Journalists have a better success ratio in August because: a) Things are actually happenning b) clubs don't have the time to be discrete.

We are moving away from the football, and towards general Olympic issues. I'll take this debate in the Olympic thread.

About 90% sports in the Olympics are professional these days. The Olympics is about being the best, and the best sportsmen are proffessional.

Even better, tell Sporting that we'll match the asking price if they tell Everton that they are lowering the asking price. Everton give the saved money to us for Smith, and we redistribute the money towards meeting Moutinho's asking price.

Now for the real quotes: "Estoy ansioso por jugar a Kevin Keegan, por no hablar de Terry McDermott, ya que ambos tenían la experiencia de jugar con una permanente al más alto nivel. Con el paso a Newcastle, podría incluso crecer un bigote para conmemorar mis héroes de la años ochenta. Newcastle fans pueden estar impresionado con Jonas Gutiérrez del cabello, pero puedo asegurarles a todos que mi cabello Poos sobre Jonas de un alto nivel." Anyone care to translate?

Because it is not a real quote

Too good a translation.

Is it impatient to have wanted this done in plenty of time before Valencia, so that he could have played against them to help him settle a little prior to Manyoo?

Nope. Didn't even mention Luque.

With the Olympics going on, making the squad for Belarus is a slightly diminished achievement. Wait and see how often they appear in other squads. Potentially a double-magnified Solano problem here though.

And Nugent is too old, eh Dave? I'm sure there are others in the world who can do a better job than Jimmy Bullard and David Nugent.

To describe the red card to those who didn't see, Rafinha pulls something off the ball and is rolling about injured, after playing on for a couple of minutes, ref notices that Rafinha is still down, so sends of the last player to touch Rafinha before he went down.

Jo puts it in back of the net but is offside.

Just watching the last 5 minutes of Brazil vs Belgium. Brazil 1-0 Belgium Belgium down to nine men and just been the victim of the worst refereeing decisions I have ever seen.

Blame Ronaldo.

Get In.

'Officially,' but the fee he'd have to pay means that we'd have to subsidise it.

Return of Keegan brings the return of the awesome hair. Gutierrez Colocinni Mr. Dread

Is there any idea of how much roughly we did spend on him? I was on holiday when the deal went through, and I'm not reading 40 odd pages. Estimates vary from £1-3m with theories abound that Mallorca may try and sue us for £8m

Craig just has that axe to grind against Keegan after Kev totally humiliated him at that press conference.

Shame none of us had the presence of mind to hit print screen.

How on earth do you look like a footballer? Early twenties. Mario Melchiott hairstyle Expensive clothes Generally looking out of place in the stands.

From my first viewing, the thing I liked the most was how he could pick the ball up from deep and run with it dodging left and right at pace, just like Dyer used to. Only his crossing is better.
