    True but what happens if both Bony and Aguero are out injured at the same time?
    Guess it'd be time for Kelechi to step up and repay Pellegrini's faith in him.

    You take the best two strikers on most teams they'd be in trouble.....Bony has shown a history of good health generally, I doubt both the guys are injured at the same time. It can happen but you can say the same thing for 99% of teams.

    Aguero hasn't made it through a full season injury free( I might be wrong but I think he gets something that makes him miss a few matches each season).

    Def right about most teams but Chelsea look to be in good shape at striker this season(that's def not their main issue) and Liverpool should be alright in that department but United and Arsenal.... not so much.

    Meh, either way City will probably be alright as they march on towards finally conquering the UCL group stage.

    ^^
    60k seems pretty low for this type of job.

    How much is Defoe getting paid? Or maybe it's 60K per week?

    That's in pounds. That is right around 100K in USD which is a healthy salary for sure.

    Damn, what's wrong with the Dutch? Just lost to Iceland, may not make it to the EURO...

    Robben got substituted, maybe injured again :(

    This really sucks, but at least we bought Coman and it's only early in the season. No good opponents in sight in the next weeks.

    Partly due to the fact that Martins Indi was a complete and utter imbecile and got a red card by flinging his arm at an opponent. Absolutely idiotic move - he already sucks so wouldn't mind not seeing him in a Orange shirt again.

    Otherwise, I can't understand what Blind is doing. Why did he take out Huntelaar? Why not put in de Jong? Instead he crams the pitch with midfielders and no one who can do anything with a long ball or free kick/corner.

    Deserved win from Iceland. The only thing that saved us was Latvia getting a last minute goal. Now we still have the third place in our own hands. Depressing night overall.

    Really hope you guys get it done. This oversized EURO will be kinda boring anyways with some teams that shouldn't be there quality-wise. So we need at least the big names for an exciting tournament.

    Robben is already on his way to Munich. Really hope it's not too bad, not sure if Coman can help immediately.

    With the way they've been playing over the last year, the Oranje might not even deserve to be there in terms of on-field play "quality-wise".

    It's annoying to me and I'm not even Dutch.

    I haven't seen a lot of them, but I'm sure they're still among the top 16 teams (which was the ideal number for this kind of tournament). With Robben in shape, they still have a heavyweight offense. Oranjes here agree/disagree?

    Its too early to call for me,but City will be deadly for PL if everyone else doesn't improve.

    I really hope Pool show me something against United. We need 3 points to boost morale.

    So do we.

    I can't stand hoofball to Fellaini and Rooney continuing to get runs in the team. If Martial starts at CF, I'd be a lot more confident at our odds against Liverpool.

    Robben out for at least 4 weeks, according to Bayern.

    Time for Coman to give us a taste.

    Well, that puts a serious dent in our chances against Turkey. Am seriously thinking that we won't even get the third spot now. :mad:

    Yung-T, post in my Hangout thread ;)

    Four weeks... that sucks, but on the other hand, he will be back for the important games against Arsenal and Wolfsburg in late October.
