if it was common knowledge it sounds like he might have had a number of other suitors like

gotta be scouts and agents talking informally and letting things slip surely?

hope they end up having to rely on him next season then, see how that works out

fyp

all noise from CFC seems to be about yoof these days, drogba & anelka to leave and have torres/lukaka/sturridge/kalou? can see them shipping anelka myself now like, not sure where he'd go mind

gotta be trolling there

weird shit from fergie, can't rate the likes of bebe and the italian kid if he's keeping this knacker hanging about

west ham fans must be fucking livid, anyone been trolling about their fan sites?

that would be bad, very bad indeed

would'nt say no to that 70k per week say makes a total expenditure of 17.5m GBP roughly with zero sell on value anyone honestly think MA will go for that? even if he was being sold that cheaply, which i doubt

no-one saying it's impossible but his age, wage and fee would surely be too much for MA

Just found this - Goal.com France's Ligue 1 expert, Robin Bairner: "In the past, he has compared himself to David Villa, which is certainly not unfair in terms of his playing style or physique, though he clearly has a long way to go to match the success of his Spanish counterpart. " Nailed it really.

6 mil for Bassong, no ta. really?

to be fair if we got them we'd have mid: zog hba cabaye tiote nolan barton (?) jonas striker: gameiro shola best loven (ship out?) ranger can't see as we'd end up with any more signings myself, other than 1 ins 1 outs still look horrifically light in quality up front for me even playing a 4-3-3

same boat as ian, just seen some youtube clips but one is a striker and we need a fucking striker desperately gervinho is seen as more of a wide man, they're easier to pick up so gameiro for me

WTF Taxfree, is this all Twitter horseshit you're posting everywhere? can't you keep it in the fucking twitter thread or at least quote proper sources annoying as fuck tdeans

has fat sam signed up for west ham yet?

i was using the de jong thing as an example of a tactic that goes wrong - "go out and put a hard tackle on HBA early on nigel, let him know you're around" ends up with a broken leg "use simulation to break up madrids game and keep it scrappy, don't let them get into any rhythm" ends up with the players with a tendency towards the histrionic taking it too far seem to have reached some type of accord on the situation now anyway

who said anything justified what they did? most of us are taking issue that it should somehow take the shine off their overall triumph or makes them a team not worthy of respect or other equal horseshit

gameiro's family are spanish aye? would seem clear why he's angling for spain really that being the case move on to the next target please

Not going to argue the other points, but this one... There's already lots of arguments last year, mate. Not in here, but in other forums. i mean to that extent though, i can't say that i've ever heard Barca being as vilified as they were for the semi against real - yes they've had their fair share of diving and simulations (cheating) but in the past has it ever really been to that level or much of a muchness for what's seen throughout the game these days? they deserve some shit for that semi, but honestly the way alpal is beating the fucking drum about it you'd think that's all they ever did also mourinho's porto were arguably worse the season they beat celtic in the waffa cup imo

great idea for this to be split into a thread of it's own
