[/pisstaking]

idk I'm not really up-to-date with European clubs... I'll randomly plump for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar because his name's badass.

[Iceman]

Who's the new guy Hodgson brought?

Piszczek and Lewandowski for Poland

Just won the Bundesliga and potentially Piszczek is the best RB in the world right now

[King Gizzard]

Who's the new guy Hodgson brought?

Oxlade Chamberlain :pipe:

[Iceman]

Oxlade Chamberlain :pipe:

What a first name. Is he any use?

[King Gizzard]

:joker: his first name is Alex his second name is double barrel

He's alot better than Walcott is that counts for anything

[King Gizzard]

James McClean..it's a shame Sheamus Coleman fell off and Ciaran Clark didn't get picked

and James McCarthy having to pull out for personal reasons

[Locke.]

He is good but he is getting overhyped by the commentators and the people talking before the games... doubt he will even get that much game time really

[King Gizzard]

Andriy Yarmolenko

Ukranian Messi apparently

[Ryan57]

Christian Eriksen? Perhaps too well known for this list. Although i'm sure not everyone knows about him.

[Marc]

You're going to be helping me when I watch this with family or friends. Saving me from looking like a boob

[Novo]

Jelavic

wouldn't be surprised if he did a Sukar and finished top goalscorer

Alan Dzagoev

[bbfan1991]

Javier Martinez:).

[Shaun]

When I was walking to my new house to pay a deposit the other day a man was shouting at another man "SHEVCHENKO" and we happened to be talking about getting a cat next year, so that's what we're calling it if it happens.

Out of interest is Shevchenko still alive?

Yeah, he's still alive. :hugesmile:

Said he was going to retire after Euro 2012 but has gone back on it. Such a quality player in his Milan days.

[Legend killer]

[Legend killer]

Real talk though John Walters is gonna be a major player in the tourney

[Ryan57]

Real talk though John Walters is gonna be a major player in the tourney

Indeed. I reckon he'll finish as top goalscorer in the tournament.

[Novo]

Is that sarcasm :joker:

[Legend killer]

Ryan don't be silly he gonna be starting from the bench but his energy is gonna be a big plus in the last 20 25 mins i fully expect the winner to come from him on Sunday

[Novo]

Expect it to come from Jelavic

[Legend killer]

Dunne >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jellyfish

Also want to give a shout out to Strootman will by far be Holland's best player hopefully United get him

[Ryan57]

Expect it to come from Jelavic

This.

[King Gizzard]

Alan Dzagoev

Don't understand how he's not at Chelsea yet

[bbfan1991]

He might be on Manchester City's radar now or even Arsenal.

[Shaun]

If he keeps scoring in the competition he'll probably be out of Arsenal's reach :(

Arsenal confuse me with their transfer capacity. I know Wenger favours the cautious approach but I'm not sure about how much they could potentially spend. I'm sure I read somewhere that they were in the top 5 clubs in the world financially. This was prior to Man City's buyout though.

[Shaun]

Yep. Published April this year:

1. Manchester United - $2.235bn (£1.396bn)
2. Real Madrid - $1.877bn (£1.17bn)
3. Barcelona - $1.307bn (£816m)
4. Arsenal - $1.292bn (£807m)
5. Bayern Munich - $1.235bn (£770m)
6. AC Milan - $989m (£615m)
7. Chelsea - $761m (£473m)
8. Liverpool - $619m (£385m)
9. Juventus - $591m (£367m)
10. Schalke 04 - $587m (£365m)
11. Tottenham Hotspur -$564m (£351m)
13. Manchester City - $443m (£275m)

wtf do they do with it D:

[bbfan1991]

Paying off the stadium?

Wenger needs to definitely add more quality if Arsenal are going to sustain a challenge towards the 2 Manchester clubs because the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and even Liverpool all will go out and spend lots of money to try and challenge for the top 4 next season.

[bbfan1991]

Ivan Rakitic- Croatia midfielder who plays his club football for Sevilla FC:).

[King Gizzard]

I like Badelj for Croatia

[KG.]

Dzagoev :worship: Can't see how he missed that second chance though.

Reckon Van Der Wiel will have a decent competition too.

[bbfan1991]

Van Der Wiel is another one linked with Chelsea, how are they going to keep making these signings with no manager installed yet and frankly not caring about the FFP?

[King Gizzard]

Jetro Willems for Holland and Adam Maher (if he even gets a chance which is doubtful)

[KG.]

Olsson could do well for Sweden too, and he's another one linked with Chelsea :laugh:

[bbfan1991]

Jonas?:D

I have got Sweden on the TIBB Sweepstake!

Nah Martin Olsson, apparently Chelsea were looking to take him from Blackburn as a long term replacement for Ashley Cole, I guess we'll see if he's capable enough in Poland/Ukraine.

[bbfan1991]

Is he really good enough? I think Ryan Bertrand is a young lad who has lots of potential but they are wasting some of this young talent by keep splashing the cash and not even giving some of the academy lads a chance...

[King Gizzard]

I'd have him here..better than warnock

then again anyone's better than warnock

[bbfan1991]

Erik Peters is a good Dutch LB too. He was linked with Newcastle last season before they opted to sign Davide Santon.

It's a confusing one. Is it Wenger not spending? Or the board stopping him?

We'll probably only ever know the answer if Wenger is sacked or leaves and cites finances as the reason.
