Sam ‏@samuelJayC 41s

Deal to take Vermaelen to Barça is almost done, reports @TXIKIFORERO. Fee £10.3m. #afc #fcb

At least he won something before he left. Good luck at Barca. They'll need it. Wonder who we bring in now.
 
you didn't get the point. probity talked about klopp being classy. I showed his true face when he loses or is just annoyed.
he talks how he thinks robben and gomez would want to leave next year. yeah these are definitely subjects I'd like to talk about when my team loses against the rival

that's the definition of an asshole. same as rummenige.

Oh, I got the point. It's still fucking ridiculous.

Klopp has his flaws but he's a guy that is always honest and says what he thinks. In addition, he's also a fucking fantastic coach and person. I have the feeling that some people, Bayern fans especially, make up ridiculous excuses to hate him. Maybe because he's not a crazy ass Dutchman, a good but bland as fuck German coach or a back-stabbing Catalan hypocrite. Maybe because they are envious that Hoeneß said no to him to hire Jürgen Klinsmann.

Klopp told the TV "journalists" to stop asking shit about Lewandowski and the Robben and Gomez part was just what he came up with in that moment. Oh wow, how fucking evil he is. Next thing you show me is when he told that journalist at a press conference to stop asking shitty questions and gave him an angry answer. A definition of "class" in professional football is bullshit but if there is "asshole" and "no asshole", we need a new category called "Rummenigge".

Get fucking over it, you already signed Götze and Lewandowski and have a good chance at signing Reus. Excuse Klopp for being a person with character and giving a shit about this club.
 
We should loan Podolski out for events to get a new revenue stream

I am amazed that he has not come back early. He isn't a starter and Wenger obviously doesn't rate him very highly. He played like 15 mins at the world cup. You would think he would want to be as fit as possible this season.

Sell him pls.
 
Vermaelen never looked comfortable on the ball this past season. Always let the ball bounce and ball watched at times 10m is a good fee for him we can get a experienced defender for that price for 3rd choice. The question is who ?
 
Txiki Forero also says that United tried to get him until late on, but Arsenal didn't want to sell domestically.

Thierry Henry, Emanuel Petit, Marc Overmars, Alexander Hleb, Alexander Song, Cesc Fabregas, Thomas Vermaelen.

Christ Barca. Find your own players.

I support that bin him. We don't even have to sign anyone. Just go all out for Reus or Draxler (If he picks up form) next season.

It's remarkable.

Ozil and Mertesacker have played a huge amount of football, with the later recently becoming a father, but Podolski was injured half the season and didn't even really play at the World Cup.

Irks me a wee bit to see him giving the Expendables 3 cast Germany shirts (lol) and hanging out with Neymar in Ibiza.

Especially since he only played for like 10 minutes the entire tournament. If I were him, I'd have come back a week early.

Those are the only 3 you could say really did anything for them and some might even Cesc didn't even though he was still a good player for them and people are being stupid.

It's quite simple actually, Poldi's wife and son still live in/near Cologne. He loves his son madly and it's obvious why he'd like to stay there for another week, especially considering school holidays just started last week.
 
£2m for Yedlin? That's a snip, I'm glad we have returned to our pre-AVB ways of signing good value young talents rather than people like Paulinho and Soldado. I can accept 6th place much better knowing that Davies, Dier etc will develop into top players. Spunking £100m up the wall only to finish in Europa League is just dumb.

If he doesn't join until January I guess that means Fredericks and Dier will be Walker's backup. Just get rid of Naughton ASAP.

Have they split up or something?

Could always get German schooling in London, with the wages he's on.

That actually puts things in perspective. I didn't know they lived away from him.

They're ending next week dude.

No.
I guess he just want's his son to grow up in cologne as well, nearby his family.
 
Renember when Sammer shat on every clubs training and alot of managers got mad including Klopp ?

Sammer makes a general statement about Bundesliga (at a time when only two clubs were left in European competitions), Klopp "counters" with a personal attack. Classy.

We could also debate Klopp getting sent off several times. Not really the definition of classy behaviour either.

Let's not make him into an infallible, super polite messiah.
 
So, Depor and Valencia have shown interest in Zuculini for weeks, yet Sunderland have come out of nowhere and signed him on loan. Shame.

Most fathers do lol.

I'm not wondering why he is hanging out at home with his wife and kid.

I am wondering why he is partying in Ibiza with Neymar and going to movie premiers.

Not overly concerned really. He is a peripheral squad player at best. He is really going to struggle to get time this season.

