Far from it. We all know that footballers love money. But saying the money helps yadda yadda... It's just self explanatory. He's going to get offered a fuckload wherever he goes, but if City and United offered him equivalent wages it would be interesting to see where he'd go.

I'd rather we didn't put it to the test

Oh me neither! We'd only cock it up and offer him 11 quid a week and have him as back up for Ebanks-Blake

 

[pulga]

Carobbio (the ONLY guy to accuse Conte) is backpeddling

Source now! I need to shut up about 3 people.

I don't think we're targeting him, so that shouldn't be a concern. As disappointed as I am about losing out on Hazard, I'm glad it's over so we can move to a new target. I imagine some of the moves will start to come fast and furious (for many clubs) now that it's over.

I'd like Yann M'Vila (if De Jong gets sold) and Javi Martinez first and foremost. If Mancini is truly high on Belhanda as a Hazard fall-back, I'd like to get that over with quickly too.

We sold Ebanks-Blake...you must be one of those 659m "followers".

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Odd as this sounds, I'd be a bit devestated if Conte was guilty. I really like him. And with that caveat, perhaps you'll give him to us?

 

[Yurt]

Carobbio was arrested for his involvement in Grosseto matches, not Siena. Why the fuck is he talking about Siena is beyond me.

Source now! I need to shut up about 3 people.

Carobbio now saying both the players and Conte rejected the betting proposals. This is fucking hilarious.

I'll PM you my friends twitter.

 

[systemfehler]

Wigan looking at Moniz from RedBull Salzburg if they are in need of a new coach. Can't imagine that will work out well for Wigan.

Now they'll probably saying Carobbio is being bribed to take it all back :lol :lol

By his logic, he should ban politics for life then.

So far, only Zamparini replied, and it's both a lolworthy and an actually correct reply: "he's destroying Italy and he's an ignorant: every year, professional football teams give 800 millions to the State. He's a demagogue, it's incredible how he talks about football but avoids people's issues, he should walk on the streets and listen how it's like to live in Italy. This country is sinking, we're telling and nobody is listening. He's just stupid."

You know someone is dumb when he makes Zamparini look wise.

Have I missed anything interesting while I was gone for few days?

I have been quite busy, but I did watch the second half of the England Norway game, and I thought Norway played relatively well. Tettey and Ruud in particular showed some great glimpse of talent and the central midfield controlled the p[ace of the game quite naturally. The only problem was the veterans disappointed and I have been saying this for very long time. Riise, Pederson, Braaten and to certain extent Hangland should not be playing regularly. Riise is particular that prick, should have done better in that left hand side since it was quite weak of England to let him move freely, but he was there just to showcase how great he was. God, I hate that idiot and should retire at one.

I hope everyone has at least one transfer wish come true.

Screw wishes for transfer. I wish that we keep Baines. Nothing else matter.

Rangers won their court case over the transfer embargo placed on them.

So what does this mean for the sanctions placed on clubs who fail to meet FFP?

Does that mean we can't get Steven Naismith for £3M now?

I'm sorry I'm not humping Kagawa's shrine like a lot of you here.

Give us Gylfi man u don't sign debuchy please Cisse holy fuck holy fucking fuck I'll sign his sperm for £50 million

fatality

 

[Kyoufu]

I don't see how that is comparable at all.

I have made love to Cisse's shrine but the difference is he plays for us every week (and scores every week too) while nobody here watches Kagawa play except that cool video on youtube and the Cup Final between Dortmund and Bayern.

Except for those who support Dortmund. And watch German football. Or those that watch the Japanese national team.

So you're talking bollocks again.

Um, we're supposed to be talking about Man United fans here. They don't do any of the above.

As a Bayern fan i can vouch for his quality. It will be the greatest thing in the world to see him finally leave Dortmund. I might start a Kagawa shrine myself once he's finally away from Dortmund!

I watch German football.

I have watched Dortmund through the season and I can tell GTFO with that kind of talk. Kagawa is ace and Dortmund are amazing, they deserve to be talked every single time.

Yeah, FIFA are quite angry about this. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/...hey-must-punish-rangers-for-using-law-courts/

Taking a member association to a civil court is a massive crime in their eyes. The Swiss FA were pressured into giving FC Sion a 35 point deduction for a similar matter (as well as UEFA kicking them out of the Europa League and handing their place to Celtic).

