Then he'll put his pen down on the desk, sit back and smile triumphantly as if he's said something really profound.

Nope, that was Subotic who then said dreams don't always have to come true and signed a new contract.
It's everyone's dream to play in England.

Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Zenit have agreed to terms with Milan to get Ignazio Abate.
Saw this interview in the Times earlier. New hero.

Genuine quotes from his motd analysis.

Frank Lampard is 34 years old, but his age is irrelevant #motd

I can't tell you how good that pass is there... I really can't #MOTD
This is so good. Proper lolling away. It's okay, Alan. Take your time.
Joe Allen feels incredibly overpriced when you consider his output on the stat sheet but it seems like he has done a nice job (for the most part) of making their engine run.
I think Zaha for that amount seems like a fine deal personally. If City can get Isco for 17m, it might seem a bit high but transfers don't exist in a bubble. If you want a guy, you pay up.

Isco would be a steal at £17m imo.
lol
I do now.
He's scored 31 out of 31 penalties... he must have some confidence in his penalty taking ability #motd
I quite like Allen to be honest, he's just nothing compared to the Black Valencia.
But yeah, Isco would be a bargain at that price. I think Zaha is expensive but it's not as if we haven't shelled out for youth before. I remember when we bought Ronaldo and wondering why we'd spent 12m on some youth player instead of replacing Beckham properly. Smalling was 10m as well and he'd been playing non-league football six months before.

Isco won't go for under his minimum fee release clause of 25 million Euros. Malaga said today that Isco is close to signing a contract extension which will raise his release clause to ridiculous levels.
Even 25m would be great; he and Götze are the stand out talents in that position for me at the moment regarding youth, as they are for most people I suppose.

Vela's a cunt, bro.
Our lot of money leeching cunts relegated us.
Probably asked Shola to take training because he's got a more astute tactical mind

Nah. Shearer did. Then he brought in Ian Dowie for extra lols.
I would say Newcastle are a more *ahem* fervent fanbase than Villa. At least in recent years. The Holte enders have not really stuck behind the team the past few seasons. I think it'll depend on ticket prices.
In other news, I've just started playing Path of Exile. Seems rather decent.
I have no idea who Ian Dowie is.
And probably best it remains that way.
edit: actually name is ringing a bell.
I genuinely just laughed my tits off in the silent area of a library.
I'm crashing and my defences are down and the Zibedidoodah just destroyed me.
You can't lose something you never had, dicknipple.
That face would get Barcelona relegated.

I don't disagree at all. 25m is still good for a player that looks like he'll be every bit as good as (if not better than) the likes of Silva, Cazorla and Mata.
I'd love for United to be in for him at pretty much any cost.

I'm not sure where you got €25m from -- Isco's release clause is €20m Euro/£17m. City could obviously activate it at any time... I'm not entirely sure why we haven't and then just offered to loan him back for the remainder of the season if Malaga don't want to part with him. He would be perfect for the team. Malaga has said repeatedly he is close to signing an extension with a higher clause.. we'll see if it truly happens or not.
I bet your wage bill is so high that FFFP will come into play if you spend any more money this season.

Mourinho doesn't fancy him obviously.
It's entirely possible. City have done a lot and continue to do a lot to battle FFP but perhaps Soriano and co won't bring on any salary at all until some has gone out.
It was revealed that Txiki considers Isco and Beñat his top two targets so Mou would just have to grin and bear it if he came on board. I think we're stuck with Mancini though personally.. I think he'll get another year.

I stand somewhat corrected - it seems to be 21m Euros according to most reports.
Probably why he wants to leave though, you're not doing as well as he would expect and he's carrying the entire team.
It's been turned down though, hasn't it?

What team do you reckon you will stick out at the weekend?
I thought it was €21m but I converted euros to pounds and £17m is about €20m at current rates. Must be they just drop off the extra £800k when reporting it.
