Harry Redknapp just revealed Rennes turned down 28m euros just a year and a half ago for M'Villa. QPR are signing him for a third of that.

 

[sazabirules]

Are QPR selling anyone this window? How can they afford to spend so much on wages? Especially when they're be playing in the Championship next season.

 

[Clegg]

And now M'Vila has 5 months to prove himself in the Premier League.

So when QPR go down another PL team can decide if he's worth the bother.

 

[fuenf]

I think that's a pretty fair point tbh.

I think the difference between them is negligible. Neuer is a great football player and can do almost everything in the field.

 

[Messi]

Can't wait for some awesome summer transfers.

Pep is not so good at transfers lol. It's like he is playing FM in a joke save

 

[kingkaiser]

Another one:

Tough job for Pep Guardiola. He'll have to teach Arjen Robben how to pass the ball.

Yeah, I can already see it...

Pep: So Arjen, pass the ball to your next free team-mate
Arjen: pulls to the middle, shots at target
Pep: No no, play the ball to your team-mate
Arjen: pulls to the middle, shots at target
Pep: God damn, pass the fucking ball!
Arjen: pulls to the middle, shots at target, hits Kroos in face
Pep: *facepalm* ...better...

I assume there will be relegation release clauses, wage cuts, etc.

But Remy, Cisse, Zamora, Park, M'Vila and Granero will all be on huge wages. It's just a matter of sustaining them for half a season and then either getting rid, or the TV money coming in and making it possible to keep them.

 

[Clegg]

The Mittal family have a stake in QPR.

They have billions to spend.

 

[fuenf]

Heh, that italian newspaper (/twitter personality) is awesome after all.

This is awesome for Bundesliga in a "made ya'll bitches look" kind of way, lol
Lots of exposure.

As I already said yesterday, I'm fine with that. Pep could mean a lot of things:

- for a while he'll surely play the same system Bayern are already playing (don't see him benching Gomez and going with Müller as false9 + they don't have the players for a carbon copy of Barca). In time he might add some better players (Xavi could go there for retirement, lol) - but we could too, who knows..

- he hasn't proven himself outside of Barca so there's a chance he might fail at other clubs (kind of like AVB) + there's no Messi around, lol - Mou would probably be a safer bet for Bayern in that regard

- there is lots of potential for controversy and drama (especially if he benches some "important" players and they'll come crying to Ulli)
Even when he comes with a holly aura, WurstUlli & Rummgefigge can and will fuck his ass up if he goes against their interests - they've fucked up a number of managers before..

- it still doesn't hamper our ability to consistently rank in 2-3, make it to round of 16 in CL and beat Schlolke - which are the only really important goals to me.

- this increases the chance of Klopp staying for an even longer period of time because knowing his personality he'll go: "Fuck yeahz! Challenge accepted, mofo".

So yeah, in a nutshell: bring it on, Klopp: "challenge accepted", etc.

I almost forgot this great post. I agree with everything you've said. I'm still excited for Pep. though.

I hope there are no clubs that are dumb enough to not include those things in contracts.

 

[Steverulez]

I remember reading something a couple of months ago that said that there aren't any/many relegation clauses in players contracts at QPR, and if they go down they're stuck with these players.

No I wouldn-

Oh.

Llorente can finish.

Err ... you haven't seen Gomez, right?

 

[raiot]

This is definitly one of the funniest things I read the last few days

 

[Yurt]

Err ... you haven't seen Gomez, right?

I'm pretty sure he meant "can finish his pass".

 

[rodvik]

Bayern eh? Cool. Should be fun to see what he can do!

 

[Randdalf]

Is Chelsea-Scumhampton not on TV?

 

[Nyx]

Ban betting (1 month) that we'll see a Trappatoni-Style "Flasche Leer!" meltdown conference in Pep's second year! (If Pep loses his job before the 2nd year I win, too!)

I bet Pep will copy Van Gaal.

''Wir zind ze best of Dortmund, wir zind ze best of Gelsenkirchen, wir zind ze best of Berlin, wir zind ze best of Germany.....''

 

[Steverulez]

Chelsea XI against Southampton: Cech, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Ba. #CFC

Lampard as captain, Ba up front... I like it.

 

[rodvik]

Obligatory.

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Seeing reports that Suarez is being a prick again. Such an unfair reputation he has.

 

[3Sixty]

Always wait for starting lineups before placing first scorer bets. Lambert on the bench

Top guy. Or a cunt. Just can't decide.

 

[dc89]

Didn't Javi Martinez reject City in favour of Bayern too?

:lol

Massive betrayal.

He'll bring Javi when he finally shows his face at City. Txiki and Ferran will always welcome Pep with open arms. The welcome party isn't cancelled, it's just postponed.

Harry Redknapp just revealed Rennes turned down 28m euros just a year and a half ago for M'Villa. QPR are signing him for a third of that.

Wow! Arsenal & City we're keen.

Pep is not so good at transfers lol. It's like he is playing FM in a joke save

Do Bayern have a equal to Txiki?

 

[fuenf]

Lol Peps agent is telling sport.es that Pep already signed the contract in December, he chose Bayern because they have the best team and his salary is less than he could've gotten elsewhere.

 

[Lightning]

I so hope we win! It will be infuriating to go out this early in the competition.

 

[Mastadon]

Top guy. Or a cunt. Just can't decide.

Top cunt.

Just the same old "United control everything" bollocks they spend their time worrying about.

I'm not even sure what to make of you anymore. Do you actually believe all this crap you go on about? :lol

In the GAF club team we score when we can. Even if we are behind 10-0 and get that 10-1 goal we celebrate by dancing and rapping.

 

[Ushojax]

2 games in 3 days for Diaby? Wenger never learns.
