Don't make me disguise a lighting rod as a comely female road runner and then accidentally eloctrocute myself.

Some interesting bits circling the web today.

Wolfsburg are in for Draxler. Could be good for us.

Sporting could bid for Fernando if he lowers his wages (im guessing the move wont happen)

Roma are set to finally bid 20m euros for Dzeko

Not sure we could let Fernando go without getting a direct replacement for central midfield. We only have Fern 1 and Yaya who can play centrally.

Delph? I know he's injured. Nasri could play there if we had to.

Delph only made 97 league appearances for Villa in 6 years. It wasn't all down to injuries but he is certainly very injury prone. Yes, Sami could play centrally but maybe not in the formation MP plays?

I'm not sure we have enough with Fernando. IF most of the time City are going to play 3 of Yaya, Delph, Fern1, Fern2 that's not enough.

Take today for a small example, the midfield looked ok to me until Delph got hurt and was replaced by Navas. Next time Real went down the pitch...goal.

Yaya simply doesn't defend all the time or quickly enough, there has to be 2 midfielders behind/around him. And attacking midfielders don't count.

Im gonna be a broken record but if we were willing to pay 80m or whatever for Pogba, then dropping 30 on Witsel shouldnt be hard

I don't like us having two central midfielders when we play the better sides. We surrender midfield too often. It would be fine if we could retain possession well like Real did, but we don't. I said earlier today that the game reminded me of the Community Shield game v Arsenal.

Pellegrini says no rush for transfers because we've got till the end of August to do all we want to do. Sounds like more than one incoming but perhaps determined to drive a hard bargain.

Well at this point its 2 weeks before the season so theres no point in rushing to try and integrate into the squad before the season begins

L'Equipe say PSG have finally struck a deal with the scum for Tia Maria for just over 65 million euros. Likely to take a medical in New York tomorrow. Van Gaal has made a mistake here. He's a classy player and the scum never got the best out of him.

The announcement is coming next week:
From now until for ever Wlofsberg will be know as Wolfsberg City and will immediately be changing their fucking horrible green kit for Sky Blue.

The German Franchise is coming.
Sorry should have probably posted a Kraftwerk clip first, or Rammstein..

this would suffice. Or you could go Can if you want to be a bit more old school, tho i'd say the 80s prollee outages many on this board these days. Be patient with this clip unless you're an asshole in which case you shouldn't click on it. Mikhail defo should tho. He needs a "prog" lesson in thoughtful music and this is as good as any place to start.

We need 30 more goals to win the league and a cup, Edin is also on his way so I full expect more coming in.
