Just heard on the german radio that Arsenal got Özil for 50 million.

Are we talking Mesut Özil? The Real Madrid player? FC Arsenal?

Dear sweet lord...almost crashed the damn car when I heard it. What happened?

 

[Hindle]

Which PL team would you guys say have done the best transfers?

For me it's Liverpool, just because the players they've bought really slot into the way the club plays.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Nice Avatar - that's from Persona, yes?

FUCK double post. Really guys? Deadline day and I'm double posting? Get the fuck on it.

It's from Megaten, the whole series.

I was preparing for SMT IV in Europe... lol now I have to wait till 2014.

Double posting is not so bad, it's at triple posting where you gotta stop and really contemplate your life.

 

[confuziz]

What's with Ajax buying former promising wingers who are now kind of shit?

I don't know.

They only wanted a dutch winger, no idea why.

 

[GorillaJu]

So it's a deal with the club? They're not paying the clause in La Liga?

Sounds like they're dealing with the club in this case, and that Bilbao will choose to sell the player for an amount equal to his release clause.

 

[Barzul]

I want to the best players in the PL. Want PL dominating in Europe, Bundesliga (that Bayern team *shudders*) is getting too good and La Liga will always La Liga with Barca and RM. Glad Wenger's finally waking up.

 

[Salvadora]

Is Ozil even confirmed

Arsenal fans go take a seat

Stay at Madrid is still likely.

I'm not Ozil

It's going to be a long night.

Isco and Bale happened

Wasting time till this weekend, what the fuck is wrong with united:

Here's Andy Hunter, our Stanley Park correspondent:

Everton rejected a third joint offer from Manchester United for Fellaini and Baines at the weekend - this time £40m - and today a separate £15m offer for Baines as Jamie Jackson has reported. The club maintains that Baines is not for sale and, as the rejection of the £40m offer shows, are holding out for more than £25m for Fellaini. He may have to submit a transfer request to force the issue after all, but hasn't done so yet.

Even an increased offer for Fellaini may not suffice at this late stage, however. Everton had lined up Porto midfielder Fernando as his replacement, with Roberto Martinez attending a work permit hearing in London this morning for the Brazilian, but that deal is now in doubt.
Interest remains in James McCarthy and Gareth Barry, although they are not close to an agreement with Wigan for the Republic of Ireland midfielder and only if Manchester City pay part of Barry's £120,000-a-week wages will that deal go through.

 

[Lightning]

Go to sleep dear, you must be knackered.

And to think Ozil could have been a United player right now, Ahhhhh lol.

Multi-quote. Get the fuck on it.

Dudes, Sakho starts immediately. Agger needs time to heal as he hasn't been fully fit. I would wager our first game after the break will be

Spoiler

multi-quoting to show you how it's done

 

[Mr.Marston]

Fernando to Everton is off apparently.

Looks like Fellaini is staying lol

Lerin Duarte (Heracles Almelo) signed a four-year contract with Ajax

Chelsea imo

Southampton, Norwich, Man City, Liverpool and Spurs have all done a fair bit of business, but you have to give it to Spurs.

 

[Stark]

So Ozil's officially signed?

 

[Scum]

Use the fucking cubicle, Bale.

 

[Darth Sonik]

The Anfield Wrap guys are starting a 4 hour deadline day show on City Talk 105.9.

 

[K1LLER7]

That's... not what it says, or at least not the same conclusion I came to. It's something Sid Lowe wrote before about the way release clauses work, and hostile bids. It doesn't sound at all like Bilbao is perceiving Man U's bids as hostile, they're just sitting around for the clause to be met.

The Clause has been met, so hopefully the rumours of him having his medical in Spain are true.

So it's a deal with the club? They're not paying the clause in La Liga?

No idea how it works. But if United had to pay more than €36m, they will not sign Herrera.

 

[subtles]

Confusion reigns when Coutinho is asked whether he knew of David Moyes before his arrival in England. "What?" is the reply. Try again. Before coming to England, did you know who David Moyes was? "Who?" One last go. David Moyes? "No."

l wonder how many other players are in the same boat.

 

[GorillaJu]

Wait, you call a bathroom stall a cubicle in the UK? Interesting. To me, there are only office cubicles.

