I know next to nothing about the history of Ireland so bring it on
well i hope with zizzou being on the bench he will be motivated to play well all the time
Pere Guardiola was in the North West yesterday/2 days ago.
Rumours he met with United officials regarding Thiago.
I'm sure he's interested in hearing what the possible moves are. Still think you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Don't do this to yourself.

Yeah, he's also in it.
BTW, did you hear about that shit storm involving Ki and the former manager?
We are not signing Suarez but oh how I would love him at Arsenal but I feel Liverpool would deal with us for the right money.
Wenger pls?
If the right money was offered I think Liverpool would deal with anyone. But I think Arsenal is too smart to put down the kind of cash required. It wouldn't be a wise transfer on their part, not least because he'd expect a raise in wages and he's already at around 100k at LFC. Not to mention he's banned in England for the first six games.
He said that Micheal Collins was assainated by a guy called Charles Stewart Parnell (who was dead by 100 years) by a dragonov sniper rifle
unless Suarez has a release clause, I can't see any scenario where we get Suarez. Liverpool could easily command 50m for him, especially to a club in the same league, and he'd be completely worth that valuationban or not. And if we're paying 50m for him, I don't care how good he is, there's enough problem areas in the team that I don't think it would be the best of investments.
EU West.
Wouldn't joining the US server just be a latency fest for someone in Europe?
Jeff Gertsmann just said Bombcast has gone live. Damn, this is gonna be tough.
Why would he want to stay at Atletico permanently? He is going on loan there for his development, even if he was indeed their player and not merely on loan, it is around this time that he would be looking for a move to a bigger club anyway.
There is no incentive for Chelsea to sell. Anyway, it is going to plan for now, the difference being that Chelsea originally wanted to loan him to a PL club for his 3rd season but Courtois wanted to remain at Atletico for the CL. Difficult decision comes next year when he has 2 years left on his contract, will have to evaluate whether he is ready to replace Cech then.
The facebook incident? He can be remarkably stupid at times.
How high will Spurs be prepared to pay/
For the right player I think we will pay £20m, maybe a bit more. We tried to spend that kind of money on Moutinho last season.
There's no reason for Spurs not to splash out everything on a striker this window, they could easily go up to £30million and grab Benteke or anyone else. Their financial situation is healthy and has been for several years, they've avoided big spends in previous windows and most importantly their wage bill is still relatively low.
Quiet you. Our midfield ate yours last season, even without Sandro. We're going to win the league this time, with Ade scoring 30 goals.
Quite a few midfields did.
Not to join forces with Lunchbox (who is a numpty), but who gives a fuck.
Ah yes, apart from the times when Arsenal put 5 past you, twice. (last year)

On Benteke, I did hear something that he thought Aston Villa was in London when he joined (lol), so I assume he would be keen to actually move there now.
He doesn't strike me as a Wenger type striker, and Arsenal fans do you really want to two lumpy strikers? Turns you into a long ball team trying to get the big guy to hold it up. Not very Wenger. Suarez, however unlikely, is the type of striker Wenger would normally want to buy.
Chamakh was free, and he does love to dabble in the French League.
---
And Lunchbox is right on his post there, (for once
). And I think I some somebody thought that Spurs have a shot of winning the league? Gimme a break. Remember EVERY season since time began when some Spurs idiot walks out in front of the press to proclaim "this is the year that we have overtaken Arsenal!" Was it Freud last season? Last season Arsenal were apparently a crisis club and Spurs had a better squad. A crisis club with one of their worst squads in prem history still finished above Spurs. When AVB gets sacked, they do love a sacking does old Levy, enjoy mid table again. Should never have sacked Jol.

Unfortunately it comes down to the tiniest of margins and that means that Arsenal's swifter transfer business made the difference. We missed out on the CL by one point in both the last seasons and also failed to win a match until a month into the season due to our squad not being ready. Arsenal on the other hand had their full squad ready to go on the very first day. Thankfully that seems to have changed this season with the club acting more swiftly to sign the players we need. Last season might have looked like a bottle job but from November onwards we racked up more points than Chelsea in the league.
There's some people trying to get the colour of the HP logo changed on our new kit.
I doubt it will happen but it looks so much better like that.

Nope, their chairman has come out and said that the rumour was bullshit.

Both will be £20m+, I don't see us willing to spend that much on a striker until we shift Ade off the books.
At the minute, we've splashed out £17m and sold no one, we've only released a few high waged players.
We need to start shipping out now, Hudd, Rose, Ade, Khumalo, Gomes and Parker would be the best way to raise money and clear a chunk off the wage bill. Trouble is, there doesn't seem to be much interest at the minute.

So reports coming out of Italy seem to be saying that our ( Sunderland's) deal for Giaccerini from Juventus is pretty much done and dusted. So for those that follow Seria A what's the general opinion on the guy? I know he had a great Confeds cup and the prospect of signing a current full Italian international is quite exciting but how do people feel how well has he been doing at club football over the last few years and how well could he adapt to the Prem?

Arsenal doing the opposite. Plenty of deadwood leaving but nothing on the horison coming into the club.
Gervinho next out the door apparently.

It would look really nice if it was just hp with a thick black outline, and you were allowed to do away with the circle altogether
Isn't he pretty much incapable of kicking a ball properly, one of those players who is basically an athlete with nothing other than pace and stamina?
I don't know about that, Hudd, Ade, Parker, Livermore and Naughton have all been linked to moves away. The chaff will be moved on, but it takes time. As the selling club we have to be patient and wait for the offers to come. Remember last summer we started with Pienaar, Bassong, Bentley etc. They all played for us in pre-season. I don't think we need to sell to buy, Levy knows it's too important. I expect main in-comings will be done by the end of July, Levy will just have to squeeze all his haggling into the next 3 weeks.
Of course but the sponsor decides those things. The navy HP logo appears on the away kit and they really should just use that, they aren't going to change the basic design.

Manchester United have apparently discovered Twitter.

If we can shift Carroll, Shelvey and Spearing for decent money then you've got no excuse.
Aly Sissokho would be a great buy.

It's a sign!

Having spent £17m on Paulinho, the rumoured Bale payrise, Baldini coming in and stadium construction underway, I struggle to see us going out and splashing big money on another player until we have shifted a few on.
We aren't as well off as people make out, we are well run yes but not in a position to go and spend £40m+ without thinking twice. The whole stadium project is so we can do that....but we are a long way from that.
As with all previous managers and as he said last year, he is most likely happy with the squad at the minute and he knows we need to cut it, hopefully Baldini can work some magic and start shifting them.
Yeah, that Fergie has well and truly left his throne of power.
I've just read he's been sold to Blackburn for £1.75million
First Shelvey, now Spearing. How are Liverpool getting people to buy these players?

We'll happily help fund the Benteke deal by taking Danny Rose off your hands.

Yeah, I seem to remember Fergie spent a lot of time forcing Manchester United Football Club not to have a Twitter account. He sometimes had to miss training sessions because he was so busy lobbying against it.
