its just posturing.
Like Arnie said above, aside from a couple of high profile fuck-ups that stick in everyone's memory, I thought Skrtel was generally immense last year. Don't get me wrong, I don't think we should hold on to him whatever offer comes in, and £10m would probably be tempting, but £5m is massively undervaluing him.
Agger had a much worse season, and is the same age, but there's no way we'd let him leave for that money.
YES FRANK! It'll be interesting to see how (if!) our defense adapts to 4-3-3.
Why is the price getting lower and lower? That's not how bidding wars work.
There is not bidding war, Vidal only wants United.
Reminds me of what Lippi said when they asked him how he came up with the 5 penalty takers in the 2006 final. "Nobody else wanted to shoot."
Jesus fuck no.
Hell no.
Please, no.
If you don't get Champions League football this coming season I guarantee that Lloris leaves next summer.
That's football, and this new contract will ensure the player gets what he wants, in return for what you want this summer (stability).
If Vidal is available expect a massive bidding war. I would be astounded if Madrid and Bayern didn't jump on his availability.
Unless Spurs start spending how do they expect to get into the top 4? As things currently stand they have about as much chance as Everton which is very little.

could you imagine a front 2 of Benzema and Balotelli :/
Well of course he will leave in that situation, I'm just saying it won't be because of an actual clause in his contract. Bale signed a new contract the summer before he left but there was no release clause, Modric the same. Levy doesn't do those.
Well we will spend, we want Davies for LB, a CB and a striker. We 're working on it. Lamela is effectively a new signing as well, he started 3 league games last season.
No, but he'll cost £40m and will force Sturridge out on the wing. Plus it'd properly destroy Turok.
Ohhhhh yes, looking like a superstar in that Hollywood FC red.

He's absolutely not going anyway, only way he mightve gone was if Suarez came in. Plus, the Falcao thing seems to have gone cold for the moment.

Morsel give plugs two hours back to him right now!
Or Levy told him that the only way he gets his dream move if he signs a new contract now.
He already looks more comfortable in red than Götze ever has.
So do I! but no Prime 4, I want something new. Or at least set after Fusion.
And I just read up on the Kroos discussion before. Of course, he's not better than Messi, but that's not his role either. He has been the most consistent German midfielder and is having a great world cup. The suggestion that Khedira has been better is ludicrous as well. He has had ONE good/great game now.
Koeman is right. We can be proud of that performance in the world cup and we need to try and beat Brazil now. Gonna be hard with our tired squad but even if we lose we gave everything and one can't ask for more than that.
Jokes aside, Vlaar is still incredibly average. Been great this world cup but still an incredibly average player. LvG done well to get the best out of him though.
Probably something along the lines that he will allow a transfer if the club fails to achieve certain targets. Lloris has spoken of wanting CL football but he's just the beginning. Vertonghen and Eriksen won't stick around either if Spurs don't achieve CL football shortly.

dont worry about it m8 its inconsequential, boss told me not to worry about it since ive been working my butt off *fistpump*
cant we just get Prime 4 and a 2D Metroid for 3DS? It's not like theyve never done that before
also, I wasnt saying he's better than Messi (obviously he isnt), I was saying he's impressed me more at this WC than Messi has. And the sudden revisionist history here on Khedira is amazing, innit? lololololol
United GAF muppeting over dailymail stories, new low.
Welcome Probity
Pulg, please don't use the number of passes and completion % in an argument again :lol Xavi-esque. Chiellini is the fucking WORST passer in Italy by a large fucking mile but his passing % is always in the 90s

Its relevant when the player is the one with most passes in the game and at the same time has the highest %, no? Or does Chiellini play 100 passes per game?
Nobody gives a fuck about Vertonghen, if I had my way he would be slung out instead of Dawson.
Dat Bernat
They call you Bla, you have good pictures. I now know to pay attention to that. You get me Bayern things before the news does, that is nice. Your avatar is great too.
He's quite a decent player. Has a dose of Vermaelen about him but he can do a job.
He does. He's always a few passes behind Pirlo and sometimes Bonucci.
the stat means nothing. Believe me, if Kroos was THAT good, Bayern wouldn't even consider selling him. Kinda like you guys and Morata. They have a history of forcing their good players to stay.
Kroos IS good, but he's not great.
Verstronghen is great
Yeah, you can make a million passes, but really it matters more if you have a lot of key passes or assists if you want to look at passing statistics. That is why judging midfielders and defenders is so much more difficult than it is forwards.

So Sanchez should be announced today, right?
Good news.
Debuchy next, Schneiderlin/Khedira, Remy and new GK and we should be challenging for the title next season.

You could challenge for CL at that rate.

Now you're just deliberately lying
and Bayern DONT want to sell him you egg, Kroos doesnt want to sign a new contract so they are forced to sell him now or let him go on a free next summer.
Why are you being deliberately obtuse? Go take out your Vidal frustrations somewhere else m8, Toni is class.
I don't necessarily disagree in principle, but we're talking Real and Bayern here. They can replace a WC player with another WC player in a matter of weeks, maybe days, if they need to. And they don't, not really, since they already have a squad full of top players. Losing Vidal would be tragic for us, losing a Vidal (a potential one, in we're talking Morata) means much, much less to clubs like Real, Bayern and oiled cunt clubs.
So many news sources and other general internet ITK's have been so wrong about Sanchez's announcement. Since the start of the week the announcement has always been coming "today or tomorrow!"
Today is the day people! Anyone with any sort of business skills should know and understand that with a kit launch you want pictures to be all over the web / newspapers. What better way than having a marquee signing coming out on stage to model the new kit, someone that is going to get the back pages in many newspapers! Puma have already had the kit(s) leaked all over the internet and possibly in newspapers, so the kit launch tonight probably isnt going to grab many column inches by itself, but I guarantee you that tomorrow morning, 80% of the back pages in the UK will be a picture of Sanchez in the new Puma Kit.
My absolute prediction: Either Sanchez will the be first player out to model the kit or it will be a "one more thing" type scenario.

He had a shit season last year and put in 50% effort at best, I will never forget that 6th goal at Man City. There is a reason nobody is trying to buy him this summer.
When he can be bothered he is fantastic, but he didn't have one standout game last season. At least players like Dawson leave everything on the pitch.
