Yeah, that's what I mean. We still are in talks to sell him; it probably won't get finalised until after the election.

I hope they don't want to hype up the transfer of a player they already had in the squad

So it's now Dutch Newcastle instead of French Newcastle? Won't complain like. As a Barça fan I have a fetish for Dutch footballers And Janmat wouldn't be out of place in a WC semi.

I saw an interview with the board and players of the team Wham are playing. It happens that it's the team of the Portuguese community living in Andorra, and half the team is actually Portuguese, plus manager and board. Weird.

He's way too good for Palace, ffs. Lots of other better clubs should be in.

KaKa's puns are so horrid I can't even understand them anymore Local rags report that Boro bid 3,5m for Espanyol's Stuani.

That works out to about 60k/week. 14 goals from midfield, even if it's the Dutch league, sounds very nice. Much better if he indeed can play in central midfield (whoscored suggests he's played there the majority of the season), since I have always thought you needed somebody there with a clue.

I'm surprised to see Downing going down a division to play for Boro, even if he's a local. Before Wham decided their season was over he had been stellar for them.

Real Madrid linked to Kiko Casilla from Espanyol - it's all over our media today. Decent keeper, but not RM level. I assume it's one of those signings they do to meet UEFA's HG requirement, since he comes from their youth setup.

A month? That's more than I earn in years

Looks like Casillas is about to go to Porto. They need to make room for De Gea.

Even 11 novices would surely try and park the bus after a while?! Bet they're just attention whores doing it on purpose. It amounts to 1 goal every 2 minutes, it's insane Even the most basic timewasting would have yielded a smaller score.

No worries, puns will keep the NUFC rumours thread ticking.

Atlético threatened to sell him to another club if we didn't sign off on the transfer. "We have other buyers for this item you really want, and will sell to them if you can't commit on the spot. Oh btw, you can't use the item for the next six months, and could refund if you find you don't like it." Don't try to make sense of what we do in the transfer market. I stopped years ago.

Yeah, that's the only way they were going to sign off on him. The current board is already running afoul of our statutes by signing players during an election I'm not sure why do we want Turan for, but Luís Enrique has asked for him.

Valencia sign Bakkali - also Mendes-repped () on a free. This lad looked like the next best thing a couple years ago, but fell off the face of the earth. I guess it's a decent punt on a free.

He's had plenty of decent loans though.

It's all 3rd party ownership malarkey. Since it looks like FIFA are going to shut down the whole thing, they needed to transfer those players to Valencia. Lim has said he's gonna pump some extra €100m in shares (which would balance the books, dunno if it would run afoul of FFP though). Amidst that, Valencia's president and DoF have left the club, after being completely ignored in all those dealings.

No. Most of that money has been used to buy players they already had in the team (Rodrigo, Negredo, Cancelo, André Gomes...), which were on loan or owned by Lim/Mendes' fund. IIRC they have only added Bakkali and Santi Mina, which are both young prospects.

Dunno, there's a lot What were you thinking about?

Spending league so far. http://www.mundodeportivo.com/r/GODO/MD/p3/Futbol/Imagenes/2015/07/05/Recortada/img_hnavarro_20150704-192329_imagenes_md_propias_hnavarro_top-ten-euros-kibD--572x1267@MundoDeportivo-Web.jpg

Fuck, just noticed they've spent €100m already, on pretty much fuck all.

That's technically not possible I'm an engineer this image has my mind spinning............I could probably build something, defiantly do you a solidworks model It's not the mechanics of the act that melted my head, more the consent issue. Split personality, maybe.
