I'm starting this up now, because for all intents and purposes, the 12-13 season is over, so we aren't really discussing it any more. Transfers, or more accurately, transfer gossip, is at the forefront of everybody's mind, it's widely expected that some of the best players in the world might be moving this summer, and we're all getting itchy already waiting for the new seasons to kick off in La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and the Premier League - just for starters - and the continuation of the match to Brazil for the World Cup for the national teams.
Anyway to kick this thread off, allow me to post a reply to the most recent thought-provoking post in last season's thread :
Some of those are hilarious, although the Hargreaves one is heartbreaking because of his injury problems. Such a waste of what was becoming a great player. He was awesome in the World Cup quarter-final with Portugal, he was like an Energizer Bunny. You couldn't even tell which team was down to ten because of how hard Hargreaves was working. We should have won that match, Hargreaves was immense and Aaron Lennon's pace was terrifying their defence. I think we would have won if Sven had shown some balls and bought on Walcott instead of bringing on Jamie Carragher because he'd been taking good penalties in training. That worked out didn't it?? Disastrous shoot-out aside, how fitting it was that the only England player to score his penalty.... was Owen Hargreaves.
