I believe when Cisse gets on the score sheet, we don't lose. Get him a goal and we'll get at least a draw. It's inevitable. :P

city will buy him :P

[Awesome Animals]

It's amazing to think how 20 yrs ago £8 mil was a spending spree. Now that buys a good player to fill a hole in the team.

Alan Pardew: "He absolutely rapes him"

Just popped up on my news feed, guess given last night it seemed relevant.
(From a few years back)

i'm going to make a wild prediction

we will see the transfer record broken this summer by either Barcelona or City for one player.

I think the record is 50 million pounds for zidane

Surely Ronaldo, no?

C Ronaldo is the most expensive player of all time. (80million pounds I think.. right?)

Kaka is the 2nd most expensive.

Messi though is the most expensive because he is priceless.

[Empty]

On the same sorta topic.. I recently got Fifa Street, and it got me thinking, which team would actually win a 5vs5 street tournament? Barca - Valdes - Alves - Iniesta - Xavi - Messi Real - Casillas - Marcelo - Ozil - Ronaldo - Benzema Milan - Abiatti - Silva - Robinho - KPB - Ibra City - Hart - Kompany - Silva - Yaya - Aguero etc

get cantona on the phone, rent a ship and find out.

Essien in his prime. But yeah I remember seeing a joke about that a couple of weeks ago regarding Essien "raping" Ched Evans in that vid and well...

^^lol great gif response.

Good idea. :P A bit expensive though.

You meant Cisse right ;)

[MPW]

UEFA Fair Play rules does not allow Messi and Ronaldo on the same team unfortunately.

heh

to be honest, i don't think messi and cr7 could work together

both want to take pk and fks

both want to be the go to guy

Higuain to Dortmund. Dortmund to win the world. won't happen at all lol

higuain for gotze, lets do this!

[rodvik]

C Ronaldo is the most expensive player of all time. (80million pounds I think.. right?) Kaka is the 2nd most expensive. Messi though is the most expensive because he is priceless.

I wonder if there is any chance Messi will become restless at Barcelona? Obviously that was unthinkable with pep around but if he doesnt like the new coach I do wonder if he could do a Tevez lite kind of thing.

[Scum]

Wotcha, lads. Just seen the Expendables 2 trailer. Van Damme! \o/

I'll make OT10 in about 20 minutes or so, these are the titles I have at the moment:

Don't think that will happen. And if something does happen, it wont be as bad as Tevez.

He has said countless times that he loves the club, the city, the people and wants to repay Barca for believing in him and paying for his treatment. The only way he will leave I read, is if the club thinks he isn't useful to them anymore and want to get rid of him, otherwise he will stay. But players have said many things and gone the opposite way.

[LegoArmo]

Zidane would have cost more than Kaka, with inflation and exchange rate changes, I reckon. Plus no one knows exactly how much the value of Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona was.

Ashley will sell him in the summer. :(

[Carbonox_Ratchet]

Ashley will sell him in the summer. :(

I'm pretty sure he will have to leave the country if that happens. There is no way on earth he would be safe residing in Newcastle after such a thing. That would make anything else he's ever done look harmless. :P

[Vivalaraza]

Zidane would have cost more than Kaka, with inflation and exchange rate changes, I reckon. Plus no one knows exactly how much the value of Ibrahimovic's transfer to Barcelona was.

Yep, adjusted for inflation Zidanes transfer is the second highest of all time at £65m.

Zlatan's was valued at £59m.

It is interesting that when adjusted for inflation, 6 of the top 10 transfer fees were between 1999-2002, well before the rich owners began to take over clubs.

Top 10 adjusted for inflation is:

1) Cristiano Ronaldo - £81m
2) Zinedine Zidane - £65m
3) Zlatan Ibrahimovic - £60m
4) Ricardo Kaka - £57m
5) Luis Figo - £55m
6) Fernando Torres - £50m
7) Hernan Crespo - £48m (This is his transfer from Parma to Lazio in 2000)
8) Gianluigi Buffon - £47m
9) Ronaldo - £45m
10) Christian Vieri - £40m

Another massive transfer people forget about is the £30m (£37m adjusted for inflation) AC Milan paid Fiorentina for Rui Costa in 2001. That was the same summer Zidane and Veron moved. Veron's deal was actually the cheapest at the time, arguably was the best of those 3 players at that particular moment too, though Zidane was clearly something special. Buffon moved that summer too.

Take your pick.

I'm so glad Viva's list tops out before it reaches Carroll.

[Baconsaurus Rex]

When will OT10 be up?

OT10 is live :)

Take your pick.

Thanks! :)

Man, this week has been SO boring. I need football :(

Arent you watching our amazing national semfinals?!!!!?

AGUANTEE AURINEGROOO!! VAMOS REAL ESPANA!!!

[Schweini]

You're in Brazil, eh? I've learned just how much Brazilians love Noel and britpop in general from last.fm.. or just those who do are rabid on there! Seriously, I seem to see as many Brazilians as Americans or Brits on Noel's page and other related artists. I know from videos that the crowds in South America are always fucking nuts at rock shows. The gigs at River Plate are legendary. LOL @ The Masterplan bit. Dude cracks me up. Just read his latest tour diary entry, the bit about his wife holding up a similar sign is priceless.

Hahaha, awesome diary entry. I wish I was in that crowd. :S Must've been special. Noel is just amazing.

People around here are generally huge fan of bands like Oasis, Coldplay, etc. The concerts are always crazy when these bands come over.

Very shitty semifinals so far. :/

edit: why in hell I am posting here.

[Jason Raize '75 - '04]

The Zlatan - Barca deal was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in recent memory in regards to the transfer window. Sell your best striker in Eto'o plus 30m euros for Ibra. Looool. Eto'o must have slept with Laporta's wife or something

[WrikaWrek]

Messi will move. He's young, and this Barça team will start fading.

[Error]

Hope we win copa del rey so we can face Madrid in August, I'm watching this madrid celebration and all this talk about the end of the Barcelona era stuff is just lol

[Milchmonster]

So, with Kagawa leaving is Amini expected to be part of Dortmund squad next season?

No. Plan looks like to get him loaned out to a German team if interested in the 2nd division I guess. Or in the second team if we make it first and play in the better league.

[Para bailar La Bomba]

The Sun really are hurt about this, aren't they?

Sun logic: You can win any irrational argument by stirring anti-German hate.

This thread smells like a Sergio Ramos' undies after that penalty kick. [/crickets]

I just found out Junior Seau (American football player) killed himself...

Now all of the sudden I understand how much Gary Speed's death must feel for English football fans.

I was a kid when he was a San Diego Charger... He was my absolute hero for my entire young life.

I can't take this... FUck man.. :(
