Surely we must have something special lined up - Adidas will practically insist upon it!
I wouldn't mind Messi.Surely we must have something special lined up - Adidas will practically insist upon it!
Just what I thought, we'll either buy someone or we won't. More soon.
There was no legally binding release clause, just a gentlemans agreement that Pedro would be let go this summer for 30m.
Barca were able to choose when the player would be let go, saying it was all just about the form of the payment, and keeping Pedro for the cup games while Neymar was injured obviously was going to suit them. If there had been no transfer ban and they could have replaced him then it would have been different.
In the end the player could have gone to United if he'd wanted to. They offered enough money. He just preferred Chelsea. And I'm not going to cry over a player who would have done that.
Poor Monaco.

Muppet Oh yeah thats me in a nut shell. I reckon a few million quid probably means more to Barca than keeping a player who's about to leave happy, don't you?Jesus, why do muppets always think that the players have no say in these things? If Pedro wanted to go to United he'd be going there.
Really, it would be interesting to know how you actually "generate" all that revenue? You don't have a very big stadium. Your fan base is very small compared to other clubs who are known across the world. That leaves you mainly with TV money and sponsorship deals. Many of your sponsorships are connected to UAE (surprisingly!) and thus you can try to boast of a big revenue stream. Still it is really interesting to see City splurge so much cash even if we agree to the amortised theory because you have bought players in previous windows who have cost a lot and they will still be showing as part of your expenditure.
They thought Depay was going to Liverpool, they said we had no interest in Schniderlin, they said Schweinsteiger was going to stay in Bayern, they knew feck all about Darmain and said we were after Clyne. Not to mention the numerous players they have linked us to, but yeah, they haven't got much wrong.So we're only allowed to believe mitten, luckhurst and co when they say things we like ? For all the bollocking english press have received on here, i've not seen them to far off the mark this summer.
I'm yet to see what they have got badly wrong.
They said from day one we didn't want otamendi, said we dropped our interest in clyne a few weeks before he signed for liverpool also were the only ones adamant that we're interested in both bfs and schnederlin when most of the caf thought it was one or the other (myself included)
I think they generally get alot of flack they haven't earned this year. Maybe exclude mitten, he deserves some shit but luckurst and the other men journalists for sure.
From a financial perspective it's been bloody brilliant, I don't think anyone could do deny we're far stronger now than the end of the season, only spent £10m or so net and cut about half a million off the weekly wage bill.So much for we are trying to buy the league, that's £8m net spend and also our wage bill changes will mean we are probably better off, we have a much younger team than our rivals too.
If the Glazers want to be tight (not saying they do) then Louis is what Moyes was supposed to be, he can operate on a budget and he'll be happy with young players who he can develop, I think our transfer business from a financial perspective has been good this summer.
Come on, this is harsh.They thought Depay was going to Liverpool, they said we had no interest in Schniderlin, they said Schweinsteiger was going to stay in Bayern, they knew feck all about Darmain and said we were after Clyne. Not to mention the numerous players they have linked us to, but yeah, they haven't got much wrong.
They don't correct themselves they keep guessing in the hope they get one right. They have no clue until they are feed the information from the club.Come on, this is harsh.
I vividly remember them saying the opposite, and that we're interested in both. Yes they said we were after clyne but then luckhurst said weeks before he signed for liverpool that we had dropped our interest, different to the pedro situation which was all abit kneejerk and sudden.
Correcting yourself based on new information received doesn't mean you're a shite journalist. Targets change, interest was shown in many players because we had A.B.C targets (woodward confirmed this in a interview), and sometimes shit happens.
Depay fair enough, but again they weren't 100% wrong. Liverpool and Psg showed strong interest forcing lvg to snap his fingers and get it done, he said this himself.
I still haven't seen men get something completely wrong this summer like they did herrera.
That's it, when you don't commit to anything (because you know feck all) you rarely get much wrong. Sums it up nicely:Come on, this is harsh.

why will they?Surely we must have something special lined up - Adidas will practically insist upon it!
apparently it is £10 to sign up .I don't get what Red Issue is, a paid for forum?

Drive shirt sales, don't think they have that much say personally.why will they?
Haven't their inside scoops dried up as of late though? How a United forum have inside knowledge on Chelsea v Jose is behind meIt is solely that now yes - it used to be a fanzine as well until that was shut down recently.
I just thought it interesting they lay the blame on Woodward and are hinting that something big may be in the offing.

Woodward's bumbling incompetence over Pedro
Talk of Bayern trying to hijack City's move for de Bruyne.

Well they aren't going to offer upwards of 50m and they won't offer kdb 200k+ a week, wolfsburg will likely want to avoid selling to a direct competitor also.Talk of Bayern trying to hijack City's move for de Bruyne.

Yes.They still haven't been wrong or massively off the mark, shit happens.
Der western (Known as 100% for dortmund news) said we had a deal with gundogan, nothing came of it. It was then revealed that gundogan once receiving interest from barca and bayern demanded higher wages and a deal was called off by lvg and woody.
As for them only knowing what the club has briefed them with, the same could be said for guilluim balague. Madrid mouth piece number one, yet people take him more seriously on here.
Does that make der western wrong ?

All depends on kdb. I really like calling him kdb.
