Honestly, I wouldn't actually be too disappointed if we bagged both. Cisse needs competition as he's pretty much on his own (Ameobi doesn't count) and competition might make him remember how to play football again.
Bent's a proven scorer in the Premier League but he's a cunt. Remy actually did very well for QPR but it's not like Newcastle is exempt from thugs (see: Barton, Ranger, etc.). He'd be a good signing.
If we got them, a new CB and didn't lose any big players, I'd consider that OK dealing. Well, we probably need a new CM now that we lost Perch and Gosling.

Well, blackmailing might be too much but it's near the truth and I don't see anything wrong with it. He's no slave, so he should be able to pick his club.
Oh come on that's bullshit and you know it. We never wanted anyone to believe all the young players come from our club. Watzke even said our youth teams are bad at the moment and demanded change. We only want to play football with young talented players and that's nothing other clubs haven't done before.
The stock market stuff is also shit, that's from before Klopp/Watzke, we can't really change it and it doesn't give us advantages in any way.
And hypocracy? Well, we are not on a level with Bayern. Just look at the wages, we can't keep up there. Aiming for a second/third place in the Bundesliga is no hypocracy to me.
Am I still alive DC?
Yeah. Yurt and Clegg are the only casualties so far.

Roman is a honest and honorable businessman.
United fans are just jealous because they are stuck with incompetent people like Glazer who has never done anything himself to get rich other than be in the right family.
United should have accepted the Murdoch bid back in the 90's.

Imagine how ridiculously one-sided English football would be if we didn't have £400 million worth of debt (artificially leveraged on us by cunt owners) holding us back. No one other than United fans would bother watching any more. It would be a fucking slaughter of Scottish football proportions.
It's not just about this but what kind of an image Dortmund is selling and that is what bugs me. BVB is the peoples club, the little light in the evil shadow that is Bayern or Klopps analogy of the Robin Hood story... And that horrendous underdog labeling before the cl final and the whole world is cheering for Dortmund... smh. Just accept your new role and stop crying like babies when other team noticed that Dortmund has become a top club and claim top money.

Don't say that in here, we got lots of bandwagoners who are still on the romanticized dortmund train.
Not even Mansour and basedtxiki could save you now that Froggie is gone. Soon enough you will be fighting liverpool for Europa league spots.

Yup, wiki says:
"The club went public in 1990 and was the subject of takeover bids from property trader Michael Knighton and Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB corporation before Malcolm Glazer's stake was announced in September 2003. By the end of the year, Glazer had increased his shareholding from 3.17% to around 15%, which he almost doubled in the year up to October 2004. His acquisition of John Magnier and J. P. McManus's 28.7% stake in May 2005 pushed his own up to around 57%, well over the 30% threshold that would force him to launch a takeover bid. A few days later, he took control of 75% of the club's shares, allowing him to delist from the stock exchange, and within a month, Glazer took 98% ownership of the club via his Red Football parent company, forcing a compulsory buy-out of the remaining 2%. The total purchase of the club totalled almost £800 million.
The majority of the cash used by Glazer to purchase Manchester United came in the form of loans, much of which were secured against the club's assets, incurring interest payments of over £60 million per annum. The remainder came in the form of PIK loans (payment in kind loans), which were later sold to hedge funds. Manchester United was not liable for the PIKs, which were held by Red Football Joint Venture Ltd and were secured on that company's shares in Red Football Ltd (and thus the club). The interest on the PIKs rolled up at 14.25% per annum. Despite this, the Glazers did not pay down any of the PIK loans in the first five years they owned the club. In January 2010, the club carried out a successful £500 million bond issue, and by March 2010, the PIKs stood at around £207 million.[1] The PIKs were eventually paid off in November 2010 by unspecified means."
Like I said, cunt owners.
Baby you're going to feel so silly when Osman is lifting that Premier League trophy 10 months from now.

Looooool.
Reports that Higuain is "confused" about his move to Arsenal and doesn't understand why they would bid for Suarez but then not make a similar bid for him.
Man that Suarez bid really helped push through the Higuian transfer.

Bernard and Villa couldn't possibly be any different. He isn't an out and out goal scorer. You'd say he's the kind of player you need if you missed out on little Halilovic that you're apparently chasing.
Oh-so-perfect-but-naggingly-soulless Germans want a reward cookie ?

What I mean is that he's fucking good and could play in a wider position for us. We need to keep trying to sign quality players even if it costs money. I think we wanted Villa to use him on the left of a 433 while Bale plays from the right and a new striker plays down the middle.

Going public was a mistake in hindsight but it was so normalised in English football at the time - and it did help us grow the club.
The real mistake was not doing something about it when Murdoch tried to buy the club, that was the time for fans to buy into the club to ensure that people the Glazers couldn't so what they've gone on to do.
Ah well.

Gotcha. Yeah, he's a great young talent. You can't have too many creative guys.. I am very jealous of Chelsea's recent glut of signings in that regard.
He'd probably play more with them to be fair.
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read in these threads.

Why is Donetsk lying about transfer fees?
Very reliable BVB sources say Mkhitaryan cost 25m, Donetsk says 27.5m on their website. I also heard they wrote Fernandinho was more expensive than what City actually paid, any truth in that?
