It's the hope that kills you.
Eh, don't think this is his fault in the slightest.
This is Bilbao 101.
haha, can´t argue with that.

Why isn't Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission not on 3DS
3DS is not powerful enough to properly emulate GBA games, that's why they don't offer them on Virtual Console. Those Ambassador titles they gave away early on look absolutely hideous, really dim and with too much motion blur, because it's just the raw ROM that is not designed for anything other than a GBA (and the 3DS effectively becomes one, locking out any additional features).
Athletic are just dicking around, Herrera will be sold to United. They always do this.
Welcome to life without CL football.
DiMarzio seems to think Shaqiri is getting closer. His reps have been in the UK apparently to discuss terms.
Shame, but we will have other options if true.
As long as it isn't Bertrand, fuck that.
Bring me Rojo!
Would be a great signing. He could become pretty big if he gets the chance to play through a season. With Ribery out for months and Shaqiri gone, the way for Reus is open then.

I feel bad for Ander.

Can you actually reject a bid if it's over the amount of the buyout?
Why not just say we won't consider anything less than 32?
Idiots.
Ed- just fucking time wasters.

I'm gutted, there is a lack of real quality attacking left-backs around. The only ones I can think are at Moreno's level is probably Rodriguez or Shaw.
Is Rojo any good? If it's Bertrand I might jump off the Liver buildings.
Rodriguez and Shaq attack on the left hand side.
That Swiss combo.

I always forget how bizarre Shaqiri looks. His proportions are crazy.
Lad, Reus wants to play for a big team, not bavaria's "other" team. Villa and spurs would give him a shot in the big leagues i'm sure.

This is what Bilbao have done for pretty much every player they've sold in the last few years.

To be expected. Sounds like we thought it was closer than it was when the reports were emerging about us being within a day of signing him for £16m or whatever
Re: Herrera, massively overpaying for him, only team in for him, knowing full well what Atletico are like, no distraction of the World Cup, and you don't even get the deal agreed on paper before going through the latter stages of the transfer? What the fuck?
Starting to get annoyed by the train of thought that the World Cup is the biggest stage, so Suarez should be punished more harshly than he would otherwise.
Actions should be punished in the context of the player's record and severity of the incident itself, the number of people watching on TV shouldn't come into it. Doing it in League 2 should come with the same punishment as doing it at the WC imo.
Supposedly had a torrid time in Russia, but seems to have done very well in the Argentina national team, and at Sporting Lisbon. He's left sided and can play both LB and CB, and we all know how much we love utility players at Liverpool.
Quite frankly, I'm on board with anyone mad enough to go for a Rabona in their own box to clear the ball.

If we sign Bertrand I'm giving up on next season
Enrique's better than him, so he isn't even good enough to be our second choice imo

I bet Wooders is fuming as this is making him look stupid again. On the other hand, we must really want him to go through this shit again.

Err
It is stupid to try buying a player from Athletico who they don't want to sell, and not expect them to do this when you haven't got the paperwork done in advance.

Bilbao don't accept bids. They don't willingly sell their players. United have to get Herrera to break the contract through the LFP and apparently he's already handed the paper work in for that.
Did I see you fire up FM 2014 editor yesterday?
loooool, caught red handed
I'm sure that Villa and Spurs are upgrades for him on a competition level. Bavaria sadly has only one team though.
Same as Martinez?
So basically any1 willing to buy a player from Bilbao has to go directly to the player as it is useless going through bilbao since they wont accept bids.
Isnt that considered illegal?

I guess so yeah.
One of the reporters was saying we even offered to pay more than the release clause to them to smoothen it out but they still said no.
They don't care about the money. They're just not letting their players go and will do whatever's in their power to make sure of it.
Not in Spain.
One of the guys who broke the story said Herrera did it yesterday, but there was a "technical problem" which the LFP would need to look at before we can finalise the deal.
Gerrard, Can, Henderson, Allen, Coutinho plus one more should be enough, that's basically 2 midfields ready to go there.
I expect if we get him, Lallana will be the other midfield player, rather than a dedicated winger.
EDIT;
Problem are the taxes. Thats what Bayern Munich took so long to find a solution. If the player breaks his contract and goes to the leagues association, he has to pay the buyout clause himself. That money isnt taxed though, even if the club pays it, after tax has to be paid to the state. I dont know how Bayern handled the deal, because it was done by their lawyers and no info got public.

I think that in Spain release clauses are paid by players and the buying club give the money to the player to complete the club. The player is meant to buying himseld out of the contract.

Doubt it. Fernando been lined up for ages.

Thanks, I guess. I would take anything as long as it's not Bertrand or Rojo though. The following are players who would prefer at LB over them:
Enrique
Flanagan
Cissokho
Johnson
Ilori
Can
Sakho
Agger
Robinson
Smith
Aurelio in a wheelchair
Resigning Stewart Downing to play at LWB like he did for a few games
What's worst is that they would still be far better players than Konchesky and Dossena ever were at LB

You don't know anything m8 you thought Moyeseh would still be around.
My "do you need picking up in the morning pal? @anderherrera8" tweet is ready and waiting in my drafts.
Your slight against nurnburg won't be forgotten.
Well the Echo article does also say that the club still really want Moreno.
+ the president said just yesterday the deal is still on.
I fear we are getting Salah-ed.

This is true, but my knowledge of being burned in the transfer market is right up there. I was done the moment Remy's plane landed in London instead of Newcastle and he signed for QPR.
