Saw that one live :/
Gibraltar have just been allowed into UEFA. Perfect timing.
Didn't you hear Perez already said he would do anything to make Cristiano happy? He want to make him the highest paid if necessary.

So he'll work from home? Does that mean no more Patrick on videos?
But that will make all your other players very unhappy, I thought you were trying to be the nice madrid again.
You are underrating Valdes there. He isn't as good as say Casillas but he certainly is above average. There is no guarantee that someone such as ter Stegen will come in and do a better job. Goalkeepers are very hard to replace.
Anyway, I think the comments from Valdes scream that if you don't sell me now you risk losing me for nothing.
He will probably be at Monaco by the start of next season. There is no way Barca will let him go for free.
You should know footballfan is known for saying insane shit about barca lol

Hey man I'm trying to become more like quiche/fady...
edit
My problem is that, other than being a big enough problem by being the shittest goalkeeper in any big club other than Arsenal, he also was a massive distraction. Telling everyone he is leaving 3 months into the season.
The players all thought "oh cool we can go easy this season, we'll just win everything next season when we have an actual goalkeeper"
But now, at the end of the season when everything is done, he says he is staying? :lol
He sounds like a real gentleman.

I'm all for Fellaini now.
Would be a very ideal player. Can both 2 CM roles so he would be a good back up to replace Carrick when needed and can also bring the physical edge to our midfield especially further up the pitch.
He's not perfect but beggars can't be choosers. If we could sign him and then another playmaker-ish type CM it would be perfect cos then we'd have a pivot in Carrick, box-to-box in Fellaini and then a playmaker if we could somehow manage to get Thiago.
This would be so amazing.

Same. Let's see how he does. Having that presence in the field. Carrick is amazing, but he gets overpowered like nothing. Them together, lets go.
Or what Salazar said.

:loooool G-Unit. Says Fellaingod is shit and then admits to have never seen him play
Noted. Although he does have a point about Valdes overrating himself, the guy probably think he's had a huge role in Barca's success.
Thanks for the welcome, only got my account verified a couple of days ago but I've been lurking GAF for a long time. Always had a look in this thread now and then.
I'm a Liverpool fan, although I know that won't be received very well by the majority of this thread! Been a season ticket holder for about three years now.

Reminds me of everyone here when they talk about Neymar.

Also I'm not too worried about Fellaini's elbows, infact I will welcome them.
Always helps to have a dirty bastard player in the team. We're a couple short. Fellaini will take care of that.

A three man midfield of Carrick/Fellaini/Strootman could work.
Fellaini could be the dirty bastard of a player, Carrick the controller and Strootman the chao who runs up and down all day long.
You are handily above Barca, Real Madrid fans. And at least two Bayern fans.
I wouldn't want to fuck with it.

I listened to this weeks and he was on it. I heard he was leaving.
I lost my shit this morning listening to this weeks when they talked about people on YouTube who get tasered and they're like "I'm a Marine, I can handle this."

We won't play with 3 in midfield yo.

Muchly agreed. Would be a fine combo. Fellaini + Thiago + ZahALLAH + another winger would be a grand transfer window, even taking into account potential sales of Nani, Ando and/or Roon.

Fellani would be a good fit for Utd, if they get Thiago as well...the league is over LOL

Moyes will make Leroy Fer his first signing for United.
Professor was talking about his research at a seminar this afternoon - it's on Australia, New York, and London as participants in an accelerated 20th century commercial exchange (or movement, anyway) of literature.
And he mentioned that one of the potential titles for work emerging from his analysis is "The Two-Sided Triangle". I'm going to make sure he chooses it.

Oh god SubtleCloud that picture is sickening but godly at the same time.
Nice!
I like Liverpool! Most Barca fans do actually. Mainly because Liverpool fans seem to hate us the least. Which I am guessing is due to the fact we haven't kicked your ass like we have other teams in recent years.

Because you stopped United from winning 2 more European Cups.
Why would Fellani not be a good signing for United? I think any prem club would love to have the Belgian Monster in midfield.
Yeah he is a bit of a knob but you would all rather you had him on your team than play against me.
---
Also if Villa does come to the prem whereabouts do you think he will end up? Pool, spurs or Arsenal.
Could see all three myself.

LOL it's as if I wrote it.
I think that Liverpool fans can't admire his brilliant on the pitch all season then feel cheated when he wants to move to a club who is playing in the Champions League. He is a world class player who deserves to be playing at the highest level. Since he has joined us, we have finished 6th, 7th and 8th. That's not good enough.
Off the pitch he has dragged his name and our reputation in the dirt. We stood by him over the racism incident a bit naively, no other club would of went to length to defend a player and it backfired. This 'persecution' by the press is laughable, considering he brought it on himself. He deserved all the shit thrown at him with the biting incident.
It would be great if he stayed but I think he's put himself in the shop window now. The only reason his agent has came out and denied he wants the move is because of the loyalty fee he would pocket if a move to Madrid would come off.
We played with two in midfield during the Fergus era. I always want to see us playing with wingers but I wouldn't mind seeing us play a bit differently from time to time.
There's no point in appointing a new manager and telling him to implement the exact same style as his predecessor.

Wait....you sound like a Liverpool fan who's head is screwed on the right way.
Holy shit. A rare breed. Like finding a shiny Charizard.
The last two episodes have been really good. The latest in particular. They knocked it out the park right at the end with that.
I rewound and listened again and again.

He's going to implement whatever style he thinks is best.
Judging from his time at Everton 4-4-2 is here to stay.
