Looks like United are splashing the cash on Monaco's Martial. I like him quite a bit and he should be a good striker, but not this season.

he's a what now?

Devise will never bring himself to rebuild. Europe next season... I might have implied this already but...

I'm just saying Waldron is a spectacular human being.

For what it's worth, I think Waldron should be able to play forever.

Mag article requires dramatic changes. Holy shit Europe next season though.

Good luck Nuck, great teammate in Yukon and I'm sure you'll do well in the VHL.

And presumably the Vikings and Express bias.

Fortunately for the rest of us, strikers aren't just lying around waiting to be picked up by van Gaal and his terrible philosophy. I'm very glad City are the only team to have bothered coming out for the first 4 games, it could have been much worse for Chelsea.

Anyone keeping tabs on the S45 VHL Entry Draft Rankings posted weekly throughout S44 will have noticed the considerable amount of not only goalies, but defencemen as well, and a relative lack of forwards. It does appear, however, that the addition of high-flyers Phil Hamilton and Biggu Kyanon as well as dark horse Bubba Nuck will be very welcome in the VHL. Two events pinpointed the lack of defensive quality present in the league at the moment. The Super Cup draft thread revealed that only four defencemen have more than 500 TPE in the VHL, one of which is inactive S41 bust Jack Kowalski. The list did not include GM player Lloyd Light but is nonetheless pretty shocking to see. The dearth of defensive options is further illustrated by the Sterling Labatte Trophy ballot and the All-Star Game ballots for both Europe and North America. Season 44 marked just the fourth time since S24 that no defenceman had 100 points and the previous three seasons were part of the dominant runs by Daniel Braxton and Conner Low. Jake Wylde, the recent shining light on the back, should just about get his second straight Labatte, but it will not be particularly convincing. Coupled with the lack of Hall of Fame quality heirs to the S36 class of goalies (Wahl, Szatkowski Jr., and Brookside), this era seems to be a scoring forward's dream, but hopefully the dying art of defending sees a turnaround sooner rather than later.

Our salt levels are a bigger problem than cholesterol.

That awkward moment when Ruutu isn't even a defenceman. NA so bad.

Just one Davos player.

Should give the new Baba Rahman fella a run at left-back, switch Azpilicueta to the right (that's where he played before Mourinho). Willian needs to fuck right off from the first team with his wayward passing, shooting, and general midtable level of football. Move Fabregas in number 10 role, alternate with Oscar if need be. Or even with Costa with Falcao up front like in their Atletico heyday. Hazard and Pedro down the wings is fine as it is. Matic needs someone alongside him who is capable of defending so I guess Mikel? Sad times.

The Mountain can PIM too. Pick me coach!

Slaughter had 21 hits once? lolno

What a legend. We gonna win the league!

So Stamkos vs Paramorise in the final.

the comeback is on, AWOOOOOO

not quite yet

worst Yukon GM of all-time

So let's assume half of Calgary isn't biased or hasn't voted yet - it's quite clearly an anti-Quebec bias more than pro-Calgary.

Did you get a Founder's Cup?

Mourinho and third seasons have that effect. 2006/07 - no trophies, left soon into 07/08 only spent two seasons at Inter 2012/13 - no trophies, left after pissing off half the team I'm not sure what the problem is. Conceding two goals per game is a no-no but surely it wasn't just Terry being great last season which somehow masked all the problems. How is it possible that the whole back four becomes inept over the summer? Attacking wise it's still good, even better with Pedro and Falcao is looking at his best in a while. It's just defending which I never thought I'd say. City are gonna win the league though.
