Village Idiot

"As" claiming that Real Madrid will sign a keeper before the window closes. Julio César tops the list alongside Ter Stegen, according to them.

Ok, my friend will be happy to hear that.

Is it? One of my best mates is from Palma and he's inquiring me if Hutton's any good.

It's true, Idiot is french originally iirc Je suis le fou du village.

I have a French surname even, maybe I should go up to trial for NUFC. I can sort of read French if it's not an overly ellaborated text, but I can't pick up 90% of speech.

Fuck's sake, I should be able to speak French... I'm part Frenchie afterall

One of the resident forum photoshop fiends should edit this: http://www.shafe.co.uk/crystal/images/lshafe/Delacroix_Liberty_Leading_the_People.jpg With Pardew's and the players' faces.

It means your pundits won't stop talking about it for the next 40+ years.

Still expect Harry Redknapp's music to hit at any point during the presser, he to come out with Remy while Sissoko slams Pardew before joining Harry's stable QPR.

To be frank, the Obertan bit saves the whole thing. Doesn't Bigi have an English passport too? And the "IN" column looks obscenely better than the "OUT" one.

Sissoko terrorized our back 6 in the WC qualifier earlier this season. I'm pretty sure he had a hand in their equalizer too. He impressed me greatly; lad looked like a relentless force of nature and Juanfran probably still has nightmares. If you bring him home, this will be the big coup of the season, imho.

That's great

There'd been lots of talk they had already signed Verdú on a Bosman, but the player rubbished it yesterday.

Heard they are looking at Gourcuff too? Reported in l'Équipe. They have been looking at a #10 since they failed to secure Diego in the summer, so it makes sense. Would give Gourcuff another chance to put his s*** together and realize his potential, too. EDIT: Heh, he's 26 already, had not realized he was so old.

Atlético sign former Liverpool LB Emiliano Insúa from Sporting CP. Good signing, since they have long needed cover there.

Agreed, didn't help his Dad went into overdrive (as did the press unsurprisingly, ready to play the 'chaos at NUFC' card). As I said a few pages ago; had his dad kept his gob shut or the press didn't go into overdrive, you'd probably have never heard about this until its resolution (and probably never if he chose to stay). I do believe Colo wanted it to be kept low key. Anyway: Debuchy Coloccini Mapou Santon Top drawer.

Cuenca's fresh off a 8-month injury and we were reportedly looking for a loan to help him get back to fitness. Arsenal are just our bitches nowadays.

Daily Express linking Isaac Cuenca to Arsenal on loan. Probably made up, but throwing it here.

Wenger the whinger. Nothing to see here; always respected him as a manager, but can behave like a spoilt child when things don't go his way. Makes me think you really pipped a player he wanted; that Thauvin fella maybe?

Watching Pérez's presser from earlier today. He was fuming, stopped short of calling Marca a bunch of cunts

Rings a bell.

Another round of Clásicos incoming then. Málaga has to score two in 15.

Drama!

Going into ET as it stands now.
