It's pretty obvious that the tweet refers to Vermaelen, now you mention it.

 

[elsk]

Pachuca's nickname. And I guess they are paying 30% of his salary or something?

Shit's weird. The player doesn't actually have an agent, so all negotiations have been between the clubs.

Nope, 70% means Pachuca is getting the 30% if Manchester United sells him later. Or they are just doing that to let ManU know that they want more money to completely sell the player.

The nickname of Pachuca is Tuzos (Gophers not moles?) so I take it to mean that they were only prepared to sell 70% of the player's ownership rights. As a result, Man Utd have upped their offer to 13.5m.

This is just what I gather from that quote, though. Is this "ownership rights" business common practice in the Central/South American leagues? I'm familiar with the co-ownership policies in Serie A, is this a similar scenario?

Yes, very common.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Yeah I'd say so.

I'm confused, what was the Valencia thing about?

It's pretty obvious that the tweet refers to Vermaelen, now you mention it.

Kees Vos is Van Persie's agent as well I believe.

[Salazar]

I don't feel like we'll go for that. If you sell us a player, you sell us the goddamn player.

Pfft, all rodents look the same to me.

 

[K1LLER7]

Think we'll get him, We seemed to have up'd the interest since Liverpool were apparently keen to sign him and other clubs noticed his performances at the Olympics.

He'll follow the legends to Arsenal.

Chamakh isn't enough.

Seriously, has nobody bid for him?

Ah ok

So AFCAMDEN is saying be wary of the relation ship between Darren Dein and Kees Vos. I think there were already rumours this summer about Vermaelen joining Barcelona.

edit: Yeah it was Kees Vos who tweeted that photo of Vermaelen and Pique.

It's enough to make me very nervous if the Song stuff is true.

It should make you more nervous that he's been given the captaincy. The captain's armband at Arsenal is basically a "for sale" sign.

The fact that he was apparently being shopped around Europe regardless of contract situation does me me very nervous.

 

[Arnie]

Well, that kind of backfired. At first it was a nod to United fans that Valencia was potentially off, and now we've deduced that it was actually a red flag that Arsenal's new captain is off to Barcelona. Pretty great revelation.

David Conn on City, football, money. I should really get the man's book. Writes well.

Yep, Neymar missed a penalty

 

[xintin]

watching a replay of Braga/Udinese. Didn't know Braga's stadium is actually carved into a quarry. It's awesome, I want to see this in a future FIFA title.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

The league that matters

Wait, is this the betting league? I had Hazard as captain so got a shit ton of points but did not expect 1st after week 1!

 

[Mumei]

Finishing up Barcelona vs Real Sociedad, then finishing Celtic, then watching Barcelona vs Real Madrid on 11-29-2011.

Man, watching Universidad de Chile playing is a pleasure. A shame they have to risk so much in the defense.

I think you mean 29/11/2010 not 2011. The amazing display from Barca in that clasico. Searching for your date comes up with Barca vs Rayo Vallecano.

Pfff... Barcelona vs. RM? that's amateurs stuff. If you want the best match of the last years: Universidad de Chile vs. Boca Juniors (2nd leg, 21.06.2012). Best match I've ever watched.

hey what's wrong with enjoying Twilight? It's not exactly an Oscar caliber movie but it's better than FFXIII's plot ok

I don't consider it cheating. I think K-Stew was R-Patt's beard. So publicly he is outraged, but really it just means he needs to find a new beard.

Hahaha, brilliant.

edit: damn your edit!

Haha I know.

I'm just a sucker for anything with romance + vampires. I did watch 4 seasons of True Blood (season 4 was awful ugh).

Basically I can enjoy anything that isn't named FFXIII.

Chile is the closest you'll get to Europe quality in South America. They're almost a developed country.

You don't like Vampires? Not even Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles?

NOT EVEN ANGEL + BUFFY ????!!

 

[LegoArmo]

Buffy and Angel are brilliant, but it's not because of the vampires. That show could be about carpet fitters and I'd still love it.

Seems like I missed a good match earlier between Chelsea and Reading.

Sam Wallace said Adam Johnson favours a move to Spurs over the two Merseyside clubs or Sunderland. I don't think we would be a good fit for him, personally and professionally.
