Apparently Gill and Fergie were involved too.

Ferguson would have been involved. Not too sure about Gill.

Truth is, no one outside football-gaf cares about german domestic football, and other than feeling sympathy for Ronaldo, we're only interested in Madrid when Pepe and Ramos deliver the lol's.

Dortmund, Arsenal, Juve and Barca are the only relevant options as they bring meaning and life to the sport; they are truly the people's champions.

 

[wedward]

He sure brought the lols this window.

Made Wenger shit his pants.

14 points. You still have no midfield. Only people shitting their pants are Liverpool.

And the only reason you got him was because Mourinho was feeling generous.

 

[pulga]

Do you seriously think Tottenham went thru this deal without making sure they could get the €100M right away? Banks paid the majority (75-80M), and Real Madrid will have to pay the banks for that money. That's basically a loan.

The article sounds like they try to make RM look better, but the reality is they didn't have the money to pay for the transfer, so they had to rely on banks. Nothing wrong with it, if they can pay back.

sigh, your reading comprehension is dire and your belief that you know better than a newspaper dedicated to economics with no allegiance to Real Madrid is laughable

Madrid clearly has the money, but why the fuck would you pay it all upfront when you can do so in payments?

Ill explain it to you once again

Madrid owes Tottenham 70-80m -----> Tottenham wants money now ----> Deutsche Bank gives money to Tottenham and Spurs transfer RM debt to them -----> Spanish banks buy debt from DB -----> Madrid pays spanish banks in the originally accorded timeframe

If Tottenham couldn't hold it in and wanted 100m that's their problem. Madrid is sticking with the contract and paying in 2014, 2015, 2016. At no point in time has Madrid asked for a 100m credit to any bank in order to pay off the ape, which undoubtedly carries a different interest rate than what the current deal now is.

I don't pretend to understand economics whatsoever, but the deal is pretty clear. If you wanna be thick about it, be my guest. But at least learn what a loan actually entails. Your "basically"'s mean shit.

Why is Messi looking so pudgy nowadays? I though he was back in shape.

Xavi took it? Fuck off

 

[Joel Was Right]

Wenger's vexed because Mata was the one that got away. Chelsea snapped him up whilst Wenger was counting coins in the negotiations that season.

 

[FootballFan]

Tello...cut in at least once in your life.

Xavi took it? Fuck off

Neymar doesn't get to take free kicks or corners because of him lol.

[Relaxed Muscle]

It basically says Real Madrid paid around €20M to Tottenham, and the rest (around €80M) was paid by the banks. The other option was Tottenham waiting 3 years before RM could pay everything directly.

Do you understand the concept of promissory note?

Madrid didn't asked a single loan in this case. They basically accorded to pay Bale transfer in 4 years and 2013 payment was the first one. So basically those 3 promissory notes for the next years were on DB, but Levy needed all the money to do their own transfers so they went to DB and said:"Hey since we are gonna get all this money in 3 years, why don't you gives it us now ?" and DB was like:"Well is a fuckton of money better make sure that Madrid can pay us" so they asked Madrid bank pools and they said:"No problem dude! Madrid will surely do their yearly payments!" and so DB gave Spurs the money.

There was no loan since Madrid didn't asked for money all they did is:"Hey, here's a paper saying we will pay you in 2014,2015,2016!"

Exactly what I explained to him with very, very limited knowledge of economics, but I like to think I'm bright enough to understand what a fucking monetary loan is.

 

[KidA Seven]

I wanted Woodward gone after the debacle and felt Moyes would be hamstrung because we had an incompetant doing our transfer dealings.

Then they did dis

Moyes deserved blame too. Not just Woodward. Moyes' target was Fabregas. Fabregas. How the fuck did he expect Woodward to get that done after Barca had just sold Thiago? Good luck getting Barca to sell both in the same window.

And then to bid £30m for him, a similar amount he ultimately paid to get Fellaini. Cesc is worth double that.

 

[dc89]

does he look like Toby the Turtle?

:loooooooooool

Anderson has something silly on the back of his shirt right? Something like Andow.

@MisterChiping: FCB 3-0 MGA (FT) - Messi has not scored in his last 562 minutes of football in La Liga (eight games). His longest drought since Feb-2008.

HGH drought in full effect, first Ramsey now Messi. Ship him off to PSG while he's still worth something.

Really hope we don't let Podolski go in the Draxler deal, we don't have enough strikers already without letting one of our best finishers go.

It's been confirmed that isn't happening. People are basing this on a Sky Sports Germany tweet. Apparently it was just a hypothetical question.

 

[Feorax]

This Andre Gomes link seems to be picking ul a bit of steam.

If (massive if) we do buy him, I hope he actually get's game time and isn't just another Aspas/Alberto.

@ViktorFagerLFC: BR: "If Moses does really well for us there is a possibility we will want to have him permanently."

We're going to need another winget in the summer then.

 

[Clegg]

Guardian says Moyes shared his transfer plans with Rooney and that's what may convince him to stay.

They also say PSG bud for Januzaj and we told them to piss off.

Good. I think this whole thing was brought up in the summer as well, really don't want to see him go.

I think he should get more games here as well with the fixture list we have coming up, move Cazorla out on the right and stick him on the left.

Are PSG just taking the piss this window?

Saw that earlier today. Basically says United had their Arsenal moment and have come to the realisation that they need to spend lots of cash to remain competitive.

Yep, it's from here. <3

[jtb]

getting rid of Podolski this window would be suicidal, given Walcott's injury and the mere existence of Bendtner

if anything, bringing in yet another attacking midfielder might force Wenger to play him up top a little more often

 

[Fergie]

Forgive my transgressions Ed.

You are a wolf.

Based Woodward.

 

[Clegg]

Guardian says we were offered Ozil in the first week of the transfer market but turned him down because Moyes wanted a better idea of the players he currently had at his disposal.

Daniel Taylor also says we're unlikely to sign anyone else thus transfer window as Shaw prefers a move to Chelsea and United's scouts were left "confused" as to whether on not Guarin was any good.

 

[Barzul]

Rooney future United captain? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Your captain wanted to join City. Like I'd laugh my ass off if this happens and looking at Moyes it probably will. It's even worse than when we gave our captaincy to Gallas.
