muppetry: Liverpool's Iago Aspas heading to Sevilha, no values to quote yet.

That's exactly the thing though, Vidal is great at everything

Is Allardyce the only prominent manager who uses twitter in a capacity other than a PR-trained, mouthpiece one?
@Lambda, it's only on loan

Will Bebe start for you guys?
Shame, never really given much of a chance. I'll be happy if we manage to make our money back on him.
Edit: Loan, oh
I suppose this will speed up the move for Moreno to Liverpool then...

Of course. Bebe will be he main attacking player. All of Benfica's play will go through Bebe.
God I hope so. I'll be pretty excited if we get him.

Apparently they're drawing a line between the two transfers, but I can't see us not leaning on the Aspas move to smooth the Moreno transfer over

Good at everything, but fantastic at nothing. Dominated by the fat Brazillian Claudemir and Thomas Delaney, m8.

Did Pardew really say this? On signing Cabella:
""A lot of work has gone into his signing and I'd like to pay tribute to my staff, in particular Graham (Carr) and myself, Lee (Charnley), Mike (Ashley) and everyone on the board""
He's amazing.
Interviewer: Who inspires you?
B-Rod: Me.
:lol
Glad his talent will finally be acknowledged in Europe. Sad to see him go.

if Gaitan leaves, yes.
Just for the record, here was Spain's World Cup team. Not a single player from Spain who did not play for a club with a B team with the exception of Costa (for obvious reasons).
Casillas: 30 games for Real Madrid C and Castilla
De Gea: 35 games for Atletico B
Reina: 44 games for Barca C and Barca B
Albiol: 35 games for Valencia B
Pique: 0 official games for Barca's youth teams
Carvajal: 68 games for Castilla
Ramos: 26 games for Sevilla B
Alba: 18 games for Valencia B, 35 games on loan for Gimnàstic (third tier)
Azpilicueta: 27 games for Osasuna B
Javi Martinez: 32 games for Osasuna B
Iniesta: 54 games for Barca B
Xavi: 61 games for Barca B
Cesc: 0 official games for Barca's youth teams
Mata: 39 games for Castilla
Xabi Alonso: 39 games for Sociedad B
Busquets: 33 games for Barca C and Barca B
Koke: 66 games for Atletico B
Santi Cazorla: 40 games for Villarreal B
David Silva: 14 games for Valencia B, 35 games on loan for SD Eibar (2nd tier), 34 games on loan for Celta (1st tier)
David Villa: 65 games for Sporting Gijón B
Fernando Torres: Wiki lists 0 games for Atletico B, first team at age 16
Pedro: 125 games for Barca C and Barca B
Diego Costa: 0 games for Spanish youth teams
A loan is always a complete crap shoot. It's not particularly surprising that only a few of their players went out on loan to develop -- Silva's development is probably the most English of them all.

I honestly thought he would stay but maybe him going back to Portugal is for the best. Benfica are a good team so it's not a bad move for him.
Haha
Oh, I wasn't refering to Spain teams, I meant there are plenty of national teams that have good youth production and no B team system.
True.
Though I wanted to see him play on this pre-season tour. Will never see him play against Real Madrid now
this thread is disgusting
been saying that for months. You can talk to Vidal, Pogba, their agents, their wives and pick up their children from school all you want...the issue will forever be with Juve.
even if he comes out and says I want to leave, we probably won't sell him if we don't like your offer. We did that to lesser players, like Sissoko and Tiago.

Twitter Adnan is fake. I was duped.
Ginter to Dortmund huh. I wonder what that means.

Forgot to include the Dutch in my B league list above. Just remembered about good ol Jong Ajax (a young American scored 2 goals for Utrecht's reserve team this weekend, woot -- expect to see Rubio Rubin jump to their first team sometime this season). All of the best nations in Europe use the system. This is not a coincidence.
England either has to get with the times or continue to be left behind.
In Europe, there really aren't many. Not in 2014. They're prevalent in South America because these clubs are relatively poor by comparison and have to sell their players abroad because they will lose them for free if they don't. What this means is you see 16-18 year olds playing in the first teams with relative frequency.

is ayre incapable of selling players? Reina, Aspas, Alberto, Aquilani all loaned over the years
I honestly don't think Khedira to Arsenal is anywhere close to being done. The news came from Sport a Barca based paper and they notorious for trotting Barca's agenda. I'd wait for Cadena SER or Marca to report something before going full muppet or any Arsenal insiders like Geoff or Dean. I want him at Arsenal. Don't think we need a specialist DM if the two midfielders in the pivot are energetic and disciplined. Plus we can play Arteta in the bigger away games with Ramsey and Khedira if needed.
We make it very obvious we're desperate to get rid.
They're probably going to feed him to Gündoğan
Italy don't. Somehow, they still won the WC in 2006.
And most nations don't let reserve teams rise beyond amateur level or 3rd or 4th divisions. At that kind of quality there is unlikely to be any discernible difference between England's reserve league.
That means something like last season isn't gonna happen again, where we had to sign someone who wasn't playing for more than 6 months.
Plus, we never got a proper replacement if Hummels is injured.
Subotic and Sokratis are the same playertypes who're not really known for a clever passes.
So, if Hummels is out, we got Ginter who is somewhat similar to Hummels and can read and drive a game with his passes.
And he can also play as CM
Our wages are either too high on them or they only arrived a year ago. Isn't too much we can do if the players are willing to sit on the bench and collect their wages :/
Hummels to Arsenal.
I think we'd sign him honestly if the price didn't get too crazy. if we could do a deal for like 40-45m pounds, we would imo. Even if it meant we had a loss on the books for this season. Wenger only has 3 years to win the CL, he wants it before he retires.

Won't be third-choice, not when BFG and Bossicenly are first choice.
Maybe VIva isn't the only ITK in this thread...
Seeing how much we've already spent, I would think that's the only way we could do it. There have been rumors today he wants to come to the PL, and I think Arsenal are the only team who actually need him and could afford him. Not to say Chelsea wouldn't just buy him for shits and giggles, or City for that matter.
Tönnies singing with Neuer haha http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/c...ss-fuer-unsere-weltmeister-36813330.bild.html
That obviously isn't true or the English games would be classified as competitive which they aren't. If you do limit them from going above the third or fourth tier, then how is that a bad thing? It affects a handful of clubs but very likely could improve the country's national team. That's a net benefit in most people's eyes.
Italy are the exception to the rule but beyond that, are vastly more successful than England as a nation in terms of football, so it's not exactly a like for like comparison.
