Have we signed Schötze yet?

I've been born and raised here, and even I have to admit, that other German cities are far more beautiful than Cologne. But somehow I cannot immagine living anywhere else within the country. There's just something special around here.
It is definately not the beer m8.
There's worse cities in Germany starting with a K.

Fritz Walter is sad
if he wasn't dead
I mean, it's not all bad there. Great university, wonderful woods and the people are much nicer than in many other parts of Germany.
Looking like it'll be about £100m.
Are the FA finally growing a spine?
There are going to be so many "but but but its a mans sport" comments too. Mic the refs up too while you're at it.
Maybe one day?

EDIT: I'm getting a FM itch again, I get it every summer during transfer muppetry. Then I play for a week and realise I'm shit at it.

That was before exchange rates went low.

Seems it still equates to the 120 euro they are after.
Also, they may well still have euro reserves from other sales.
Dortmund's kicking it off.

Negredo's a mile past his prime but still a good get for a team just up from the second division.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Hope Boro stay up
Totally insane though.
Meh. Its got the quad tax of his age, our need, our money and Juve not wanting to let go.
It's a mental amount of money but its not like it's not there to be spent. The problem is that everyone knows it and so you get rinsed.
One chart that got posted on the muppetfest at redcafe was showing that as a percentage of our annual turnover, even at £100m it's less than Ferdinand or Veron cost.

The medical in England showed Subotic needs surgery on his ribs, is out for the rest of the year and is thus staying at Dortmund.

Wish I knew what happened behind the scenes when he was at CIty. Was banging them in in the first half of the season, 23 goals by January got injured then totally disappeared. Bought on a four year deal in the summer of 2013 and sold in the summer of 2014. Really unusual, Pellegrini said they sold him because he was home sick and he made a statement that he was nothing of the sort.

You're talking about investing a mental amount of money on a player probably worth half that, at best. Then throw on top of that the fact that he was in United's Academy and it becomes outright laughable.
Further, it's all the hidden costs that could kill off United in the long run. How much is the agent pocketing off this? What about Pogba's wages, do they fit with current United wage structure?
The whole thing is nuts and if it was Chelsea or City making such a ridiculous overspend then they would be rightfully lambasted for it.

SZ says that Götze is almost done, 23m, could be announced this week.
Well, yeah, let's just get it over with.

Even though he is a gobshite I think The True Gordie put it best. United dropped one hell of a bollock.

Whatever it was, Negredo never recovered his form in Valencia. Still worked hard but couldn't get any separation from defenders. At this point he's the classic 9 who can score occasionally in the air but won't add much when the ball's on the ground.
Of course they would, any club should be. But PL clubs fork out over the top all the time, it's become normal because of the TV deal and sugar daddies and its only going to get worse with the new deal. Ultimately, it ain't my money and United have the revenues to deal with it.
I'm not worrying about the long term costs, I'm not sure why anyone who doesn't support United would either. They wouldn't be spending this kind of money unless they thought they could do so and they have the revenues to back it up. I've no doubt some players will be out the door too. Surely the hope of seeing United fall off the pedestal they built themselves is the dream of every Pool and City fan?
That Fergie let him go and we are paying this much to bring him back is utter madness and I have to wonder what he thinks about it. Though if its the guy you want that bad, nothing should stop it. Had it been Real that let Ronaldo go they still would have taken him back.
The speculation is that Raiola owns 20% of Pogbas registration, so he'll get his cut out of the transfer fee since you can't do that in the UK. No idea on the wages.
He's not worth £100m today, nor was Martial worth £50m, the list goes on at every top club in the country with money to burn. Torres was arguably worth £50m, that went to shite.
Fuck, we're living in a world where Troy Deeney can't go to the champions of the PL for £30m.
Next you're gonna sell Aubameyand and sign Gomez.
Madness. As mad as Big Sam being England coach.
Thanks man.

Allardyce will have a clear idea of what he wants the England team to play like, unlike every manager since Venables or Hoddle.
I oouldn't give a toss how England play, internationals are about results, and I think Allardyce will do a lot better than Hodgson or Capello.

He was pretty good under Neville though. Had some crazy wonder strikes like the one against Rayo.
Hnnnng.
You at the match?
Yeah, that's where I stand too, Sam will play his style of football, not try and play like Barca or anyone else, and it'll work much better, as we don't have good enough players to play like Roy tried to. I don't think he'll just pick players based on their name and team either, which has always been England's problem, picking names and forcing them to play together even if that mean they play in the wrong positions.
