Fuck

Titus.

Such a brilliant forename, though. If he wasnt such an incompetent athlete we might see it used more.

The other angle is fucking damning (in terms of footballing competence, not physique)

Just square up, for fucks sake.

What happened to this guy?
There was all this hype about him and now nobody really talks about him.

He's had a very poor season for Bilbao.

Played 32 games in La Liga and only managed 1 goal and 1 assist. He's only 20 though, so he still has time to improve. I think Bilbao's on and off field problems haven't helped his progress.

His middle name is Malachai.

Pretty funny/depressing as shit that a bloke, who is being paid 30k+ a week, his most redeeming quality is his fucking name.

Rumours: Belgium first choice CB Vermaelen can leave #afc while reserves Zenit's Nic Lombaerts & Ajax's Toby Alderweireld are #epl bound.

Damn, that's worse than Valencia's stats. Maybe he should move to another club. Liverpool perhaps.

Messi is only 12 goals away from matching Raul's all time champions league goal scoring record. Ronaldo is currently 9 goals behind Messi at the moment. Whats amazing is how young they are, particularly Messi.

Alderweireld, ey?

Perhaps the rumours were true. How reliable is this account? Mirror reporting that we're close to that Aspas fella too. Strange window, this. Just want Papadopoulos and a bowl of Crunchy Nut.

Springsteen's Tunnel of Love is an amazing album. Failing marriages just seem to bring out the best in artists. Another case in point: U2's Achtung Baby.

Lol, Büttner's agent is a funny guy. Büttner isn't in the national selection for the Asia trip we're doing and some other back player who hardly every plays at Feyenoord is. So his agent said: "Maybe Van Gaal think he's German, because of the umlaut mark on his name" :p

You can have him as part of the Alderwiereld/Eriksen deal.

Doubt we still want him. But I think he would be a good player for us.

I wonder what will happen to Assaidi. Saw he's bound to leave this summer.

Didn't he burn bridges with Ajax when he picked us after agreeing to join them in principle? If not I'd love a player + cash exchange for Eriksen but he's sadly off to Dortmund.

Not even gonna lie, I'd like Vermaelen at Newcastle. Aside from always happening in FIFA 13, it will never happen in real life though.

Comments like this are sure to change Van Gaal's mind, lol.

You'll be playing one of your 10s out wide, then ?
Coutinho's done a lot of his good work on the left of a front three anyway, so we know he's capable. Both him and Eriksen possess the necessary speed and trickery in a one v one to do a job there.

Henderson's (invaluable) job in the team for the last few months has been tirelessly drifting around in the midfield to cover gaps left by the more creative players.

Could be a moot point anyway if Eriksen joins Dortmund (which is the likely destination at the moment).

Yeah, it's not very likely we're still interested. And I also think Ajax wants to cash as much as possible for Eriksen instead of player involved deal. Just let Dortmund pay a large sum of money.

Xavi semi-confirming Thiago's wish to leave?

"Thiago is a special player, not for the future, but for the present. Understand that I want the best for him, he doesn't have the continuity he wants, it also happened to me. I would say be patient, here at the club he has all the qualities to succeed. To stay or go is up to him, and what he wants but he is destined to triumph at Barcelona should he stay. There are many players with very good qualities & competitive, it happened to me as well."

Goal: City will "stun" English football "say sources" with a £120m spree to sign Cavani, Fernandinho, Isco, Thiago, Navas and Novaretti.

@Citywatch

Prepare to be stunned guys.

Jesus Navas has severe homesickness/anxiety issues which means it's unlikely he is leaving Spain.

He hasn't had that problem for a while now.

Leave your hands off Cavani. He wants to come to Real Madrid, he's whole family has basically played with the idea and we seem interested.

They can have Fernandinho, Thiago, Navas and Novaretti.

I guess financial fair play is only there for clubs like Malaga. The sad part is clubs like Ajax may be perpetually stuck on 4 champion league titles due to "fair play".

Is Silva leaving this summer? Nasri? Dzeko? Tevez? That's a lot of clearing to do.
