Puyol just tweeted this:

'Mucha suerte!!! Un abrazo amigo.'

class!

After signing Mkhitaryan and all the BVB hype in Armenia, Revier Sport wrote as a joke that BVB should sign India's captain Sunil Chhetri to get 1.2 billion new fans.

Indian journalists didn't get the joke and thought he was indeed joining BVB. That was creating a crazy hype, our PR guy's phone rang all the time with calls from India, BVB was the most tweeted word in India and they created an Indian BVB fan page on Facebook.

Some Indian journalist said Bayern was traveling to India 5 times in the last 8 years to get relevant there. BVB did nothing and is way more popular now.

looool I love you internet.
they should buy him now!

I don't know where to ask this as there's no longer a "stupid questions" thread but guys, what do I do if my receiver don't have any more HDMI inputs? Because I got to connect a Wii U and a recorder but I already have a PS3, Xbox 360, HMZ-T1, Mac Mini and the TV connected.

What can I do? =(

Where are you based? You may need a HDMI switcher box.

Can you not get some sort of HDMI splitter or something?

Sky sources: Manchester United to make £35m offer for Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas #SSN

Let's not go full muppet on this one.
 
Latest mercato news / rumors / bullshit:

- both Southampton and Norwich are after Quagliarella, apparently there's a 12M€ offer on the table, Fabio allegedly isn't opposed to a move to England, Marotta is expected to meet both clubs this week [God, please let it be true.]

Sad as I think Quagliarella deserves a better squad than Norwich. I think Liverpool might do okay with him.

- Moratti promised Isla to Mazzarri, Inter have raised their offer from 6,5M€ to 6,8M€ (lol), we're asking 7,5M€, Isla will join Inter at Pinzolo's retreat in three days [Let's wrap this up, Marry.]

Seriously. €7,0m and get the fuck out, Moratti.

- Juve and Cuntasaray will meet tomorrow for Melo, the deal is likely to be closed at 5M€ [GOD, PLEASE LET IT COME TRUE!]

Not happening.

- Napoli want Matri, we want Zuniga, a swap may be in the cards [Eh, whatever.]

I hope it's not happening. I don't want Zuniga as I don't rate him highly at all. And he won't play any more than Padoin or Giaccherini did. Still hoping we have a last minute turn and sell Padoin instead of Full Metal Giak.

Anyway, we're going to need SOMEONE as backup. May as well be Mitra.

You already know how big of an ask that is :p.

Cesc is great, but I've always thought he played best in a Kagawa type role. Is he going to be able to protect the back 4 adequately if he's part of a midfield 2?

If we're willing to bid that sort of money on that type of player, I'd rather we went in for Modric, tbh.

Any pics of Maicon in Rome? I read he had a number snapped at the airport. Medical is today.

Apparently GdS are saying Jovetic to City or Chelsea within the next 48 hours. Gomez being unveiled today. Fiorentina are expected to get the full €30m.

Could be worse, there could be rumours on Twitter that you'd just given a one year deal to Gary Taylor-Fletcher.

Makes Neil Shipperley look trim.

Thiagdont what Xavi did. Be patient.

I think he would have been patient if the world cup was 2 years away. He probably really wants to be in the Spanish squad.

He made 101 appearances for Barca with 64ish starts. That is a lot for a 21 year old fighting for a spot in the world's best midfield.

Barca-gaf weren't the biggest fans of him though it seemed, have had arguments/discussions with most of them whether Thiago is any good.

I believe though. Man Utd missed out.

#MoyesOut

:lol Cesc isn't leaving, especially now without Thiago.

Sky Italia: Stevan Jovetić is on the verge of becoming a Manchester City player with the deal expected to be done tonight or tomorrow.
One of Jovetić's entourage, Pini Zahavi, who has good relations with Moyes, met with United but City look to have won the race.
City will pay £23million to £24million + future bonuses for Jovetić, who has been trailed by most of Europe's top clubs recently.

Jovetic is not in Firotentina's preseason squad.

He looks like he has eaten Taylor-Fletcher in that picture.

He's lost a few pounds since he retired though by the looks of things which is good to see.

2000% to City. 28m plus performance bonuses.

That sure sounds like a race we were never in.

You don't think Taylor Fletcher will do alright for you Bumhead? Seemed alright at PL level a few years ago

Jovetic is an odd one for City. On paper, he Silva and Navas is good but Jm7 won't be happy he doesn't get to play on the right

And lol Fabregas. Barca won't let him leave. I'd rather have Modric

Pls don't believe it. Without cesc, the backups for cm are.....rafinha, Sergi Roberto, afellay(if he isn't sold), ....won't happen.

Fake edit forgot dos shitos.
 
Cavani to PSG, Jovetic to City.

Serie A clubs really have a lot to thank the oil clubs for. Particularly PSG, who has been single-handedly funding the league for the past couple of seasons. The clubs in Italy are generally smart with the use of transfer funds and have managed to improve their squads with these big sales (except for Palermo :-/). Grazie cunts.

Lucky none of them can afford hamsik <3 the legend.

Really sucks, cavani is I think 11 goals away from being napoli's all time top scorer. :(

He's been a pretty consistent performer for Blackpool for a while but I don't think he is what we need. Doesn't score enough and at the moment we either need a fucking lump (Steve Howard) or a natural finisher (Lita) to sit atop of the apex of attacking midfielders we seem to be collecting. Taylor-Fletcher is neither of those things, and we've already got Chris Maguire to provide that bit of guile and intelligence that Taylor-Fletcher has. And Maguire already doesn't play enough.

I dunno. It might work out but I'm not convinced. Would prefer Lita.

Sorry buddy, he is leaving on a free in 2015 to sign for Orlando City.

Probably old news, but the MEN says Fellaini's £23.5m buy-out clause expires on 8/14 at which point Everton would want £30m.

It's not a mere coincidence that Tevez ended up at Juve and Jojo at City. I'm sure there was a gentlemen's agreement between Txiki taka and Marry.