 

[cremino]

Wasn't there a 5% tax for youth development or something??

Norwich in talks for wantaway West Ham striker Ricardo Vaz Te. Season long loan, say Sky 'sources'

Angel Di Maria interest has cooled. Not just from Arsenal, but all interested parties. Him and Karim Benzema look set to stay. Ozil is the man looking ready to go.

 

[Tc91]

Guardian reporting Herrera deal is off due to tax issues.

I don't even care anymore :'(

Are you fucking kidding me.

Woodward out. Moyes out. Hala Madrid.

 

[tarzanpuyol]

you pay the clause + tax (not sure the exact amount)

Good example is how Thiago left for 25, Bayern agreed to pay 25 instead of 30m (20m clause + 10 tax)

 

[Yurt]

So Ozil's officially signed?

Podolski is retweeting stuff about Ozil.

 

[Ravensmash]

Use the fucking cubicle, Bale.

Hey, he's earning 300k a week - he can piss where he bloody well likes.

 

[Freewheelin']

COME ON ARSENAL

Pls

announce Ozil

I am desperate ;_;

 

[Rhaegar]

Podolski is retweeting stuff about Ozil.

I've also already written "Ozil #1" on the back of my Arsenal kit in magic marker.

 

[omgkitty]

Announce Ozil and move on to Draxler! Let's fuck some shit up!

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Announce Ozil already, I'm getting nervous someone snatch him at the finish line ala Mata.

Oh yeah, there was a 5% tax for youth development. Completely forgot about that. Hope that's not what's holding the deal off.

We will play a friendly in their new stadium too.

Yeah, 5% tax.

 

[hiroshawn]

Ozil to be announced any second now.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I genuinely think Moyes is going to get shit figured out at United, but I can understand the frustration from United fans because I think the situation is like a much less drastic version of Hodgson's time at Liverpool. Two scoreless games vs two of your biggest rivals, neglecting the brightest young talent who the fans have really taken to, relying on dinosaurs and sending out a team that played flat, ineffectual football.

Seems like one step forward, two steps back. Like I said, it's much less drastic than Hodgson gutting our team, wringing all the blood out of the carcass then dropping the dried out heap of flesh on the linoleum floor.

Just saying, I know dat feel

I'll give Moyes a chance, yeah. He hasn't really been doing that badly. and hopefully that freekagawa tweet, as stupid as it sounds, help my man get some games to prove himself at United.

So here are a few positives to counter all the shit I said about Man Utd.

• We have three great strikers in front. Yeah, I'm including Rooney. He's still one hell of a football player. I was wrong.
  
• Valencia has improved. I'm hoping he'll keep up his form this year. Welbeck has too but having shitty first touch isn't helping anyone since Manchester United often uses a long ball strategy for their strikers.
  
• Nani is being less of a show off twat now.

I really hope we get Baines in our team. We have one hell of a attacking RB with Rafa. Having Baines on the left could really add something deadly to our game.

 

[feel]

nope, we're playing

 

[MPW]

Hey, he's earning 300k a week - he can piss where he bloody well likes.

that's what? 10m euros a year?

 

[jordisok]

Lerin Duarte (Heracles Almelo) signed a four-year contract with Ajax

Actually good business from ajax

 

[Barzul]

Come on Arsene striker. We've only spent half our budget. Need MOAR.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Well, no Ozil announcement, but the loan of that Palermo goalkeeper to Arsenal has been officially confirmed.

 

[omgkitty]

Viviano is confirmed.

 

[omgkitty]

Needless to say, I'm excited for Ozil.

Moyes obviously knows the needs, as seen by his pursuit of Fabregas, Fellani, Herrera.

What we are obviously lacking is David Gill. Woodward is that right is now looking after these things? He has shown he can't get shit done as of now.

 

[Mr.Marston]

I don't know who that is but WELCOME.

 

[cremino]

Yeah, 5% tax.

36 mil €+ 5% is over 40 mil €

I've been worried all day bro.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

alright im worried

I was never counting on anything until I see an official press release. The new guy handling transfer sucks obviously.

 

[Rhaegar]

Viviano is confirmed.

Works for me. Need to push Szczesny a bit.
