Hazard :lol

I hope United ensure the Kagawa deal is done ASAP. I don't want us to mess that up cos Hazard is too busy winding people up.

Also City fans - get used to it. You wanna be big boys, let your balls drop and get used to people hating.

Kagawa news has gone quit recently. Could be because he's playing for Japan at the moment. Hopefully we get him to sign.

So apparently, Chelsea's win last is changing a lot of thing for Hazard... Man U/City might want to make new bids if they want him.

I'm impervious to anything you guys can throw at me. I've had to deal with worse.
 
It worked, our defense was pretty good this season after being one of the worst in all Europe. Neuer is amazing.
Now is time to buy a decent striker and depth.

You spend 40m on a keeper that arguably cost you the league (two big fuck ups against Gladbach alone), a solid to shaky CB, Rafinha lol and a young striker that isn't even allowed to play.

I'd argue it has more to do with Heynckes, as much as I dislike him.

Edit: I mean the better defense with the last sentence.

Jupp costed us the bundesliga, not Neuer. Neuer costed us 3-6 points.

One of the board members at Molde did an interview with Norwegian TV saying that there is a clause in Solskjaer's contract that he can leave if a Premier League side comes in for him.

From all of Ole's quotes over the weekend it sounds like the ball is now in Villa's court. If they offer him the job - he can and will take it.

Thats what worries me. Trusting Villas board to make the right choice is not somethig that comes easy to me after last season.
 
So I just had a read through the CL final thread. God almighty. It was good to see some of the football-GAF faithful (most of who weren't Chelsea fans) calling out the anti-football brigade.

I think United are interested in Hazard but not enough that they'll pay him the ridiculous wages that he wants.

I reckon this is between Chelsea and City now.
 
Leave our zebra alone!

Can donkeys and zebras even copulate?
You get a mule from a horse + donkey, but is there a Zebronkey?

$$$$$ + CL
Llorente was about to join, but he wanted to be a starter.

It certainly would have to be a lot of money to convince Athletic management of the transfer (not just the player). Athletic only field Basque players, which means finding a replacement as good as a 23 year old Javi Martinez would be difficult. With Athletic, it isn't as easy as just convincing the players to leave.

Well, we can wait and see!


There's a rematch between both teams in August! Scudetto winners vs Coppa Italia winners.
 
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!

In Steve Keans crunch talks with the owners in India he recommended his pr guy for a place on the board

The local journo just tweeted he has confirmed the position in an interview he did with him and it makes Kean have even more influence

Corrupt cunts can fuck off

RIP Blackburn Rovers I'll miss you old friend

Didn't know GAF had filters at all. *****uaré
I don't understand the significance of that word either.
Yeah I don't understand that one either.

Some words or sites are filtered though. VGChartzzzzzz or whatever its name is, Joystiq used to be, and ShopTo's URL is filtered after the credit card thing a few years ago too.

That's horrendous news about Blackburn.

As for Hazard, it would be interesting if City didn't get one of their summer targets for a change and he did go to Chelsea instead.

Such a shame :(

On another note, I'm already sick of hearing about Hazard, I wish the guy would climb out his own arse long enough to tell us what team he'll be a disappointment at next season!

Yeah fantastic mate cheers I'm sore from over doing it on the bouncy castle, I'm so old

I can't take any more of this shit with rovers if Paul Agnew really is on the board then that's it for me, proof if proof were needed that the club is rotten to the core

Sorry Jeff :(

I read about a group of supporters that are trying their best to get the owners to sell, hopefully they can get the member numbers they need to have an impact.

Terrible news for Blackburn.

Sorry to hear that, Jeff. :(

Cavani looks so much like Tim Riggins. I'd love him at Liverpool but alas, he's surely bound for a Champions League club.

Benitez would be excellent for Bayern, and I think Bayern would be excellent for Benitez. At this point I want to see him coaching again, because I don't think he's gaining anything from sitting around waiting for the Liverpool job. It's pretty clear that he won't be offered it at this moment in time, although if he does well at Bayern for a few years and the post opens up in the future then who knows. He wouldn't have to sell his house either I'm sure.

Yes, I think he's the best option for Bayern. Guess we'll have to wait and see, still the odds are Jupp is staying.

Wow. What on earth does Kean have over Venkys? This is just going to lose them money.
 
Mirror reporting Modric has handed in a transfer request.

Edit - Sorry it might be that he is preparing to hand in a transfer request.

It begins.

Independent now running with that AVB story I discussed before. Meeting next week, he wants a project but also needs assurances.?
To be honest I just hope this is sorted soon. It could well be AVB but it seems the media know nothing and are just speculating. From what I can remember we've now been linked with:

AVB
Martinez
Rodgers
Lambert
Rafa
Deschamps
Rijkaard
Guardiola
Klopp
De Boer
Bielsa
Capello
Di Matteo
Laudrup
Van Gaal
Van Marwijk
Steve Clarke getting promoted to manager

Am I missing anyone?

Depends what stories you believe

Steve Keans agent was the man that helped the owners and the club to come together i believe (but don't have the articles to hand) but the following are facts, 2 months later our steady manager is sacked and replaced by a client of said agent, a few months after that the agents son (previously of aberdeen reserves) signs for the club, that agent also had a permanent base set up at the rovers training ground in the January window in 2011, the same period that we signed a player for £600k and for that same deal paid a (different) agent £1.4m (I think those figures are right)

Coincidences? Ineptitude? More? I couldn't possibly say, mainly because I know of people who have recieved letters from a certain mans legal team.

And now the pr man who stage manages all of Keans interviews etc is being appointed to the board?

I can't in good faith support that anymore
