Is he the Asamoah who plays for Germany?

No he's Ghanaian.

EDIT - As in, plays for Ghana.

Hazard, what a troll :lol:

No one forced him to hype up how he was going to announce where he was going to next season yet after all the fuss and build up he gave, all he said was "idk" more or less Lebron James can get away with this sort of gooseberry fool because he's arguably one of - if not the big name in Basketball.

Congrats to Montpellier though but there's no doubt that PSG are going to splash the cash like crazy in the summer so they'll have one hell of a task to retain next season. They've got some quality players as well, so another question is whether they can keep a hold of them.

I think Giroud and Yanga-Mbiwa will join a Premiership team this summer.

Hopefully Arsenal, it'd be amazing if they could make a run for the title next season. There's going to be a crazy amount of talent in the PL.

I'm pretty sure there's been a "good Kompany" headline for every single goal he's scored at City :fp:

The comeback is Bassong.

What's the general consensus on RVP, staying or going?

I think he'd be the perfect player to solve Liverpool's goalscoring problems and I'm sure Benitez can persuade him.

Pretty sure he's already said in interviews that CL football is a must.

Hazard really is coming across as a bit of a fool. United should really go after someone else.

I dont hink it will be an issue. It's a done deal - he's just toying with it to get a few quid more.

That's twice you've mentioned me randomly and negatively. Odd.

I wouldn't ever slag him off - I know where Norwich are on the food chain of football. If he wants to move, he can. He's 31 if we can get £5-6m everyone is happy.

City are gonna have a good time taking Tottenham apart. Like a buffet.

Pretty unfair on Spurs, feel sick tbh. It seems as though events have conspired against us once again. We will be back next year though. I blame Daniel Levy for not spending £50 million + on a few top class strikers. Now we have lost £80 million. Nice work.

Seems Torres is considering his future:

I empathise with him, but he only came into form towards the very end of the season and Drogba had to start the final. Now I really think we need to let him lead the line next season, so DDA will have to go. What a way to end his career, I really think it is perfect for him to move on now.

According to reports in the Dutch media, Frank De Boer has said he's flattered by an approach by Liverpool, but he's "just getting started" at Ajax. Also, has Solskjaer said that he's definitely staying at Molde? Either the Sun or the Mirror claim that Villa are look at Di Matteo now in light of Solskjaer deciding to stay.

Today's going to be interesting for Torres because i believe Vicente Del Bosque announces more of his squad to do - which players from Chelsea are at least in the provisional (or he may be announcing the final squad). He was woeful for the most part of the season and VDB openly said his place was under threat, but he improved towards the end. You'd imagine it'll be Soldado, Llorente and Torres (and maybe Adrian, though he might be classed as a winger) for the strikers for Spain.

Has Villa been ruled out?

Broken foot, so I presume so.

Ah, okay. It seems like he's been out forever.

Well, that's a positive at least.
