but he did stay after all, and not for the money!

Yup after he was basically forced to do so It was either stay and sign a new contract or stay and play out the contract after which Real might not even be interested.

 

[Fergie]

Moyes is love.

 

[Frank the Great]

Pirlo's agent and the Madrid people manipulate him like a toy and Galliani, in addition to simply requiring him to stay out the contract he voluntarily signed with Milan, offers a blank check five-year new deal . . . and somehow Milan is the bad guy in this situation.

Pirlo is really a bitter cunt.

 

[Yurt]

I would blame Conte, to be honest. He has tons of talent in the squad and yet he plays it safe in around 90% of the matches I've watched this season.

You're clueless. I'll stop at that.

You don't score 71 goals by playing it safe.

 

[Salazar]

That's a very large cue ball

Or a subtle joke about Asian stature.

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Isn't that all whole Rio betrayal thing based on conjecture?

Would expect a bit of respect tbh.

Only insomuch that it isn't completely verifiable fact. But yeah it seems reasonably well known he's been leaking things to his press mates because he's disgruntled and wants to get his oar in on the punditry carousel.

 

[Clegg]

Did Rio actually say that he wants to stay?

That's a 180.

Wonder what's going on there?

Either his new job prospects are looking shit or he knows Moyes is out.

 

[rossonero]

The impression I'm getting from Pirlo is that he really hated Milan.

Indeed, or he is just bitter about the way things ended. After all, Galliani choose Allegri over Pirlo and even gave Pirlo only a pen for 10 years service. Pretty shitty ending if you ask me.

 

[GorillaJu]

Man I love Silicon Valley. Wish they were hour long eps instead of 30.

Doesn't excuse the pen and telling him he wasn't needed.

He's bitter, sure, but rightly so.

 

[Clegg]

Can only hope its the latter. Ultimate karmic justice if new boss then kicks Rio out the door.

I got a chuckle from today's Mirror back page.

"United eye Dortmund boss if Moyes fails."

"If"

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

United fine Welbeck, Cleverley and Young for their late-night antics.

[Vivalaraza]

God, our wage bill is far too high considering the quality of our squad.

Strange to complain about it since the wage/turnover ratio is so low but looking at it against other sides, jeez.

Although I guess Rio, Vidic and Evra were 3 top players who are now costing far more than they're worth...

 

[rossonero]

Yurt, thanks for the snippets from the book. Now I'm done with Pirlo, good to see him gone. But not so good that he won three Scudettos in a row obviously.

:lol

First smalling, now this

Maybe it's not Moyes, it's that the whole squad are always hungover as fuck every saturday

Must be around 300k a week to be freed up when those three leave.

Come on down Herr Kroos.

ARNIE WAS RIGHT

I posted this without having seen the new United story on the Guardian.

"United offer Toni Kroos £260k a week to join"

Thank you Jamie Jackson.

 

[Salvadora]

£260,000 p/w for Toni Kroos.

Holy shit.

 

[Yurt]

13.8-14 million a year for KROOS?

 

[Fergie]

Only way innit.

 

[Clegg]

I like Jamie Jackson.

Poor writer and a complete fantasist.

But he's entertaining.

 

[Hixx]

bla you evil motherfucker

fady is legit hurt

 

[Yurt]

260,000*1.2*52 ~ €16m

Whoaaaa

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Can't believe Bla unfollowed Fady because Fady retweeted some stuff about Rafinha's stupid sending off :lol

Pep humour.

Edit: That too.

bla you evil motherfucker

Someone pls explain this twitter drama.

Fady on twitter sounds great lol

 

[pappe]

260mil Euros? thats like 200 mil GBP right?

Thats high but i guess thats the going rate for getting World class talent these days and without Champs league we have no option but to throw monies.

Big risk for a player who has had only 1 good season and that too in the Bundesliga.

 

[Carbonox]

He's so abused and confused that he's now hanging around the Pig. Poor Shinji.

Fady's tweets were tame compared to mine loooooool but I was obviously kidding.

but it's Toni Kroos. Germany's Gareth Barry.

 

[TheLucifer]

That's a shit way to talk for Pirlo about his former team. We weren't Inter back then, this:

and this:

happened to us, not Inter, Juve, Real Madrid or Chelsea. And happened to him as well, meanwhile both Chelsea and Real Madrid didn't even won a single CL during those five years.

Maybe instead of complaining about the pen he should recognize that his behaviour wasn't the best out there, literally selling himself to Real and Chelsea whenever he had the chance. He didn't care about Milan, I don't get the point in expecting much more from Galliani aside from a pen.

 

[Hixx]

Look how little emotion is on his face though. He clearly hated himself during those moments.

 

[Yurt]

the ink was blue

I mean come on

 

[Wilbur]

Thoughts:

260k a week is obscene.
Pirlo is a bit of a knob.
I have a cold in fucking April.
Mia San mia, fuck bla

I just don't get the boner English media seems to have for Kroos. He's good, but he's not 16m/year good.

Young, German, centre midfield.

 

[Yurt]

Young, German, centre midfield.

Expensive, not THAT good and.....German.

 

[TheLucifer]

09/07/2006. Berlin, his highest accomplishment. Look at his face.

The guy's emotionless, he hates himself for being a football player or something.

the ink was blue

I mean come on

You're right, should've been with red ink.

 

[Wilbur]

Expensive, not THAT good and.....German.

I think he's very very good, but maybe not 260k good. Big Willy would be on much smaller wages and is probably more what we need from the sound of things.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

260k sure is a chunk of change. I wonder how much Ross Barkley is going to be on next season at Chelsea?

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I think he's very very good, but maybe not 260k good. Big Willy would be on much smaller wages and is probably more what we need from the sound of things.

Nah we need a creative, incisive passer more imo.

 

[TrueBlue]

25 years since HIlsborough today. I hope everything goes well today, Liverpool-GAF.



Justice for the 96.


YNWA.

We already have three hundred and eleven of them on our bench

From deep though. Someone who isn't the now defunct Michael Carrick.

 

[Yurt]

United need Vidal and Marchisio

led by Conte



why am I trying to turn United into my Juve

 

[pappe]

but it's Toni Kroos. Germany's Gareth Barry.

He better have 100% accuracy on those sideways passes.

 

[Ushojax]

Lamela was supposed to appear at the Spurs store today for a signing event, now he's been replaced by Harry Kane.

Does he even exist?

It is difficult to get a dead guy to sign autographs.

RIP in peace Coco Chanela.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Joke that City and PSG aren't going to get thrown out of UEFA competitions for failing to comply with FFP. I hope other clubs appeal against this.

Explain please the logic behind fining clubs that have no concept of staying profitable through legitimate means.

"You're spending too much money. Give us some money"

Lamela was supposed to appear at the Spurs store today for a signing event, now he's been replaced by Harry Kane.

Yes. But the only reason we know is because that lad got a picture of him in the park.
