I don't think Shaqiri will want to stay longer at Bayern if he plays as little as he did last season.

I agree. Götze pretty much made him obsolete.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Let's have some muppet. United have booked a medical for someone very soon http://mufclatest.com/exclusive-thiago-is-coming/ and these guys apparently broke the RVP one and the Varela one as well as unwittingly the Fernandinho and Navas ones to city.

Killer alt?

 

[Clegg]

That Arsenal bid is clearly for show.

Liverpool wouldn't sell for £30m and Arse won't bid more than that for one player.

They're just trying to scare Madrid.

AM's new song really is good.

Can't wait for the album now. We get AM and 20/20 pt. 2 in September.

[Salvadora]

The most recent rumours are suggesting that Madrid are holding out for £25.5m.

We have to show Madrid that we have multiple targets and if they don't play ball they won't get paid.

Brian Cox is a baller and fuck you

I like Brian but he was dreadful in Manhunter.

Morgan Freeman would've been better.

Then you should have picked a more realistic target.

Bidding for Suarez was a waste of time. It's not going to perturb Madrid in the slightest.

Just having a moment.

Where else is reporting that United has booked a medical for a player?

You should have, we know it's happening brah.

Suarez is (probably) a Madrid target.

It makes perfect sense.

 

[Hixx]

Juve want 13m Euros for Giaccherini?

Let's not get crazy, Mr. de Fanti.

 

[Slizz]

Suarez is (probably) a Madrid target.

It makes perfect sense.

Isn't it a bit too obvious?

"Madrid keeping Higuain because of the lack of advancement on Suarez"

"Arsenal bid more on Suarez then they were going to on Higuain"

 

[K1LLER7]

You should have, we know it's happening brah.

Viva kicked me off the Thiago hype train. I'm not allowed to celebrate when we sign him.
I saved so many Gifs too :'(

If its not done by next weekend, it's off. #IAMITK

Marcelo_Lopez84 says Thiago will happen and that Reina is set for Napoli.

It makes no sense.

1. Liverpool aren't going to sell to Arsenal.
2. They're not going to sell for £30m or probably even £40m.
3. Everyone knows Arsenal won't go over a certain amount for a player anyway.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

I really wish we'd stop playing these stupid games every transfer window, we have money right?

Real want £25.5m, pay them and be done with it. No trying to get a bargain, get results.

 

[Fry]

Real want £25.5m, pay them and be done with it. No trying to get a bargain, get results.

Wenger, though.

 

[LTWheels]

Come on, an acceptable sale price for Suarez from Liverpool's point of view would be at least £50m. Especially when selling to a club in the same league.

 

[Willkiller]

That's the biggest monkey? You'd think with the way the media go on about 1966 England winning nowt would be.

.

British, not English

 

[Vivalaraza]

Arsenal can't even close out a deal for Julio Cesar.

Gonna have a big summer lol.

you said his name on purpose you fucking clit

Oops, by bad!

1. If Arsenal paid the asking price they would.
2. £30m is not a final bid.
3. Meaningless. Before this summer Arsenal's record signing was Arshavin, years ago.

Arsenal's interest in Suarez could provoke other European clubs into action.

Look at the bigger picture, Clegg.

 

[LTWheels]

£34m plus Cazorla please (or Wilshere)

 

[Vivalaraza]

Would Suarez even want to go to Arsenal?

Same country, same league, wouldn't get paid much more, no trophies...CL football seems to be the only pull.

Never, he has to want to go to Spain. Maybe France.

 

[Zabojnik]

The figure sounds so insane. The media/journalists need a fucking nut-check for the way they act over in Europe.

Here in the U.S. get a story wrong about a player moving to another team you get chastised from the sport and by the athletes. Then basically you have no credibility.

It's called freedom of speech. We have it here in ol' Europe. Look it up.

Spoiler

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!

OT:

Mads Mikkelsen is the superior Hannibal. Sorry, Anthony Hopkins.

Fuck Brian Cox's version, even Suarez was a better Hannibal.

I take it you rike it, then?

You don't open your bid with the exact value of a player.

