No brainer, really.
Watching Bundesliga highlights from week 17. Fuck, Ter Stegan's going to be a brilliant keeper. Shakiri and Gotze are both class. Mainz play lovely football.

Barca will be on the lookout for a keeper with good distribution.
That leaves Hart shit out of luck.

Wilshere doesn't want to emulate Scholes cos he wants the honour of playing with him.
Ter Stegen is really good... Adler has been awesome as well. The NT won't need a new GK for more than a decade.
Glad the Bundesliga is back this weekend.
He's already resigned to never winning the league then. Sad to see.
If DDG really goes to Barca then who would United get?
If they followed the same route as last time then our number one target would be Ter Stegen.
But Fergie might not want to go down the young keeper route again....
All hypothetical of course. Don't see us selling this summer.

Ter Stegen to Barca has been rumored for some time already. I think he said something like "I don't want to go to Barca", too, although that means nothing of course. But he's not ready for a top club yet.
Begović sounds like the best bet.
People with deep mental issues, I guess.

I kind of respect someone who has feelings he can't help but never acts on them though, must be hell for them
I honestly think its the most I've laughed in that thread ever, seriously.

Valdes the cunt, is jumping ship. I wonder which retarded management will give him what he wants.
Krul?

Kenwyne Jones wouldn't be cup tied, maybe that's who Wenger really wants.
Still, I think only someone with money to burn can get Cavani, plus as Wenger says, cup tied is no good for them.

Why did he say he was interested in Cavani and then go and say that after? It's like he doesn't bother to check if a deal is even possible before talking about it. He did the same thing with Holtby as well.
Kenwyne Jones could end up with us if we don't sort something out soon.
I wished it was true then Cavanapoli would be no more!

Wenger was joking about Cavani. He even said some crap about how his banker lives nextdoor and he's going to go and ask him.
It was a silly rumour and he just ran with it.

Anyone else heard the rumour regarding City going after 17 year old Will Hughes who plays for Derby. He plays in their first team already and looks quite a player having started around 26 consecutive games for them so far this season.
Platt has been to watch him a few times.

Nah because Stoke would want this thing called money. Not sure Levy would agree with them.
He's just trying hard to give off the, "I've been very active in the transfer window!" vibe to cheer people up.
I saw this earlier today. Fel out?
You must be trolling now.

He never learns does he?
You've got me confused. I don't understand how I am trolling. Unless I'm trolling myself unintentionally?!
Edit: I see it was posted at 6pm. I don't have time to go and read the whole bloody thread :lol I genuinely didn't see it!
Seen him play a few times. He's really rather exceptional for such a young age. Very confident and has quick feet.
He's been linked to at least a dozen premier league sides though so until something more definitive is known... Anyway, I don't think he'll leave until the Summer and if he did I think he'd be loaned back to Derby to continue his progress.

And yesterday :lol
So we're going to offer Sneijder an offer that means he'd have to cut a third of his salary, but one that puts him alongside the likes of Suarez, Gerrard, Agger, and Pepe. Let's see if his comments about his decision being about football, and not purely financial, were wind. Galatasary will offer slightly more than us, almost £20,000 more per week, but he'd be playing in Turkey (in the Champions League, though).
I expect the circus to erupt tomorrow. All papers have been briefed of our 'interest' today, so we'll see if we're bullshitting slightly, too.
After the furore this week regarding player ages and contracts, this is the sort of signing FSG could really do with.

hmm, very interesting! Thank you for your input, it's much better than "oh he must be trolling now". Even "posted yesterday" is more useful than that. Like Viva

Neuer is really inconsistent though. So are other young German keepers (still much less so, than say - Hart, but Neuer is not really all that young anymore.

That wouldn't have been necessary if you ever read this thread.
Is Zieler a good keeper?
What's going on? Are Liverpool interested or are you extracting the urine with some ITK shenanigans?
Well, 26 is still relatively young for a GK. I don't think it's fair to call Neuer inconsistent, yes his playstyle is high risk but Adler, for example, had just as many mistakes in the first half of the season. The only difference is that Adler gets to save 10-12 balls every game (compared to Neuer's 3-5), it's hard to judge if you are not watching the Bayern games but Neuer is really good at defusing the situation before there's any danger.
He's like Joe Hart.

Turkey has a significantly lower tax rate though, so that difference in earnings is actually quite a bit more than that.
A champion?

If Galatasaray are going to pay him £100k after tax Liverpool have to pay him £200k to match it...
Why is it every time I've been hard at work I return to this?
I'm suing you Yenrot. You'll be as broke as your back
Don't know...
He wants to take him on loan till summer with option of buying him if desired. To be fair, I don't him. He seem to be too rebellious to follow simple instructions...
Vey interesting. Sneijder can play in the best league in the world© but take a cut in wages, or go to Turkey, where careers go to die. Your call, Wes.
Echo, Times (Barrett), Guardian (Hunter), all saying we want him, but we'd require him to accept reduced wage demands. Specifically, around a third less than what he currently earns at Inter. Sneijder commented earlier in the week to declare his preference to remain patient in the face of an offer from Galatasary, because his decision would be football based, not wholly financially.
Ayre talked earlier this week about offering revised contracts based on player performance, as well as image rights, and I imagine Sneijder falls under this bracket. Whilst his basic salary would match that of our highest earners, if he performs as his status says he should then he'll raise that amount quite considerably. With him being 28, too, it's probably as old as FSG are willing to go in the wake of the Joe Cole fiasco, in terms of securing older players on hearty contracts.
I'm intrigued. Every paper is running with this tomorrow, so Liverpool have leaked this interest purposefully. This comes from Liverpool. Whether it's FSG trying to appease supporters by offering the illusion of grander designs for the club, I'm not sure, but if we do manage to swoop and capture him, it'll put to rest many of the arguments some fans have about player profile, and be a welcome addition for the likes of Gerrard, who wants to see abled competitors rather than just young talents.
We've saved £160,000 on further wages this window, and whilst a small portion of that is going to Sturridge, there's still a large enough kitty to pay Sneijder without going over.
Liverpool will offer him around £65,000 to £80,000 after tax. This puts him in the top wage bracket, alongside other established senior internationals. It also precludes performance based bonuses and image rights deals, so the potential to reach that £100,000 figure is still evident.
It's whether Wes accepts that, or would rather guarantee a far stabler wage package in an inferior league, playing with worse players.
I'm trying not to get hyped.
Pep went to the Bundesliga, anything can happen.
