holy tits
congratulations milangaf, about fucking time. shitty managers are shitty, no way around that, no matter the time and patience given to them.
That doesn't make much sense. They play in different positions.
Matic will be competing with Ramires, Lampard and Mikel for a place in the double pivot. The only way it will affect Mata is if Jose changes to a 4-3-3, which he uses occasionally but I don't see as a permanent switch.

I just got home. I went to my friend's birthday yesterday. Shit was cray.
I could watch the Newcastle x City match but not the Liverpool one, he didn't have ESPN BR.
Anyway, I'll try to make it.

Sanogo needs a backup.
Wasn't even good enough for Bolton.
I just watched a video of him, and he plays more like a winger than striker imo. Kinda like a Walcott type but with more strength.
He's fit.
The black Amaury Bischoff.
I was casually browsing a job site and saw a job advertisement entitled "Celtic Enthusiast." Surely not -that- Celtic, I thought, but lo and behold..

What a great opportunity.

Nope, and I strongly doubt that we'll pay anywhere close to 35 million for him. Marca was reporting 15 million and that seems a lot more realistic.
Portuguese clubs don't half get their pound of flesh, fucking hell.
Throw him in against Coventry, I say,
Saw on transfermarkt that he's been out since early September and only back recently with a "back injury".

If you read the MLS jobs page, they offer your a job to be a fan and attend the stadium to create some atmosphere, etc.
Florenzi is becoming such a great midfielder. Very good debut for Nainggolan as well. Brilliant signing for Roma. Serie A is far from over, imo.
As I understand it, we sold half of Marrone's contract to Sassuolo (and at the same time loaned them the player) and bought half of Berardi's contract for the same price (3,5M€
. If we want to bring Berardi to Torino in the summer, we'll have to pay Sassuolo the other half. Be it in cash or by selling them the other half of Marrone.
I'm sure both clubs have already come to an agreement, otherwise we wouldn't have given them Zaza as well. In theory, I guess a third cunt club could approach Sassuolo and convince them not sell the the other half of Berardi's contract, which would ultimately result in a blind auction.
[QUOTE='Le buste' (blind auction)]Also known as a blind auction or le buste, it occurs when two teams cannot come to an accord by a specific date. Then each club is given an envelope in which they put a specific written offer without the other club knowing the number (I'm not sure if this is how it's physically done but you get the idea). After each club has submitted an offer, the club with the higher offer "wins" and buys the remaining half of the player's contract from the other club.[/QUOTE]
In theory, Sassuolo, financially backed by said third cunt club, could bid an insane amount of money, say, 20M€+ and win the auction, then sell Berardi for, say, 30M€ to that club. I'm pretty sure something like that is illegal though.
So, yeah, Berardi is ours.

Isn't Di Marzio usually more reliable source than Marca? He is saying here that you guys are going to pay 35m.
wtf is this lol

Supposedly he is reliable but he's been wrong about Zenit quite a bit. Some are saying that it might be 35 million for Rodrigo AND Garay. That would be in line with the news that we met with Benfica reps and Mendes in London a few days ago. As far as I know Mendes represents Garay but not Rodrigo...
I will go on the record as saying that if we do end up paying 35 million for Rodrigo that I'm done defending this team's transfer dealing. Embarrassing for all of Russian football.
How have Witsel and Hulk got along this season?
Perfectly understandable if he is wrong, especially seen as he is an Italian journalist reporting on a Spanish striker moving from a Portuguese club to a Russian club. I can understand if he gets details wrong, although he has built a reputation of being extremely reliable in recent transfer windows.
Wouldnt that see Benfica rate Garay at 20m? If you get him thats Uniteds future Ferdinand replacement gone.

We've never had problems with Hulk and Witsel themselves. Some longtime Zenit players just got butthurt about the wages Witsel and Hulk were on last season. The one who made the biggest stink about it, Denisov, was shipped off to Anzhi this past summer for 15 million.
There haven't really been any problems in the squad this season. And as bad as Hulk played last season, he's been equally good this season. So things are looking up I guess.

I think that in these sorts of co-ownership deals one of the team owns the "playing rights" to the players, meaning it's up to that team to decide whether to play that player or loan him out to the other party. In this case, Juve possess these rights so I believe they could potentially keep Berardi starting from next season, whether Sassuolo like it or not.As I understand it, we sold half of Marrone's contract to Sassuolo (and at the same time loaned them the player) and bought half of Berardi's contract for the same price (3,5M€
Of course to have full ownership we would have to buy the other half from Sassuolo eventually, so the possibility that some third club might wanna interfere (Leonardo is gone from Paris, isn't he? That cunt) is there. But I feel that some sort of agreement is already in place between the two clubs, they lose Juve's favour, they lose half their team, they know better methinks.
Hahahaha. What is wrong with Zenit, seriously
Garay would only be a short/medium term replacement. A solid defender to help aid the development of Jones. He's 27 so we'd get 4 or 5 good seasons out of him. I wouldn't mind signing him, but at the same time it won't be too gut wrenching.
Fuck no, I love Pippo, I can't root against him.

Not in terms of playing style, but you've been heavily linked with him for a few years now. With Ferdinand probably leaving at the end of the season, I would of guessed you would of made a move for him at the end of the season. I can see United signing either Garay or Mangala to replace Rio in the squad.
Mirror is linking AVB with Schalke: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/andre-villas-boas-linked-german-club-3010301
I guess it is mostly bullshit, but it would be great for both parties.

Benfica is like honey, you fuckin bears can't stay away.
Rodrigo is 22 and still evolving. it's 35 mil for a guy that, if Zenit nurtures him, will be absolute world class within 3 seasons.
Matic is the ultimate wet dream for Mou. imposing DM that is as good as destroying opposition's attacks as he is building his own team's.
Garay runs circles around whatever United has right now for CB.

Yeah, I'm reading up on it and it looks like we do indeed have the "diritti sportivi" to Berardi. Sassuolo might ask for more than 4,5M for the other half of Berardi's contract, since his value is bound to increase after this season. I'm sure we'll be more than happy to oblige.
Hmmm, what happens if he does well? Goes back to primavera, while Seedorf takes over?
He'll probably forget all about him
He won't come to a team which doesn't play CL football.

I wouldn't get your hopes up quite yet. Galliani may find a way to keep him, they seem to be best pals.
