Now it's 3-0. Donovan scores after a wicked deflection.

A couple somewhat dubious French sources are saying the Nasri to Arsenal deal is done for 12.5 million pounds and will be announced in the next 10 days. Also some rumors that Hleb is on his way to Barca.
 
we have apparently agreed a fee for Nasri for around 12 million pounds, personal terms with the player to be sorted out within the next week or so.

edit: :lol damn you Cornballer. Just read the young guns article as well, eh?

Maybe because both of them was quite injuried and the teams that they play in didn't come up to their normal level.


And are serious about C.Ronaldo? He haves everything but Messi only have the ball control?
Btw, Kaka wasn't only good in a couple of matches in CL. Besides, to become the best player in world you have to play good in the big matches. Something C.Ronaldo never have showed. He barely touched the ball against us and yet you claim that he was the best player last season. What did Kaka do against Man U and did Ronaldo do against Milan?

Did Ac Milan win the championship? No. They won the Cl, ok, that's fair. If you think it's fair to compare the Milan defense, and how they were on top of their game against CR, while Man Utd defense was opening holes left and right for Milan attacking moves.

Kaka was good(not great imo) throughout the seasons, but he capped a couple of great performances in the CL. What happened this season? Same thing, but without the CL.

And yes, i am serious about what i said about CR and Messi. Now CR is the best scorer along side with Drogba in the CL, and the best player and scorer in the PL, and people still say shit.

And people will keep saying that messi or whatever is better, but they were unlucky, and that will be the same thing said for the next decade, i bet. Like when Pelé said that Ronaldo was good, but unlike Messi and Kaka he didn't score many goals, lol, it's like people pretend to turn a blind eye, even making up bs.

Somewhere in southern California, Karakand is smiling.
Not after the night I had. :lol
 
Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world.

But Messi still has bags of potential to realise, and is the better player than Ronaldo was at his age.

Let it be known that my cat does not like competition. Your sources shall be dealt with in good time.
If you source everything to "your cat," which you're insistent on doing, it leaves any transfer speculation/news that you post (legitimate or otherwise) completely devoid of any credibility. If that's the way you want to do it, then that's your business. :/

You can choose to believe me or not. Sometimes I've been right, other times I've not been. I'm not an amazing insider or anything. But I have been right on the whole Torres to Liverpool dealy, and Flamini to Milan.

Yes, you've been right a couple of times, but my point is there's no differentiation in the way you describe the rumors you post that indicates whether it's something you're making up or a rumor that comes from somewhere (inside source, another forum, etc...) It's just a personal preference on my part that people explain themselves by saying "Oh I read this on a blog that this player is going to sign" or "I'd really like it if Arsenal signed this player." They're two different things. Again, just a pet peeve of mine. Carry on however you see fit.

Nah I understand where you're coming from but when it's someone I'd like to sign, I'd probably say. If I say something like X is going to Arsenal or Y is going to Man Utd, it's probably something I heard. But I have no amazing source (besides my cat obviously), it's just random things I hear that may or may not be true.
 
The Dallas - LAG game is wide open at the moment. Cooper put a shot off the crossbar and going the other way Beckham tried to chip the keeper from about 60 yds out.
 
We know now what Kara does when Man City loses.

Oh and about my cat, my brothers loves to photograpth her so there's a lot of pics. I took out some of the best.

Why? It's not even open yet and we have Bosingwa to Chelsea for £16.2m and Modric to Spurs for £16.5m.
More specifically, it was directed towards people on the Arsenal boards after someone posted a long list of players that they anticipated signing. I think it describes the situation in general, as well - hope springs eternal in the silly season, but teams almost never buy the ridiculous laundry lists of players that their fans ask for.

And Flamini.

Corn, we're getting hyped because we've now "agreed to terms" with Nasri and Ben Arfa.
