Village Idiot Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah, according to the report they were meeting his release clause (€12m). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Abel Hernandez rejected the chance to play for Benfica in the beautiful city of Lisbon to live in Hull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Sad, but he's probably earning more at Hull than playing for one of the biggest clubs in Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well considering I read today that QPR's wage bill is higher than AC Milan's, I would imagine you are perfectly right VI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 QPR's wage bill probably accounts for several points of the English GNP, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 One of our mags claiming that Samper turned down Arsenal before deadline day. Wenger already tried to poach him 3 years ago, so I will give it credibility. He's one of my favorite Barça prospects and I expect him to rule our midfield for a decade. I know I keep on asking you this but when do you expect him to breakout? I know he's only young but I keep on reading loads about how much of a fantastic prospect he is so kind of expected him to be pushing on now. Although he does have Busquets in front of him I suppose.

Village Idiot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He's only 19, no need to rush him. He'll make his senior debut this season, that's for sure. The lad's been playing professional football for only a year, and in a position where this kind of experience is needed, imho, because of the tactical intricacy of playing DM. I expect him to get a handful of apps this season, and take Xavi's place in the squad when he leaves next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I know it's early days but what's your thoughts on Enrique so far? I think he overrates Rafinha a bit too much at the moment mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yeah, Rafinha doesn't seem to be good enough imho. But he trusts him greatly. I like what Lucho is doing. He's upped the tempo of our play, and he encourages the team to try more daring passes when in possession, instead of just keeping possession for possession's sake. The team is also much more aggressive in order to get the ball back and move into attacking positions; we are not as static as we were last year or the one before that. It's still early days, but I'm happy so far. I'm still hesitant about our defense, which hasn't been properly tested so far. We still haven't conceded a single shot in goal.

Memphis Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The terms coming out from Tancredi Palmieri regarding Falcao's contract with Manchester United are absolutely astonishing: --10m Euro loan fee, option to buy at 44m -- deal automatically becomes permanent if he makes 15 appearances and scores 5 goals --14m annual salary after tax, around 270k per week, plus 3m in after-tax bonuses linked to those same small performance incentives Wayne Rooney makes 300k/week under his new deal but that's pre-tax. He'd have to make 436k/week to match Falcao's deal (before the incentives kick in). Holy shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ronaldo back to us has been picking up a lot of speed lately. What do you all make of that? Ballague reporting we're preparing an offer and that Ronaldo dreams of the return. Nonsense if you ask me, but this is one of those situations where I wouldn't be anything other than pessimistic.
