I don't understand why Wilbrrr is so obsessed with Arsenal fans. Like can't he just look at the table? It's not our fault he follows an inferior team. Come back to us when your club knows how to shoot proper penalties Wilbrrr

What's Wilbur saying?
 
Just saw this and had a laugh. I love the art. The song that accompanies the clip is not very good though.

Also, as far as Neymar, I don't blame him and his camp at all for seeing what they could get away with. I am shocked that a club the size of Barca would commit so much to a player that is largely untested against consistent top talent. But I suppose it is La Liga and it's a squad made up of the worlds best players already. It's not like they'll be reprimanded in anyway. Rosell is falling on that sword.

Its nothing new, the 2 big clubs in Spain have paid some ridiculous amount of money to FLOPs. Henrique, Keirrison, Faubert, Gravesen have collected some nice checks from the 2 big ones.

but

he owns 100% of his image rights

what now Meier

tell me

I am sure there's some flexibility in that. I wouldn't be surprised if the €40m Barca paid his dad were to buy those rights back or at least some sort of portion of it. But even if he was profiting off any sort of advertising with him in it, it's still good for the club if he's wearing a Barca shirt.

Well swansea city stadium is going to be a construction site for the next few years. The capacity will jump from 20,000 to 33,000. Wonder if we have enough supporters to fill it?

He was the star defender during Newells run to the championship during Martino's time; he is good, dominant in the air; I think he will do well in the EPL. He was more of a bargain option than a AAA defender.

Do you follow the Argentine league or just know a bit about this guy due to the Tata connection? If you do follow it at all, do you know if anything about young Bruno Zucolini? Heard good things but no first hand knowledge. Plays for Racing, should be joining City in the summer.

I'm so glad Uli went against Pep and didn't buy Neymar.
You knew it was bad when Perez came out and said that signing Neymar would have cost Madrid over £100m. You knew from that Rosell was hiding details of the transfer. No way can there that big a gap in fees.

This isn't related, but these guys reminded me...

Does anyone remember Kerlon? He was a YouTube sensation circa 2007 for his "seal dribble", where he'd go past players while heading the ball. Guy even got a move to Inter, but he plays for a Japanese third division side now. He's only twenty-five, though, so there's still time for a comeback.

Haha, that guy was at Ajax for a while. Can't even remember if he played a game at all for us :lol

yeah I followed South American footbal a lot, he is an early bloomer, good midfielder, he has tons of potential; he can play both as a defensive mid and as a box to box midfielder; I am still not sure about his fitness thou; he tends to get injured often but if City can manage to keep him healthy he can be the next cambiasso.

There is no way these stats are accurate.

Silva has 51 key passes in 13 games. 6 assists, 4 goals.
Ozil has 51 key passes in 17 games, 7 assists, 4 goals.

The only player with more key passes is Hazard at 52 in 22 games. Whatever they're using for Chances Created, there's no scenario where Silva's Per Minute average isn't notably lower than Ozil's.

Cool, thanks for the insight! I don't know if it's finalized or not (heard yes and no), but hopefully it pans out. He is part Italian so he should be able to join us immediately without any work permit issues.

They might not be using just this season. I found it on twitter, but I'll dig deeper.

I miss Ronaldinho, only time I ever watched the Spanish league, the ingenuity was unparalleled.
 
muahaha only kidding, you're both tied :p

Speaking of Brazilians... what happened to Luís Fabiano? He was pretty good in the last WC.

he is doing well, he scored against the US in the training camp a few days ago @ Sao Paulo; he never quite made it to larger club, Sevilla had the chance to sell him for decent money but waited too long, then he went to Sao Paulo for 7 million I think
