Hmmmm.. goal.com... do I get excited yet?
I'd take it with a pinch of salt being Goal.com and all that.
If true, great deal for Swansea getting that.

Remember he gets 10% more of the cut after July, won't be surprised if it all resurfaces in a week.
Would much rather we got him thant RVP. Would be cheaper and can play CM too, last year of contract aswell.
Greg Stobart is the man.
Not looking forward to the new season given our lack of senior signings. :/
True, not going to get ahead of myself, but would be a fantastic deal if true. He's worth more than £10 million, but less than £15, so that's a good middle ground for both parties. Fully expect either, or both, Sterling and Shelvey to go on loan to Swansea too, which would also be excellent for us.
Allen's Swansea's best player, and he's perfect for the Rodgers system. £13.5 million is a compromise by both clubs, and a fantastic signing for us, if true.
United should've looked at Allen. Saying it now, you'll believe me the more you see him play.
Didn't know he was in his last year, can't believe more teams aren't in for him.

B grade? We finished two places higher than the European Champions. This ain't Liverpool we're talking about.
Anyway, Allen will be a great signing for 'Pool.

Great, I hope they sign him.
This is the last I'll be talking about Moura until it's confirmed that he's either signed for us or is staying at Sao Paolo. Can't take the muppetry anymore. From the Sky Sports website

Have fun!!!! Can't wait to hear about it!
What! Mountain Lion tomorrow!!! Great timing!
Don't believe that for a second. He keeps reeling you lot back in.
I was worse last year when United were in talks with Sneijder.
Trying to stop myself before I get as bad.
Fuck Moura. I don't want him. If we buy him for 30m, either we're selling him to Madrid in 5 years for 40m which goes into debts, or he flops and we sell him for 10m back to Brazil.
Can't for the life of me see why we're not making a fucking 20m bid for Witsel or Fellaini just to start proceedings off. If either go up to 25m, so fucking be it. Better than cumming 30m up the wall on an unproven teenager.

I think it's his last year anyway, not 100% sure will check it.
Allen is good. He is probably worth £8-£10m but £13.5 is okay. You have to pay over the odds in most cases these days and he is still young.
Would do well for Liverpool and help them keep possession well alongside Lucas.
Not sure about him for United. Might be proved wrong but I think we're okay keeping the ball really. Not sure if Allen can dominate games and be creative and incisive enough in the final third, which is what we're missing IMO (and a solid tackler/battler which Allen isn't really)...but I guess we will find out anyway.
Clegg I'll come down south and give you a good shake if you don't calm yourself down
Fellaini would cost too much IMO.

Fuck yeah @ Kuba signing a new contract.
Most of our key players are now contracted till 2016.
Only Lewandowski & Subotic are due to expire 2014.
But now that Kuba has signed a new one, Lewandowski might also decide to stay.

I liked how Ligue 1 was sort of untouched from the financial doping...
PSG will be fun to watch but I don't see how they don't dominate the entire league
Also Allen at 13.5 is a bit high...

No need.
I am now an ocean of calmness.
No more Brazilian wonderkid muppetry for me.

So what?
If Madrid do come in for him in 5 years it will mean he is a bloody good player and we will have had some great years from him...and then make a profit. That isn't a reason not to sign him.
Alot of people say that about players we're interested in these days and I don't understand it. We shouldn't worry about other clubs coming in for our players. If they do they do but it generally hasn't been a concern for us and if we ever sell it will be a deal which is good for us.
Sorry DC88, but the whole "creating portmanteaus out of days and players" is the worst thing I've ever seen, and I've seen Kill Bill*. "Kunday"? More like Kun- ah never mind.
*Kill Bill was pretty crap, but not the worst thing I've ever seen.
Arnie, I thought that was a very obvious troll.

Even for RAWK, I am sure that's a troll.
I really do hope so.

BTW, Dembele is now in final year of his contract and not yet committed to signing a new one.
I just get that feeling that he'll go abroad :\ would be a great signing though, plenty of room for negotiation at this stage of his contract if someone were to make a move.
As I said on the last page, they'll come back to United if the rumoured board pressure to sell is true. The board know United have put up a more than fair offer for him, just up to them to accept.
I'd do exactly as United have done, walk away and wait for them to get back to us.
I just don't see the point. He's done nothing deserving of a 30m price tag. I don't want him.
Please, please, please. Allen, Lucas, Aquilani. Of course when Gerrard's having a rest.
Fergie should lump on.
Random post as I totally should contribute more often, but West Ham's signings have been fairly solid so far this off season, but still need at least one quality central defender as Winston Reid + James Tomkins are going to get found out.
Also apparently West Ham offered a contract to Fernando Cavenaghi. :lol

Woah I forgot we play tmrw! Awesome! When is the game?
I'd really like us to sign him. He can play in several positions and would be a perfect "utility" man and he could go on to be a very good player too. Maybe we are waiting on him because in January we can approach him to sign on a free. I just hope he doesn't go elsewhere for a very cheap price because we will have missed out.
I agree he's not worth £30m.
Just don't think "he'll leave for Real" is a good reason for being against it, there are many others.
Yeah the rumoured price is crazy for him, there's no other words for it. Neymar could arguably command a big fee out of the two of them. The fact that we'll pay him 30k a week too when we wouldn't give Pogba a rise as Arnie said is puzzling.
Yes it was fueled by Pogba's agent but it would've worth a punt, even if we'd someone managed to meet in the middle.

Remember when Doicare said Cleverdick is the English Iniesta :lol :lol :lol
Ah I miss that crazy bastard.
Ah I miss that crazy bastard.
I want Lucas, I want him more than any other player we've been linked with. I honestly believe he has the potential to be the next "best in the world" kind of player. If he ends up somewhere else, I'll be gutted.
I'm a huge muppet, but I don't think Sir Alex will want to miss out on that kind of talent.

Has doicare been benched or is he simply out with an injury?

Lets have some real muppetry, a YouTube video from 6 years ago of Kerlon, the next Ronaldinho...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Yj7GoXPZw
This is what I think of when I think of Lucas, all talk and no career.

SAF obviously agrees because the only way you'd buy a 19 year old for £30 million is if you expected to sell them for double that further down the line.

including Jeff or not? because I'd be down... but I'd need an hour or two before I can set up all the paypal (and my fantasy team :lol) stuff to get home from work.
Just sent the money, Paypal verified today.Probably room for one more in the paid league

Just gotta sort out whether Kyle's in or not, and decide whether to have more than 20 people in the league.
In fact, if you're in the league already, are you for or against having more than 20 participants?