Come on guys.

"You never do."

Osvaldo on the verge of joining City for 11.2 mill + bonuses.

This transfer story is so strange. Osvaldo ... to City. Osvaldo ... City. Yeah, I don't get it.

 

[Fry]

Going to Arsenal from Liverpool would be beyond pointless.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I reckon Suarez will end up staying at Liverpool this summer and you never know they might even go on a mad one and grab a CL spot. Would be interesting to see what happens then.

Dat Komptomism.

 

[jtb]

I don't buy that Suarez wants out of the country. He probably just wants a move and whining about the press is probably the easiest way to do it.

Has the balls to do what Rooney won't. Publicly say he wants to leave.

 

[Lambda Pie]

fantastic matches at the U-20 tournament today. that Iraq team is gonna end up spread all around Europe.

 

[Milchmonster]

Some information from Freddie Röckenhaus' article on Mkhitaryan:
- 50% of the rights belong to Donetsk
- 25% for two of his former clubs
- they wanted to move him to Anzhi at first but he and his mother (who seems to have some influence somehow) wanted a move in the west and therefor hired Raiola
- Juve also wanted him but said no because of Raiola
- he's expected to be in Dortmund on Monday

Röckenhaus is normally spot on with Dortmund stuff, the Juve part seems strange, though, considering Pogba.

 

[LTWheels]

If that's the case he should then put in a transfer request throwing away his bonuses.

 

[Salvadora]

I don't think it's that bizarre, really (assuming this is true).

It's basically telling Madrid to sell Higuain quickly or risk missing out on their targets.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Does anybody know how all this loyalty bonus business works?

What's going to happen if Suarez/Rooney hand in a transfer request? Who would no longer owe them money?

I don't think it's that bizarre, really (assuming this is true).

I think Madrid are okay though. They basically just spent €70m buying up all the good Spanish talent - I have a feeling money is no obstacle to them.

I suppose it depends on the terms of their individual contracts.

Django Unchained was incredible.

Considering how videogames are rising and movies are dying, Quentin Tarantino should make a video game. Preferably something like GTA or RDR.

 

[jtb]

fuck Suarez anyways. I'd take Rooney over him, even with his ridiculously inflated wages.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I suppose it depends on the terms of their individual contracts.

How much could he stand to lose out on though, just seems like a concept which has only come to the fore very recently and was never mentioned before.

People go on about this as though they could stand to lose out on millions...clubs really pay their players that much when they sell them? If that were true I would have thought all clubs would try and force players into issuing official transfer requests before selling them.

I dunno - I'm just speculating. But something doesn't add up for me.

 

[Zabojnik]

Röckenhaus is normally spot on with Dortmund stuff, the Juve part seems strange, though, considering Pogba.

We were shortly linked with him, probably because of Raiola, but I don't think he was ever a real target. We had (and still have) other priorities. Not that I would've minded if we signed him, lol. Mikiteriyaki <3

 

[Lightning]

Lol at all the assumptions going on here.

Either way 30m for Suarez is 10m too low.

 

[Meier]

Where else is reporting that United has booked a medical for a player?

It's called throwing shit against a wall and hoping it sticks.

1.) All of these transfers were heavily reported in advance and many are saying this one is done.
2.) They haven't given a time, date OR player so they have plausible deniability if it doesn't happen. "The teams are still working things out. We'll keep you updated when we have new info so please keep it locked to MUFC Latest."
3.) If they get it right, goobers like you trust them. If they don't, see #2.
4.) Navas had his medical done in NYC. Their source is transatlantic too?

 

[Salvadora]

I think Madrid are okay though. They basically just spent €70m buying up all the good Spanish talent - I have a feeling money is no obstacle to them.

If they let the Higuain saga drag out all summer they will risk being left in the lurch.

All the money in the world won't make a difference when there's no one available.

 

[LTWheels]

I dunno - I'm just speculating. But something doesn't add up for me.

I suppose that the problem of official transfer requests, is that other clubs know that the player wants to leave and that the club has to sell him. This could possible end up lowering the potential price.
