You're a Feyenoord fan, don't pretend. Start of the season is there, get hype.
It makes me particularly angry as we have qualifying games for the Champion's League, and we have our thinnest squad in years.
A couple of injuries and we've fucked. No question about it

i don't think we have signed anyone yet
They say he has a muscle injury :lol
Hopefully he leaves, along with Kaka and Di Maria.
Isn't anglo saxon just basically being british, american etc?

I wonder how players at United and Arsenal feel about the transfer activity or lack of.
Players like Tom and Giroud must be gutted cos it's obv they're not deemed good enough since that's where new players are being sought out.
Then there must be other players in the squad who are thinking what the hell is going on we need new players.

Di Maria would be perfect for Spurs. Would be a decent replacement for Bale.
Imagine we lose our qualification matches? Lol the fallout at the emirates would be epic for everyone except Arsenal fans.
Then there's players who demand new players, get new players, win the title, but still want to leave.
So both your clubs hold on to their wallets?

For some reason I think Giroud will hit 35 goals+assists this season.
Or 25 goals outright.
Or 25 goals outright.
I actually believe Di Maria would be suitable for Spurs. He's a good winger.

Arsenal players have been unexpectedly open with the media with their desire to see new faces. Every week we get another interview.
Giroud wouldn't have a problem with another striker coming in as we're very short in numbers. Wenger has quashed any speculation otherwise. He was brought in to accompany RVP anyway.
That's a big question mark if you're looking at joining a club.

I wonder if that's a factor in our slow business. Players not knowing if they'll be playing in the top European competition.

Denilson, Arsharvin, Santos and Squillaci played 23 games last season, surely your squad isn't that much thinner at all.
I don't understand your point
To be honest, the two players I wanted most didn't come either. Instead we got a nice little surprise by the name of Bojan. And Van der Hoorn of course. I bet we'll sign Duarte and then we're done.

I'd take both. We need lb competition and another winger if Bale goes.
Di Maria Soldado Lamela
With Chadli Ade Lennon as backups. Lovely.
Wake me up tomorrow with some good news.

Watching the Chelsea Season Review 12/13 while waiting for the friendly to start and I really wish we won the Club World Cup 
. I'm not sure we will ever win the Champions League again so who knows if we will ever get to play in it again
. I'm not sure we will ever win the Champions League again so who knows if we will ever get to play in it again You can have Assaidi
Gervinho, Park & Bendtner surely are the next faces out the door. The former having featured a huge amount last season.
And lets not forget that Arsenal been one of the most injury prone clubs in England over the years. We're competing in four competitions too.
I'll call a cab for him.
We really have no place for him anymore. He's a starter and we have Fischer and Bojan for the wings. I would have liked him last season

The point is that Bale and Rooney aren't from places that were occupied by Anglo-Saxons, so they can't be called Anglo-Saxon.
To be fair, very few people can but Bale and Rooney definitely aren't.

Rumours that Feyenoord were looking at Assaidi and I'll gladly take him.

Just gone back to my FPL for the first time in a couple of weeks.
Transferring Bale out. I feel like Spurs, all dat cash.

That is still only really one or two replacements needed though, arsenal just had an incredible amount of dead wood. The rest barely played or were on loan.
£10m and we'll call it quits.
That would be a big step down for him. Wonder if he's willing to come. Let alone that Feyenoord can afford his wages.
The Premier League isn't as good as it used to be.
A sentence that many have used in recent years and one that had an element of truth to it. However with BT breaking up the Sky dominance and in turn providing every Premiership club a nice transfer kitty, this years competition could be the best for a long time.
The likes of Norwich have added Leroy Fer, Van Wolfswinkel, Hooper and Nathan Redmond. Swansea have added Wilfried Bony, Southampton have bought Wanyama and Lovren...It goes on City have thrown money around on big names, Newcastle have brought in Joe Kinnear and Spurs look to have added a proper goal scorer. Liverpool have added to the squad whilst desperately trying to hold on to Suarez and bring in first team players, Sunderland look to be getting an overhaul and Aston Villa managed to keep hold of Benteke.
All of this before the likes of Arsenal and Man Utd make their moves and it all could add up to be one seriously mouth watering season.
Then we have the managerial changes that could also impact the league a lot. Can Everton toss aside the Moyes ''Don't get beaten'' philosophy and adapt to silky passing trend? Will Moyes be able to keep Utd at the top? Is Mourinho still a bellend? and how will City look after getting rid of the European mastermind that is Frosties?
The only club that looks a bit off right now is Hull City. They look to be building a bit of a straight back down squad.

Not going to happen.
Poor kid only got subbed on 4 times this season. Of course he'd leave to join the mighty Feyenoord.
People have moved around since the 5th century.
It is a commonly used term in the modern era to describe British, North Americans, Australians etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphere
Part of the reason Wilshere was injured again was because he was overplayed. We have one striker at the moment, one right back (with Sagna moving to CB, much to my dismay), no DM, one left back fit... I could go on.
We have had lots of deadwood, yes, but Arsenal's squad looked light even then in terms of usable players.

I really don't think the current squad is strong enough to even get close to winning the league.
Jesus, I'm not saying he a pure anglo saxon necessarily. But the fact that he is a white bloke who comes from Britain is important in terms of marketability.
Anglo Saxon is a term that describes that type of person.
I think you need a new fitness coach more then anything, all your players are fragile consistently.

Omg some guy on twitter just exposed the Daily Star editor. Basically told him some silly story about how he knew someone who said Ronaldo was coming back and now the Daily Star have run with it :lol
I don't say you shouldn't buy, but keeping together the current squad is an important factor in growing stronger. It's too bad us Dutch clubs hardly get the chance to build on a team for several years. It would be a miracle if Alderweireld, Eriksen and De Jong stay with us for example. Most of the time you lose your key players by the end of the season because of rich clubs :/

The Anglosphere is a term to describe English-speaking countries. That article makes no mention of Anglo-Saxon being a term to describe British, Americans, or Australians.
There is this on the Anglo-Saxon wikipedia page:
No one inside of the Anglosphere would describe an Irish person for example as Anglo-Saxon. It would be like me calling Argentinians Aztecs.
It really isn't, unless you come from a country where everyone is stupid.
Reading your last comment, it tends to have broader meaning in the US.
LINK! :lol

Kaka ain't going anywhere until 2015 when he leaves on a free to Orlando City.

This is why I'm even more worried for next year because I'm sure players like Clasie and De Vrij are going to be sold.

Follow this guys timeline
The Star editor claims that after he looked into this false lead this dude fed him he uncovered another legit source which is where his story comes from.
