You know the weird thing is, every time he does this, it gets him a lot of attention and sympathy lets say. Maybe that's what he craves more than anything. He needs to find some other way of filling that gap if so.

Watching a random show about newly promoted la-liga side Cordoba and they are raving about their start man..Xisco!

 

I met the Xisco fan club at Barca B vs Cordoba last season

 

Did you buy him a drink?

"Banter" is the most f***ing brain dead word out there.

 

It is basically "vague excuse for being a brainless t***". To hear that from the LMA is just beyond belief.

The word infuriates me also.

Wow ... so the League Managers Association comes out and excuses his behaviour as 'banter'?! 

That's almost as vulgar as what Mackay did!

£4 mill bid for Tiote?! 

That really is a liberty. I know a few on here don't think much of him, but that's just silly.

Our football federation is absurdly corrupt. They have been under investigation and scrutiny for "losing" tournament monies, not dispensing money to the players on time, not paying managers, etc. Yesterday their main office in Abuja just mysteriously caught fire during the middle of the working day in a blaze that apparently began in the chief accountant's (!) office. Now the vital papers detailing NFF's financial dealings look like this:

Naija is a damn mess man 

That's crazy from Ryder. Really hope he made that up.

Initial £8 mill bid for Rhodes turned down apparently. Hull to return.

Alves is such a legend

 

"We need bad people [like Suárez] in the team, otherwise I have to shoulder everything."

I like that.

Andy Cole

Okay, cool.

Hull have bid for Jordan Rhodes

 

I want him here.

 

£12m. We can do it man.

Never really seen much of him. What's his game like? Any other player comparisons?

Gosh ... that's going to be expensive if McCormack went for £11 million with a year left on his deal. Didn't Rhodes recently sign a new 5 year deal? Ha! He'll probably cost the same as Balotelli.

Don't they have to pay the larger fee also? Can't see Levy going for that.

Wonder what the odds on Balotelli biting someone are? Might have to go for that. It's so out there you just know he'll do it.

This guy needs a new agent.

Forgot about this

Think Arsenal are really screwing up by not going for Balotelli. Apparently Wenger turned down the chance to sign him. Would be a great alternative to Giroud.

You and that face man 

That fee, man, that fee. Newcastle-esque in how low it is comparative to other players being signed. FFS Shane Long went for 12M?!

It really is a great fee.

Would take both of them here.

Have you guys seen Ronaldo's ice bucket challenge 

Man, the guy takes attention seeking to another level. No need for that at all.

Forgot about those Suarez support t-shirts 

Incredibly embarrassing!

Still think he has the potential to score 35-40 goals a season, just needs to settle down at a club properly.

Liverpool are definitely betting on his potential, which is world class, but it will be no small task getting it out of him. Think they wanted to replace Suarez with a top striker with all the talk of Falcao, Cavani types, but they've been turned down. So the move kind of makes sense. I guess Balotelli has never played for a team that is as offensive minded, and so it may really click into place.

Ah, okay. That's a good point actually. West Brom already have that coaching structure, and don't really let managers bring in a bunch of staff. Okay, that would make a lot more sense.I do remember some talk of him wanting more money though, which was weird I thought.

Anyway I really hope the guy calms down when he gets another gig. Some of those side line histrionics were so cringe worthy.
