How much did you guys pay for him? Probably a low transfer fee now because of his wages I'm guessing.

£10m or so back in 2014, not sure if his contract was to run out next summer but I don't think he'd have seen much game time this year so it's a good deal all around. Seemed a nice enough guy just doesn't have much to his overall game.

Octopussy sold too? Quite odd move, not that I rate him or anything but they're already rather low on numbers in the midfield, aren't they?

He's behind the pecking order of Gundogan, Fernandinho and Yaya, so 4th choice. Also talk that Danilo can play there too. Fernando doesn't have enough to his game for a Pep midfield.

Mate Pep is a genius, Bernardo Silva will play defensive midfield with overlapping ball playing sweeper goalkeepers and Fernandinho playing trequartista regista centreback. Fecking revolutionary, this was the plan all along

But you haven't brought anybody in, have you? Toure's a bit old and can be a grumpy feck, Fernandinho is Fernandinho who Pep also seemed to play at a LB(?) quite a lot and there should be questionmarks over Gundogan's fitness levels as per usual. It seems a bit suicidal for me. Not that I mind it.

The La Liga meltown if they lose Ronaldo and Neymar in the same window..
So guys, we can build our marketing around Messi and Griezmann?
Nope, Antoine could be gone in Jan
Suarez?
Can't, not with his reputation.
So who?
...
That FIFA cover with Messi and Henderson might not be far from the truth

The best thing coming out of the Neymar move is that its breaking Barca and RM's monopoly of having a ridiculous front 3 that no body could compete against.

I just don't think you need to bring somebody in to replace Fernando. Fernandinho spent lots of time at RB because Zab and Sagna weren't up to it but that's now Walker and Danilo, so he's available back in the middle. I agree Yaya's time will be limited but I think if Kompany was fit Pep would sooner push Stones into DM than Fernando, so I don't think it's a loss to the squad. Whether we should sign someone to provide genuine top class cover for Gundogan is a different question - Ideally yes.
 
In other news, that sale now means Uniteds net spend for the summer is now higher than City's. You big spenders! Hopefully only until we sign a Sanchez. :D

Woah! He looked a cut above the rest in Carrick's testimonial. Big move for the ISL

Yeah Robbie Keane "looked a cut above" players like Rooney, Carrick, Evra etc players that are at some of Europes top clubs winning trophies :wenger:

What does vanity have to do with the tax issue ? Bizarre to say the least.

It's not the tax issue, he's giving journalists license to print crap about him moving given that he's name dropped England as a place where he never had tax issues, basically either wants headlines or a bigger contract (and having recently just signed one, I'm going with the former).

I'm basically calling Ronaldo vain for putting himself in the news again.

Hasn't Messi just signed a new contract this summer? If so then it's Ronnie's turn again - time to get out the United links again.

Cristiano Ronaldo: "I've never had a [tax] problem in England, that's why I'd like to go back"

Amongst all the hysteria about the tax case, can you imagine if PSG also signed Ronaldo?

What a statement that would be.
 
Harry Redknapp.
 
I cannot post tweets but one of the founders of the Catalan SPORT (@joseluiscarazo) is saying that Coutinho is next, he's wanted by Valverde.
 
yumtum said:
Well the post has gathered quite a bit of replies, so I'm guessing a few? It's Ronaldo taxes not mine, course he knows it'll be news worthy considering he mentions England too.

Calling Ronaldo vain is is an accurate description of him as a person, so the only bizarre post here is yours.

You guys really like saying bizarre :lol:

It's a bit.... bizarre.

Ohhhhh now I get it, that is fun!
 
Seriously what the hell is going on between City and Monaco? They are still bitter over that CL loss they just gonna raid them for any decent player they have left? Similar to Pool-Soton transfer dealings, hope Monaco publicly protest over City's tapping.
6 players for tactical genius and still not enough, what a feckin clown.
