Milan is sinking, maybe. But Inter already sank

:lol reminds me of the 6-2 against Real Madrid, when Javier Garcia got subbed in, but his shirt read Gracia. How does that even happen to these huge clubs.
Deserved winners.. Yeas.. Played us off the park.. No. Not trying to take anything away from Everton, but every threat came from Fellaini and if we had done better to contain him, Everton would have been shut down.
And I still have no effin idea why Carrick was covering Fellaini.
The Guardian put up an article saying it's because Real doesn't want to include a buyout clause in cause he hits exceptional form.

doicare is ignoring the fact that the shot and possession numbers aren't indicative of the game as a whole. Everton played a bit of a dangerous game and were okay just sitting back in defense for the last 30 minutes of the match. It almost bit them but they were up to the task. Jagielka's clearance off the line was brilliant.

My co-worker when I was a graphic designer a few years ago once had a few thousand t-shirts printed up that said "SAN DIEGO STATE UNVERSITY"
Dyslexic fool didn't even know the difference between 'idea' and 'ideal' :lol
On the bright side, you have successfully performed the easiest trick for avoiding a ban when you've had a slip: Edit and a mea culpa.
I was just going to warn in any case, if they hadn't.
What is this......this......FILTH
More like the last remains of a broken dream. In 10 days, after he moves to Tottenham, it'll be Llorente's turn. We are unable to sign a goddamn striker, this is ridiculous. Even Milan managed to sign Pazzini, never mind the circumstances.
;_;
I'd still take him to be honest, Even if it was just on loan.
given more time and familiarity the passes will flow. Kagawa was one of the few positives from the match.
I cant believe how terrible Nani was, it was like he was there for the check
Pretty much this. It's surprising, but on the offensive side, our midfield was competent. Defensively... It's another story.
No movement up front and on the wings. Chicha would've been a great option up front today. Midfield would have created more chances IMO.
Would've loved to have Ki, exactly what we need. Swansea buying some good players
If he stayed he would have gotten 50% of his salary only at Samp but we came in and paid some of the money they owed Madrid on top of that just to take his ass and when he had his heart problem everyone waited for him and promised him a first team position when he returns and that he was an important part of the club.
What's so classless about that? It's true.
Also...in heaven?
I like that he's supporting Conte in court but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD go buy us a striker first. Your job is to BUY not be a fucking cheerleader. (although I would like to see that since we lost our BetClic cheerleaders now)
Think Giulia Bongiorno can play up front?
I think the problem is that Arsene has had his eye on Sahin for years and the club isn't looking at him as a "filler" signing to keep things ticking for another year. They want to buy him.
Real is looking at it differently - it was a loan to Feyenoord that kickstarted his career at Dortmund in the first place, and it could happen again for Real at Arsenal, and with Xabi getting on a bit in years and not signing a new contract, Sahin would be the best like-for-like replacement available to them for the time being.
Hands off.
I can see their point to be honest. I just hope it doesn't drag out for the rest of the window.
So he's off to Spain?
What?!
You better get used to that happening.
Time for PSG/Barca/Madrid to pounce

This rumour is obv not true. How on earth can City argue he isn't worth the same as their top earners.
A loan-to-buy is really bad business for the selling club, unless it's someone they absolutely want to get off the books, like we did with Aquilani and may do with Carroll. It puts the buying club at an advantage and they can surprise at the end by refusing to pay the agreed fee, or using loopholes to avoid activating the buy clause if it doesn't work out.
And in the case that the player hits really great form and would be of use once more to the sellers, they're left with their thumbs up their butts if the buyers want to keep them.
Last I read, the reported proposed buyout clause for Sahin's contract was 6m EURO. That's absolutely silly. Real has done some questionable business selling off talent for cheap, but... yeah not sure I have the breadth of vocabulary deep enough to explain how silly that money is.
He'll probably renew it eventually. Word is Mourinho wants to sign him for 2 years, which is the length of his remaining time at Real. Maybe Xabi wants a longer contract? Or maybe he wants to come home (need a mischievous giggle emoji)

I'd thought that was their stance all along? The rumour was that's why we were in for him, because we didn't try to force the buyout clause whereas Arsenal did, but then somehow it ended up that he was definitely going to Arsenal anyway. Not sure what's happened up to now to be honest.
He sure says a lot of shit. Now he's saying Kaka to Milan on friday. :/
Might explain his dreadful performance yesterday. That would be a big distraction undoubtedly.
If we turned down those monster bids from Madrid, we should be prepared to pay him and get it done.
We turned down Xabi. True story.
The boy needs closure, he's still dreaming about Italy's half empty stadiums and potato fields.
Like with Marotta, I'd prefer if she'd just stick to what she's being paid for.
TEN. MORE. DAYS. OF. AGONY.
Btw, I'm really, really, REALLY glad we kept Matri. He may not be exactly the striker this teams needs or deserves, but he's just rock solid.
That's what we did to avoid buying Aquilani HAHAHAHAHAHAH he had 3 or 4 matches left before we stopped playing him last season if I remember right.
I know it's not going to happen, but that glimps of hope for a return always ends up breaking my heart.
At least we genuinely wanted Aqua, but then Milan dumped Pirlo for free on our doorstep.
So TECHNICALLY, Milan screwed with Liverpool twice. Still bitter about 2005 eh?
<3
