Village Idiot

I too would like to know this, me and my brother are planning on going out to Barcalona in October and would like to catch a match. July 14th.

Suárez would have to sue them for breach of contract I suppose. I don't think he's bothered right now. Honestly, I'm pretty sure Suárez or his agent would have pressed the clause if Suárez really wanted to go to Arsenal.

Apparently another Mendes rep That said, Santi Mina is an exciting prospect. However, it's way too early for him to move to a club like Valencia. He wasn't even a starter for Celta yet.

Him and Benzema would have fun reenacting Fast and Furious in the Madrid sierra.

Valencia splurge €10m on Celta's forward Santi Mina.

I like Arsenal myself, easily my second favorite English club. Might as well like them given the way they mug us in the transfer market. They should name a stand in the Emirates after our directors of football.

Did he ever actually join them?

Get in There isn't nearly enough bollock punching in professional sport. Good lad To me, it looks like a wasted opportunity to have punched one of the most punchable faces in world football. http://img.uefa.com/imgml/TP/players/14/2010/324x324/97690.jpg

Loving Cathro going "not so fast" here http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/479258716-newcastle-united-return-for-pre-season-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=X7WJLa88Cweo9HktRLaNXhnBaDrv4zDGaeT6DFX3dVWI8KpUKOtqJbdAJt63SzEhKqfiBKIiFExfTQrl7j6pBw%3D%3D I hope he's talking to somebody attempting to take a floated FK. Or to Mike Williamson after he's put on his playing shoes.

It's been done before, i wouldn't concern yourself with that. There's plenty of other things to be concerned about though Why, gee, thanks Cathro was actually one of two assistant managers at Valencia, even.

He's always played on the wing for Atlético, drifting inside. Lucho may want him to close out games - something we've always been bad at this season - or to play him instead of Iniesta. But he's not better or that much younger than Iniesta. I just can't see him being that useful. He certainly isn't a Xavi replacement either.

and what's the problem with it? He'll be 29 by the time he can start playing for us, in a team that suffers from an aging midfield.

I know Milan will always be Milan, but seems a bit of a backwards step from playing with Sevilla in the CL. They probably still can pay better wages than Sevilla, though.

Bacca to Milan confirmed.

Turan's deal has been postponed until our election is finished. Candidates had protested that a "lame duck board" had not authority to spend money on transfers. He might wait, or go elsewhere now.

Balotelli would be a terrible idea, imho. Sure, there's a player in there but after so many wasted chances I'd rather have somebody else try to work the miracle of saving his career.

Jack looks like a midget in that pic.

Not able to play till Jan. Not sure what the plan would be if we indeed sign him.

Erm... http://www.nufcblog.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Fabricio-Coloccini-trophy.jpg That's nowt compared to http://www.nufc.com/images/2010-11images/2010-08-03trophy.jpg When I was a kid, Spanish media bigged up those summer trophies to no end. Clubs would even list them alongside their proper trophies! Always loved how massive the Teresa Herrera is, all the same.

Pretty much this actually. Lim has undermined them in the transfer market repeatedly so there was little point in continuing the façade. Lim now has full control of the board.

A bunch of our media claiming Turan is on the verge of signing for us

Amadeo Salvo, Valencia's president, has left the club together with the DoF due to differences with Peter Lim.

Proceeds go to charities, too.

I presume Eto'o has a dude managing his social media for these kind of things. I guess he isn't paying him enough.

Jackson Martínez to Atlético official now. €35m. It's a lot for a soon-to-be 29 year old, but they missed their customary dominating striker this season.
