To be completely honest, they aren't radically different. They both claim they are the best suited to keep doing things the way they are being currently done. Both Laporta and the current board are the most successful in all our history. Their differences, principally: Laporta: - Install Abidal as DoF. - Strip Qatar off the shirt, search for new sponsors or just go with UNICEF. - Build a new basketball court and expand the Camp Nou. Doing so modestly, so name rights don't have to be sold. - Buy Pogba this season. Bartomeu: - Collegiate "football board" instead of a single DoF. - New contract with Qatar, doubling the current shirt income. - Ambitious remodeling of the Camp Nou and surrounding area. I see Laportas proposals as quite cynical he's trying to get elected on a populist ploy. He's always been a populist, and he's damn good at striking the right chords. Abidal is loved by fans, and a lot think he was mistreated by the current board; so he puts him in there despite Abi having zero experience. Qatar is hated as a sponsor, so he goes and says he will restore UNICEF (conveniently forgetting the financial consequences of doing so). I will always credit him with bringing back ambition and belief to a club that was a zombie, but I don't think he's a great steward at all. When he left, the club had huge cash problems. Plus he's a complete, unabashed c***. I would go with Bartomeu, if he wasn't responsible himself for the transfer ban and the Neymar transfer fracas. What struck me about those two manifestos or whatever is that one of them appears intent on denying the club money and the other very intent on making more of it for the club. Can't imagine Barca would struggle for a shirt sponsor to replace Qatar mind.

Who fucking knew that meeting asking prices would lead to being able to sign players?

Interesting. Potentially signing footballers, not sure how to take this news.

I like the look of him to be honest. Strong, good in the air, neat finisher. I'd be nervous about him coming in if Pardew was still here, in fact, I wouldn't even know he was coming in. But hopefully McClaren can use him in a way other than 'hit Ba' for 90 minutes. We're really going to have to start working on getting people wide and putting quality crosses in if this lad is the plan. Currently struggling to think of another team in the league worse than us at it.

Wankers and arseholes to a man.

With our transfer policy there is no way we can build a team around him or anyone else. I don't know like, he's only 20, it's not outside the realms of possibility he might be here at least 2-3 years imo You can't build a team around a player who will only be here for 2-3 years. They need to be here for 5 years or so. Of course you fucking, and I said at least

I'll be happy with this guy like, build a system around him and hope he stays for a good few years. Be nice to have a good striker again.

Is the window on fire yet? Don't want to miss it like.

And they play a 3 in midfield right? Not beyond the realms of possibility he'll play a fair bit this season, assuming they don't sign anyone else.

Out of interest beyond Yaya who are his competitors for a CM spot? I can only think of people like Fernando or whatever the fuck he's called...what I'm saying his will he be that far from the first team with their current squad?

he really can't be going to citeh can he? it was 4 fucking days ago wasn't it?

:thup: I'm looking forward to next year when someone drops £65m on Ross Barkley. The place will implode. Jesus aye, Barkley to Citeh for 65m and a mushroom cloud over Dave's house.

dreaming of the day everyone stops getting worked up over transfer fees in the richest age of football history like benteke has scored around 1 in 2 for close to the worst team in the for the last 3 seasons or whatever it's been and he's 24 years old...we're sniffing around a probably mental serbian who has never scored in the PL and we'll probably have to pay 15m to get him it's what shit costs in the PL...no point in going to norway then complaining about how much a pint costs

shine on you crazy diamond

i know he starts off giving me a 30% discount and says the price was 35 euros...i countered with 10 euros and he drops to 32, wouldn't budge after that so i said i'll fuck off to the next shop then i did, same price

no, he quite literally couldn't have gone to man utd and played for his hometown team for +10 years becoming their all time greatest scorer and living legend in his city of birth i know you were just kidding like

how much did you pay jill? i tried haggling with the cunts in spain but they weren't budging below 32 euros

Absolutely this aye, my first choice by a mile I'd say

He could/should be key to what our midfield look like this season, him anchoring leaves us a lot of options next to and in front of him. Let's just hope them fews games of good form are just the start

There's nothing to suggest we have, betting being suspended means absolutely nothing tbh. Ah good, back to us doing fuck all then. Excellent.

I wonder if we've moved because Villa are about to come into a huge pile of cash and will need a striker...
