Yes Bla! I'm off to have a drink in the sun as we speak.

What's your tipple today?

 

[TheLucifer]

Inzaghi really needs to slap the hipster out of the second coming.

Everybody but Mastour. The second he slaps him Hachim will be on a plane headed to Madrid/Barcelona.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

How do I reduce the size of gifs without losing too many frames? This fucker came out at like 3MB and it's not even that big dimension wise.

Make a webm instead

 

[Yurt]

That rumoured Vidal salary is after tax

Still less.

but yeah, I doubt it's true.

 

[Barzul]

Which top 5 league has the best tax rate for football players?

 

[Coldnoodle]

Age has been good to them. Cazorla especially.

Ozil...

 

[L1NETT]

Yeah but you just said, "they bought crap players. We said that at the time"

I might be misreading this, but assuming you're talking about the players is that not a huge contradiction?

no no no you are misinterpreting me. Apologies, wasn't at all clear. Those two things weren't related, my bad for writing them like that, does look a bit silly I agree.

We said that at the time was in reference to the idea that every assumed Spurs would do really well. I said that people at the time didn't think they would get top 4, that's wasn't in reference to the quality of the players

And yeah,after watching them we brought crap players isn't the most controversial of statements. I didn't say that at the time though, how could I.

 

[brokenbeans]

but literally the only thing you have over us right now is wages, if you can't offer him more *right now* then better luck next season.

If we don't get him this summer we won't be back next summer.

 

[Yurt]

Monaco :lol

 

[Barzul]

Ozil...

I'd still rather have that haircut than Cazorla's

 

[jesalr]

Still haven't officially announced Davies, but we go ahead and show a video with him in it...

 

[Barzul]

Monaco :lol

But it's just unique to them right though? Other French clubs don't get the same tax benefits iirc.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Nothing particularly. Enjoy.



A guy I worked with used to do this all the time.

No doubt

Wilbur defo does this, can sense it

Is Wilbur the guy from the BBC who was always at the stadiums? He made me want to throw my remote at the screen everytime.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Jesus

Yeah, and they all complained about it. :lol

All aboard the Peter Lim money train.

Please look forward to have your team pillaged by Chinese money.

CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS

Makes sense. My mistake then.

Ten million pounds sterling...

China already bought Liverpool a few years back m8

 

[K1LLER7]

Vidal will be on more than Ashley Young but less than Wayne Rooney. #IAMITK

 

[Yager]

I still can't believe we're gonna pay 20M for Mathieu. Fuck you Zubi.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Everybody but Mastour. The second he slaps him Hachim will be on a plane headed to Madrid/Barcelona.

He is the one who needs it. Although he always looks so loveable.

edit: What did you/milan make of his performance at the weekend?

 

[WAR recon zero]

11ma here we go

 

[Jarnet87]

Vidal will be on more than Ashley Young but less than Wayne Rooney. #IAMITK

Can we just do a straight swap of Nani and Rooney for Vidal?

 

[Frustrated_me]

And yet dauntingly, those issues aren't even the biggest of Ancelotti's headaches. Instead, it will be meeting the expectations of Perez's evocative imagination that will prove most troublesome for Los Blancos' manager.

This is a team, remember, that notched 104 league goals last season, the most of any team in Europe, cracking the ton in Spain for a fifth consecutive season to take the club's five-year La Liga tally to a truly absurd 532 goals.

There's not a club on the planet that can match that.

This is a team that wreaked havoc all over the continent, a team that smashed 10 past Galatasaray across two meetings, nine past Schalke and five past the defending European champions, Bayern Munich.

How devastating can it really get? Where do you go from there?

Expecting a greater attacking output again is like asking Tiger Woods to set a scoring average of 62 or Michael Jordan to average 45-a-game.

Yet, by signing Rodriguez, Perez has indicated that's exactly the expectation.

tse, i hope they fail. piece of shit of a team

RRRRRRames is gonna wear #10?

I can't.

lol

/dead

 

[Scum]

What's wrong with Zubi? How hard is it for him to find and sign two CBs and a RB to replace Alves?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Good read - Pressure Now on Carlo Ancelotti to Make Florentino Perez's Galactico Dream Work.

If they played in Serie A they wouldn't see past 70 goals

 

[brokenbeans]

oh how we love German humor here on footy GAF

 

[rvy]

Is Linius still alive? I think the Calatan women got to him. They thought it was a young Cruyff.
Probably locked away in some basement being used as a sex toy by now.

 

[Barzul]

Most expensive midfield ever assembled.

 

[WAR recon zero]

I can't.

lol

Portooooo

Hopefully Quintero destroys that league this year

 

[confuziz]

There are about 10 strikers better than Benzema, I don't understand why they don't dump him.

 

[TheLucifer]

He is the one who needs it. Although he always looks so loveable.

edit: What did you/milan make of his performance at the weekend?

Another good performance, the assist itself was beautiful. He played like 20 minutes iirc, so except from that run, he didn't have the time to shine. Still, it's great to see him at this point while being only 16. My bet is that we'll see him in Serie A even before he's 18 years old.

 

[rvy]

Depends on hooker finances to bribe refs. You're probably in luck, this economic crisis has really brought down the prostitution market. Blowjobs are going for 10 €.

That's like 2 packs of Marlboros. That's how cheap it is.

 

[Horseress]

Most expensive midfield ever assembled.

how do you say "financial fair play" in spanish?

 

[Meier]

Emyr Huws joined Wigan on loan

Good signing, he's meant to be pretty good isn't he? Remember he scored a couple of beauts for the Blues last year.

20 now, probably needs to think about a permanent transfer somewhere

I actually think he'll be with the first team next year when we need to go back to worrying about club-trained players in the UCL. Very good player, would have preferred he get a loan to a PL side but you know that Uwe will look to play him in every game or close to it (assuming the 6-month loan becomes a full year) and that's probably better than sporadic subs and the like which he'd end up getting at Burnley or something.

 

[WAR recon zero]

how do you say "financial fair play" in spanish?

James is financed by ADM sale and some extra capital. Total between him and Kross it does not surpass 60m

Also Khedira and Casillas are going out.

 

[Gurthang]

how do you say "financial fair play" in spanish?

The money Madrid spends is from the Club not from the owner like Man City or PSG.

Well if anything good comes out of it then it's Valencia being competitive again which can only be a good thing in La Liga. I'm hoping we see a stronger Valencia in coming years.

 

[rvy]

El pollo loco.

 

[jesalr]

Because Benzema is a foil for the juggernaut midfield behind him. A *better* striker would demand focus away from the likes of Ronaldo, Bale, et al.

Rafael Hernández ‏@RafaelH117 1m
Former Arsenal player André Santos was doing so bad for Flamengo that both parties decided to rescind his contract. Now a free agent.

Wow. He got beat up by fans yesterday too.

You really think they are gonna let him go back down to the primavera? Twice they asked for special permission for him to play in Serie A before 16. For better or worse Milan are gonna throw him in to a proper game this season. It is also crazy to think that he will make his debut after Pirlo and El Shaarawy

 

[EmiPrime]

You can't seriously believe that.

Susan, I don't care if anything good comes out of it.

Do you think the people in the villages that the vikings pillaged were thinking "Well, I hope they don't run into some ditch on their way home" after having their shit stolen and their women raped?

does this makes any difference as far as FFP goes?
