Village Idiot

People, it was April Fool's in Spain yesterday. Take transfer reports from our press with a grain of salt the size of Gibraltar rock.

Not gonna get 11 players this weekend. Fucking injuries, rotations and suspensions.

The weakness of most Spanish keepers, actually. Casillas and Valdés are pretty weak dealing with high crosses too. High balls in Spain

Can't wait for Fergie's raging after the match if you manage to hold on a win

It had been long rumored. To be honest he's exactly the kind of #9 Del Bosque is looking for. A midfielder turned striker. Also dispels the myth that you have to play for a glamour team to get called up (hello José).

84 after bonuses, my best week in all season. I needed it.

71 before bonuses. Thanks Chelsea

I remember watching the game where he debuted for them, and the commentators were bigging him up like a new Beckenbauer. To be frank, I remember him playing well.

Looking forward RVP clashing with Pepe. http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/010/694/randy_orton_vs_triple_h_wrestlemania_25_aniversario_2009_display_image.jpg?1307927915

As long as he plays for us. What was that guys name. The Italian b******. What's his name. Johnny Neverplays. He snapped his knee more than a year ago. Still hasn't recovered.

BigSoccer is rivaled only by BleacherReport for the quantity of complete idiots who post there. To be frank, I love it and lurk in it often. Their collection of Real Madrid/Barça gloryhunters is pretty hysterical

If anything, a Scholes/Giggs midfield would be great for you. If you have something in your midfield is athleticism (for lack of other attributes).

This made me think of how boss an Asturian national team would look, given it's only four goats and coal miners living there: Mata, Cazorla, Villa, Michu, Adrián... that's a hell of a front five.

Michu's ridiculous. And he's not even capped yet.

Bittor Alkiza. Very classy but inconsistent playmaker from the last Athletic side to play in the CL. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mrbrk4z6VRc/TUgy0N1VwRI/AAAAAAAAB6M/VC5kVS_o5DI/s1600/alk.jpg

Loved watching him last year in Liga Adelante, he was like fucking Zidane in that division. Patrice Loko http://curiosidadesdelfutbol.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/patrice-loko-fc-nantes-1995.png

We'll export more tricky midfielders and you'll shore up our sovereign debt. Deal?

To be frank, I expect a sustained era of English dominance, probably Barça/Madrid and sugardaddy teams like PSG will be the only ones able to compete financially. Unless you all spend it like Liverpool.

I have seen people claiming that it will be 20-25 million on average more than the current deal, after all TV and prize money.

They are probably banking on the massive TV payout if they stay up. Will end in tears if they don't.

Pinto and Barça agree to a one year extension

Contract clause to play as centreforward Might as well asked one where he's guaranteed to score a brace each game
