Premier League 25-man squads - ESPN Soccernet

Very surprising that Arsenal have not named Frimpong in their 25, while disappointingly McEachran doesn't make Chelsea's 25.

BBC Sport - New Premier League squad rules explained

- Clubs can supplement squad with unlimited number of players under the age of 21.

In other words, players under U21 from the clubs do not have to be registered within the 25-man squad. They can be freely picked and dropped anytime.

I would have been more surprised not to see Szcezny and Wilshere.

Everton are incredibly short, things don't look like they'll go to well for them.

Btw, Goal.com > ESPN Soccernet.

Much more up to date news and far more accurate. Mind you, there are far too many barely literate Nigerians commenting on the articles.

 

[JBlues08]

I would have been more surprised not to see Szcezny and Wilshere.

And Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck is not listed in United 25-man's squad too.

 

[BKB1991]

So which is the preferred site you guys use for football updates? I generally use ESPN soccernet, as I heard goal has too more rumours than facts

 

[Haarithan]

Soccernet >>>> Goal.com

Goal.com is all about gossips, soccernet on the other hand is trustworthy.

Fernando'h Torres!

[JBlues08]

I basically go to Soccernet, Sky Sports, BBC, Guardian and sometimes Telegraph for football news.

 

[P Squared]

BBC football and sometimes soccernet

 

[Themer]

BBC. If its on the BBC its near enough 99.99% going to be right. They only ever publish anything when they know for a fact unlike other websites which seem to happily go on rumours.

 

[War]

Ye BBC and Espnsoccernet are the best two reliable football websites.

After that i'd say dailymail, guardian and the telegraph.

 

[Auwais]

Sports Illustrated is another good one.

 

[War]

Sports Illustrated is another good one.

Ha i never realised they dealt with European football or any non-American sports.

BBC Sport - Arsenal suffer Thomas Vermaelen injury blow

This is why Wenger should have bought Samba, Vermaelen was always going to be risk to last a season given his injury record. Now he is stuck with his dud defensive quarter of Koscielny, Djourou and Squillaci.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Koscielny and Djourou are duds? They're inconsistent but you can't doubt their talents, especially Koscielny. Don't forget Mertesacker, he's a very solid defender who I think can work well with Koscielny. Koscielny is the kind of player that goes to attack the ball quickly and can often get drawn out of position and Mertesacker is a very intelligent defender who uses his positioning to overcome his lack of pace.

 

[Bevab]

He should look at selling Squillaci, and then buying Samba or Cahill.
