The first sentence was supposed to be sarcastic, but I guess it doesn't work with text. Just don't know why Rooney was singled out for praise when everyone seems to be played out of position. Rooney is almost always exactly where he wants to be.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, he is in Miami at the moment preparing for a world cup. Other things are on his mind than forcing it through. Especially makes it difficult considering it has been reported that Southampton are ignoring his calls.
Then you don't need Suarez, and more importantly, Suarez won't leave to play second fiddle.
Earlier on in the transfer reporting it was said that a priority for Can was ensuring he got playing time at Liverpool.
Somehow can't see RM appeasing him if that's the case.

Why would Real want Emre Can? To do what? Trim beards?

My views are the same as Feorax's, if Lallana wants to come to Liverpool he needs to put in a transfer request forfeiting his loyalty bonus to show he actually wants to play for us and not just get more cash. I like Lallana as a player, but his attitude is pretty poor right now, Lambert did all he could to join us and he helped us sign him in just a few days. I don't like it when players use informal means to put pressure on the club to sell, like Feorax said, Suarez did it last year and he just came across as someone who wants more money and not much more.
Lambert is 32 years old, isn't a starting player for Southampton every week and isn't their captain and best player, either. He also wasn't a hot property with several clubs bidding for him. He turned down every offer he had until we came in. There's a world of difference there between the two players and their situations with Southampton.
I don't think we know enough about what's going on to begrudge Lallana, or any of the parties involved really. Everyone is looking out for their own best interests - Liverpool included.
Oh ok. That makes sense. Although it could very well be to get him up to full match fitness. Also, I would like to see England give the 433 formation a try.
Interesting. Vidic left because of Moyes?
I think you mean pounds. Converts to 36m euro, before factoring in the other fees. I think when it's all added up it comes to like 50m. Then you convert it and it's 60m euro.
Well presumably Khedira and Casemiro will leave. I guess if they do want Can then he will take the place of those two.
I think most reasonable fans won't expect a footballer with no affiliation to a club to stick around forever, they just need to go about leaving in the right way.
The decent thing is for a player to let a club know he's leaving, keep playing well and then when it comes to it submit a transfer request if necessary (Alonso and Arbeloa both did that as far as I know), it seems everyone at Southampton has similar feelings with Lambert too
Its when players sulk/start playing badly/making themselves the victim that it becomes a turn off, Suarez behaved like a dick last summer and would have got more hate if wasn't playing so well. People hate Torres too because he sulked around for 6 months playing like crap, and then pulled his finger out the moment the transfer window comes round, before submitting a transfer request right at the end of it. Similar with Mascheranos refusal to play against City when he wanted out too
Lallana signing the shirt isn't that big a deal imo, but if hes pissing everyone at the club off and doing everything he can to leave up until submitting a transfer request then it is a bit off putting.
Saying that, I'm a massive hypocrite, so would probably be totally ok with it if it was someone younger/better/cheaper than Lallana

I'm really sure it's around €35 million. It's our most expensive Spanish signing but no way above €40 million.
I'm pretty sure we are negotiating a contract extension for Khedira.
Casemiro and Morata are the guys on the way out, and then probably a Ozil-like sale as well if we get Suarez.
Could be Pepe or Marcelo but those 2 can't bring in €30 million per player.

Never really studied the World Cup brackets to see when teams from different groups would meet.
The USA and England would only face each other in the semis. Get in!
From Bleacher Report btw.

Do it Arsene. Reunite him with his friend Mesut!
Pls don't attack him
Third place matches tend to be fun in the world cup. Less on the line but still bragging rights to play for. They're less cagey and more exciting. Uruguay v Germany was great in 2010.
God Spain was incredible then in the most boring fucking way. Like an Anderson Silva fight.

What happened?
LOL. I could swear thats the same article posted a year ago and the year before that. Typical Bild summer bullshit.
As a Madrid fan, you're not allowed to call anyone muppets. Your whole club is a giant fucking muppet.

We should keep all our XI players and purchase Rakitic. If Jese starts next year with another fantastic season we wouldn't need Morata.
I don't really want Suarez, don't see him fitting in personality wise.

We failed in group stage against England and Romania... Truly killer.

Anyone know where I can get replica football shirts for not ridiculous prices?
Don't ask me.
All of the coaches have rated him highly, especially because of his tactical awareness and positioning.
