Support NeoGAF

[Slizz]

I thought they broke some UEFA rules or something paying off people in order to get Neymar to join Barca.

I've been slightly avoiding this thread since the Mata mention.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

oh my hahaha

Need a basic understanding of spanish for that one. another golden one <3

jajajajajajajajaja

 

[FootballFan]

Even more confused. By not paying tax on the transfer?

Nah no one knows exactly what's happened /happening. Kiraly is just trolling atm.

There were payments and agreements with neygod before the signing was made and negotiated with santos, that's the main issue, I think.

 

[Meier]

Does anyone actually understand the Neymar scandal? Is this board member meant to have nicked money, or Barca, I dont get it. <Thick>

Disregarding any potential tax implications, Barcelona is owned by its club members (socios) technically. Their Board of Directors is meant to represent their interests. Because this is a publicly owned club, they need to disclose their spending -- by steadfastly saying Neymar cost X but spending Y (which in this case is significantly higher than X), they're breaking the law by misleading their shareholders/owners.

 

[LegoArmo]

I don't think he's even started 80% of the games so far.

Tbh though, not like we have anyone else to pick.

Feel like Mata is a "Adnan is only 18, take some pressure off him" and "Rooney can play striker if van Persie is injured" kind of signing. Just gives United a few more options.

 

[Hixx]

Hahaha our assistant manager got sent off last night for celebrating.

 

[LanceVance]

Corruption in Spanish football? How shocking...

 

[Mr Cola]

Double unveiling Monday, book it

Lets hope for a repeat of these fine fellows :s

 

[Vivalaraza]

Madrid coming in for Neymar clearly scared the shit out of Barca.

Barca is paying taxes for half that undisclosed 100+ million.

babies are starving

women are selling their bodies

despicable beyond belief

K thanks all. I think I get it.

 

[Linius]

basically, mata means "kill" in spanish, so its:

Mou: PEPE KILL! with a huge satisfactory grin on his face
Mou: JUAN, KILL! but is clearly unhappy because Mata's like "derp derp you called chief?"

so he's off to the moyes boys

sheesh that took the fun out of everything lol

A clown just died. Great.

 

[Kiraly]

Rosell is accused of having misappropriated funds from the signing of Neymar.

Basically cooking the books, which is a big fucking crime that you can do serious time for.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I don't really know where he will fit in but he is just too good a player to pass up on on.

However there is clearly some desperation here. After turning Ozil down in the summer it doesn't make too much sense to now want Mata.

Not complaining though. As you say Januzaj is playing too much and Mata will offer a precision in the final third which no other player in our squad has.

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

 

[Mr Cola]

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

Saw some interesting videos of him refusing to shake hands with Jewish players, not sure there is any teeth to the claims though.

 

[Baki]

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

Isn't he anti Zionist which is a bit different??

Wut?

Still can't compute this stuff, I'd like to think our generation will wipe this out but I doubt it.

 

[Yurt]

I don't get it

if you're rich as fuck, and a president of a football club

why would you go out of your way to do something like this?

ego?

it happens all the time, and I'll never get it.

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

Anti-Zionist

Lol what? RT @ChevroletFC Welcome to #MUFC, striker Juan #Mata. What does everyone think of this transfer?

Someone at Chevy fucked up. Tweet already deleted.

Anti-Zionist, I think.

I wish I were present for the awkward meeting between him and Roman.

Chevy fucked up calling Mata a striker.

Plus a bonus clause if he plays his home games at Camp Nou.

i have now just came up with a horribly insensitive joke



fuck my mind

 

[Sviatoslav]

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

He seems happy enough to accept Abramovich's Jewish money.

 

[arkon]

Is it true that Salah is an anti-Semite?

No, but he doesn't like Jews.

 

[Can Crusher]

I remember Florentino saying that getting Neymar would cost Madrid €150M, people laughed at him, but he clearly know what he was talking about.

Yup, Florentino called that shit.

 

[Lightning]

Nah.

Arsenal please. Chelsea could become hard to stop, no such worries with Arsenal.

I don't mind City winning it and then spending another £100m strengthening their team.

Macron, if you don't want to do their shirts anymore, just tell them..

 

[Vivalaraza]

Is the stuff about Salah based on him refusing to shake the hands of the players of that Israeli club or did something else happen after that?

 

[GQman2121]

Chevy fucked up calling Mata a striker.

He plays so far forward at times in the middle he might as well be a SS. You could do much worse there anyway.

 

[KidA Seven]

It bugs me that Celtic only got around £6m for Ki. His technical ability and class has always been apparent, but he was considered below Wanyama, Brown, Ledley and Kayal at Celtic.

Still very young, physically perfect for football, and a lot of Premier League fans have noticed him this season.

Rumoured attitude problems, though.

Those problems only pertain to Korea. In the national team he said crap about the manager (their Allegri) on facebook where only a couple of friends could interact with him. He also divided the team into two. He saw the domestic players as lesser than the players who were playing abroad.

Fucking hell. Macron does our kit....I live in fear.

 

[Zabojnik]

yurt no

i thought you were cool with arsenal. you even tried to cheer me up after losing to united.

what happened
where did it go wrong

please come back

You come at the Juve, you best not miss.

 

[GorillaJu]

I'm surprised that I'm not surprised Chelsea have signed Salah.

 

[FootballFan]

Fucking hell. Macron does our kit....I live in fear.

In which environment would that pattern of camouflage even be deemed necessary.
Ridiculous.

 

[Yurt]

After just 16 Premier League games, one of the starkest aspects of the 18-year-old&#8217;s rise has been how he so brightly stands out amidst the United attack. In a David Moyes team that rather predictably tends to push every single move out to the wing for an orthodox cross in, Januzaj is currently the only player offering any variation, any spark. To put it somewhat bluntly, he thinks outside the box - or, in this case, the rigid template.

For one, Januzaj will move between the lines and actually attempt to beat a man, creating more space that way. A sudden jink away will open up an entire area of the pitch. The Brussels-born attacker attempts more dribbles per game (1.9) than any other player in the United team except Nani, but the Portuguese has played just eight games. The younger attacker is also 15th in the Premier League as a whole in terms of taking on a defender.

At the end of those dribbles, Januzaj is also more productive and imaginative than most of Moyes&#8217; other picks. He tries more shots per game (2.1) than anyone except the two stars in Van Persie (3) and Rooney (3.2), and tries the most through balls in the squad, at 0.3 per match.

The rigidness of United&#8217;s present approach does not apply to Januzaj. Reflecting that, there is the ridiculous number of times he is unfairly impeded. This, for all the accusations of diving, is one case where the perceptions are true. Moyes and United have a right to feel aggrieved at the treatment of their young player. At 2.8 per game, Januzaj is fouled more than anyone in the Premier League except Eden Hazard, and his compatriot is only marginally ahead on 2.9. It is testament to the fact opposition defences have already worked out that, if you stop Januzaj, you&#8217;ll likely stop the current United.

Juan Mata can&#8217;t arrive quickly enough to complement him

Ridiculous.

It looks like stains from a wresting match. Wrestling in banana and blueberry yoghurt....
