He's my wet dream too. Bruno ain't too bad! We can use him to rest Chiello!
SP7? Nooooo! I want Simone to stay. He's such a great guy, everybody in the team seems to like him and when he's on form he actually pretty good. Can't we just ship Krasic back to Russia? Elia? Martinez? :/
EDIT: I bought the first Sandman Slim novel on the Kindle. It's really great, I feel like I'm watching / reading the greatest B-movie ever made. You guys should check it out.
To be fair, girls in Korea ages 19-22 practically live in PJs and baseball caps.
But anyway. Could see Chelsea go in for Cavani but of they do, Torres will be sold. Don't think he'd be happy to play second fiddle once again, at his age.
Vidal won't allow it! Krasic is the logical option for Zenit I guess. He's arguably more talented and suits their football.
Martinez is still a Juve player
(((It's not fashion. It's just a bunch of basics, but the quality belies the price. Uniqlo stuff doesn't look out of place alongside genuine designer gear.
What position does Vargas play again?

Quality is good and probably fits better than American clothes.

Yeah, but I remember him saying (it was probably his agent, at this point I'm not sure Krasic knows how to speak) there's no way he's going back to Russia. A fat check could probably change his mind though ...
I'll always remember him for this:
Winger
On June 27, 2012, Liverpool F.C agreed a fee with Bologna, in region £15million pending a medical. :lol I hate everything about wikipedia
Fiorentina's Juan Manuel Vargas
It's probably because Serie A teams, with a few exceptions, have no real money to spend. So they upped their scouting, following Udinese's lead.
Vargas is a strange one. He could've been a truly fantastic winger, but for some reason he's never been able to take that final step towards football greatness.
Yeah I figured it was something along these lines. Udinese, Bologna, Fiorentina and Parma all have some incredible players that they don't seem too intent to keep.

edit: some boring shit about Dirk Kuyt doing his medical and whatnot for fenerbahce. Wilbury should like this as you get to see him topless.

I really like ziegler. He cried his eyes out when fener lost the league. Class guy. I hope they work something out so he can stay and get that title. same with Yobo. Guy fucking loves the club and the country and wants to stay, but te clubs are messing about with transferring him. Terrible way to treat the guy.
LIVERPOOL FC look like being priced out of a move for Gylfi Sigurdsson after they refused to meet the players wild wage demands.
Tottenham Hotspur have moved into pole position to sign the Icelandic midfielder after they agreed to match his salary requests.
That figure is believed to be nearly 50% more than what the Reds were willing to offer.
Liverpool had held extensive talks with the 22-year-old and put together a generous deal for a player of Sigurdssons experience.
Quick Vote
Should Liverpool FC pay Gylfi Sigurdsson what he wants?
Yes, LFC need the player
13.8%
No, he should fit into the club's wage structure
86.2%
However it appears the club and player are divided in their valuation.
The Reds American owners, the Fenway Sports Group, are reluctant to hand out bumper contracts having been lumbered with the lavish deals which brought players such as Joe Cole to the club.
Manager Brendan Rodgers made no secret of his desire to bring Sigurdsson to Anfield having worked with him at Swansea City but Liverpool are understood to have baulked at his wage demands.
Spurs are believed to have had an £8m offer accepted by the players parent club Hoffenheim and though personal terms are still to be agreed, have privately expressed their confidence the deal will be complete by the end of the week.
Sigurdsson is expected to undergo a medical at White Hart Lane on Friday.
After it became clear Sigurdsson would be willing to U-turn on his proposed permanent move to Swansea, having spent last season on loan at the Liberty Stadium, Liverpool FC were immediately installed as front-runners for his signature.
It was believed that the prospect of working under Rodgers once more was the sole reason behind the Icelandic internationals change of heart over a transfer to the Swans, after he had agreed personal terms and the two clubs settled on a £6.8m fee.
But even with Rodgers showing his intent to bring him to Merseyside, Sigurdsson appears to have snubbed a move in search of a bigger financial package on offer at manager-less Spurs.
Liverpool, however, have not given up on the possibility of signing Sigurdsson but know Spurs are in the driving seat.

If all he's concerned about is money then I can't see any other outcome than Spurs signing him. Although it does make all this Swansea business look rather strange now.

I'm more erect than Hamsik's old hair
Fuck me I'm so hot in work. I'm just sitting here and I'm sweating Iike Ribery in a primary school
Maybe his support for United has something to do with. Can't blame him for snubbing us if that's the case.
Monday, I think. If there is any truth to the AVB rumour.

If Modric goes to Madrid, Fergie knows what to do.

Edit: ^^
I want that one back, it was awesome
So, some shops are already selling next season's shirts:
Home
Away
Probably CL
Don't really like them, although the home shirt looks better on a person than I thought.

The away kit looks good
Lol I'm in a meeting, I knew browsing this thread was a bad idea!Haha.
I think we've finally realised we shouldn't be paying more than we think a player is worth just because other clubs are willing to offer more. On a different note, another benefit is that the days of signing Cole and Jovanovic on £90,000 a week are (hopefully) over. The Echo reckons our wage package for Sigurdsson was generous, so Spurs must be paying him quite a bit.
If the rumours are correct that someone like Suarez is "only" on 65k a week then it wouldn't be right to pay someone who has had 6 good months in the PL 70k a week. I'm sure Liverpool would improve his contract if he shows he's capable of holding down a first team place.
Fair enough if Spurs have offered to double his wages ....he should go there.

Alderaan of Ajax said he wants to stay, so no Newcastle for him.
Alderaan, isn't that a planet from Star Wars? It's definetly not the player

I'd be happy with letting Ramsey go out on loan again. The problem last season is that he was put into the position Cesc played last season, and the fans knew he wasn't as good as Cesc there but Wenger persisted.
I think he will be best where Arteta now plays.

To be fair we had a central pairing of Kranjcar and Livermore, with Defoe up front on his own. Kaboul and Dawson were utter shit that day, all 3 goals were horrendous. I'm amazed we kept it at 0-0 for an hour.

Linked with a move away if Madrid land Modric.

lol.
We used to say that about a coworker, because he was clearly harbouring some dodginess when it came to younger girls.
We also used to call him Magic, after the basketball player. He though the nickname came because he was good at basketball, but the reality was that he managed to shit on the toilet rather in it. We named him Magic because of his "skills around the rim."
A thoroughly dirty wanker.
Best buy any club can make this season. Hulk has been consistently amazing for Porto.

In fact, our midfield was disgracefully unhindered in that game. Christ.

He didn't look effective against City at all over two legs. But he may have been having a off week or two.

Nasri has took to Twitter to say "there are too many untruths going around" and that it's "a personal matter between me and a few journalists. I will explain when the time comes".
Joan Angel Roman has apparently signed a 3 year contract with Barcelona.
Good luck to the lad, he's a real talent. Gutted if it's true.
Edit: confirmed on the players Twitter.
Says he will spend the next 3 years playing with BarcaB. He now has a €12M buy out clause in that contract.
