They were the leaders in the clubhouse before I came here. I wish there was another American on the team to follow. I can't see Howard being there for too much longer.

75 million, it's already spent, his buyout was supposedly more, but who knows. Trying to be cool about it, but with what Arsenal has picked up and what United have built, well, welcome back to 5th I guess.

Barely half of it is spent and they had planned on spending more before this extra influx of cash.
The team has striker options, no one obviously of his caliber, but LFC's record with him out (during his previous suspensions) has been pretty good.
The real issue last year was defense, which is where I hope to see the bulk of spending during the rest of the summer.
As for United and Arsenal stocking up, Tottenham "stocked up" last year...

If anyone is watching the United-LA Galaxy match right now on FS1, I swear to you that Rob Stone, Wynalda and Warren Barton have not stopped talking for more than five seconds since kickoff. I swear to you (not more than 5-8 seconds).

We're 30 minutes in too.

They don't need crowd noise. You can't hear it over the continuous commentary (it's like an ice hockey broadcast).

This cannot be FOX's effort towards the World Cup and Women's World Cup. Wynalda is just not good and does not come off good (in any way).

Letters from Bojan: Arriving in the mythical land of Stoke
Dear Leo,

As promised, I am writing to let you know that I have arrived in Stoke. Gerard Pique was right. It is a real place. But the tales of endless nights filled with sheets of rain and frigid wind like a witch's breath that instantly turns foreigners to stone is not true. I have seen the sun here and it is quite warm, but I realize the season has not yet begun. Perhaps that is when the horrific conditions described on the internet curse the land. I must admit that I am still quite scared.

I have signed a contract and now I must stay for four years. They keep telling me that I am a Potter now. Does this mean that I must do drugs or learn to make decorative vases? I do not know. Again, I am scared. But I will do what I must to survive.

Once I signed the papers, they put me on another plane to join the team in Germany. All of my new teammates seem very nice. Marc Muniesa is here and he seems to be doing well (if he was blinking secret messages to me, I could not decipher them). The manager, Mark Hughes, told me he is great friends with Pep Guardiola and asked me if Pep ever spoke of him. I told him no, but Mr. Hughes said that Pep was probably just embarrassed that he taught him everything he knows and wanted to keep it a secret. This made me very excited to play for such a great man! And disappointed that Pep would keep secrets like this.

There is also an actual giant in the team. He is the size of at least 17 Xavis! The other players call him "The Crouchie." He appears to be made of enchanted broomsticks. He travels around town with a beautiful princess. I haven't spoken to her yet, but I will ask her if she is the one who brought him to life with a magic spell. He smiles a lot, so I don't think he will eat me — even though I am probably the same size as his food.

I also met another teammate called Charlie Adam. He came up to me and looked at my ankles and said, "I bet these snap easy" and then walked away. I couldn't tell if he was joking on me or not. I remain hopeful that he was.

That is all I can say right now, Leo. I am very tired and I must go to sleep before Mr. Hughes tells me again that he only played one season for Barca because Gary Lineker feared he would make him look bad.

Yours in bravery,

Bojan
