And We’re Back!!!

By: Iggy | September 4th, 2009

First off, apologies for being MIA for this past week (college+cold=awwshit). At least I’m back just in time for…wait…there’s no club fixtures this weekend…fuck that noize I’m not gonna see Peru win anything anytime soon, guess I’ll go root for Spain for Xavi and Ghostface.

Second off, that’s it, remember how the papers were saying we want that guy, and that guy, and that guy too. It’s over *sigh of relief* with the end of Silly Season and the beginning of Soccer Season we can finally enjoy ourselves with real things instead of idle speculation.

Having said that, lets idly speculate as to Chygnasty’s role in his new club (apologies beforehand, I’ll probably drill that nickname into the ground because his actual name is impossible to spell). Will he be a stalwart starter in the backline? If so, who would he replace? Will he be used as a defensive trump card because of his skill with the ball at his feet? Or will he be a benchwarmer who gradually gets himself some time?

With no other summer signings (specifically a midfielder) many people in the press (read “As”, “Sport”, and “Marca”) have made references about the team being short on backups. Shame on them, if Pep trusts the Cantera, and they have given no reason for any of US not to, then we’ll be fine. We’ve seen Jonny2Saints, Mr.Pedro, and Jeffren step up incredibly well when they had to so lets celebrate the players we have instead of pissing and moaning over the ones we don’t have yet (Fabregas).

Our Official First Team consists of:
Goalies: Valdez, Pinto Bean
Defenders: ElCapitan, Piquenbauer, Marquez, Milito, Chygnasty, Abidal, MaxwellHouse, Alves, Muniesa
Mids: BigYa, Keita, EngineMan(Xavi), Ghostface(Iniesta), Busi2.0
Forwards: Messi, Ibracadabra, Henry, Mr.Pedro, WonderBoy(Bojan)

Players who we’ll most likely see throughout the season from the cantera: Jonny2Saints, Tiago, Jeffren, Fontas

Man it’s nice to be back.

  I think we’re great in terms of depth. We have less players this year than last year but Hleb doesn’t count. If we’re lucky with injuries this year, we’ll win everything.
