Chevrolet deal worth £28m a year according to Mark Ogden.
£8 upgrade. Not bad - was hoping for more tbh but it's still the record sponsorship deal.

I'm slowly coming around to it.
Or I'm at least getting used to it.
DEBTS ARE GONE!

This should be everyone's avatar.
no. alex morgan needs to model that kit in a sexy way before our avies change.
Er... the only way she could make a United kit look sexy is on the ground next to her.
:lol :lol
Maybe body painted with each kit?
:lol
This would also be acceptable.

Again. Hurling obscenities into a camera or spouting racist dialogue sets a worse example than swearing on the pitch or having a dig at a philanderer about being a philanderer. It's about setting precedent on what's kosher behaviour and enforcing that desired atmosphere. The real issue here is that people react to being called out on racism or sexism or homophobia like 13 year old boys do about masturbating. We just have to admit that while most people are biased and flawed, a higher standard should be set in public spaces, like a game that a fair portion of the world tends to watch.
The thing that bothers me most about the John Terry case is that it was caught by a viewer at home, not by the victim, and JT even went in very un-JT-like to clear the air with Anton after the game. I'm not saying that calling someone a "black JT" is excusable, but it just seems rather strange the way the whole thing developed from the onset.
Was reported by a policeman wasn't it?
Well of the three cases so far where charges have been made, none of them have been as cut and dry as "he said x to me with racist intent". It's been an interesting case study to say the least.

It's like a beautiful pearl sticking out of a warm bucket of shit.
Yeah, it was an off duty officer watching it on TV.
No thanks, I'll stick to my Phil Jones avatar.

This is now what the thread is about. Can't be worse than average looking women footballers and racism charges. Wil?
I've been trying to set up a mass FootyGAF wankathon for ages now, with all proceeds going to United's transfer budget. Would be great, we could see Fady fudding his bottom like a champion while trying to sing a chant for every one of his favourite teams.

A different take on multi-post, for sure.

I completely disagree, I'm not going to talk about JT because we all know why he in particular has been charged.
It's not about Anton calling JT a "philanderer" either, I just mentioned that he happened to say it. To me, Anton's well documented use of language is no worse than what Rooney did. If Rooney says fuck and the public no nothing of it, it goes by unpunished, as it should. The only reason he did get punished was because it was out there for all to see. Well in this case, so is Anton throwing the C word about.
So I don't for a minute think that every player using bad language should be punished. I do however, think in cases like this, if the FA are going to take action they should take action against both parties. That's not to say that what Anton admitted to saying is on par with what JT admitted to saying (given the context). But the FA, should they take action, which they are, should be saying that you can't use abhorrent racist language, but also can't conduct yourself in this manner either. If they don't, then I can't see why the likes of Rooney wasn't given any more than a slap on the wrists and told not to do it again.
Not that it's worth anything, but I don't think the FA should of dragged this up again post court. But if they are going to, then make an example of the whole situation. Also, Rio being stupid aside, his is another situation I think should be left alone. Ashley Cole came out and said there was no harm done. That should of been the end of it.
Agger's worth more than 15m if Silva's going for 45m and Terry to City a few years back was going to be 40m.
If I could take one Liverpool player it would be a throw up between Agger and Lucas.
Injury prone glue sniffer. You don't want him.
I doubt he'd be let go for less than £18-20m.
He's worth more than 20m.

Glass legs and back, ugly tattoos, former Brøndby JT, extremely big boobs,
glue sniffer
scouse prices are inflated these days
apparently 20m including the add-ons
He's probably my favorite player at Liverpool, unfortunately I can't see him staying if that rumour turns out to be true. It takes the most loyal players to refuse an offer like this, and even though I think he's one of them, he's in the exactly period of his career to take a step up, because it might be the only shot he's got.
Would not buy, but would bang.

Who is worth more than 10 million to you from their squad?
EDIT: I should clarify that I'm speaking from a smart business sense, not a Kenny Dalglish sense. I would buy every British player for 50 million if I was in the Kenny Dalglish mind set.

Agger better than Piqué? Not sure. Pique was poor last season but he is very good. Agger could be in the same class as Vidic, Kompany, Piqué, Thiago Silva etc...he has the tools to be and on top is very good on the ball, but for some reason he just hasn't got there yet, be it injuries or whatever else. Skrtel was actually the better player in the partnership last year for me.
Anyhow, a price would be based on what he's worth to Liverpool and I'd say they would want close to £20m to sell him right now.

This article claims that Charlie Adam attempted 62 tackles last season, 58 of which were fouls. Surely that can't be true? He's shit but he can't be that shit.
I think about 30 of them came on the opening day of the season when all he did was foul Cattermole.
Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Suarez, and Carroll (at his age has the potential to be very effective. 10m is a fair price for him). Maybe Johnson as well.
I think Pique's great and two years ago I would have said he was the best in the world along with Vidic, but considering how poor he was last year and how much Agger stepped it up I'll say Agger's better for now.
Actually, yes. Squirtle is worth that and more. He's quality.
Carroll though, nope. He still has to prove he can hang in the PL. Last season was utter garbage.
Suarez would be valued conservatively at 30 million, for a start.
Jose Enrique, Glen Johnson, Jordan Henderson, Fabio Borini, Lucas, Andy Carroll, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Pepe Reina
:lol He's out-scholesing Paul Scholes.
