arnie i just dribbled pot noodle down my breast

 

[Willkiller]

Wilbs shall we play fifa sometime

 

[3Sixty]

you need a new photographer m8

 

[Broder Salsa]

Would you say yes to that? Of course for some millions, but is it worth the risk of him ending up being some league 2 reserve footballer and you gave it away to... that?

 

[Phantast2k]

Spurs want Klopp apparently,

lal.

I'm laughing at the very idea of Bayern signing this lad with the intention of playing him.

The imbalance at the top of the Bundesliga is so catastrophic.

Lad looks good though, if a little raw. To be honest I don't doubt Klopp will get the team singing again, I just hope it's enough to make the domestic competition somewhat enjoyable, because this season (from the outside) it's been atrocious.

Well, were they even interested in him? Don't think so tbh. Or do you mean Rode? Of course it's one of their "let's just take him out of the market" signings. Though at least they're not killing a talent this time around (Rode is not that talented). Yeah, I have no doubt we will pose more of a contender next season. This injury plight can't continue...

I remember the argument from some non BVB posters in here that Dortmund wouldn't be so badly affected by the loss of Gotze because they'd be receiving £40m for him and would have lots of prize money from the CL and Bundesliga to spend.

Seems like a fairly ridiculous theory now.

We just got some £40m though because that piece of shit extended wanted such a low clause. And we're heading to 70pts in the league with all the injuries. Plenty of teams won the league with some 70+ pts. You can't just fight pure fucking evil that spent some 200m euros in the past three years or so while we kept a balanced budged.

Yeah Gundogan, Bender, Subotic, Piszczek, Schmelzer and Blaszykowski have all been out for extended periods of time haven't they?

Correct, Güdogan just played once or twice this season. Bender & Schmelzer are in and out of the hospital. Piszczek is very slowly regaining his form after being out for half a year. Subotic out after some 1/3 of the season, still recovering. Same with Kuba, basically. We've been fucking ravaged.

I should be sleeping.

Yeah course bruv, I'm pretty confident I can beat you now. It was like you were Liam Neeson on the ice and you said fear is everything and that and then I went away and learnt and now I'm batman

HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGHHH


MAMA IMA GONNA NEEDA NEW PANTYHOSE

 

[Yurt]

Like Arnie said, for a club of Liverpool's size, especially with CL money and huge TV revenue... why not? £10m or £20m -- it's kind of irrelevant. If a player can improve you significantly, the price isn't really that much to concern yourself with unless it's some astronomical £50m+ figure. Even though he didn't play particularly well yesterday, Fernandinho has probably been the signing of the season and he was £30m despite being 28. I'd do that again in a heartbeat if we could sign another player that age who ended up playing such a huge role in our next season.

It's all relative really.

We signed Pavel [Fucking] Nedved for roughly €41 million when he was in his late 20s.

improved us would be an understatement. <3

 

[Willkiller]

I have a Liam Neeson mask. Who am I really?









Let's play.

 

[Yen]

I think I'm guilty of forgetting just how young Jones is sometimes. Obviously someone like Sterling is outperforming him even when taking being switched around into account, but he's never had a decent run at centre back. Unfair to chastise him too much for trying his best in midfield and full back when that isn't his game, but he does a solid enough job there. He's looked nothing but assured the majority of the time he's played in his preferred position.

You're right on his injuries though. Our entire defence apart from that fucking whelk Evra are injury prone, unfortunately.

That reminds me that Sterling has shown himself to be a better RB than Jones

Spoiler

admittedly we were playing Holloway's Palace at home

 

[Wilbur]

I'll hop on Dean's account when he's finished this match. Maybe we can take turns

Pirlo;

 

[Wilbur]

Pirlo is one of my favourite footballers ever

after dwight, scholesy, and david bellion

 

[Arnie]

oh pirlo you beautiful fucking man

 

[Yurt]

Pirlo;

seriously guys, everyone should read his book. It's too fucking funny :lol

 

[Wilbur]

will, coming now

 

[Milchmonster]

Yeah Gundogan, Bender, Subotic, Piszczek, Schmelzer and Blaszykowski have all been out for extended periods of time haven't they?

