Hanshithispantz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You'd think that - with an ever increasing light being shone on his work - he would actually proof read these things, or that the Chronicle would hire an intern to comb through his articles or something.

Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 None of that makes sense how is 21k equivalent to a year in prison? Because he would never have to serve that year.

It's the law, and it applies to everyone. Yes, there are many complains that our tax law is way too benign, but it applies to any rich cheating b******, not just Barça players. The "you don't serve if it's less than 2 years" rule applies to any sentence, incidentally. Not just tax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The James story is hilarious. As he's from Colombia (and I've been watching Narcos) his explanation actually seems plausible as well when you know it's pure BS. On another note if he doesn't get more game time I would love him to come to the PL. IMO he would be the best player in the division or very close to it. Also seems to pick up a lot of injuries however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The problem with James is the same as ever; Real Madrid have way too many attacking midfielders, and in order to play all their stars they have either to be a completely disjointed unit, or sacrifice somebody. So far this year it seems James is the one to take the bullet. That said, he hasn't been playing at nearly the level he played last season, in which he was stellar.
