season 2017/2018 & 2018 Summer Transfers

[Nerph-]

Welcome to the Football Season 2017/2018 thread!

Like previous season threads, we have certain rules to be followed.

1: Banter is acceptable as long as it's kept in good nature and not set out to insult, provoke or harass any other member of this board. Good natured ribbing is part of the fan culture of football and it's something I'd like to keep here without it getting out of hand. If you are unsure whether or not what you are about to post will cross the line of decency then err on the side of caution.

2: When referring to teams, players, managers, referees, officials etc keep your posts clear of excessive vulgar language. While emotions can and do run high, this is not a right to verbally abuse others. While they may not post here, others who may feel very different to you will. If you can't convey your opinion without resorting to a tirade of abuse please don't post it.

3: FIFA, UEFA, individual national Football Associations are not in anyone's back pocket. Unless you have any evidence that proves otherwise keep such accusations out of this thread, it brings nothing but arguments.

4: There are certain tragedies in football's history that you do not bring up to "get one over" someone else. Jokes about these events are also strictly forbidden.

5: If you have to embed an image, please try to keep the width under 1000px, 800px would be better. If you can't make it smaller (embed a small version which hyperlinks to the original using this format: ([IMG]smaller image URL[/IMG]). Otherwise just post the URL without [IMG][/IMG] tags.


A couple of general rule reminders, the soccer/handegg debates will get you a straight infraction, don't even test this theory.

Links to illegal stream sites are a complete no-no. Repeat offenders will be infracted.

Don't discuss moderation here, if you find a post to be breaking the rules, report it and move on. Arguing with the person, or commenting on them being infracted/banned is just asking for an infraction yourself.

Lastly, you may find at some point your posts being changed to pink comic sans, this is because you were clearly attempting to flame bait beyond the realm of friendly banter, and just provoke people into being hostile with you. The moderation team has no objections to pointing this out in a humorous way.

That said, let the footy commence!

2. Champs League Winner: Barcelona
6. Best transfer: Semedo
7. Biggest transfer flop: Morata

Why do you think Morata will flop?

[Valeron]

Why do you think Morata will flop?

relative to the price Chelsea paid for him. I don't think he is a bad player, just not a great one. I don't think he is a player who can lead the line by himself

Top 4 EPL: Citeh, Chelski, Fourthal, Shit

If United fail to make top four again. xDDD

Would actually take this top four to be honest.

[RobertoCarlos]

Top 4: Man utd, man city, liverpool, arsenal
Best transfer: Bonucci to ac milan
Biggest flop: Danilo to man city
Top prem scorer: Lukaku or Kane

[durrtygoodz]

Sturridge scored a cracker, and injured himself doing it.

WHO ELSE BUT STURRIDGE

[Henx]

1. What will be the top four finishing in the EPL: City, United (not west ham), Arsenal, Chelsea
2. Champs League winner: Bayern, they got to win. Interesting squad but not the easiest one to get 100% out of.
3. PFA Player of the year: De Bruyne
4. Writers player of the year: Pogba, no idea what this award even is.
5. Top Premiership Scorer: Lukaku
6. Best transfer: James to Bayern. If every puzzle piece falls correctly it could be a hell of a transfer but I'm also considering the deal. Bonucci to AC Milan is a qlose second, easily one of the top 3 centre backs.
7. Biggest transfer flop: Lindelöf to United

Newcastle, right?

[Deleted]

Lindelof is a good early shout for biggest flop to be fair - looked poo so far.

Bayern looked awful tonight, Liverpool a top class track and field outfit.

[Henx]

Newcastle, right?

To be fair they could have better chances than ManU.

PL winners 17/18 - Arsenal


sorry if the trooth upsets you. #WengerIn

You play next to Smalling and see how good you look. Dude is constantly stressing out tripping over himself. That said his confidence does look shot

Have to wait and see if he settles with bailly who hasnt featured with him yet because hes banned for the supercup
