Support NeoGAF

[Hixx]

Waking up with a gut full of anxiety is the worst. Such a weird sense... what a horrible morning.

In somewhat nicer news I received this morning, Don Vito 2 year extension!

We loveth the Don, we do.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

It'll be good when Herrera turns into Anderson MKII.

 

[ElyrionX]

Pretty excited.

According to the 10 articles i read yesterday on how hes one of the best prospects in Spain, extremely. I went from having no idea who he is to full muppet mode in the space of 2 days.

I stopped going full muppet mode after footygaf got me excited about Kagawa.

 

[Labadal]

I think Hererra is a real cunt. Only Liverpool players are supposed to lean like that.

Chiellini on Suarez: “The ban is excessive, no anger inside of me, only disappointment for the loss"

 

[operon]

What happened when Tevez went walkies?

Tevez hadn't been banned for 9 international matches and four months of football activity.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Chiellini on Suarez: “The ban is excessive, no anger inside of me, only disappointment for the loss"

that clears the way for Suarez to Juve then so about Vidal and Llorente?

I thought there was some lean in that picture

 

[Linius]

If Defour repeats his tackle from yesterday two times more in his career, will he banned for 9 international games and four months?

 

[ShogunDarius]

I think Hererra is a real cunt. Only Liverpool players are supposed to lean like that.

did someone trick him saying the red team is the biggest in the world and they have that lean, and then said Man U instead of LFC?

Luke luke luke luke Shawwww luuuukkkeeee shawwwwwww luke shawwww-awwww-awwww

Where is the official announcement. Why are we waiting why are we waiting?

 

[3Sixty]

I know everything i now say on Shaw will be seen as bitter but fucking hell £30m.

I can't get over it

A lot of money, yes. But they're not in the CL, so they have to overpay.

 

[ElyrionX]

I haven't been keeping up with transfer news but wasn't Luke Shaw supposed to join one of the other big clubs?

 

[3Sixty]

A sidestep this early in his career. What an error.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

I guess no one else wanted to pay 30mil. It's a great piece of business for Southampton.

Lol enjoy making remarks like this while you still can.

 

[KidA Seven]

Is Cowboy Bebop worth a watch, or has it aged badly?

Spoiler

I've never looked into it as I assumed it'd be rubbish because of the name

It's good, but watch until episode 5 before you decide to continue or to bin it. Episode 5 is the real story that has continuation and the same story pops up throughout the series. A lot of the episodes are stand alone and only serve as a tool to get to know the characters.

By United too coz they have cock blocked liverpool from signing Lallana.
Southampton really have no reason to sell Lallana and they can be in the controlling position in that negotiation.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Baggio? Fuck off I am hoping that is just silly talk

 

[Wilbur]

So what was Gael Monfils up to yday?

Just being Monfils, lol

 

[Feorax]

They already were.

It changes very little really. We still have to meet a price Southampton are happy with, and I doubt that will be significantly more than it was prior to the Shaw sale. They didn't need to sell before, and they don't now.

Seems to me like Southampton were in the controlling position anyway, this Shaw stuff makes no difference at all.

 

[Hixx]

First day in a while I actually wish there was football on and it's the first day in two weeks with none on. Typical.

 

[D_prOdigy]

*throws dollar bills*

 

[pappe]

If they really didnt need to sell before then why were they letting all their top players talk to other clubs?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

If they really didnt need to sell before then why were they letting all their top players talk to other clubs?

It's not like they could stop them.

 

[Hixx]

If they really didnt need to sell before then why were they letting all their top players talk to other clubs?

Because its 2014 and if a player wants to move he's going to get it.

were these reports written by United fans? One of the best prospects looooool hes friggin 25 already

 

[3Sixty]

We didn't 'let' anyone talk to anyone.

Tapping up is tapping up.

 

[raiot]

What happened to blablurn?

 

[FlutterPuffs]

So what? In Football Manager 2014 you can boost a players potential by one star in just a year!

Spoiler

Yes I'm kidding, by the way I played FM yesterday and his potential was set to around 3 1/2 stars

 

[Feorax]

If they really didnt need to sell before then why were they letting all their top players talk to other clubs?

Because they were happy to do business with any club that would offer silly money for their players.

Shaw is silly money. Lallana is silly money (if the asking price is met).

If Southampton get £60m for those two, they'd be stupid not to sell, whether they needed to or not. That's a big building block right there towards building a squad that could be around the Europa/Champions League places if invested wisely.

moyes to manage galatasaray

 

[3Sixty]

Bruno Martins Indi, Ricardo Rodriquez, Tadic, Pelle hype bus.

 

[jesalr]

Metro are linking us with Bakalli. He becomes incredible in FIFA, so here's hoping

 

[Hixx]

Burnley have signed Michael Kightley. Close to signing Marvin Sordell.

Erm...

Oh gawd, my buddy at work supports them. This will be funny.

 

[K1LLER7]

Cristiano Ronaldo found a 15-year-old boy had broken into his room at Portugal's World Cup base in Brasilia, Brazil, according to a report in Brazil.

Ronaldo is on his way home from the tournament after Portugal's elimination in the group stage. But, as per Globo Esporte (Portuguese, h/t 101 Great Goals) he got a shock to find that a boy by the name of Yago Leal had managed to evade security and reach his room. A photo of Ronaldo as snapped by the boy from the balcony has subsequently gone viral.

Ronaldo, it seems, kept his cool—and allowed the boy to escape without involving the police—but the incident raises questions about security and safety.

As per the English report:

Once inside the room, Leal took a rest on Ronaldo’s bed because, as he said, “he knew he had laid on it”.

Incredibly the teenager was caught in the act by Ronaldo himself, but rather than turning the boy into police for trespass, Ronaldo is said to have told the boy he wouldn’t called the cops, and moreover, he allowed Leal to snap a photo of him as he escaped the exact way he got in.

Just saw this too.

 

[Wilbur]

that cant be true

 

[FlutterPuffs]

.

Either Ronaldo has one of the best PR people football has seen or he's the reincarnation of Jesus.

 

[Hixx]

He's being interviewed for it, don't think the story is that he's definitely got the job.

 

[LTWheels]

I would rather have Shaqiri than Lallana.

Would be cheaper.

 

[Wilbur]

holy shit he's in istanbul

hahahahah brilliant

Never would have been interviewed for the job if he hadn't been at United, so we've done him a favour really. Mancini and Moyes in a row, that's absolutely fucking jokes

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Moyes will be murdered.

 

[Hixx]

van Gaal next season, then.

 

[Wilbur]

van Gaal next season, then.

He will leave victorious after winning the treble

 

[Willkiller]

Not to mention better and younger!

 

[ShogunDarius]

Van Gaal to break more records than Moyes?