Does that mean we can't get Steven Naismith for £3M now?

It wasn't a transfer embargo, it was a registration embargo. They could always have sold players (and will have to), just were not able to buy any.

Spoiler

You can probably get him for less than that.

There is quite a few people on here who watch Kagawa. Numerous BVB fans plus Bayern fans and Odd_Morsel follows that Japanese National Team closely and I think Wilbury has been watching the Bundesliga this year.

 

[Wilbur]

Watch Debuchy often, Kyoufu? Why do you want him so bad?

 

[Salvadora]

This Kagawa business has got people tense!

 

[WJD]

In fact, this was the best game I watched all season.

Thats is the only thing that matters. The fact that we can get him for cheap is what I was wondering and thanks for that answer.

Oh ok, never mind me then. Carry on Kyoufu!

 

[Hixx]

I feel like I should apologize to Kyoufu for bringing it up again.

However, any time a Mag gets his comeuppance in here I really enjoy it.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I used to watch Kagawa when he played in the Japenese 2nd division.

In person.

 

[Wilbur]

Yeah it was fantastic.

 

[Kyoufu]

Watch Debuchy often, Kyoufu? Why do you want him so bad?

I don't? I just think he's a top signing. Posting once about him doesn't mean I'm humping his shrine.

Celtic v Real Madrid friendly at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia on August 11. On the one hand that'll be fun.. on the other that's right in the middle of our CL qualifiers. :|

Ah well.. it's not often you get the chance to play against one of the world's greatest football clubs.. so I can see why Real Madrid accepted the offer.

 

[dc89]

You're not alone. Me too.

 

[Kyoufu]

Cabaye rates him highly. He was very good in the friendly so yeah, I'll buy his cumstained shorts for 50 million.

 

[Wilbur]

Is Kagawa this seasons Sneijder? I.E - IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE! 2 months later, it's not done.

 

[faridmon]

Don't get us wrong, he is great player and all, but his name comes a lot because of the great Doretmund team and if Gotze and Hummels for example were coming to the PL, we would talk about them instead.

Is Kagawa this seasons Sneijder? I.E - IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE! 2 months later, it's not done.

wat.

Except that Kagawa is actually coming to the PL?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Feels good man.

Is Kagawa this seasons Sneijder? I.E - IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE! 2 months later, it's not done.

No.

2009 - Benzema
2010 - Ozil
2011- Sneijder
2012 - Hazard
2013 - ???

 

[Salvadora]

Would any United fans here want RVP? I think it was rumoured a while back & I'd rather City wasn't the only choice.

 

[Wilbur]

Wages + price tag + age + Rooney = no. Rooney is our main striker, we dont need another.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Obv. I would but not at the price it would cost and I'd rather we spent that money elsewhere.

Thats Hazard.

 

[fadetoblack]

Well, with three competitions next year I really don't see this being a problem. Quite the opposite in fact. We all saw what happened this year from january to mid-march, when Marchisio and Vidal were basically dead. Endless string of draws ft(almost)l. Now sign that fucking WC striker and we're set.

I can't wait to see how we measure up in Europe next season. I have a pretty good feeling, but you never know.

If Asamoah comes, we don't get Verratti (unless he's strictly on co-ownership, or we loan him out immediately). I think we'll be fine with that but I'd like to see Verratti given space behind Pirlo. Either that, or we don't get Pogba which seems unlikely at this point to be honest.

Someone said Conte confirmed that we're keeping Marrone. Not that I don't believe my fratelli, but link? Can't find this in any standard channel.

Carobbio was arrested for his involvement in Grosseto matches, not Siena. Why the fuck is he talking about Siena is beyond me.

Carobbio now saying both the players and Conte rejected the betting proposals. This is fucking hilarious.

I'll PM you my friends twitter.

Il Corriere is running a story where he accuses Conte's involvement was limited to agreeing to a draw. It any case it seems tenuous and I'm not worried, but it does seem like a small back peddling, but not complete reversal that your friend is pointing to.

Zamp is a crazy fucker but he's spot on. Italy needs the Serie A even if it's still hemorrhaging money (I'm convinced Juve's current setup is going to lead the charge to profitability. I hope for the league's sake that Milan and Inter follow suit.)
