Nearly Time For Footie Again

Sorry for the lack of posts, not too much going on football wise apart from the Olympics and I've been occupied getting myself a new job.
But the new Premier league season is closing in, the Scottish league started today and the Europa league is underway so it's time to get posting again.

The men's Olympic team play South Korea tonight for a place in the semi's, the women crashed out in the quarter finals after looking impressive in their group.
So good luck to Stuart Pearce's team tonight, if they win they will probably play Brazil who are the form team so far.
The fancied Spaniards were knocked out without even scoring a goal in their group?

West ham have so far signed 7 players - 3 Goalies, 2 Ex-Hammers, and 2 Africans one with a dodgy knee and one with a dodgy heart .. so no worries there.
Southend's Bilel Mohsni (who I've posted about before) has been on trial with the Hammers and a 150k bid has been turned down by Southend, I think I would prefer him to stay at Southend but when he has the right head on he can be a match winner possibly at the highest level but if Big Sam was thinking of signing him as a back up defender I wouldn't bother.

Transfers In (Premier league)
Chelsea have been the big spenders so far spending 4 times as much as Arsenal, Tottenham and Man Utd who also parted with some serious cash.
Mega rich Man City haven't signed anyone yet but I'm sure some big name will be there before the opening day.
West Ham, Reading and QPR have all signed 7 players so far on the cheap.

Arsenal - Giroud, Podolski
Aston Villa - Vlaar, Lowton, El Ahmadi, Holman
Chelsea - Oscar, E Hazard, T Hazard, Marin
Everton - Pienaar, Naismith
Fulham - Rodallega, Riether, Petric
Liverpool - Borini
Man City - Nobody?
Man United - Powell, Kagawa
Newcastle - Good, Bigirimana, Amalfitano
Norwich - Turner, Snodgrass, Butterfield, Whittaker
QPR - Hoilett, Park, Fabio, Green, Johnson, Nelsen, Diakite
Reading - Gunter, Mariappa, Shorey, Sweeney, McCleary, Guthrie, Pogrebnyak
Southampton - Gazzaniga, Clyne, Davis, Rodriguez
Stoke - Ness
Sunderland - Cuellar
Swansea - Michu, Chico, de Guzman
Tottenham - Vertonghen, Sigurdsson
West Brom - Yacob, El Ghanassy, Foster
West Ham - Collins, Spiegel, Maiga, McCartney, Jaaskelainen, Diame, Henderson
Wigan - Ramis, Fyvie

The rest -
Robin Van Persie should he stay or should he go?
Rangers relegated to the Scottish division 3!!
Choc-ices and 99's? well it is summer :)

Oh and thanks for all the kind words from those companies who spam the hell out Bloggers :)

    It seems obvious - Moses will lead you to the promised land, or part the red sea (shame City play in Blue).
