honestly they don't seem to be spending it that well tbh, do they need schweinsteiger and schneiderlin, when they already have fellaini, carrick blind and herrera to play in central midfield, sure sign one of them but both seems excessive when they need a top class striker and a top class goalkeeper, they could do with a top quality cb though not as urgently as the striker/goalkeeper need.

wasn't sterling tried as a wing back or right back at some stage too? Seemed to be shoved all over the place

2 years left iirc

not getting the outrage at the deal personally, sure its probably 10m too much but he still is a very good player who will get better and fills a home grown slot which city need badly and could conceivably play for them for the next 10 years plus.

how very odd, if your not going to go why have an £8m release clause put in your contract

Gerrin http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/10/republic-ireland-martin-oneill-leicester-city-job apparently the fai are cool with it because hey more money to pay john delaney with (I may be paraphrasing a bit) and apparently the replacement will be keane...........

Setting up for a Begovic to Chelsea's bench IMO. why the fuck does he want to go there (beyond the obvious £££) he has to know he's barely going to play while man utd will likely have a gk vacancy in the very near future he could fill.

why do they do that, just fucking announce it

had the same thought

excellent signing for them

certainly could have been a factor, already familiar with him and knows he'll have the team built around him with Pardew. And he knows he will be hugely indulged by Pardew. He will be dictating the show there. Wonder if there will be any dressing room resentment if they are really paying the wages reported - which must be double of any of their other players. There are not many French boys there who will hang off his every word like when he was here. maybe by some but on the other hand he's a bloody fantastic player who will help them win more matchs which could put those kind of opinions to the side

he's thinking euros next summer and getting into the french team with the added perks of london and a healthy wage packet

apparently Southampton will sue atleti if he goes to spurs but what I don't get is if he rejects them what can they actually do?

went along to the Cork City match against KR Reykjavik, decent match too 1-1 draw so not ideal for Cork but not impossible to get a result.

right before the euros (on home soil no less) its almost the ideal move, play every week in a high profile league and working with someone who he worked well with before. Throw in London factor and he'll get a nicely sized wage packet and what has he to complain about?

how very odd considering the form they had at the end of the season

don't agree with that personally Cechs in 3rd place out of those guys imho

they need the cash with the football leagues financial fair play rules, easy to play tough now but when the fine hits for the last time they were down there then their tune might change quite a bit.

I don't care what Inter sell him for tbh, I don't miss him and wouldn't want him back. We were wrong to sell him without replacement in January though. pretty much this, I wouldn't have cared about him going in the slightest if we had more actual defenders

you know I honestly thought Arsene would spend half the summer dithering over Cech and miss out on him.

and his agent Of course but then again I don't hate agents my opinion on agents is mixed to negative, I can certainly see the need for them but it certainly feels to me some of them enough to give the entire business a bad name, who don't seem to give much of a shit about what is best for their clients so long as they get their payday. Then theres the "super" agents like Mendes who basically has every major club kissing his ass because he's so powerful.

and his agent

joy not only is there the summer long sterling saga but now all summer reports of de gea sulking and moaning about not being allowed to go, blatter will probably come out with the slave shit he did with ronaldo too. Those nasty English bastards ruining players lives again. Seriously though he cost £19m? Madness to have them forcing a sale for under £25m considering how good he has become the last few seasons honestly for a "mere" £13m they may as well just say fuck it and hold him for the rest of his contract, he could be worth that much in cl and prem prize money anyway.
