Well, do you trust the opinion of someone who supports the current CL winner.... ORRRRRRR.... do you trust the opinion of someone who supports the laughing stock of the transfer period.
Amazing.
Love it. Endlessly watchable. I don't ask for much from my comedies. Just to make me laugh and talk about dicks.

Gerrard and Agger are the only ones left who I genuinely think would rather help take us to the top than transfer there since Carragher retired. Maybe Lucas and Reina as well.
Superbad.
They might as well, they just missed out on Higuain. Suarez is worth only 25 million euroes to Real Madrid and Higuain's sale will help fund signing Gareth Bale. Though I would prefer De Rossi.
on the subject of bale, its seem the operation is under way.

Personally, I didn't find Superbad hugely funny, but I loved it because the characters were so likeable and relatable. Might rewatch tomorrow
As a Liverpool fan I've resigned myself to his leaving. There's no sadness on my part or even hope he'll change his mind. I just hope he goes quickly and that we get a lot of money for him.
His antics over the last few years bring a bad taste to the mouth and bring shame on the club. No matter what level of performance you get from a player, I don't think they should be allowed cart blanche to act like a scumbag, which he has repeatedly done.
The final straw for me being his agitating for a move this summer despite the loyalty Liverpool have shown him through all his troubles.
If he goes, I fully expect Brenty to smartly invest the cash and hopefully not having him around sulking and pining for a move is good for squad morale too

If he goes to Arsenal I honestly wouldn't even be that mad.
If he does we'll get a fucking packet in return, and honestly he's not really doing his career much good. Arsenal will continue to bubble at the surface of Champions League qualification, which is obviously a step up for Luis, but a world away from a club like Real Madrid, who he could've moved to if he'd waited.
Attached to quite a bit of the squad, Lucas, Kelly, even Downing a bit.
I feel like Suarez is an abusive relationship, though, and ultimately part of me fancies a release from that. Obviously that doesn't mean I wouldn't rather keep him, before some ingrate perceives it that way, just that I'm not totally shitridden if he skips to North London. I'll be able to clock him in Tesco after work and shake my head in dismay.
Please let this be true, I wouldn't give a shit anymore about a top striker.
Pretty much this but I still want to keep Benz
About fucking time cunt.

So it appears Michael Keane is the best finisher we have.
And Welbeck actually put his laces through a shot for once.
Just giving the local fans a show, that's all. (lolol)

You're not signing Bale this summer. Get over it.
Franco Baldini in Valencia:
Franco Baldini in Valencia:
You underestimate the desire of Florentino Perez. He is in fact, stupid enough to pay 100m pounds for an overrated welsh CR7 wannabe. in any case from what I am told, most likely not this summer. but surely before the end of the upcoming season.

Would Liverpool sell Suarez to Arsenal for £40m?
I seriously don't think they would, or should.
Unless he has that release clause, but it seems like he doesn't.

Bale is not good enough to play for Madrid imo. I really don't want him to come. Not now or ever. Saddens me that flo likes him.
I just use safari.
That's the sound of everyone laughing at you and dismissing your opinion.
Maxthlon browser or w/e its called.
My thoughts exactly.
lol wat? Be reasonable. He's probably the top5 players in the world.
IE10.
Safari-san
There aren't enough lols in the world.
Edit: Testing.. I think GAF now automatically adds an "edited" message to posts. Gonna see if it does or not or if that was a fluke.
Edit 2: Indeed it does. I wonder what the time limit is for "message free" editing. I dislike my posts getting dirtied up with it..

Yet you think Benz who's not even as good as Bale's left ball is? Please :lol

I've just looked at Tampa Bay Buccaneer's honours and achievements since Glazer took over. It's harrowing stuff and matches the prediction I made in my first post in this thread about how they'll continue with their stringent spending since it makes more financial sense to build a 'top four' (see: Arsenal) quality squad than a squad capable of winning the league and competing in Europe every season.
I've known for quite some time that the Glazers are hated almost as much by the Tampa Bay faithful as they are by United supporters, due to the lack of money they put into the team.
Malcom Glazer, 85, took over Tampa in 1995. The arrival of the Glazer family signalled instant success as the Florida-based side reached their first play-offs in fifteen years in the 1997 NFL season. They also got to the play-offs in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2007, reaching their zenith in 2002 as they capped off a truly memorable season by beating Oakland Raiders in the final, a match I stayed up to watch.
They haven't reached the play-offs since.
The Bucs enjoyed success with the Glazers in the early days, just like United have. It didn't last. They stopped investing in the Bucs and were just happy to be on the NFL gravy train. The NFL has a profit sharing system, meaning that the teams share the proceeds of the TV deals, NFL merchandise, etc. equally. Of course the fans aren't happy with the results on the pitch and they regularly boycott matches, resulting in blackouts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_(broadcasting)#NFL_blackout_policy) and their future under the Glazer family looks bleak.
I believe the same thing is going to happen to us.
We're fucking loaded. We could spend 80m on anyone. Ed Woodward was right. We could do it, yes, absolutely. The debt is manageable as fuck. There's nothing wrong with a bit of manageable debt in business. Sony being in debt didn't stop them from buying EMI for $2.2bn, Sony Ericsson for $1.5bn or Gaikai for $380m.
I'm going to support FC United and Charlton if we don't sign a top class player this summer. The forthrightness about the Fabregas bid leads me to believe they're
1. absolutely certain of securing the transfer of the Spanish international, 26,
or
2. It's PR.
We're not signing Fabregas.
tl;dr:

You underestimate the resolve of Tottenham Hotspur, who're under no obligation to lick Florentino's gooch.
How about an avatar bet to prove how much I think your source is talking out of his rectum?
If Real Madrid sign Bale in this window I'll adopt a Januzaj avatar until November 1st. If Real don't sign him then you must use a Suso avatar of my choosing until November 1st? Put your avatar where your mouth is.
No.
Clause doesn't exist. Club will demand Torres valuation as a baseline.
what a big fucking joke, Zaccardo + money for Paletta? :looooooool. Looking forward to see how good Paletta will do this coming season, guy was really good in the previous one.We even offered Zaccardo to Leonardi but he refused
Honestly it's posts like this that prove opinions can be unequivocally incorrect.

Zaccardo + 10m.
That's being generous
according to Galliani.
I agree, he had a really good season, especially when he scored that own goal during Milan-Parma
Seriously though, he's good.I look forward to seeing this not happen. And if it does, you aren't even a proper fan
<--Long-time Bucs fan. The Glazers absolutely TANKED us for many, many years in the late 2000s.. we were like $30m a year in salary under the "minimum" salary cap. They've started spending a little bit again recently but it's been a pretty ugly decade as a Bucs fan. This is why I kinda laugh at the high expectations of trophies and championships from soccer fans. Once in a lifetime is about what you can expect for your team unless you were born in LA, New York or Boston...
With that being said, I'm also an LA Dodgers fan and they've only won 1 championship in my life (1988). But if you like their (LA's) basketball team then you're set.

His source IS his own rectum.
