United have been linked with him for months now. He could be a fantastic striker if he improves his finishing. I can´t see us selling him for less than 20M.
City bought him in January 2011. He did have a productive season (19 goals in 40 matches) so the price is expected to be in the range of £20-25 million. We paid £27 million for him.
Yeah, I realized I worded that funny after I'd headed to lunch -- I meant that I had not heard any rumors of City's interest previously.
Looks like it's Rodgers then, Duncan Jenkins confirmed we're in contract talks with him, and considering what he's got right so far I doubt he would unless he actually thought it was happening.
His brochure is brilliant by the way:
"tatical mouse"
'so i have borrowed michael owen's superp idea of doing a P.R. brochure'
Fucking LOL

I admire Rodgers, great philosophy and faith he puts into his team. I do wonder though if it is too early for him, maybe stay at Swansea for a 2nd season but then again he did get them near the top half, so all credit to him and his players!
If he goes to Liverpool, I expect the media to jump on him from the start. But I think he will get Liverpool playing some great football, and win over his critics. Also, he should teach Suarez how to finish :lol

Ali G and Borat were the same length. His characters aren't interesting enough for the film to be anything other than 80-90 min films, tbh.

Hahaha, seems like Götze is called Pummelfee at Dortmund since he came back from his injury. There's no proper translation, word for word it's "chubby fairy".
So I assume you didn't like it enough then. I haven't watched Borat and Ali G so I wouldn't know what to expect but from the trailers (which I hope it wasn't very spoilary), it seems that it could be a larger story than it appears to be. He is a bloody dictator after all.
But again, I shall see for myself what sort of movie it is. It seems that everyone I have talked to about it got a few laughs here and there.
?
Perfect.

That was utterly brilliant and disgusting :lol :lol
I also liked the fort one Hahahaha
well now you've got to tell us
Care to back this up? Or anyone else? Don't know too much about Swansea under Martinez, so will be interested to read about it.
We discovered overstream, which is a subtitling program, and ended up doing some of those Hitler videos. Then I stumbled upon a French version of Fort Boyard and a Persian rap and subtitled them and the forum went batshit over them but I got banned for being too explicit in talking about cock.
I thought that was a very known thing that went around? From what I hear from Podcasts and what not, most of those players were there when Rodgers arrived and the club had a certain discipline which he based his work around.
You must show us this video.
Roberto Carlos is the last major signing for the 'Classic Match' 2012 that veterans face Real Madrid to Manchester United. El brasileño volverá a galopar por la banda izquierda para delicia de los que acudan al Bernabéu por una buena causa. The Brazilian will gallop down the left wing to the delight of those who come to the Bernabeu for a good cause.
fuck yeah!
looking forward to this classic match
fuck yeah!

It was very relevant to that forum haha. Maybe I'll make one for here.
Rodgers signed some of Swansea's best players this year (Vorm, Graham, Sigurdsson). Obviously a lot of the framework was in place when he took over, but it'd be disingenuous to suggest he inherited a squad that would have performed as well as Swansea have this season.
Definitely not, but Swansea weren't doing too good when Martinez took over, he introduced new training regimes and a new continental style of play and almost got the team promoted himself. Then he left for Wigan and Rodgers finished the job, and did so amazingly well.
No one knows for sure how much of Martinez's philosophy carried over though, I guess.
I just find it interesting, maybe FSG did know what kind of manager they wanted from the start, they just couldn't decide which of the Swansea boys it would be.

Be aware that you have to mention "cunt" at least 15 times.
Child's play, that'll be in the first 2 minutes alone
Is that confirmed? I thought it stayed open last year, it did used to close for E3 though.

Yep I think you're right, and honestly I think both managers will go on to achieve a lot in the game. I just think that, currently, Rodgers is probably going to handle the step up a little better than Martinez.
I don't remember it closing last year either.
I want something new and exciting! Preferably on PC!
OT will stay open.
The exiled communities however....

It seems Eric Dier will be doing the pre-season with the main squad of Sporting. Good news, he is probably our most promising center back.
CDP! Holy shit!
