Note: random pictures ahead. I don't know the scores, so corrections are welcome
deGea will stay on this season and leave on a free next season, it's assumed. If it's in RM's direction, he's in line for €5 million.
They still have to play in the Nike kit on the preseason tour, but um... they play in Adidas next season
Played against club America. 5-0 or summat. Schniederlin scored the first goal
Schniederlin reminds me of Van Persie fleetingly. No judgement
Fans turned out and turned up
SMH, SMH. *blinks*
The feedback on Schweinsteiger has been good. Commanding in field, that sort of thing
Sea and sky of people
Schweinsteiger's time machine
LA Galaxy
Not even David Beckham got this much coverage when he went to the MLS, tbh
Scored for LA Galaxy, set up a goal, had a hand in a couple of goals
Beckham was watching from the stands
He still wears his Liverpool shin pads. *try not to cry. Cry*
Liverpool vs Brisbane Roar
LFC, with the departure of Gerrard, Suarez, and having no established 'stars' have had noticeably smaller numbers on their tour (in Thailand, anyways)
Origi is back from loan (he went to a French time) and was slammed for being overrated and having as much use as a chocolate teapot. So we decided to tap him up for this season
Ings in action
Clyne in action. I got downvoted to oblivion when I suggested that his move from Southampton to LFC was more horizontal than vertical and short of money, it made no goddamned sense. Like, I could understand if he'd moved to Man United in terms of coaching, being back in Champions League, etc. But LFC is still slogging it out in Europa like the newly arrived Southampton. I might be an LFC supporter, but that doesn't mean that I'm stupid, does it? Be kind.
OP: done! Have a good day! Any cheers, jeers, corrections and pushback against commentary, you know the drill! Tomorrow I'll try and have more pictures of teams abroad (including Dortmund and Real Madrid). The post is too long already, and I have to dash. Oh, if anyone has a good, tried and tested cornmeal bread/muffin recipe, link me!
