The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

[TCO]

MLS will finish up about half way through the Champions League so I'd imagine he'll just join up then.

[Baddar]

Liverpool have requested to play the first game of the new season away from home so that work on Anfield can continue.

IIRC, the fixtures come out a week today. Must be about time for the "leaked" fixtures to come out and be complete bollocks.

[Lineker]

McLaren officially appointed as Newcastle head coach.

[Lineker]

Mike Ashley has relinquishes position as a club director but remains owner of Newcastle.

[Colly]

I'm happy with that, McClaren plus some new coaches will be a nice change. Supposedly his contract has incentives to finish top 8 and win trophies.

[The Lusophone]

Time for Sam Johnstone to step up as token home grown keeper who never plays for United.

[Kyle]

Premier League player released list for 2014/15 season

Everton

Antolin Alcaraz

[Gazz]

Leicester will win the league.

[Baddar]

Had to Google Foluwashola Ameobi...

[Gorka]

Stephen Dobbie cannot stick to one club since he left Swansea.

You could make a serviceable lower-midtable Premier League team with those released players. Milk would probably turn quicker than them though.

[therockbox]

NO, NOT BRAD JONES.

[Cymbols]

Worth noting that Villa have offered a contract to Ron Vlaar and Chris Herd.

[stokeriño]

It's just delightful to see Chelsea keeping hold of most of our players, unlike when we last won the league and immediately released Joe Cole, Michael Ballack, Juliano Belletti and Deco (and sold Ricardo Carvalho). Bringing in only two players to replace that lot (and one of those was Yossi Benayoun)...Christ.

However when Cech's departure is eventually confirmed it will be super-sad times.

[Gazz]

Get the fuck out.

Challenge accepted.

Friedel, Johnson, Distin, Vlaar, Figueroa, Wright-Philips, Gerrard, Lampard, Jonas, Drogba, Bent.

[Gorka]

That'd be a pretty good team back in 2009.

[Colly]

Jack Jebb is a brilliant name.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

So Khumalo has finally been released. Not at all surprised. Sad about Jordan Archer and Cristian Ceballos though.

[Adam]

Time for Sam Johnstone to step up as token home grown keeper who never plays for United.

Nope, Preston's loan deal was signed with the caveat that they would sign him permanently in the summer. And they've just lost their other goalkeeper to us, so I'd say it's a lock he's leaving United.

So Khumalo has finally been released. Not at all surprised. Sad about Jordan Archer and Cristian Ceballos though.

Shame he never even got to play in the league for Spurs, he's a solid player. I would love to see him back at the Rovers.
