Dave Kitson has left Portsmouth, so now they only have two players left that they need to convince to leave by August 10th - Liam Lawrence and Tal Ben Haim.

Why they won't leave I don't know. Get some money, or send the club into liquidation and get nothing. It's not a difficult decision, surely.

Being the massive transfer muppet I am, I went onto an Inter Milan forum called ForzaInter.

Every single fucking post was punctuated with meme faces.

Fucking hell.

Why would you do that to yourself. The merda mustve been overflowing.

 

[Clegg]

Clegg, I guess you've been receiving Tom Waits email too right? What do you think, is a world tour heading our way? Mysterious man he is.

I think he'll be touring soon.

But who could actually tell whats going on in that mans head?

 

[Broder Salsa]

In my mind, Inter fans operate on a similar level to Sonic fans.

You think there's fan art of a pregnant Zanetti out there?

 

[K1LLER7]

Holy shit Women's basketball so good.

77-77 France vs GB

0.2 seconds left and France get a 3 pointer. Making it 80-77. GB shoot just after the buzzer goes off, 3 pointer ball goes in but it's not given.

Manchester United reveal details of Chevy shirt deal. It's big. By the time it ends in 2021 United will have banked approximatley $559 m.

Reminder that GM's marketing director resigned after this dela was completed. Blows every other sponsorship deal out of the water.

Chevy will pay $70.0 million in first season, and an additional 2.1% each season. Additional $18.6 million in fees over next two seasons

Come on then UEFA. Investigate that. A shirt deal, or a campus.

How on earth did they convince Chevrolet to agree to that? Obviously the rest of their board was wondering the same thing.

Even if there was something dodgy about it, UEFA most likely won't do anything. It's United. If they were banned from the Champions League the sponsors would be outraged. Things will just continue as they are on the FFP subject I reckon.

Haha! I'm branching out! I wonder if United have any vacancies. I can be like Sam Fisher, a Double Agent. Or would that be a bad thing?

 

[Clegg]

They are questioning the shirt deal because Etihad have ties to Citys owners.

Its perfectly logical that UEFA would want to investigate the deal.

I always thought the problem with the City deal was that they were taking money from their own company and putting it into City.

 

[pulga]

Lol at a City fan wanting UEFA to follow another club's paper trail.

 

[LegoArmo]

United are the biggest sports team in the world, City are that other team from Manchester. It's like comparing Everton to Liverpool, but an even wider gap.

 

[Clegg]

We'll need to use that 70m up front payment to pay down the debt. The yearly installments could then conceivably be used to cover the interest payments while United use other revenues to pay down more of the debt.

This won't happen though. The Glazers will pocket it all for themselves.

 

[Jensen]

Damn right I am! Turning this -

They are questioning the suspect sponsorship deals City are making to make those £100m+ operating losses irrelevant. Not sure why they should question United's...

 

[Yurt]

Hehehe what a brilliant deal.

There's nothing more to it if Chevy decided to give them that amount of money.

I was fully expecting us to pull something like this with the Jeep deal, but we didn't

 

[LegoArmo]

When are the Nike and Champions League TV deals up for renewal? Soon, I hear.

Really positive news, I await the negative spin.

Bias aside, probably my favourite person in football. Intelligent, well-spoken, good taste, respectful, beautiful to watch, mentally strong, calm and collected, and I wouldn't say no if he wanted to bum me.

Why they won't leave I don't know. Get some money, or send the club into liquidation and get nothing. It's not a difficult decision, surely.

To be fair, by all accounts Lawrence was one of the players generally co-operating with regards to concessions on his contract and trying to help the club. It was the likes of Kitson and Ben Haim - who is still commanding a £36k a week contract - who were holding the club to ransom, but thankfully Kitson has gone now.

Not sure why Lawrence is still there. You never really know what agents are trying to engineer. I'd have him at Hillsborough in a heartbeat if the wages were right but I suspect the fact he's not moved back to The Championship yet suggests they're not.

 

[LegoArmo]

Lawrence was linked with Celtic a couple of seasons ago, I think he demanded pretty big wages back then, or so was the rumour.

RVP's last major Injury was caused by Chiellini.

“I think I will stay here for another year. I don’t know what is happening.

“I haven’t spoken to anyone. I am very happy here, basically I want to stay another year. I will focus on FC Twente. Nobody knows anything about Newcastle United.

“I have not heard anything. The club haven’t either.”

- Douglas

Guess that deal won't be happening either (I know he would still stay until the end of the month but the whole thing has gone dead).

Shit even the Summer where we signed wanksters like Xisco was more productive than this window. Worst Newcastle window ever.

On more positive news, the new home NUFC shirt is available for preorder on the official site. Though it's priced ridiculously high for shirt standards. Will wait for Sports Direct.

 

[LegoArmo]

Why isn't Sports Direct your official store?

 

[Carbonox]

Why isn't Sports Direct your official store?

You know, they really could incorporate Sports Direct in to the retail portion of NUFC's site. It would be so much better and more intuitive. The current store on NUFC.co.uk is like 90's level of horrible. Terrible design, navigation, the lot. Looks like a Geocities site.

Do Newcastle know how to sign players? LOL

No, but at least we know how to keep hold of our best players.

Yeh but Man Utd are one of if not the biggest football teams in the world, commercially and otherwise speaking. Them pulling off a record deal like that isn't a shock (imo).

Its a lot of money but not one from a company owned by a Glazer brother...

 

[Lightning]

No, but at least we know how to keep hold of our best players.

Easier to do when your best is not good enough.

With Cazorla coming in we are in a much better position this season than last season regardless of when RVP goes.

Couple of signings and you're suddenly in the running for some actual silverware? Say it ain't so! The mighty Arsenal have returned!

Big change in attitude when from last month when you were so depressed that RVP was shipping off.

I never said that. I said we were in a better position than last season and I'm still kind of bummed that RVP's leaving but Wenger's actually signing proven talent this window so it's bringing about a lot of excitement. The biggest concern I had with RVP leaving is that we could do a Fabregas/Nasri where we never signed a replacement for them but with Podolski and Giroud that more than compensates for the loss of RVP and Cazorla provides creative spark and control.

Better position than last season. More improvement is required but we're heading in the right direction imo.

Liverpool Football Club can today confirm that Alberto Aquilani has completed a permanent transfer to Serie A side Fiorentina.

The Italian midfielder joined Liverpool in 2009 but made just 28 first-team appearances having spent the last two seasons on loan in his homeland.

Everyone at the club would like to wish Alberto all the best for the future.

I lol'd. usually when someone leaves, there's a wall of text. Shows you what a great signing he was. (I'm sorry we stole a few years from your career. )

We really need to know what the hell we are doing when we sign players and not just panic buy.

 

[Lightning]

he is doing alright according to Wenger and no I don't think he is back for the start of the season.

Nothing better to do with my Friday night than listen to the ukulele orchestra of GB.

Also from the Gaming side, anyone else find the attributes of the poster with this game slightly disturbing?
