Morning all,
Has there ever been such a tedious transfer window….?
Jose bids for Rooney, Arsene says we can afford his wages and wham. Jose suddenly wants Higuain and all no doubt because, he thinks Arsene Wenger has been desperately trying to sign him..
This latest twist smacks of someone, somewhere leaking a fabricated story to the press just to cheese off Arsene Wenger…
Maybe it came from Chelsea, after all, how many times have they pipped us to a player?
Cahill, Mata, Hazard, even Shaun Wright-Phillips a few years ago. Lazy scouting maybe, or simply a case of money talks..
Regardless, it seems to me that this latest story about Higuain is all about the ex Chelsea manager upping the price of Higuian and making sure Real do us no favours whatsoever. Just as the ‘Higuain plus money’ offer to Liverpool leaked to the media….
Wenger isn’t innocent either, he’s waded in when he’s felt fit to do so…..
Surely now it’s time to stop all the game playing and get down to some serious business…
Higuain is not worth £37 million, the price quoted in the press so if that’s what Real are aiming for, forget him, move on. Other strikers are available.
If Arsenal are serious about either Rooney or Suarez, then go all out to sort one, or both out asap, don’t sit back and let others beat us to it. Find out if both want to join us, if they don’t and we are just being used in a bidding war, move onto a different player as we can’t afford to get to the end of the transfer window having signed no-one as all our time and effort was spent chasing shadows……….
Talking of Suarez, John Cross, who is in Japan with the squad, well not actually ‘with’ them all, but he’s covering our tour for the Daily Mirror. He writes ‘Arsene Wenger has been given the go-ahead to spend £40 million on Luis Suarez’. Suarez’s agent, Pere Guardiola, has stated that that amount triggers a release clause in Suarez contract and Liverpool have conceded they would have to listen.
Rogers however has said that £55 million wouldn’t get the Liverpool man. Somehow I doubt that is true….
We’ll see of the next few days I guess…..
Moving on, and Andre Santos has done just that. Reports suggest he’s gone and gone for good having come to an agreement with Arsenal to cancel his contract. He’s joined Flamengo. Never heard of them and I really don’t care either…
Now for Park and Chamakh to follow…..
Have a good day all, enjoy whatever it is you are up to…
Never heard of flamengo? Do you’re homework.
Oh dear, some people just really need to get out more don’t they….
Morning to everyone else…..
Attention. Attention. Knob alert!
Wenger is a fool.
You never heard of Flemengo?
Indeed Adam….
Maybe it’s because Friday is here and the sun is shining…..
just the most famous brasilian team… that a bit arogant…. or just ignorant
I have a fear we are going to end up with nobody again I believe we are trying to sign players but our strategy has to change we have to start doing our buissiness far quicker we are only a couple of top players away from having a chance to contend its pretty frustrating being a gooner atm.
Moyes maintains that Rooney is not for sale and he hopes to find out about Cesc in the next 24 hours…
Give us Rooney , Suarez , higuain. Buy two out of three pls wenger
Your turn George.
Write tomorrows post you tosser 🙂
Morning guys.
I see “moi” is back, Rico 🙂
Morning all. Greatest saga ever, the transfer window. Hollywood should watch and learn.
Why is no one talking about moving Bendtner on?
Yet another source say we are signing Bernard from Brazil. He is 5 foot 5 inches and that makes him a full 6 inches taller than Mourinho who I foresee is going to be twice as venomous and bitter this time around.
your posts are always a bit of fresh air Rico. No speculation or invention.
Just reality.
George Georgiou……you should do YOUR homework as well. Its not grammatically right to say you’re homework. That means you are homework.
When you say something which is owned by someone its YOUR.
Geddit???
Go and do YOUR correction mate. Otherwise you will do it for 20 times till your hands bleed blue blood.
Ahhhh I forgot. I managed to drag myself to go and buy the bread.
CH. it’s because no-one gives a shit.
Do “you’re” homework! Shame you didn’t do “your” English homework 🙂
What does Moyes hope to find out about Cesc I wonder…
Yes he plays for Barcelona you twat and we have first option to buy him back…!
Bloomin Flamengo, the biggest club in Brazil. Some people really don’t have a sense of humour do they, just like Santos has to be one of the biggest Brazilians in football……
Well said Devil. Rico is a stickler for correct punctuation, as you know.
Good wholesome brown bread I hope Dev 😛
An End Bell so early in the morning….!
Wath. He wants Cesc to see what Botox can do for the modern Metrosexual.
Santos, ain’t that the team who that fella what’s his name Peel played for back in the day… AK will know..!
Duncan/Devil – 🙂
Welcome to those joining HH today, hope you bring a sense of humour with you…
Scott, I am having a ‘blonde’ morning 😉
Peel? Yeah, that’s the geezer. Your (!) not ring they’re Wath.
His nationality Wath…
What is a metrosexual Adam???
