Village Idiot

Still coming to terms with the fact that selling Joel covers Atlético's purchase of Villa. Callejón to Napoli done, apparently, for €10m. Decent player, but don't think he's good enough for that level.

Loan? Transfer. €4m-€5m according to some other media that are picking it up.

Really want the Nigerian league to be playable in FM now.

Joel to Everton according to Marca. Martínez definitely reassembling his all-conquering Wigan side, Neil will be happy.

Fucking hell, I had not noticed Scholes' sickly twisted ankle and there's now way I can unsee it now So that's why he can't tackle.

Mine had paragraphs!

Indeed, it's been done earlier this year. Draw's just been made and you can check the fixtures over at Marca if you wish: http://www.marca.com/futbol/primera/calendario.html

To be frank I had a Snake Plissken moment when I saw his name again.

I trust Lambert far more than any Villa manager of recent years. It's great how upbeat all Brum fans I met (ok, all two of you and a lad I met in the US) are about Lambert, despite a supposedly disappointing season table-wise.

Heh, one good season and already wants off. Footballers... Clubs should be able to put reverse transfer requests and force overpaid cunts to leave their clubs after one bad season.

Maybe didn't want to uproot his family from Spain, didn't he become a dad recently? That's what it's claimed, that he didn't want to leave Spain. Plus he'll have a better chance of being picked for the WC playing in La Liga, imho.

Well, he's still unproven, but very highly rated. Not your usual Barça midfielder though, he's more a box-to-box centremid in the English mould. It's impossible that this is happening UNLESS a) Thiago stays or b) We are signing another midfielder.

We can't be loaning Sergi Roberto to Ajax. Where have you found that? He's too highly rated and everybody assumed he'd be in the first team next year.

Apparently Villa turned Spurs down, who offered more money. Might be our media doing damage control, mind.

Problem with Villa is that his fitness has declined drastically after his year-long injury, coupled with age. He's not a player that you can start both the weekend and then midweek CL ties. He usually was winded at around min 60 in any demanding fixture this year. Other than that, he's still an excellent player. Atlético only need one of Adrián and Baptistao to come good this season to have enough upfront to get by.

Anybody wants Piqué for €3m? Messi for €15m? Shola-Pedro player swap? f***ing hell, what a useless board.

Aye man, our transfer record overall is stuff of nightmares (except if you're an agent). Sometimes I wonder how the f*** can we be so successful. Well yeah, the 3-4 best players at the club came from our youth ranks, we'll be f***ed when our luck runs dry.

What a fucking bargain at that price, we just can't sell for shit Can't believe Spurs haven't gone for this if their interest was real. Massive discount.

Another for my rapist XI. Too many strikers though. Ranger seems to leave no stone unturned regarding fellonies/life mistakes.

Haidara/Anita/Mbiwa best cover we've got. It's enough imo. Don't rate Tav. That's two players out of position and only one natural backup though. Anyway, you know these players better than me.

It was an inquiry, not really a bid. Couldn't find the proper English word, sorry.

Real Madrid have had a bid for Balotelli turned down, according to "Il Corriere dello Sport".

Your avatar makes everything you post sound so depressing in my head

Aren't you a bit thin on depth for both FBs? Or are the kids good enough?
