We could use both MvB and Lucio in the CL final -_-
2010 maybe but not this year! Neither player would've been comfortable sitting on the bench.
I'll believe it when I see it. Might not be a superspending mercato for Milan, but Berlusca has got to shill out more than that, surely? How much are you guys paying for Montolivo, btw?
Yeah, it will be a bitter sweet day tomorrow. Scudetto party + Il Capitano, Pippo, Ringhio, Nesta and some dude from the second Milan team leaving ... Salty discharge incoming.
Montolivo is a free transfer, I think.

Milan to replace Van Bommel with Riccardo Montolivo, playing at Fiorentina.

Oh, right. I'm not his or Aquilani's biggest fan, but I wish him all the best at Milan. I don't know about him replacing Gattuso, though. He's not called Dormolivo for nothing.
Kenny says we have our plans already laid out for the summer transfers, it's just a matter of doing the work. And according to him, we aren't planning on anyone being sold, except Fabio Aurelio should be leaving because his contract is up.
Yeah... we'll see about that. :lol
Yeah... we'll see about that. :lol
Here are the stand-out points:
* Mathieu Debuchy IS a transfer target for Newcastle, helped especially by the fact that he shares the same agent as Cabaye and they're both friends.
* New contract is being discussed with Demba Ba. Pardew said that if Newcastle didn't qualify for Europe, he may have left.
* Danny Simpson nor his agent agreed that the new contract offered is good enough so Pardew told him to either go in the Summer or wait it out until next year when his contract runs out.
* Danny Guthrie is leaving. He wants constant first-team football.
* 3 trialists are currently trying to earn a contract with the club, with possibly only one being selected.
* Pardew said that if the best teams come in for players, Newcastle can't stop their players leaving if they want to go. However, this will only happen for incredible transfer fees, so I doubt anyone will leave unless a team wants to make a mug of themselves like Liverpool did.
* Pardew said that the underbelly of the club needs a rehaul due to European commitments. So a bigger squad in other words.
Was a great interview. Read more or the full version here: http://www.newcastleunited.us/2012/05/pardew-drops-debuchy-hint-512.html?
I've just heard about the possible Strootman. I've also read that more Mendes agent wankery may be involved.
I'm not sure if it's worth it.
front row, second from right -> alaba's sister plays for bayern women? :O
haha, damn.
I can't decide which is worse: agents who leech off of big amounts of money moving between club and player, or the fact that without them, players would get taken advantage of by clubs due to lack of business sense.
They're a somewhat necessary evil, but I'm really not looking forward to hearing all the shit by Kia Joorabchian, Raiola, etc. this summer.

It has been like that for a lot of years. Except for the 2010 summer, when Robinho was paid around 18M, every other transfer window was like that. Last year: Taiwo and Mexes for free, Aquilani on loan, Nocerino 500k, other half of Boateng 7.5, half of ElSha 7.5= 15.5M. Berlusconi doesn't want to spend any more money on Milan, plus his son and his daughter don't want to see other family money "thrown away" at the team. Which also explains why we've had players like Seedorf, Zambrotta and Gattuso all this time: relying on those players is cheaper than buying some new ones.
I'm not making this up, our transfers have almost always (95% of the time) been like that, sadly.
He's better than any player of Ajax. Yes even Vertonghen.
I dont think it's that black and white: That scenario might be the case for most European football players but i think that many young African / South American players get taken advantage of by their agents / selling clubs. Let's not forget that the agent will most likely get a percentage of the transfer fee.

1.FFC are going to have to salvage their season with the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League against Olympique Lyon. Similar situation to the Bayern Men Team.
Only that Dortmund is a harder opponent than the Bayern Women Team
Fake, obviously, but would be pretty nice.
Also, the sponsor's logo (Jeep) on our first kit for next season is more or less confirmed to be a goddamn sticker. Again. Fuck you, Nike, seriously. Or whoever's responsible for this travesty.
These mock-ups are teasing me with their awesomeness.
Oh and this shirt would look a lot better without a sponsor.
This is amazing. AMAZING
Edit: ^^One of my fav. mock-ups so far!
Juventus has today become the first club in the world to launch its own channel on iTunes.

Every fan should have the club’s official anthem ‘Juve, storia di un grande amore’ among their collection. This can be downloaded separately from the album for free by clicking here
The CD can be purchased on iTunes and at the stadium’s ‘Vip Store’ on Sunday. It is also set to go on sale in all good record stores.

1. Queen - Don't stop me now (Buffon)
2. The Killers - When you were young (Vucinic)
3. Kasabian - Days are forgotten (Marchisio)
4. Coldplay - Every teardrop is a waterfall (Bonucci)
5. The Verve - Lucky man (Borriello)
6. Pearl Jam - Just breathe (Matri)
7. Oasis - Whatever (Del Piero)
8. Lady Gaga - The edge of glory (Pepe)
9. Bob Sinclair - Love generation (Pirlo)
10. Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger (Storari)

20. Paolo Belli - Juve storia di un grande amore (Official club anthem)
Edit: ^^One of my fav. mock-ups so far!
Hahah, haha, ha...what? Seriously? That guy is way too aggresive, can't take any criticism and is still very childish, on the field and on twitter.
He isn't ready to be a star, maybe in a couple of years. But for now? Remember what he said after the 2-0 loss against Ajax? He sucked balls that match and he said:
''I want to kick an Ajaxplayer out of this stadium'' The fuck is wrong with him. I loved Strootman till December last year, since then,...ugh, back to Utrecht.
Well, that settles it, we have to keep Matri now. Oh, Pepe.
Bonucci
No Elia
See the similarities with van Bommel?
In any case, pretty much anyone wants to kick an ajax player out of the stadium, so that's nothing new.
Next year Strootman and van Bommel will be playing on the midfield. Mark will teach Kevin how to become a real man.
United could do with an aggressive player in midfield.
It's something we're in desperate need of.
Yeah he cán be the new van Bommel, but right now? hellllll no.
And to the other thing? awhhh, cute. 3rd place is also good

Hey guys, glad you liked my pics from the Schalke friendly earlier this week!
I love snapping a ton of photos when great teams from across the pond come and play here. We dont get to see great teams like these play week in and week out so I try to capture as much as I can of the game and my sons experience at them.
I found these other 2 shots and figured I'd share them.
This was right after Huntelaar got up...his face didnt look to good, he took quite a shot.
I have alot more that are really good..but there mostly MLS..

Juve play music when they score? Ewwwwwwwww.

Any pictures of Henry or Beckham?
Or just post your favourites!
Good thing we never score.
You rarely hear it with the crowd/Conte screaming anyway
wow amazing goal + celebration
I like the first celebration. :lol
You know, if I was a professional, I'd love to try different countries/continents club-wise. Though if I were a professional, my mind-set would probably be different and leaned towards where the money is, heh. But to look back on my career and see that I've played in countries like England, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, USA, or where ever, would be a genuine accomplishment.
