Yeah looks that way on first impressions, just need confirmation. Will be mint if it was stitched on, especially when it costs 50. Edit: Just saw Sargey's reply.

Is the gold badge stitched or printed on?

It shows the change of jerseys over his career too. Nice touch.

AS if Man City will care about having too many players for each position. They'll just chuck out what they have when a new and leet 'toy' becomes available.

What's his release clause like?

Man City is a good shout. Could well explain why Mancini can afford to say 'go if you want' to his players including Tevez in contrast to how desperate they were for him to stay in Jan. Not to mention Tevez is still very much undecided over his future.

Tbf Dawson and King were unstoppable in that match.

Well, not really. They are safe.

Guess the image of the post-match conversation between Brady and Whelan is most likely about loaning the 'sack room' then. Classless owners.

Doesn't look as bad as the earlier photos. Will still wait to see the players wearing it before judging. Some kits look better/worse when worn.

S.Am (Sammy) + Sh.Am (Shola)

Let him have the Busquets. Nah he won't even play.

Their away and third kits are mint though.

You stole it off them and then tried to make it sound like they copied you, classless tw*ts.

I think it's around 6m. Should have robbed the c***ts for much more though considering the inflation that goes with Man City.

I knew you will come in here. He didn't do too well in the WC did he? And many people can tell you he isn't as good as he used to be. By that definition, that's decline. Besides what has medals got to do with his performances? Muntari has won the CL since he moved to Inter so that makes him a better player than his time in England?

Valdes and Casillas were from the youth systems though? Van der Sar was in his 30s and Fulham must have thought his career wouldn't last much longer. Too bad it turned out to be a bargain for Fergie. Fair enough for Cech but Julio Cesar had only a couple of good seasons and he has decline sharply after the WC.

It's the way valuations are perceived. I remember reading as part of Lyon's transfer policy strikers will always be the most expensive while keepers will give you the most bang for buck. Any top club with an inch of foresight will spend what is necessary to get a great keeper though. Having one solves a tricky position for a decade or more by virtue of it being a less physically-demanding role and the experience that comes with those years of playing. You'll also hardly ever lose the services of a GK as compared to an outfield player. I think Fergie has learnt big from his past mistakes and will splash on a keeper this summer.

Not to mention him going into the last year of his contract. Guess the rival interest from clubs like Man U are getting Bayern desperate. Top keeper deserving of commanding a huge fee though. 25 this year so he can easily play on for another 10-15 years.

Enjoy, VI.

Ref might as well end the match now.

Pique has been poor today. Too weak from shagging Shakira much?

Nolan Roux & Cheik M'Bengue would make things confusing next season. Luis has already made Enrique confused this season tbf.

Usually around 10 matches a week on here in the States. We get two/three live on Saturday, two (if there are that many) live on Sunday, then we get all of the weeknight (Mon/Tue) matches live as well. Then they will also show tape delays of matches that were played when more "marquee" matches were on earlier in the day. All games shown live over here. The BPL is undoubtedly big in Asia. The La Liga and Serie A are not as strong comparatively, and their insane broadcast hours do not help either.
