He was completely useless before this season and his goals has seemed more like luck than actual skills, don't have high hopes for him.

That's what I like to hear. Hope you're right about him :p

I was a bit surprised by that transfer, since they already have a good striker (Altidore).

Aye, but the majority of the players they're buying aren't going to want to slum it up in the Championship and no other normally financed club would pay their wages if they were sold.

They'll just take their wage cuts and go back to what they were on before.

Their co-owners are multi billionaires.

Even so.

It's just such a fucking prudent element of a contract, lol. I dunno if leaving it out is some kind of crucial sweetener to the kind of players they're bringing in or trying to attract.

QPR have 33% of their shares owned by the Mittal family. So long as they're there QPR should be alright.

True. Fernandes will scarper, offloading his share to whatever div is willing to pick it up.
 
Any gif makers knocking about

I want to copy the 'thanks Obama' meme and have some gifs of things going wrong follows by 'Thanks Venkys'

Unoriginal but I feel I could get some mileage from them

Eh, they might be a load of Wayne Bridge's though.

The original waster. The trailblazing blagger.

Of his contract he said, "Why should I throw fifteen million Euro away when it is already mine? At the moment I signed it was in fact my money, my contract."

The philosopher king of cock-rot footballer twats.
 
Mata is apparently ruled out of tomorrow's game...

This is going to be our best chance.

Last I knew he said his ankle was fine? But i've not read anything either way. Now we find out if Rafa has the balls to start Torres and Ba (he won't).

Also, twitter rumours that Benitez asked for two more players this window and the board said no.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

#thfc AVB says Tom Huddlestone has returned to training and is available to face West Brom. No other injury news.

An injury that lasted deadline day. How odd.

I'm going tonight. Quite hyped, I think it will be amazing.

Take in account that I'm very interested in American history. And DDL is an amazing actor.
It's the Mad Men dilemma. DDRL is fabulous, Spielberg is a fine director and I'm sure the movie won't suck. But it ain't my cup of tea, you feel me?

I read he was the most expensive transfer ever in Utrecht's history. Well to comfort you, Ajax most expensive transfer ever was a total disaster.

Correct, he cost us around 3.5 million euros in 2011.
And with 13 goals and 10ish assists in 41 games he wasn't a total fluke, but because of the insane pricetag (for a club like Utrecht) expectations were skyhigh and he never could live up to them.

I consider us quite lucky even that we got 2 million for him now.

Also hope it's a lesson for all future Directors of Football at the club, never EVER spend so much money on one player.
 
Hey bros, I made a formation, I hope you like it:

----------------Rooney----------------------

-------------------RVP-----------------------


United to win 1-3.

Fair fucking play to WBA on this Odemwingie farce by the way. Uppity cunt trying to renege on a contract and sobbing when his transfer request is denied

This would be my favoured as well for what to expect I suppose (obligatory Shinji roam mention). Would be nice to see Nani on the right instead of Tony V.
 
Taylor Swift's latest song always remind me of Pogba :(

[Music video spoken part:]
I think--I think when it's all over,
It just comes back in flashes, you know?
It's like a kaleidoscope of memories.
It just all comes back. But he never does.
I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen.
It's not really anything he said or anything he did,
It was the feeling that came along with it.
And the crazy thing is I don't know if I'm ever gonna feel that way again.
But I don't know if I should.
I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright.
But I just thought, how can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?
Maybe he knew that when he saw me.
I guess I just lost my balance.
I think that the worst part of it all wasn't losing him.
It was losing me.

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

I don't know if you know who you are until you lose who you are.
