Will it be the first OT 12/13 season thread?
I've been to a Turkish wedding where they all drank champagne as far as I could see. Perhaps the Turks took a different path or something.

Oscar confirmed he had a medical at Chelsea but said he hasn't signed anything (and won't until after the olympics).

Thought it would take longer to get to 20k
I haven't don't anything for a new thread, so unless someone else has something it won't be anything special/new
The old one is fine really
Very injury prone, almost 29, one year left on contract and wants to leave. 10m is a tad too low but I wouldn't pay 20m for him either. About 15m is his proper value imo.
Seeing it again on Monday, ruddy loved it

I wouldn't sign footballers that took their religion more serious than their work and I'd fire their asses if they suddenly realized they need to listen to imaginary voices & shit. Like that South American keeper who suddenly decided he can't work on Sundays.
Fuck that.

Mexico vs Japan in under four hours. Should be entertaining at least.

How much did Zampa pay for him again?
Guadalajara's new signing is you. How do you feel?
sorry.
F1 quali is luckily before the Mexico match at least.
At least you're an honest bigot. You know there are some things more important than kicking a ball at the weekends.
No, but seriously. Is it even known?
"Palermo has announced the signing of Paulo Dybala from Instituto for an undisclosed fee."
Not a fan of these Juve links to Suarez, wouldn't normally be too bothered, but when it's the main story on the BBC it's hard to ignore. Would take a phenomenal amount of money to get Liverpool to sell though, and a significant profit on our investment. We bought him for £22 million, so we'd want at least £10 million on top of that, probably more, considering the length remaining on his contract.
Times reporting that Fulham want Adam in a part exchange for Dempsey, which I'd be happy about if that also makes way for Joe Allen. I'm not sure we'll get Allen though, so it does make me wonder if flogging him's the correct move.

Whatever. It's their job, they get paid for kicking the ball on the weekends. Don't like it? Go find some other job.
Those things aren't even mandatory (fasting, abstaining from work on Sundays) and if I were to decide whether or not to employ such a person I'd absolutely decide against it.
It's not even comparable to wearing a headscarf or something, it literally diminishes their output.

I urge to read the article I posted a few pages back.
Football clubs do deal with their players fasting and in a much better way than just firing them.
I'm sure Conte would *love* to have a player like him, but you can stop worrying. It's up there with Cavani to Juve for 40-50M€ as far as transfer absurdities go.
I hope so. I don't know where Juve would get the money for RVP and Suarez. Would be an absurd double purchase.
Jojo stripped of the captain's armband.
Yeah, I told you Arnie I wouldn't worry about it. We can't afford them both, or even Suarez alone.
What did he do? Sorry I haven't been following this one. Did he publicly declare he wants to move to Juve or something?
When he signed it was a 5 and a half year deal. So that was 1 and a half years ago. He's still got four years left.
Yeah, Can't see Liverpool selling at all. Not for anywhere near the price that was quoted anyway.
Why is £5m familiar with me?

It will come down to Suarez actively wanting to leave IMO. I doubt he will be desperate for any kind of move right now. Maybe if Liverpool aren't in the CL next year he will start getting impatient.
Exactly. The only way a move will happen is if Suarez pushes to leave; part of me is nervous that the whole racism row, plus the club sacking Dalglish, will offer Suarez an incentive to quit. He's reiterated his happiness at the club, and his willingness to stay back in April, but you have to wonder whether anything's changed due to the manager changeover. What also worries me is with Suarez going to the olympics, if it all does come to a head and he goes, it'll be really near the end of the window.

Interesting that we've lined up Fernando Llorente if RVP leaves considering that we've signed Giroud and Podolski.

Oscar did have a medical with Chelsea but will decide after the Olympics.

And you'd be out of your job if the player happens to be Messi or Ronaldo. Lol. Players get their boots polished by the biggest clubs, and you'd fire them fire them for fasting? That's one of the most idiotic things I've heard in some time. Sweet dreams in your religion free ivory towers.
Nothing. Apparently they made Pasqual the new captain and it seems that Jovetic didn't take it very well. He's pissed at Fiorentina, Fiorentina are annoyed with him because he isn't declaring his intentions, one way or another.
EDIT: Well, more or less. What Yurt posted.
Now, if I were Della Valle, I would sell Jovetic RIGHT NOW, for as much as I can realistically get, then sign a couple of decent players. Some Serie A veterans and maybe a promising youngster or two. Because let me tell you, with the current squad ...
... Serie B isn't that far off. Even with Jovetic. Terrible, terrible team.

Would be amazing but do Basque players normally leave their hometown club?

So? I know that they do, however, it doesn't mean that I have to approve of it.
Of course it's hard for a club to just fire them because they cost transfer fees for the most part.
In the past, FSV Frankfurt gave their ramadaning players a warning because the contract they signed didn't allow for crazy diets. Which I thought is absolutely fine/normal because it also doesn't allow doping, etc. In normal contracts you also have alcohol & drug abuse clauses.
/edit
Again, religious doesn't have equal fasting/abstaining from work on Sundays. Keep pushing that agenda, it still doesn't make it any more true.
My atheist ivory tower is just fine, thank you very much.
He apparently has a 28m release clause in his contract & is 27 so maybe. I think its unlikely we'll buy another striker even if he leaves though.