Those are the only 3 you could say really did anything for them and some might even Cesc didn't even though he was still a good player for them and people are being stupid.

I have no regrets about selling any of them, just find it funny how many players they have bought off us when they are constantly whining about us taking kids.

Sunderland might have shown interest in him for weeks too... However realizing that clubs likes to do negotiations privately and not through the media.
 
Vermaelen is not good at football. He will not do well for United. I hope the reason we haven't let him sabotage LVG is because we're holding out for a ridiculous 15m fee or something.
 
Remember when Klopp shat on Sammer? Classy.

Sammer :lol :lol :lol

It's like saying "remember when Klopp said the Devil was evil" haha

Come on now, when Hoeneß was getting butt-fucked by the finance office, what did BVB employees say? Nothing. And now imagine it the other way around. BVB employees might not be saints but they sure as fuck aren't anywhere near Bayern levels.

And you're fucking agreeing with Sammer ?
Fucking hell, you're really delusional.

Even Sammer recognized he fucked up, while speaking that stupid sentence.
There are plenty of reasons why only two clubs were left, training is not an issue.

And yeah he get's personal when he attacking EVERY damn coach in the league.
Klopp wasn't the only one, they were right.
Sammer made a fucking stupid statement, even the cunts from Sport1 who're licking the shoes of every Bayern player/coach/manager agreed that he simply went to far.
 
Vermaelen is not good at football. He will not do well for United. I hope the reason we haven't let him sabotage LVG is because we're holding out for a ridiculous 15m fee or something.
If they are eyeing up Vermaelen, they will go for another similarly shite CB.
 
By all accounts we dodged a bullet on Verm, would be nice to get this CB business sorted mind.

When you only speak in declarative statements about Arsenal all the time, it makes me wonder why you even support them when you clearly hate everyone and think everyone is the worst footballer you've ever seen.

Maybe he's actually a Spurs fan and is a mole trying to take down Arsenal's fan base?
 
Apparently we are very close to signing Bruno Zuculini on loan until December.

Who?

What?

Why?

He's a 21 year old we signed from Racing in Argentina. He has looked really good in the preseason -- I think far better than most had hoped for frankly. He's been linked to Valencia and Deportivo but obviously it'd be great if he went to a team in the PL. Probably would play more in Spain. He's only 21 so City could bring him back after Lampard left and play him in the 2nd part of the year since he doesn't need to be registered.
 
Starting to think the Borini hold up is on Liverpool's end (while they look for a new striker). Gus has spoken positively about it tonight and financial terms are all agreed etc, think a quote tonight was "we are in a good position, just waiting".

Remy pls.

It's the 3 month bit that confuses me. Obviously he's being loaned out while Lampard is at City, but that leaves us in the lurch come January.

Nah, he was solid when he first joined. Injuries and being frozen out hurt him.

But then again, you know better than Wenger, LVG and Garcia.
 

Sammer made a general (supposedly bullshit) statement, so it's okay for Klopp to personally attack him?

Sorry, that's not classy, that's embarassing.

BVB employees might not be saints but they sure as fuck aren't anywhere near Bayern levels.

I was just pointing out that classy is not a word I'd use to describe Klopp. His behaviour reminds me of Kahn, both in good and bad ways. I also disagree a bit about the rest, unless we look at the personal levels (e.g. Rummenigge with the watches, Hoeneß with the taxes, Beckenbauer being Beckenbauer).

Poldi loves his Cologne and I guess so does his wife, I think it's more that he wants his son to grow up there as well. But I'm not sure about that, don't think he ever said something about that either.

They're ending next week dude.

Oh shit, they are :lol

Well, being at university (and not having a child) makes you not care for these things, I've only heard that this week every Bundesland has holidays.

Most fathers do lol.

I am wondering why he is partying in Ibiza with Neymar and going to movie premiers.

"Neymar"

And the movie premier is like a 10 minute drive from his home, it's really no big deal.
 
I've always maintained Vermaelen was a bad defender, even before Wenger froze him out of the side.

Mark Hughes (! of all fucking managers) constantly exposed his tactical indiscipline and tendency to rampage up the pitch with the ball, only to be pressured, turn the ball over, and concede a goal on the counter.

He used to be a pretty decent goalscorer, for a defender (again, rampaging up the pitch w/ zero discipline helps in that regard) which compensated for his shit defending somewhat, but when the goals dried up, he ceased to be of any use to us.

I don't like indisciplined players. They're the reason why we concede soft goals to every single top team in the league. I really don't think it's that hard to understand.
