BillClinton Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Diego Forlan to Toronto s***, I'm gonna watch Toronto games now. That would be the only reason to, I'm pretty sure they're terrible. He could have come to a decent team at least.. He still looked like a dangerous player in the Confederations Cup. It seems like he shouldn't have to play in MLS yet, but I thought that about Henry too. Good for the league tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Woah, okay. If he can score goals for Internacional, he can score them for Toronto. I'm still not sure what the hell Ryan Nelsen is doing up there though. I don't think he knows either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Is stuff like this good for the league, or just good for the owners? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Forlan's still a very good player, certainly has what it takes to play at a high level in MLS. Though Toronto hasn't had the best of luck with aging DPs in recent seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Is stuff like this good for the league, or just good for the owners? In terms of status, reputation and fan interest in the league, then yes. Who knows if it actually leads to the team being successful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Arsenal bid 30m for Suarez. Rejected. I would have thought Wenger wouldn't have had the cunt anywhere near one of his squads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 RM rejected their bid for Higuaín, so I guess he's getting desperate. Didn't Real just want an extra couple of million on the transfer? 19 million to 21 or something like that? And Arsenal wouldn't budge. Then they offer 30 million for Suarez (they basically knew that would be laughed at) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 €27m against €30m according to our press here. So maybe they just rate Suárez more and thought that with a little more money they could have bagged him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 And before froggy asks about Thiago, we return to training next Monday, so widely expected to be resolved during this week. There's no formal offer from ManU but it is understood that they'll just agree a contract with Thiago and then pay up the clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've never heard of this Mkhtiryan guy, like. That's of no relevance to anything, but I'm always a little bewildered when fees like this are being thrown around for people I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's of no relevance to anything, but I'm always a little bewildered when fees like this are being thrown around for people I don't know. To be fair, Eastern European clubs who are rich like Shakhtar don't need any money and are in no rush to sell, so the fees for them will always be high. Mkhitaryan reminds me a bit of Lampard, though with more work rate and a lot better at pressing. will suit BVB perfectly. I also can't believe Arsenal dared to bid 30M for Suarez. I sincerely wish we submit a 8M + Spearing bid for Cazorla in return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Absolutely. to play for CL finalists, or a team with no European football is a no brainer. The thing that gets me is that, most journos are saying we were never allowed to even speak to the player because of 3rd party ownership stuff initially (before BVB came in) and his agent kept giving us false signals. 3rd party ownerships are okay in Germany, so all BVB had to do is agree a fee with Shakhtar and that's that. Best of luck to him though. He sounds like a very sound and committed player and is going to a very likeable team. will follow him closely this season.

He's an interesting player, Dortmund are going to be an exciting force again next year, if potentially more inconsistent. If anyone can get the unit functioning quickly and to great effect, it's Klopp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
