So Turok was right about Suarez?

 

[confuziz]

Did you see the goal? The keeper messed up the freekick (bounced off his hands into net). Tbf to him though, the ball took a sharp turn right before it got to him.

No I didn't, I just know him from his time at PSV. Literally the worst rightback I have ever seen.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Aye.

The world's best muppets are in full swing, too.

Proof.

 

[Clegg]

City in for Fabregas now too.

Don't think we can compete with them for him. They can offer too much on wages.

 

[fuenf]

It's official: Dante and Gustavo will be off to Brazil and miss the DFB Pokal final.

Rummenigge:"We are forced to release both players. We dont support this decision, but our hands are forced."

 

[confuziz]

It's official: Dante and Gustavo will be off to Brazil and miss the DFB Pokal final.

Not that it matters, you have about 20 other players that are better than each of the opponent =P

 

[Bumhead]

We have confirmed a pre-season friendly at home to Rangers.

Delighted with that. Even as a Scottish Division 2 side, they're still a massive club and a far more exciting prospect for a pre-season game than our usual encounters with the likes of Stoke and Wigan.

Should be a big gate and a decent game.

Yeah but it sucks that they are missing out on it. I don't get what 1-2 days would've changed for Brazil, but oh well being Brazilian and all, the Selecao is probably more important to the players anyway.

City will bid for everyone we do. It's their scouting system.

Eh.

We'll do good business. Any epic gazumpings are in the fairly distant future, in any case. I can't get properly clenched about anything in particular yet.

 

[Wes]

Is it a woman ?

Indeed. And what a woman she was.

 

[Clegg]

We're going to sign sort sort of midfielder this summer. I'd be pretty happy with Fellaini tbh. But Fellaini and one of Thiago/Cesc/Modric/Marchisio? I'd be in Muppet heaven.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

City will bid for everyone we do. It's their scouting system.

Reminds me of Inter with Juve, my friend used to tell me how Inter would sign whoever Juve are interested in.

 

[Kyoufu]

Could be a dc moment but Valdes is having a press conference tomorrow. Must be off to Monaco.

 

[Clegg]

That's the old Chelsea way.

 

[Steverulez]

Been hearing that De Bruyne will be loaned out to Leverkusen as part of the Schurrle deal. Would support this move if only to keep him out of Dortmund's grasp.

Also this:

Which sounds too good to be true.

Im not sure KDB will agree to go but hopefully he will, don't want him to leave us yet.
Also, CAVANIIII

 

[Fergie]

Because of the fucking Confed Cup the Brazilian Football Federations wants Dante and Gustavo by Saturday. Means they would not be at the German Cup Final. Wtf is this shit? Fry, do something!

You already got the final bro. I wanna see Brazil with their best lineup.


Any United transfer news? Haven't kept up, revision all day everyday.

Don't need to get banned get me.

City in for Fabregas now too.

Hopefully Fab sees sense. Come to his bro RVP, and his Spanish bro De Gea.

 

[Fergie]

DP.

Eric Abidal has left Barc.

http://www.fcbarcelona.com/all-about-eric-abidal

The club is announcing that tomorrow Thursday at 13.00 in the Auditori 1899 on the Club facilities, the player Éric Abidal is offering a press conference accompanied by the president of FC Barcelona, Sandro Rosell, and Andoni Zubizarreta, director of the Football Sports Area.

 

[Freewheelin']

look who I just beat in Pokemon lolololol

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Rosell (president): "When Eric retires, he will become the director of Barcelona's schools around the world."

Even more than missing them for the final it's a shame they won't be there for the celebrations on Sunday (be it double or treble). The Brazilians are essential for a partying mood.

Anyway, it clearly is a very stupid oversight on the DFB's part. No surprise there


The Holzhäuser pic is priceless. It makes the article perfect.

I am also hoping for Gomez starting on Saturday.

I really want to know who fucked up.

Well I dont know if you can blame them, La Liga is playing this weekend too.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Manchester City’s ambitions to supersede Manchester United’s worldwide dominance have been taken up another notch, with the revelation that City have poached one of the masterminds behind United’s own global rise.

Sportsmail can reveal that Gavin Rhodes, Head of Coaching at Manchester United Soccer Schools, has been lured to the Etihad Stadium after spending over a decade with the Red Devils.

Why didn't they just buy us? :lol

 

[Gambit]

Rummenige said the DFB overlooked the game when setting the date for the DFB-Pokal finale. He said if Bayern didn't comply, the Brazilian federation could even sue and Bayern would be disqualified/automatically lose the cup final.

 

[GorillaJu]

Sergi Canos
Luis Alberto
Iago Aspas
Kolo Toure

Getting our shit done early this time I see.

 

[justjohn]

What do chelsea fans think of this andre schurlle guy. Have to say not the kind of signing I was expecting.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Fly Emirates are the new Madrid sponsors.

