[Gareth Bale]

Wilshere has to have a knee operation now as well. I can't help but feel that this is the price you pay for overexposing such a young player. Permacrock.

[K1LLER7]

Someone is going to have to keep your physio occupied now Owen has gone. No Owen Hargreaves-esque DVD? No dice.

We've already got Anderson to keep em busy.

Lol they ask Owen a question, then cut him off and go to an ad-break.

[Zabojnik]

Apparently, last year Verratti cried cause he didn't want to sign for Milan. Future capitano confirmed. RVP wants a £250,000-a-week contract? That's a little over 13m a year.. Add on the transfer fee and you're looking at 70-80m here. Normally, for a player of his quality, it's fair. But looking at his age and injury record (I assum he's going to start in the Euros), I'd pass on him.

Verratti's a crybaby confirmed.

250k£ a week? Fuck. This. Shit. I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. I get it, that's how it works, it's their money to spend, etc. But there really should be some kind of salary cup, otherwise we'll end up with three, four all-star teams. Might as well let them play in their own league.

Apparently, Lavezzi would be transferred from Napoli to PSG this summer. 25 million euro deal. He would earn 4.5 million a year. That would be a terrific recruit. Next year's Champions League cannot come soon enough!

25mil€ seems a bit low to me, considering who's selling. More like 35-40mil€. They paid 43mil€ (I think?) for Pastore, why should they pay less for a better player? I'd say they set a dangerous precedent for themselves, but I'm sure PSG's owner simply doesn't give a fuck.

[Salazar]

I just can't stand the United ones in particular.

[Clegg]

So United spent £60m on interest and buying back debt but cash in bank has decresed by £70 odd million.

Interestingly, £4m was spent on plans for an IPO which hasn't happened yet and doesn't even look likely to happen in the near future.

For Uniteds debt to remain manageable they need success on the pitch. But to remain successful they need investment. Slightly worrying circle tbh.

[Arnie]

A gif at that and not my Cleverley comment. You're slipping.

He's never going to be the player he could have been. Shame.

I'm rising above. Clev is a superstar.

Wenger will be on the runway trying to stop Ox going to Euros now.

Concentrate on your crisis club.

[K1LLER7]

Owen did score some important goals for us. Maybe he'll go to America for his final contract.

City season tickets renewal go on today. Super jealous of the people who are paying close to £18 a game to watch the champions.

Even the ones who are paying like £28 a game, that's still value.

Damn. Wish I had one :(

[Clegg]

The last time Munich faced an English club in the Champions League final.

[Arnie]

Concentrate on your crisis club.

Spending money to compensate managers isn't as much of a crisis as spending money to prevent haemorrhaging even more money.

Kagawa's slowly spinning down the money drain.

Amazing value.

The last time Munich faced an English club in the Champions League final.

Man United back then were pretty much unstoppable. They also consisted of mostly English players too. What a golden generation that was for England.

I respect your argument.

[Wilbury]

Even now we could play a pretty competitive British side. Might not be the best but it's still pretty good.

Amos

Evans
Young
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs

Welbeck

[dc89]

Yup. It really is amazing value. They offer cheaper tickets to u21's too. I remember I could have had a season ticket 2 years ago for a little over £300.

And the loyalty scheme is good. The more you buy the cheaper it gets over the long haul etc.

they were shit for 90 minutes. unfortunately the game had 3 minutes of extra time D:

Amazing value.

LFC prices have froze. Made up we get to see Liverpool vs Villa for £46 again...

[Zabojnik]

Elia possibly moving to Benfica? Portuguese media seem to think it's basically a done deal. No idea how much we're getting, hopefully at least 8mil€.

[Arnie]

Can't wait to work all summer for that one.

[Jeff Albertson]

Rovers could offer me a free ticket and I wouldn't go until that cunt is gone

Also what a nob owen is, the championship isn't an option like he's proved himself at the top recently

[odd_morsel]

Luis Suarez ‏@luis16suarez KENNY thank you very much for all your help and things I learned from you during 1 year and a half! A big hug and good luck!!

It's really happening :(

[kharma45]

He's on sky sports News now (Owen) trying to sell himself to a club.

Ha what a wee rat.

Yeah, his buyout clause is 31m anyway!

You'd kill for Jones. He's the same age as me and for half a season he was awesome. You're just a reactionary oaf.

Substitute Scholes and you still have a wonderful team.

Or play 3 at the back!!!

Lol, Luis Suarez will be at this Exhibition match

http://www.theworldsoccermasters.com...rs.php?lang=en

List of all the players attending, theres no way I can miss this. Gonna buy tickets today.

[Clegg]

I've revised my list of United transfers this summer.

Out:

Owen
Berbatov
Park
De Laet
James

In:

Nobody, we're skint.

[Kyoufu]

You'd kill for Jones. He's the same age as me and for half a season he was awesome. You're just a reactionary oaf.

Yes I did react by laughing at him since his own goal in January and every shit game he has had since. :p

[Salazar]

Kyoufu would kill for half a kebab and a thigh-rub from some Bela Lugosi-alike Uruguayan striker.

Clegg, cheer up. Shinji likes us, and has no reason to like Arsenal. Nobody does. Meus doesn't even watch football for anything but possession and fanciness.

Maybe the pretty big age difference? Maybe because Zamps wasn't willing to sell for anything but a crazy price, considering some other company owned half of Pastore.... or maybe that Pastore is actually better? :p

Uniteds financial report makes for some depressing reading.

Cash in bank will be ok but the amount spent on interest is staggering. Can't see Uniteds plan on raising money through the IPO being successful either.

Holy shit that's awesome. Question. Why is Altidore there?

I just bow my head in sorrow

He was born and raised in Boca Raton, FL which is literally like a half hour away from that stadium.

[elseanio]

Kean close to going?

[Feorax]

Sounds like it. Blackburn should totally take Dalglish back.

[Salazar]

His last job in football, or there is something very wrong with this universe.

Ah okay, just stood out as why the fuck is he even playing with Messi aha

Kean close to going?

Holy shit imagine if he won the Premier League with Scott Dann at centre back

[Clegg]

I was watching a replay of Crewe vs Southend last night. Nick Powell looked pretty good. He was much more poised than any other footballer on the pitch and he was a constant threat threat when he had the ball. Made some bad decisions now and then but he's clearly a very talented player.

I can see why so many clubs seem to be interested in him.

[LFMartins86]

Elia possibly moving to Benfica? Portuguese media seem to think it's basically a done deal. No idea how much we're getting, hopefully at least 8mil€.

The portuguese press is talking about a one year loan. They are supposedly buying Ola John for 8 mil €, I can´t see them spending another 8 mil € for another winger without selling anyone.

He'd dominate the fizzy pop league.

[Vivalaraza]

This is a really really great interview with Wayne Rooney by David Winner who is an American, for ESPN. Not like most things you read and he tries to get an insight into how Rooney's mind works on the pitch.

Very highly recommended.

Beautiful Game, Beautiful Mind.
