Face it, Lightning. You're signing EVERYBODY this summer. Emirates Stadium is paid for, Arsenal will go crazy now.
lololol
NEVER GO FULL KIT
They will have Higuain though. They only need/want Suarez if Higuain goes.
As it stands now, they don't need Suarez
Looking slim as fuck man. Congrats.
I watched this for the first time last night as well. Absolutely loved it. I know Tarantino gets flak from some quarters for what's considered a bit of a decline in his work, but I really, really loved Inglorious and Django. I could, do and will end up watching them again and again. Just like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.
Shall I tell you what I don't watch? My Little Pony. The current thread for that in OFT is.. "interesting".
Yeah. Otherwise though ... what a sexy beast.

Real Madrid will gun for the hottest free agent in Europe, Oscar Cardozo. 17 million, it's peanuts to them.
It's pretty rare a player would have a loyalty bonus that large I'd imagine. It's a sort of solidarity/insurance clause of sorts it seems like. I know I always get nailed on them in FM since I always sell high when I can. It's always mentioned in the rumors that X will be owed the remainder of his loyalty bonus if he is sold so it seems like it's paid out during the season with their regular wages. Since its technically a new season, the clock resets if you will. Rooney's is probably like £5m if I had to guess.
Yaya extended his deal without increasing his wages so I bet they negotiated a higher loyalty bonus.
Wouldn't mind Suarez to Arse but would prefer Rooney for better image. A bid for him seems strange as the real price of him is out of question for Wenger and I don't really think Madrid gives a fuck. Perez would probably just throw more money and Suarez would come crawling on all four to Bernabéu.
Rumors are that Gaitan is also leaving. Who's going to replace them?
Full beard in growth yo. Pirlo would be proud
Accidental. I was wearing red shorts today. Sorry.
Looking slim as fuck man. Congrats.
I dont feel it
Nope
With Higuain on the books will Perez really do that? You will then have Suarez, Benzema and Higuain battling for 1 position. Your dressing room will be even more toxic than it already is.
I wouldn't mind Suarez but he falls into the Rooney impossible category for different reasons.
It means they run the risk of being left behind.
He might not be there when they do.
Doesn't the club offer the player the amount as an incentive to stay on?
So if a player stays with the club for his 5 year contract, he'll receive the bonus at the end or he'll be paid monthly. However, If he was to hand in a transfer request during that time, he'll forfeit the money.
If the club was to sell the player before his contract is up, I think they'll have to pay him the remaining amount.
Galliani showed his love to Juve, check his quote. Btw does adriano999 ever post here or did he give up because AC Bunga Bunga-GAF and Juve-GAF kept bullying Inter?
What I want to know is—what's the plan after Higuain does or doesn't come? A striker's nice, but what I really want to see progress on is the keeper and holding midfield situations. Cesar is practically available on a free; don't tell me Wenger's spent the past two months contemplating a bid... Also, Sagna has a year left on his contract.
edit: and I don't see Rooney in the "impossible" category. seems like everyone sees him as damaged goods at this point; only a handful of clubs would be willing to take a gamble on him and pay his wages.

You guys think Madrid wouldn't buy a player cos they already have existing options in their squad?
These guys just spent £25m on Isco and they don't need him. They spent £35m on Modric and didn't need him.
If Madrid want Suarez they'll just buy him. Honestly it's as simple as that.

Matic leaving too, high chance he's heading to Chelsea.
Gaitan's replacement gonna be Steven Vitória, most likely:

I'm planning on rewatching Inglourious Basterds soon, to be honest I loved it the first time but didn't really "get it" as much as I got Django. Right now I'm going through the film to pick out of the songs I liked, they were so good.
Should be other clubs who would have interest in having him in their squad no? Albeit they may not be willing to pay or have the money to pay the same price. But then I don't think he'd settle down for a non-CL club so you make a good point.
Cardozo, Matic and Gaitan are great players. Such a shame Benfica won't be able to keep them. Instead you get to keep Jorge lol. These three players gone is the best thing that can happen to Porto.Matic leaving too, high chance he's heading to Chelsea.
Gaitan's replacement gonna be Steven Vitória, most likely:

They're going to get Higuain anyways, he wants to move, they want him, Madrid don't want him.
Just a matter of time now.
If push comes to shove they'd be stupid not to cough up the extra £2m or whatever it is Madrid apparently want.
Zenit would.
Yeah me and DeGod are.

Will be interesting to see how much they bid considering they let him go for around 5 million.
It's a lot of money. I'd expect 20+ goals from him next season.
If someone like Fellaini has a release clause, I think we should just go for it. last thing we need is another Mata situation... And I read Leverkusen don't really need or want to sell this season (esp after selling Schurrle) so as much as I'd love Bender, I think that's a dead end.
I didn't even realize we were linked with him. Hmm... well, someone is better than no one. And Mannonewho was a surprisingly capable deputy in the last few matches last seasonis gone too so we just need anyone really.

i was stunned when they announced the contract extension with Jesus. there's these things called "cycles" and his, in this club, ended last season.
our president really likes him, so we gotta deal with it. given next season's CL final is here, i hope it sparks something in him.

I reckon he'd get that pretty easily.
Stunning stuff.

well, his tag is 45 million , but i'll take 30 and a couple of youth players.
Oh definitelybut the better the player, the more skeptical I am that we're actually linked with them lol

Looks like we are signing Izzy Brown. Highly rated youngster from West Brom. I bet he never plays for Chelsea :lol
Is he going into your fantasy team?
He'll be a good buy for Arsenal but I don't see him as a world class player. Especially one to get Arsenal in the title race again.

Maybe, depends how much he's priced at. RVP is probably going to be too expensive this season...although he gets so many points you kinda have to make the sacrifice. Aguero should be cheaper and score better this year. With the Suarez ban I will probably take Sturridge to start off with, too.
And yeah I agree with your assessment.
