Oh I remember that very well :lol
Who?
Just like Chelsea got Modric, right?
damn you cazorla diving against west brom
damn youuuuuuuuuu
I hope I didnt end up on to many ignore lists in the last days. I'm sorry if i was a lil excessive but I only got u, GAF. Most of my friends don't care that much about football. Plus the CL was pretty crazy after what happened last year. So yeah. I'm trying to calm down a lil in the future 
(of course there will always be moments where this might not work )

That would be the transfer of the year right there (for Liverpool, of course).

Lol, Agnelli own goal. What the hell was the GK doing on the second? Also, an assist from Inzaghi is something really strange. Like, the Universe should collapse at this point.

Please tell me the Spearing stuff is a joke. £12 million? You could buy 12 French players for that, and they wouldn't look like EDL supporters.
It's obviously a joke. He's on loan to a Championship side ffs
The UN should step in and do something about how fucking pathetically powerless Arsenal fans are during transfer windows.

I had no idea he was on loan, thought Newcastle were gonna pull some Alan Smith level shit.
Just like how we were delusional to think RVP would sign for us?
Why do you wanna fall for that heart break again? Footballing world is full of surprises and shocks and anything can happen. Who would have guessed Moutinho,Falcao and Rodriguez would have signed for Monaco 3 months back. Anything can happen.
By anything i mean, Ronaldo could sign for City, Cesc for United and Rooney for Arsenal.
He was beasting in the Championship. Won Bolton's PotY award.
Why? Fabregas is a fringe player wasting his best years on the Barcelona bench or as a bizarre false 9.
United are a team that win silverware, have a gaping hole in their midfield and can afford him. I don't see it happening because Barcelona -> United just feels odd but why wouldn't they have a chance of getting him? He's wasting his time at Barca.

Where did you read that? Sounds very unlikely to me, especially Mandzukic. And with de Bruyne, Eriksen, Bernard and Deulofeu, there are enough rumors for a Götze replacement.

According to the British Brand Finance Institute Bayern München is the biggest football brand on this planet. Its $860m worth. Second place is Man U with $837m. Madrid comes third with $621m and Barca is fourth with a total value of $572m. While Man U lost 20m of value Bayern gained around 50m.
Bayern sold 600.00 shirts in 2012. They predict 1m for 2013.

That makes no sense. First of all, United have more fans. Second, United have the most sponsors. Third, United now have the new PL tv shit pumping in money.

This is about the valuation of the brand name of the club, right? Not actual worth of the club itself

Doesn't matter what really, it is all numbers plucked out of arses, just the same as the Forbes one.
Now is the question, who beats who?

Conte is very content
So a manager who is rumoured to go to Chelsea is now rumoured about that he might want Jovetic and the rumours are that Chelsea is willing to pay up to 29 million.
I love transfer muppetry.
Well it isn't much of a rumour anymore. Everyone knows it is going to happen.

Fucking Chelsea trying to take away Juvetic.
As long as it's not happening they it's still rumours. Eriksen leaving Ajax is a rumour too

Thiago and Manchester United
Thiago is considering his future. The fact that he has not played 60 per cent of games this season (30 minutes of a match is, in his contract, considered a game, but he has only got to 47% of games played this season) means that his buy out clause will be 18 million euros till the 1st of August. So the Barcelona midfielder would like his future sorted soon one way or another.
There is more than one club interested in him. United (and others) are definitely thinking of activating that clause but they have to be convinced the player will accept leaving Barcelona. And that is easier than they probably think.
Thiago is a very ambitious young man, who has already declared in the past that it will be no problem leaving Barcelona and continuing his career somewhere else. His dad and agent, the former Brazilian international Mazinho, has put in his head that sometimes it is better to be the leader in a smaller club or to go abroad to reach your targets (be a regular with the national side, for instance). Mazinho, who used to play for Celta when he became a regular with Brazil, would not mind Thiago going abroad at a top club to be able to play in the 2014 Brazil world cup (even though Thiago would play with Spain) and also to play regularly, something he is not getting at Barcelona. He is seen in the Catalan club as a replacement for Xavi but his preferred position is closer to goal, more like an Iniesta then.
So the club that decides to activate the clause has a very good chance of convincing the player too. Barcelona will try to keep him of course, but with such a cheap buy out clause, it is all down to the footballer who will have to be convinced he will be a more important part of the Barcelona team next season to stay at the Camp Nou.
Notice, I AM NOT SAYING HE IS GOING TO UNITED, but that there are clubs willing to pay his buy out clause and the player considering his options. That is the stage we are in at the moment

We didn't steal Mata? Wenger refused to pay the price with a lower release clause, he signed a new deal, we swooped for £6m more.
I highly doubt Wenger would be prepared that sort of money on him anyway.
