I don't understand this. Apparently they don't want to pay him his share of the transfer fee that he's supposedly entitled.

DC made another account so he has somebody to celebrate city's wins with
ohohohoho
Sound about right. Really don't know why they are bitching...
He will always be my hero! Such an awesome player and person

It's just them being petty because Levy presumably haggled them down to the bare minimum on the transfer fee. It's absurd that they are bitching about the a clause in the contract that they drew up for him.
You're being cynical. Teams make their own luck. We may have played a match against a good Uruguay side but we scored 3 goals and won and you complain?
I announced my frustration at the time about how we approached the final is such a negative manner but the fact is we deserved to be there. Yes we were lucky not to draw Germany but we were ranked 2nd in the world based on results not luck. Even if the football we played wasn't to our usual classy standards.
Maybe it's me not liking the NT like anybody else does. I just can't enjoy watching a watch they play, I just can't.
So the sun shines out of RVPs arse and everyone is a cunt except him.
Pull the other one mate.
Every star in that Dutch squad has a massive ego.
RVP is a dick, though. He always has been, just like Robben, VDV, Sneijder, etc. He's behaved like a twat plenty of times in an Arsenal shirt.

lol?
He would be a terrible replacement for Modric. Modric is a deep lying playmaker. Sigurdsson plays exactly like VDV, he is not a central midfielder. If he did join, he would take the spot of Kranjcar and Pienaar in the squad and compete with VDV, perhaps replace Bale/Lennon for the last 20 minutes of a game. What Sigurdsson would bring is a freshness to the squad and a real competitor for VDV, he would not play in the middle with Sandro/Huddlestone/Parker/Livermore already being there, assuming Modric leaves.

I wonder if that's what sold him on Spurs.
Just read those, looks done and dusted. Good signing for Spurs. Sobering start to the transfer window for us. Looks like Gylfi made a monumental U turn.

I wonder what the Sigurdsson thing says about the current state of Liverpool that he'd rather go to a managerless Surs that missed out on Champions League football rather than follow his ex-boss to Anfield despite having a strong relationship with him.
Presumably the contract offer is what sold him, along with the superior playing staff and state of the art new training facility.
Perhaps he has considered how badly Downing, Carroll, Adam, Henderson, etc have done and decided he doesn't want to be lumped in with them.

I had a look on that Liverpool forum (don't judge me). In the Sigurdsson thread someone posted some tweets from some Icelandic dude on twitter that's been insulting Duncan Jenkins and Ben Smith for a few days telling them their info was "old" and he would sign for Spurs.
fake edit: I see Paul-LFC in that thread!
Also, and this is equally unbelievable, some 'doctor' claimed yesterday to have been shown a picture on his bosses mobile of Sigurdsson in a Spurs training top having his medical.
Or maybe it says something about the future of Tottenham. You'd assume if he's signing that he would be told about who the new manager is, and what the long term plans for the club are.

I don't see why he'd sign for Spurs when he could get a nice paycheck from Liverpool to play there, unless Rodgers decided he didn't want to be a ass but I doubt that. Plus 10 million isn't alot for a player of his class when you figure that the 15 million Liverpool offered to Adam Johnson was too low.
PS: I'm new, hello everyone.

Given how long he's extended his contract with Dortmund good luck with that... It will cost a huge amount of money.
He extended like a month ago.

Sadly, all excellent points.
Doesn't make it any less depressing for Liverpool fans - I imagine Swans fans will feel justice has been done, however!
Also concerned that our first act in the transfer window appears to be fucking up a sure thing. Does not bode well at all.
I'm sure life will go on at Swansea Football Club.
Liverpool FC should be the ones P'd off here. They're missing out on a fantastic, shrine hump worthy player.
edit: oh snap, Roberto Rosales is considering offer to join Newcastle.
Not entirely convinced about this point. If we set a value for the player and another club sets it higher, then it's better to pull out rather than end up paying over the odds. It's one of the reasons we want to have more decision makers instead of just one. If he gets attached to the idea of one player, he might pay too much

Case in point: Downing, etc.

I thought you couldn't play for 3 different clubs in 12 months?
Ot: really, really enjoying mad men. I'm kind of surprised.
Perfect reason to sign him. But can't see it happening.
Good lad. My mum watched about 8 episodes of it today as she was off sick from work. Season 3 finale is the best hour of television, of all time.
He linked up well with Messi in the Masters vs Stars game.
Liverpool, free Lee Chung-Yong!

Been rewatching a few episodes of Mad Men. One thing I noticed is the fact you never expect Don to make jokes means that they're so much more funny when he does make one.
"Did you enjoy ze Fuhrer's birthday?"
"So when does he start?"
"The 1st of never!"
lol no. I can make aspirin but it would probably kill you with its impurities.

yep, Suarez's second was brilliant. Suprised no teams tried to get him from Liverpool.
Just woke up from a nap (yeah at nearly 1am, good idea that was) to see the Sigurdsson news. Don't know how to feel about it yet, we're seemingly a long way from the days of our transfer business being conducted in the media (thankfully), so I'll wait and see who he signs for. I'm sure we have other targets lined up in the case that he does choose Spurs, and rumour has it Aquilani is staying next season too (I'll believe that when he's still a Liverpool player when the transfer window closes).
Maybe the racism thing puts them off?
He's a fantastic player though. I'd buy him for 50 million