Okay, I wanted to say Fuck the Brazilian team first (no offense, fry lol) but yeah it's more like Fuck DFB. Ridiculous.

I'm actually really looking forward to it, it'll serve as a decent marker for how far we've come, cos last season a lot of the guys were barely making an effort cos we were about 20 points clear.

now this makes me sad : (

Wide attacking more direct player than Oscar/Mata/Hazard (is what i've been told, don't know much about him myself). Its not where i'd personally spend the money but the club will know more about him than I do (I would keep KDB), I hope he does well for us though.

Now to get a striker, dm and maybe see what they can do about the defence, and a back-up keeper seeing as Hilario and Turdbull are both out of contract.

 

[qindarka]

I admit that I don't know much of him. Been hearing he is a pretty good player who can play in wide positions which is helpful. We do need another attacking player, with Marin and Benayoun (leaving) being pretty much useless.

 

[pappe]

Fly Emirates are the new Madrid sponsors.

Heres what they are thinking
Benzema : Dear God, get me outta here.
Casillas : fuck yeah, This is where I belong.
Ramos: OOO Look, new shirts!
CR7: What the fuck am i doing here?

come back home CR7! :'(

HOLY SHIT

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[Feorax]

Local news in Birmingham seem to think we're in for Lukaku.

IF true, most likely a loan. Can't see Chelsea selling.

 

[K1LLER7]

Liverpool close to signing Luis Alberto. Plays for Barcelons B. midfielder/winger.

 

[Yurt]

Reminds me of Inter with Juve, my friend used to tell me how Inter would sign whoever Juve are interested in.

Obligatory:

"In 1999 I went to scout a player at Marseille and noticed an Inter scout was there for the same player. I had to misdirect him. I noticed Cyril Domoraud playing and started to praise him so the Inter scout could hear me. Within a week newspapers linked Domoraud to Inter and they ended up signing him. He turned out to be a very mediocre player."

 

[Broder Salsa]

Can't see Chelsea selling either, especially not to another premier league club. A loan deal to Liverpool would make me fairly happy enough though, even if I wish Chelsea would just keep him at this point, but it's a hard balance with both Torres and Ba there and Schurrle coming in who can also play as a forward I guess.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Sergi Canos
Luis Alberto
Iago Aspas
Kolo Toure

Getting our shit done early this time I see.

I don't know Sergi Canos - where's he from and what position does he play?

Local news in Birmingham seem to think we're in for Lukaku.

IF true, most likely a loan. Can't see Chelsea selling.

I suppose that depends if you're selling Suarez? Whether on loan or bought it would be a handy signing.

 

[Pachimari]

Fly Emirates are the new Madrid sponsors.

Yeah have known that for a year.

I love our shirts next season, you got more pictures?

 

[Feorax]

I don't know Sergi Canos - where's he from and what position does he play?

Barca youngster, think he's an attacking mid. Very highly rated, being brought over in similar circumstances to Fabregas I think. Don't think he's ready for the first team though, will probably be at the same development level as the likes of Yesil.

I suppose that depends if you're selling Suarez? Whether on loan or bought it would be a handy signing.

I agree, but that in turn depends if we intended on Suarez leading the line next season. If he goes, I think we need to sign a real quality winger/attacking mid to replace him, rather than an out and out striker like Lukaku.

 

[Gareth Bale]

None of this shit will work on Levy. If he doesn't want to sell then there is nothing Madrid can do. They will have to wait until next summer.

The quotes their hierarchy are coming out with are quite pathetic, but I suppose when you've just had a completely embarrassing season it's understandable. Truly an awful club.

This is their shitty tactic for when a player refuses to try and force their way out. And their fans say Suarez is too much of a cunt for Real Madrid...

 

[Pachimari]

 

[Zabojnik]

Attacking midfielder played for our youth team, but he didn't want to sign a new contract. He probably wanted first team action and decided to go to Bologna. I say it's a good move for him, but I wouldn't bet he will be a class player or anything. He seems like a good solid squad player to me.

Thanks! He can stay at Bologna, then.

Also Vermaelen to Juve?

Nobody is talking about it in Italy, I call bullshit.

Whoever we get, we better get him *now*. He needs to spend preseason with Conte.

That's what Conte is pushing for with Jovetic. But Marry's gonna Marry, try to pimp Marrone, Quaglia, Matri + 5M€, until Chelsea or another club comes in with 25M+ and signs him. Our summers are the best.

 

[Pachimari]

Smooth numbers and font - loving our home shirt:

 

[fuenf]

Man that Real kit makes me glad that Bayern has a longterm partnership with Telekom. I like continuity and the Telekom logo is perfect for a football kit.

 

[Pachimari]

I like Fly Emirates as a sponsor, looks good on Arsenal, Milan and now Real. It's surely much better than Bwin.com!