Most of our starting eleven has been out for at least half the season.

Piszczek - pretty much half a season
Hummels - various injuries, missed 10 Bundesliga matches
Subotic - more than half a season
Schmelzer - same as Hummels, only 12 instead of 10
Bender - pretty much half a season
Gündogan - pretty much the whole season
Kuba - out for half the season

It's only Weidenfeller, Micky, Reus and Lewandowski that have been playing. And Reus had more than a few knocks and minor injuries as well.

 

[Willkiller]

will, coming now

Invite me petal

Prepare to be entered

 

[Carbonox]

KIPLESS

idk lol

Sinclair has 3 lips, why?

The other guy looks like an albino Pepe.

 

[GorillaJu]

will, coming now

Hopefully not the last time footy Gaf hears this

 

[operon]

So if city do get a ban and both they and barca delay if til after the summer prices ste going to go through the roof

Only for the absolutely highest profile players. Our first team signings are City's squad signings. They probably won't interrupt our transfer business too much

 

[Wilbur]

dat Mangala tackle

 

[Clegg]

I'm curious to see how clubs approach the transfer window. Do you wait until after the world cup to see who impresses there or do you try and get business done before that?

For United, I would think that they'd want to get things done early to avoid the embarrassment of last summer.

 

[KidA Seven]

Whoever does business before the world cup is the smart club. You should never base a transfer off of an impressive international tournament.

tell me about it, fucking WC 2010 bought us Khedira ;_;

[K1LLER7]

We are signing Reus and getting Kloppo. Happy days!

Moyes will mess this summer up....But will be saved as Bebe returns, the best player in the world.

 

[Wilbur]

I'll play the second one willy and then dean can play the third

Pls thrash him

No, you shouldn't, but it always happens. I think that the summer of a major international tournament is a bad time to get things done because players focus on the competition and don't want the distraction of switching clubs beforehand. The selling club may also want to hold on to the player in the hopes of driving up his price if he performs well.

 

[Broder Salsa]

lol so the punishment for City, could be... either a fine or a transfer embargo. Oh no, not a fine!

In good news

He is one of the names that interest us, as admitted by our president Erick Thohir in recent days. Then you will discover in due time who will be the player we will focus on.

[Barzul]

Wouldn't say ravaged in terms of numbers. Ramsey, Ozil and Walcott. That's it really, isnt it?

Wilshere too. Fucking Agger.

 

[pulga]

Hey if Higuain and Gervinho are Serie A superstars, Torres will fit right in.

seems like you know absolutely nothing about Dortmund or the Bundesliga m8

Chelsea are the gentleman's club. I'm surprised at how low key they've conducted their business.

Gervinho vs Bradford. Never forget, never forgive.

no one knows anything about the bundesliga because no one cares for mickey mouse leagues m8y

Not sure if actually serious.

Gervinho vs Bradford. Never forget, never forgive.

Remember the first match where people really thought Torres was back? didn't last long.

 

[Elchele]

no one knows anything about the bundesliga because no one cares for mickey mouse leagues m8y

and yet you follow serie a

 

[Clegg]

These were the arguments made last summer.

Yeah sure, they've been hampered by injuries to key players but it was said in here that they wouldn't be too badly off with the loss of Gotze because they had lots of money to spend. Load of bollocks that turned out to be.

i respect your opinion

In the end no one fucking knows, it's certainly not the same situation as the other seasons, because of their injuries, so you can't compare them at all.

 

[K1LLER7]

I think Gundagon has been a bigger miss. But then again, I don't think highly of Gotze.

 

[jtb]

gone girl trailer looks fucking great. in fincher I trust

 

[Barzul]

Is Casmeiro any good?" Apparently we're looking at him.

 

[Willkiller]

POGBAAAAA


It had to be

 

[Wilbur]

Dean's playing the next one

 

[Willkiller]

Playing much better though, defending really well

Prepare your anus Dean, I am the Twix.
