Still think that Neymar is overrated. The hype around him is due to that he is Brazilian and that Barcelona wanted him as a marquee signing to put one over Madrid.

I think Sturridge is just as good as he is. Even has better goals per game ratio playing in a more competitive league in a worse team.

 

[KidA Seven]

Barca have just disclosed that they paid $55 million to Neymar's parents. That is fucking dodgy.

:lol

Sturridge is older than him and doesn't have the potential Nerman has. Nerman in time will create more for others than Sturridge and will score similar amount of goals to Sturridge.

You know if you're going to say something you need a legitimate source.

 

[Sviatoslav]

So what are we looking at for the total amount Barca paid to get Neymar?

 

[bud]

Fucking Qatar(where we're having our training) refused to give one of our new signings a visa because he's been to Israel recently. Joke of a country.

similar thing happened to a player of vitesse this year. he wasn't allowed in the country because of his jewish background.

Fuck. Lengthy court battles for Barca!

I only just realised that Marlon Harewood is the brother of David Harewood from Killzone SF and Homeland

Never put 2+2 together there.

Sturridge is a few years older, but being at Chelsea and City he has not played that many games for a player his age. And most of his appearances were just short cameo roles off the bench.

Sturridge has played 123 (132 if including international) games in his career with most of them being as a sub.

Neymar has played 119 (165 if including international).

Experience wise they are arguably at a same level of development.

With regard to assists, Sturridge has 3 this season. Obviously Neymar will have more (8) due to his position. Sturridge has picked up his assists when playing along side Suarez, and for a lot of the season they have been unable to play together for various reasons (ban, injury). I would expect his assist count to increase if both stay fit and in the team.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

rvy what did you do

 

[Indisguise]

Coventry City have finally had their transfer embrago lifted after 10 months. How much is Messi worth?

 

[Sviatoslav]

They did it to a Vitesse player too, pretty fucking scummy.

similar thing happened to a player of vitesse this year. he wasn't allowed in the country because of his jewish background.

I bet you Dortmund were behind it as well. They're afraid, don't want our new signings having time to gel with the team!

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-14/barcelona-discloses-55-million-payment-made-to-neymar-s-parents.html

Spanish soccer champion Barcelona said it paid 40 million euros ($55 million) to a company owned by Brazilian playmaker Neymar’s parents as it comes under pressure to give more details about one of last year’s biggest soccer trades.

The team paid the money to N&N Consultoria Esportiva e Empresarial Ltd. as part of a 57.1 million-euro outlay on Neymar, according to a Barcelona statement. Sao Paulo-based N&N is owned by the 21-year-old’s parents, a company filing shows. Last June, Barcelona said the financial details of the trade were protected by a confidentiality clause.

Also:

tariq panja ‏@tariqpanja 10m

DIS paid $2.6m for 40 percent stake of Neymar transfer fee in 2009. Santos got €17m from Barca. Will get €2m more if Neymar wins Balon D'or

United bros, seen what the Da Silva twins' agent said?

"I can say that they will stay in Manchester until the end of the season, but it's very likely that they can go in the summer."

 

[L1NETT]

Didn't Clarke hand in a transfer request?

Need to keep Wilson there. Still got a good squad.

 

[Clegg]

United bros, seen what the Da Silva twins' agent said?

Rafael's contract expires in June 2016. I'm guessing that this is the start of his agent trying to get the best deal he can. Fabio is probably gone though.

 

[Indisguise]

Yes he did. Ungrateful bastard. Just like King.

We've got one of the best teams in the division. We'd be fifth without the points deduction. It's just that we lack squad depth.

 

[omgkitty]

Who is the best left back around at the moment? One of the harder positions to think of atm.

I don't really think there's a "best" LB. There's a few really good ones: Marcelo, Baines, Alaba, Alba. If you want to cheat like FIFA did and just put Lahm there even though he's been playing at RB you could.

 

[Meier]

Everton have had a lot of injuries as well. Anyways we are after some young striker from Standard Liege.

The kid's name is Michy Batshuayi -- definitely looks like a future star although I am not sure how much he'll have to offer this season since he is still young. Definitely a good value at his buyout clause.

Is he good?

Mangala is probably the most highly regarded young CB in Europe. I hope we don't pay €45m for a defender though. That's a ludicrous figure especially for someone his age who wouldn't necessarily play every game.

I had no idea that PL clubs can only have 2 season-long loan players per season.

It's just 2 from the Premier League. They can also have some from abroad (as seen at Everton).

Holy shit who is that??? He looks just like Bale in this photo.

The correct answer is Luke Shaw.

 

[Scum]

He wants more money for them.

Not sure you could ever describe any of the oil clubs as "above board."

Meier, how much of your knowledge about youth players comes from watching them and how much comes from FM?

Lots of smoke.
