Would love it if Moyes's new job was to bring English players to Spain to play for a plucky team. If he made a difference to that mentality of staying in England it'd be great and pretty positive going forward.

I dont buy a bigger club going after Pjanic. I guess he is playing really good football right now but people have known how talented he is since his Lyon days.

I'd love Ings at Spurs. But if Moyes does it, it'll be fantastic. Imagine Moyes as the catalyst that finally gets more young, talented English players abroad.
What a time!

Not sure at all about this. Never seen any of them play, but still.

Can't wait until he re-signs Rodwell and breathes life into him again

Depending on the fee I would be ok selling Cazorla.

Replace him with Isco.

Then we have a disco.

I think you've gotten confused as to our clubs' sporting relationship.

RMadrid is akin to a fine dining restaurant.

Arsenal is just our trash bin.

Spurs are our kobe beef supplier.

Haha you must be so butt hurt that none of our players wanted to play for you. Even Wenger rejectrd your joke club. Only player who went to you was Anelka and it took you years to pay it off because your club likes to cheat on its finances.

I am awful at making skill moves work, which is ironic since I learned how to do accurate analog motions from Skate.

Isco? Fuck him. Go for Draxler like we should have landed him last year.

Man. You have the strangest opinions sometimes.

Interested in hearing why you would want Draxler over Isco.

Cant think of a single reason other than Draxler would be cheaper.

God Im sick of Kolo fucking Toure in the OP.

Can't we get a nice OP going guys? Ours just looks terrible. The only salvageable part is how each club's icon links to that club's website. That's it.

Isco would be near impossible to get out of Madrid, obviously cheaper, difference in quality I don't believe is that big, Draxler can play in more than one position and is a very good player. Bit injury prone would be my only issue.

Isco is a pipe dream. Down the lines of Pogba and Varane.

This always comes up whenever Liverpool, or Arsenal, or Tottenham are linked with players.

What bigger clubs? Do people still not realise how much the PL clubs absolutely dwarf the rest in terms of money and prestige? There are 4 clubs in Europe that can compete with them, one of which is banned from transfers. He's not a big enough name for PSG or RM, and who knows if he would fit into a Pep team.

If Liverpool do end up missing out on the CL then one of the other Prem clubs could probably outbid them, but other than that there just aren't these 'bigger clubs' waiting to strike for most of these players.

I can name you 10 bigger clubs mate.

You should try playing Counterstrike with randoms! Anytime I play with Americans the other randoms just spend the whole game taking the piss out of my English accent :/

You gotta admit it's pretty funny mate.

You should hear mine. Too bad my mic is broken
