Guardian: Europe's Top 50 Transfer Targets in Pictures

[pana]

you forgot the word 'thread'

[delgriffith]

The old one didn't have thread, I thought I'd keep it that way.

[pana]

i just realized the old thread title also lacks that word

[fury]

this is gonna be the first season im committed to a team. hope newcastle can get some people to fill the hole of carroll and make a push towards the top half of the table

[iambic]

I like that it is soccer that is ongoing rather than the thread

[miss black america]

hey you bastards, i'm still here

[number none]

a season recently ended?

[starttomelt]

first time my home team is qualified directly for the group stage of the champions league. gonna be an exciting season.

[number none]

Looking like Barcelona are going to sign Alexis Sanchez. Goddammit.

[Toofer_Spurlock]

Looking like Barcelona are going to sign Alexis Sanchez. Goddammit.

I hope Liverpool can pick up Affelay on the cheap because of this. Someone will.

[number none]

Affelay's name is being bandied around as a make-weight in the potential deal for Fabregas

[Toofer_Spurlock]

Barca's insistence that it's their right to have Fabergas decorating their bench is continually baffling.

[number none]

Not really when you consider the importance of Barcelona to Catalan identity. Fabregas is one of their own and there's always been the assumption that he'll "come home" at some point.

[iambic]

a season recently ended?

the football season in most European nations is roughly August/September to the end of May

although international tournaments are often held over the summer, too

[mites]

somehow I managed to stub only my ring finger on my left hand. how the fuck do you do that

[Pris]

[Pris]

First though tonight's Brazil - Netherlands: IT'S PERSONAL grudge match. Looking forward to it, think I'll go watch it in a pub. Had so much fun last year with the world cup, even if it was during a freakin' heatwave.

[iambic]

did you guys see that Italy are good now

I am sure it will all fall apart by tournament time, but thank the lord jesus for Prandelli

[delgriffith]

Should not have included an England win in my weekly accumulator bet. They're all that separates me from £50.

Italy were also a part of it, so thank you Italy for doing your job. England take notice.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

What would be a good team for me to half-heartedly follow?

[iambic]

what are your favoured criteria for following a team

[delgriffith]

There's no way your criteria could be as bad as what Spartacus drew up.

[Toofer_Spurlock]

You'd probably make a good Fulham supporter, SVC.

[Spoilt Victorian Child]

Plusses:

-- Likable, creative players
-- Young-ish
-- Competitive
-- Possible to watch their games in the US
-- American players

Minuses:

-- The Yankees (Barca, Man U, etc.)
-- "Cynicism"

[delgriffith]

Anyone watching the England game? I can't really be bothered to stream it, I'm fairly sure that I won't be winning this bet. Why is Milner starting?

[Toofer_Spurlock]

You'd probably make a good Fulham supporter, SVC.

[Toofer_Spurlock]

Fulham, Everton, and Aston Villa are your best bets.
