Here's Spanish buy-out clauses explained:



VAT in Spain is 21% now I believe.

Interesting.

 

[Vivalaraza]

That last bit obv isn't true though - see Martinez/Bayern.

My thought too. Makes me wonder whether they've just got it wrong or whether the legal position has shifted since. Given the harmonisation of commercial law in the EU it wouldn't surprise me if it had.

NOOOOOOOO

Tony Hibbert will be amazing in our midfield.

 

[Arnie]

I wonder what we'd do if Thiago decides not to join us. Would we keep looking for a technically gifted midfielder or change plans and go for a big hard bastard ala Fellaini?

Probably continue looking at technically gifted midfielders like Leon Osman.

I guess a lot of it depends on how Moyes is going to approach Europe, which I would imagine intrigues most people. I am strangely looking forward to seeing the subtle differences in his domestic/CL approaches.

 

[Koko]

Beyond: Two Souls at 34.99 looks really tempting, but I know next to nothing of the game.

This has gone just about how I expected it to.

Moysey better get on the blower to Woodword. Tell him we need to make some good signings.

Cleverley is better. Would start Januzaj ahead of him too.

Damn, even Phil Jones in midfield would be better than him. Would Thiago be able to stop Ronaldo, Neymar and Bale from playing well? Nope.

Muppetry is something completely different.


It consumes you.

Shut up you bloody pansy's. He's coming chill out.

I love the backtracking after a failed signing. Don't lose hope yet boys, Moyes will get it done for you.

He isn't coming. My Sources say another PL club has turned his head.

Isco has signed for Madrid

Heard it here first!

I don't think that's right with everything.

Just look at Martinez last summer, Bilbao didn't agree with a sale at all. Yet, Bayern activated that release clause (I think they gave Martinez a check). So at least it isn't a Spain-only agreement.

Edit: Damn, I'm pretty slow lol

 

[K1LLER7]

Sources tell me Isco will be a Man City player within the next 14 days.

I think so too. I think the article got that wrong (It's a few years old). Certainly that's not the legal position any longer wrt inter-EU parties making signings.

Get on the next train to Manchester and go sort this shit out horse.

Or you can just gallop there if you want.

I honestly think it's down to the player now. Barca are obviously going to make a final attempt to dissuade him. Sounds like he's more inclined to join atm.

 

[Arnie]

Well we actually have signed a Spanish foetus today, and he looks pretty good.

Rodgers is going HAM for technique, something he said he'd do from the very first day. At least we've got a strategy.

 

[Error]

Cunt was probably fishing for a wages upgrade. He probably didn't want to leave, just using the Utd offer as leverage to get a better contract with Barça.

 

[Plasma]

Fuck Felliani. I would rather Arsenal send that money to Sociedad for Asier Illaramendi but it won't happen, neither will Felliani.

Eh I'd rather have Fellaini, we need to hit the ground running and he'll be able to fit right in to our midfield. Illaramendi will probably need time to adjust to PL.

 

[K1LLER7]

"Barca genuinely didn't expect it to get to this. I think, like United with Pogba, they're a bit stunned it's happening."

Difference is they'll keep him or he'll go to another PL team.

"Barca genuinely didn't expect it to get to this. I think, like United with Pogba, they're a bit stunned it's happening."

Just like I said yesterday. Like us with the Pogtrayer, they counted too hard on a player's loyalty to sit it out and wait for game time.

Read this whilst looking at a picture of his bitchy little face and, like a jigsaw, the picture falls into place.

 

[subtles]

That Brendan Tiki Taka around Moyes' boys will be glorious.

A sight to behold.

 

[K1LLER7]

Who's they guy in the middle?

He looks happy. Something good must have happened for Barca

Thiago sucks anyway so I don't care anymore.

Wouldn't be surprised with Rodgers

I'm not impressed.

Seriously, he might be good, he doesn't look great in this video.

Music's great though. Fucking hypnotising.

 

[Lightning]

Where would you play Fellaini, in who's position? Currently we have Arteta, Wilshere and Cazorla as our midfielders when everyone is fit.

Anxious to see just how good Mignolet actually is.

Nobody watches Sunderland if they don't have to, and their defence is so shit it's hard to properly gauge him.

He's Belgian, though, which is a good start.

We don't get Thiago.

They don't get Isco.

A noble compromise.

 

[Ushojax]

Usho, I want you to be prepared for Sandro to return at a level below what he was setting before his injury. Lucas was arguably the most effective defensive midfielder in the league before his ACL, and he returned noticeably diminished, even before that thigh injury that kept him out for slightly longer.

I don't think you can expect him to resume beast mode immediately.

Oh I don't, I'm just pleased to have him back. It will be well into 2014 before he's ready to reclaim his mantle, that's if he stays injury free. Most important thing is that he takes as long as he needs to recover fully. Thankfully Paulinho will be here so we won't have to wheel Parker out anymore.

Baldini now, no? Fucking push over I'd imagine.

Baldini is the Mouth of Sauron. He is bound to Levy's will.

Mate he's absolute top. Cech, De Gea, Mignolet. The holy trinity of PL goalkeepers.

isco for 30m? thought for sure he will be sold for less now that malaga is not in cl

and what happens to ozil?

i don't know if we really needed this signing

we need a replacement for alonso

 

[Milchmonster]

Wasn't the reason they wanted Martinez to pay it himself that they thought there'd be taxes on Bayern giving him the money?

I still don't get why we (instead of Bilbao) have to pay Osasuna 800000€. Fucking bullshit.

Yeah, of course. I don't think Martinez wanted to do it himself that bad.

Spoiler

Dude should have just ran the fuck away with Bayern's 40m lol
