England's 3 minutes must be Wilshere. USA are up and coming after all their talk about other countries.

Brazil with the most injuries but get up the fastest I guess.


Great forum, but never bothered to join, worth signing up?

Well I'll be spending 400 dollars for a Dota 2 item so I win.

Or lose.

I don't know anymore.

Why would you do that to yourself?


You could go on holiday with that money, buy a great escort or ten bad ones, do skydiving, buy an Oculus Rift v2, buy a good suit and pretend to be someone important, stay for a night in a great hotel and trash it, get 400 $1 bills and run into the middle of a busy street to throw it up in the air. Buy a good webcam and mic and set up a webpage or youtube channel to talk about how great Justin Bieber is, dat steady ad revenue.





Stay with us wood, just had some water with my coffee. Should be coming to life soon.

Just lodge some fresh bets. I'll post my winnings with a Wenger celebrating gif in a few days.

Parlay Prince, striking since 6/26/2014. The legacy tour.

If there is certain thread/crew you want to join/follow yes. You don't really have to join if you just want to read the epic threads. I joined GAF to post in just this thread because I was impressed with the OP, I liked the graphics and supporters list. I copied some of it when It was my turn to start the misc official football thread a year ago. That thread has a lot of in fighting between posters not much football knowledge like this thread.
 
That Asamoah cross is ludicrous

How do you accurately curl a ball with the outside of your boot when it's rolling away from you? Yurt pls. Bring him to me.

So a few papers are reporting we are making a £30m bid for Vidal, no way we get him fro that right?

With Shaw and Herrera done all we need is a CB and another CM we will be set for the next year. Would prefer a winger too but dont think we will get one as we will have Rooney, Shinji, Mata, Valencia fighting for those spots.

Nani and Young too.
 
I wonder how much pressure sponsors of LFC are putting on LFC to get rid of Suarez, as there is a lot of money at stake here :/ as well as LFCs reputation

Personal sponsors probably are putting more pressure. I was all swept up in the hype of Suarez being sold etc but honestly, this will pass and calm down and if he plays like he did last year, in 6 months this will all be history. Football is just this sort of game really, rememebr Liverpool sponsors are getting more exposure next year because of the CL thanks to Suarez. The only thing that will stick this time is that no-one will believe he wont do it again, its just in him, wehther its a year from now or two its very likely he will slip up.

Not that simple though really

The personal sponsors will be livid

The club sponsors would likely just want what gets the club most exposure, bought about by having games on TV. If they consider Suarez a vital component to remaining in the CL and increasing our presence, they'll be able to live with him staying




People who use laser pens at matches should have an eye gouged out

I cant imagine they'd be pleased with this though, they are associated with LFC and LFCs biggest known player just did that for all the world to see. We all know how quickly sponsors drop someone when they make a mistake, if they arent dropping LFC I would expect re negotiations less favourable to LFC. This may even put off future sponsors etc as well.

I think selling would be a better safe than sorry approach.

It's not worth worrying about tbh

If there's a threat of them dropping their deals, they'll inform us to give us a chance to sell him before it happens. They're not gonna keep quiet til September 1st and go 'oh shit, Suarez is still there? ABORT, ABORT'

I expect if they are applying pressure to sell, its now.

"888poker signed Luis Suarez following a fantastic season for which his achievements were widely recognised.

"Regrettably, following his actions during Uruguay’s World Cup match against Italy on Tuesday, 888poker has decided to terminate its relationship with Luis Suarez with immediate effect."

Just like the media, they have an agenda.

Mata, Rooney, Shinji shouldn't be playing as wingers.

60fps vids on YouTube will be so good.

Also, congrats on the Herrera signing, Utd-GAF. Will improve your midfield tenfold.

Strange the amount of goodwill Unites getting for this signing, not since Kagawa have we been so written about as buying a "Gem" of a player. Lets hope that works out a little better than he did. I still hold out hope for Shinji, but after the WC, the seasons he has had, maybe he doesnt have it in him anymore.

Please, that fucking maniac is putting more eyes on Warrior, Adidas and Standard Chartered than anything else the club has achieved in years.

They'll condemn his actions in public, but are loving the attention this is drawing for their brands.

Hey, if they're still happy to meet his release clause, that's fine by me.

So genuine question, say you do sell Suarez, whats the realistic scenario going forward in the window? Lets say you get £85m for him. Obviously you need a striker.

With who you are linked with would you rate your team higher or lower?

We'll never replicate him like for like, but it's possible the team could be more balanced in his absence. If we sold Suarez and brought in Sanchez, and used whatever we had left over for rebuilding the defence, we could be a lot stronger.

i've been told my transfer hope is a wild dream but here goes

Selling

Suarez to Barca, get Sanchez and money (30+ estimate)
Lucas
Johnson
Allen
Aspas
Reina
Agger (maybe)


Buy

Sanchez (as menttioned above)
Javi Martinez (I hope we do)
Shaqiri
Moreno
a right back (rumour is Micah Richards)
Lovren (I would prefer Varane, but that would be hard to do)
maybe another forward (Sanchez can play as a FW)


so i'd take a decent offer for him

Wouldn't be surprise if they tried to get him for cheaper now.

Make sure you get every penny he's worth.

I don't think we'll sell him on the cheap. More likely if we don't get a good offer for him then we'll hold out until next summer.

It's not like he'll be able to force a move through now.

EDIT:

@Zizouology: SPORT say Barça's €40M bid for Marquinhos has been rejected. PSG are now not willing to negotiate. Same happened with Thiago Silva. Crazy!

Barca-GAF, you want Agger? Agger plus £20m for Sanchez maybe?

then use Suarez as leverage to get Varane from Real? I like that idea

Mail thinks Suarez fee has plummeted to 50m :|
 
So a few papers are reporting we are making a £30m bid for Vidal, no way we get him fro that right?
We're not getting Vidal full stop. It'll cost at least £45m, and Juve won't sell him unless they can someone else that they want in, like Sanchez, and I don't know how easily they can pull that off, and then everyone else will want Vidal and he'd have to pick us.

Does Suarez want out of LFC though? Because there's really no amount of money that can replace his production from last year. There's also no one else available in the market.
