Arsene is full of shit.

Or you didn't put in an acceptable offer.

 

[Milchmonster]

Easy:

Borussia Dortmund

In:
-

Out:
Lewandowski to Juve
Hummels to Juve
Götze to Real
Piszczek to Real
Subotic to United
Bender to United
Gündogan to Chelsea
Kuba to Liverpool
Reus to Arsenal

Spoiler

Nothing will happen lol

 

[ShogunX]

Liverpool

In:
Dempsey (Fulham)

Out:
Spearing (Bolton)
Adam (Stoke)
Wilson (Loan)

Think Carroll will stay unless West Ham or Newcastle come in with a decent offer and even then I guess Carroll could reject it (West Ham move). Personally would like to give him until the end of the season.

 

[fadetoblack]

As long as we can accept, as a starting point, that Arsene is full of shit then whatever you want.

This happened in my FIFA game yesterday. Fucker refused a new contract so I sold him to Liverpool for 7m.

 

[TheLucifer]

Does that mean we're getting Arsenal?

I'd say Arsenal, Schalke 04, Dinamo Kiev.

As long as we can accept, as a starting point, that Arsene is full of shit then whatever you want.

Multiple times, especially the summer we bought him. This year as well, of course.

Trivia: Gilardino is from my city, first time someone from Biella wears a Milan shirt. I was really proud, too bad he wasn't fit for a big team.

Then why haven't you signed a striker?

Good player but their squad is pretty huge now. Diakite, Faurlin, Barton, Park, Granero, links to M'Bia...

 

[Rikkun]

Why does he always show his underwear? Even when he was arrested?

 

[Salazar]

who?

Queens
Park
Rangers

the player you knob

 

[TheLucifer]

Wait, Siena was ready to sign Bendtner as well?

Are we talking about Tuttosport? I can double that list.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Better moves for Juventus than Nicklas Bendtner:

Resigning Del Piero. Resigning Borriello. Resigning Amauri. Retraining Padoin to play striker.

 

[fadetoblack]

Then why haven't you signed a striker?

The reasons are more complicated than not submitting an acceptable offer. Take your pick: Juventus only just re-establishing itself as a European powerhouse, unlikely to go far in CL, perceived reputation that no big strikers want to go there (oh god, Berbatov said no? fuck, he must know something!), strikers unwilling to leave their homes (i.e. "personal reasons), unfairly tarnished reputation due to calcioscommesse, diminished status of Serie A, uncertainty regarding Antonio Conte, difficulties over learning the language, teams wanting to keep hold of their main striker having not found an adequate replacement, fuck I can go on if you want.

Yeah, you're right. Money is a hurdle, but then we also submitted a bid to Fiorentina that met the buyout clause for Jovetic and that bid failed too.

 

[ShogunX]

Pretty sure Barton made the move to Marseille yesterday.

 

[Tc91]

Berba having a medical at Fulham!

 

[Wes]

SSN: Berbatov to undergo medical at Fulham.

 

[dc89]

QPR are just signing anyone.

 

[fadetoblack]

Rikkun: go ahead and add reasonable ones to the list but lets not go Tuttosport 'Juve-Messi SOGNO POSSIBILE" crazy

 

[Kyoufu]

Newcastle United

In:

Out:

Tiote, Cabaye and Ben Arfa.

 

[Roland Garros]

QPR are just signing anyone.

So are we... Maicon? Lordy!

 

[Salazar]

QPR are just signing anyone.

There's a Macheda-sized hole in their squad, I believe.

Kyoufu, Tiote is probably staying.

 

[Kyoufu]

Gotta go have a doctor stick a finger up my hole.

Wish me luck

 

[Wilbur]

Enjoy it Kyoufu

Pretty sure Barton made the move to Marseille yesterday.

Ah really? Cool. Well that's a lot of competition for centre midfield anyway, Park will start a lot I'm sure, so Diakite and Granero are the others probably.

Hoilett and Taarabt aren't bad wing options as well.

Berba having a medical at Fulham!

SSN: Berbatov to undergo medical at Fulham.

Sweet

 

[dc89]

So are we... Maicon? Lordy!

Dude! Trust Mancini, he knows what's he doing.

When deDay comes off you'll all be applauding him.

Spoiler

yes I still believe.

 

[Messi]

Gotta go have a doctor stick a finger up my hole.

Wish me luck

I am not sure your doctor is supposed to do that.

 

[GorillaJu]

True. They usually go for two fingers.

 

[spidye]

I am not sure your doctor is supposed to do that.

ehh if there's one guy who is supposed to put a finger up your butt it's your doctor.

Do the other big Italian teams find it as difficult to find a striker? Bar the Conte stuff it sounds like its pretty much down to money.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Juventus

In:
Giovinco (€11m)
Isla (€9.4m co-ownership)
Asamoah (€9m co-ownership)
Cáceres (€8m)
Giaccherini (€4.25m)
Boakye (€4m co-ownership)
Leali (€3.8m)
Masi (undisclosed)
Pogba (free transfer)
Lúcio (free transfer)

Out:
Elia (€7.5m)
Krasic (€7m)
Pasquato (€1.5m co-ownership)
Motta (€1.5m loan with option to buy)
Melo (€1.75m loan with option to buy)
Estigarribia (loan ended)
Borriello (loan ended)
Grosso (contract ended)
Manninger (contract ended)
Del Piero (contract ended, hearts broken, tears wept)

~€30m net spend as far as I can tell, prior to Marotta setting fire to money to bring in 'top striker' Nicklas "scores every four games" Bendtner.

You could do worse than Bendtner.

 

[Salazar]

Their own finger, attached to their hand, oui ?

You could do worse than Bendtner.

I like to think this is one of his pick-up lines.

 

[dc89]

Hughes is like a kid in a sweet shop.

The meltdown will be hilarious if they go down. I'll be grabbing my popcorn and watching the implosion.

And Hughes will obviously never accept defeat or take any blame...

If QPR get relegated they go bust.

Fulham have agreed a fee for Richardson.

Sunderland want Dempsey in the other direction.

well obviously

Because Marotta is full of shit too.

 

[Salvadora]

Who will be making their debut in the City/QPR match? Interested to see these new QPR signings in action.

Because Marotta is full of shit too.

It does sound like a problem on Juve's end because that list of problems could apply to pretty much any big side.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Manchester United

In
- Frogson plz

Out
- Berbatov (Fulham)
- Macheda (Celtic)
- Bebe (Streets)

 

[Blablurn]

affelay to schalke ? not bad

 

[Wes]

How desperate are Liverpool to shift Carroll and what was the highest Newcastle bid? I wouldn't mind Villa having a bid if it's not outlandish.
