If the Llorente thing is true, then RVP is leaving. I'd rather spend the money in central midfield and defence.

You would have changed your mind by the end of the first month.
If Arsenal lose RVP they need to bring somebody in with a proven goal-scoring record.
They'd gain £30m by selling RVP.
So they wouldn't lose that much money by buying Llorente.
If they even do.

Doesn't Llorente's contract have only a year left to run on it?
I think Arsenal shouldn't have an opinion that the Carling Cup is not worth winning, that it's below them etc. Hell, I'd love City to win it at any stage. It's a trophy at the end of the day, and success breeds success or so they say.
It would be pretty funny if he announces a contract extension in the press conference.

What if you won the Champions League but only ever had 49% possession in each game?
Outrageous!
If you don't have more possession you already lost!
right, guys?????
(btw, I think that part of "you already lost" is wrong no?, what's the correct way of saying/writing it?)

The death knell for football already rung when we won the CL this season. Would be funny to see Arsenal stick the final dagger in.
Indeed, I will be a danger to myself and others if this period passes without news.

Just saw the highlights of our match against France, and even though we lost I'm still very happy with our performance. I still wish we had a better defence and we should have at least tied we still performed way better under Lagerback than that useless asshat Ólafur.
Also, Kolbeinn+Björn Berg frontline should be mandatory for the next 15 years.

But his tweet after of 'Kagawa link with #MUFC is an interesting one. Just maybe.' is certainly something more solid.
Considering he's Editor for the BBC Football site I'd be inclined to give him more time than most people on Twitter.

A Spanish journalist for the paper El Mundo Deportivo.
Howard Nurse knows nothing BTW. He basically comes to know things once he's told to put them on the site, won't know anything ahead of time or have any inside knowledge.

Haven't been following transfer gossip too closely considering Hazard got linked to City, Chelsea and United within the same week as if it was a done deal.
So...any confirmed news on Hazard?
According to L'Equipe:
Chelsea are now favourites, United still in with a chance and City have dropped out of the race altogether.

Someone tried to keep the ball rolling by linking him to Arsenal...little did they know that was a combo breaker.

Wow man every midfielder in that squad is just so good.. :S Surprised about Soldado not making it. Puyol and Villa missing sucks though.
Shaqiri is going to use the #11
Jealous. Such a good signing for Bayern
I like it more than last season's kit already.
Home kit looks great imo. Away kit just looks bad.
wtf when and how did this happen.
I hope we don't bid for RVP. Villa + 60mil for RVP ? haha god damn that Ibra transfer was stupid. Eto'o is already better than Ibra yet they add 60mil to that.. :S

Steve Kean wants the Keane brothers on loan from united, with him playin jake Kean in the nets I think he may want to surround himself with as many Kean / Keanes as possible to hide himself from Kean out chants
Pro - maybe help Blackburn out of a hole.
Con - maybe help Venkys and Kean out of a hole.

Umm, I think it's okay actually. I guess you would say, "You have already lost".
Nooooo. Those two lads are great, don't want them going to a drama ridden club.
Did you watch the game?

Bad quality but worth it for the lols of seeing Valdes playing for both teams at once (look at the back of his shirt) pique being all kinds of awesome. Pinto being a decent fusal keeper.
Lol Messi
As funky (read bad kits) go I like how out bright valdes kit is and how bright the red one is.

He's going to be a good player.

Will keane helped us once, at old Trafford he came on and blocked a Phil jones shot on the line
Will Keane and Steve Kean cost you the title

My turn for transfer bullshit story floating around that LFC is still targeting Jürgen Klopp and that he's the number one target. 300/1 odds a few days ago suddenly 5/1.
I want to believe. Someone hold me.
Edit: it was bullshit indeed! Fake account where the L and I were swapped to imitate a journo. I've been had, again.
Martínez may not like the management structure. Rodgers emerging as more likely choice among the two.

Whatever happened to AVB as a candidate?
Not sure really. Interest has cooled though. Thought that his man management is rather poor and his tactics too rigid. May not be good to have two strict disciplinarians (with Van Gaal)

Fact is, no one has any idea who are next manager and DOF is going to be.
van Gaal is going to bring Jonker as coach, so he (van gaal) indirectly will be the actual coach. After that, he'll sell Luis Suárez and anyone with problems to follow orders.

What's going on with Chelsea? Hardly any reports about who will fill their vacancy.

Well if Di Matteo was going to get it I would of thought they would of confirmed it already to be honest.
We will no doubt talk to him, or have him on the shortlist, but yeah.. no way it will happen. Don't even think he'd be tempted by the money.

Terry is going to fill out the role until Guardiola is done resting.

Seriously though, Abramovich is the sort to be looking for complete domination of the League and Europe now after getting the Champion's League, and Di Matteo is clearly not the man for that job.
The guy wants the biggest of everything, from Oil company, to Private Yacht.
If not, I wouldn't be too shocked to see him wanting to sell the club in a year or two.

Hahah cool. Thanks Messi
I read an article yesterday or the day before that Roman had reversed course and was preparing to offer Di Matteo a permanent deal, probably just 1 year to start.

Just to throw another clown into the circus, the fake twitter based on the Moose from talksport (whoever that is) is adamant that Klopp will be coming. The real Moose from talksport (whoever the fuck that is) was also sure that it'd be Klopp. So its a fake twitter that's basically copying the thoughts of the person its based on, which to me seems like the most pointless use of a fake twitter imaginable.
