2014/15 Barclays Premier League Season


Recommended Posts

He was always coming to La Liga. Reus is taking Spanish lessons for a reason. Now will we sign him? We'll see but if we do I like him better over Bale (who should go back to EPL).

 

I love the "this player is taking ______ lessons" rumor based on what country he is reportedly moving to. It's the laziest and most unverifiable "proof" a news source can spew.

 

That said, I think there is definitely a good chance Reus goes to RM. That's mostly because I think there is a good chance nearly every top player in the world will go to RM.

His Spanish does sound improved compared to last year's (butchered some easy phrases). I don't know. Right now I'm buying the rumors. They've been strong all season long -- like the Kroos rumors during the World Cup.

 

I see it as a significant possibility. We should probably take this conversation to the transfer thread haha.

debatable but honestly I'd probably agree with you there. Officiating was awful to both sides that entire game though

 

Debuchy kicked the ball out first and then caught the dude after trying to move his leg back.  It was a good tackle.  Also, in first half defender literally tackled Welbeck by wrapping him with both hands and pulling him down in the box, nothing was called.  Arsenal was completely in driving sit until Giroud decided to go Zidan and headbutt QPR defender.

 

Even tho Giroud is gone... Chamberlain and Walcott will be available going forward.  Team will be pacey as hell.

 

           Welbeck

Alexis-Cozorla-Walcott

 Chamberlain-Flamini

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
