Shaqiri to Stoke is really going to be a huge signing for them

They have some quality attacking options now - Mame Biram Diouf, Peter Crouch, Shaqiri, Bojan, Marko Arnautovic, Ibrahim Afellay, etc. Will be interesting how they go on those cold rainy nights.

Didn't get around to doing this. I haven't really watched anything nor do I follow it closely but here goes nothing:

Title Winner: Arsenal
Champions League spots: Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool
Relegation Spots: Bournemouth, Norwich, Aston Villa
2015/16 Overachievers: Can I say Arsenal because 1st compared to 3rd is overachieving? Swansea otherwise.
2015/16 Underachievers: Manchester United (will miss top 5)
Signing of the Season: Sterling
Predicted Golden Boot winner (highest goalscorer): Sanchez
Predicted Golden Glove winner (GK with most clean sheets): Courtois
Predicted Player of the Year: Sanchez
Predicted Breakout Player: Hector!!


I'm also here to make sure that everyone gets along not that I doubt you people :)

Some of the mid-table clubs have really stepped up to start the year - Leicester, Swansea, Stoke all making good starts

Meanwhile Chelsea aren't having a great start either, to say the least...

Never noticed this thread (probably because I really haven't had much to get excited about) but holy shower, if we get Jurgen Klopp I'll be so goddamn up-and-about.

Feel sorry for BR, he's been a great manager and got closer to a title than anyone since Benitez. If we don't get Klopp, then we've made the wrong call. If we do, then it's the right call.

Also Arsenal looked unreal for the first 20 minutes last night. Some of that ball movement was special. Walcott up front looks so much more dangerous than Giroud.

The first time Wenger did it was a few seasons ago and it looked wonderful. Then it stopped and I don't know why. Suddenly it's back and it's briliant :D

Also Walcott striker has been my FIFA tactics since forever.

I'll have to stop disliking Liverpool as much as I currently do if they get Jurgen Klopp, I love that man and what he did for Dortmund.  :-*

Also, I refuse to talk about how shower our season has been so far, but all this talk of sacking Mourinho is stupid. He's the man for the job and if anyone can get us out of this rut, it's him. He's already done wonderful things for the club and getting us back up the table by season's end is well and truly doable.