Someone who has a meter long tackle??? 😉
Or someone who is fast as a metro train during performances? 😆
I think a bit of Boltox would make Moyes less of a grumpy looking miserable shit but on the other hand I really don’t care… Does he think Cesc will do a flamenco (no pun intended Rico) dance for him..?
Devil. I am a Metrosexual, known for his hard tackle.
Good news about santos at least he and denilson, came to an agreement on cancelling there contracts, and moved on, unlike bendtner who has openly said he wont play for Arsenal again, yet wont fcuking leave. Anyhow if we are to sign 1 from Rooney, suarez, Higuain, who do we want??
Man City have all but bought the PL title I suspect… Well, if they can learn to defend….
4 top strikers, keeping them all happy will be hard 😉
Wath. Take a look at Moyes since he became MU manager. He is either still shocked or has had Botox in his forehead. Not as much as Carol V obviously.
😆 Wath..
Moyes just doesn’t look comfortable in an interview yet…. He just talked about how he is going to make Wellbeck a better finisher. Bet that will boost the players morale…
Rico. Keeping those strikers hard will be difficult.
You could always post that picture again. 🙂
Once upon a time……..there was a police named Adam.
He was walking along the river one day when he chanced upon a Lady who was in a boat reading a book and beside her there were a rod and some fishing tackle.
“Excuse me madam. But you know its prohibited to fish in this river. I am sorry but I have to arrest you.”
“Sir” said the lady. “I am only reading not fishing. That belongs to my husband”
“But you have the tackle in the boat and that is reason enough.”
“Sir, if you do that I will accuse you of rape!”
“Now madam. Do not try to blackmail me because anyone can see that I have not touched you.”
“I know constable,” she said. “But you have the tackle to rape me so I will accuse you of rape.”
PC Adam had to sit down to recollect his wits and muse about the effect of his hard tackle
Pelé played for FC Santos
I didn’t say that Adam 😉
Morinoh is nothing but a dog, who trace others with his noose. Higuain,suarez, roony, are all there for him he should go and get them all. Wenger has absolutely nothing to ague with him, we has money to spend and i know we’ll do absolutely well, the league will decide itself.
Where is Lee.
Devil. That is scurrilous. 🙂
Morning all ,the sun is shining ,too warm to work ,so the 2nd test is order of the day .The bad news is we still havent signed anyone of note.Anyone know what has happened to gervinho ?he seems to have disappeared.Is he not on tour?
Ehhhhh???
There is more than one person named Adam mate.
I did not include the surname.
😆
but if you want it………..its PC Adam Hardylong
Hi good morning fellow gooners the transfer is getting heated now and still we have no signings yet, still I’m patient cause I know we have to strengthen the squad and winger knows that too Suarez would be my choice over Rooney and higuian also a DM is needed and a CB also winger and keeper possibility another playmaker or promote eisfield/zaleleum what a player the latter of the two but a few more players to make up the squad and we are ready for that push
Shew, need to put in sub notes explaining your jokes Rico and perhaps a disclaimer too. 🙂
Never seen a manager that gets so worked up by us like Jose. Even before he went back to Chelsea he spits vile about Arsenal.
So he’ll try hijack all the deals we are trying for. Have a dozen strikers and sell Torres for pittens to another team than sell to us.
Ha ha Bradster, you might be right…
Spot on re Jose, he really hates us and our manager, funny really. Jealous maybe…
Jay, don’t know why but you went into spam… Gerv is on the ‘for sale’ list I think….
I have a feeling that although we all enjoyed that UNBEATEN season, it has made us more enemies than we bargained for. Hence that is why Sir Red Nose, Jose, the press and everyone seem to hate us.
Everyone used to hate us and love the scum. However after that season, the jealousy level have gone up a hundred notches.
Perhaps wenger needs to apply for his British citizenship. Then he can say what he wants to the refs, linesmen, press and players and they’ll all love him.
Agree devil, they are jealous of what we have achieved and because AW has kept us in top 4 without breaking the bank… And of course our stadium and other facilities no doubt…
Good Morning to the Lady of the House and fellow Gooners.
Rico – You seem to have stirred up a hornet’s nest this morning. It has been a while since so many posters have had a bug up their arse. Is that a mixed metaphor Adam? Some people are a little too sensitive.
A good honest articl btw. Now back to read the rest of the comments, well the less sensitive ones anyway.
He wouldn’t get it Bradster, some of our players don’t even get a work permit 😉
Good read rico.Barca VP has categorically ruled out any sale for cesc.he has said they are not even willing to look at offers.
Adam – Your 9:55 am was a bit abrupt, but spot on. NB52 has to be the biggest non-story this TW.
It seems aome of our short tempered posters have brought out the comedian in many of us.
DG – I know your the football coach. I didn’t know you were also the English master at the Academy.
Morning Cg, thanks – I think many are getting frustrated with the lack of action in the window. I know I am, despite trying to remain positive and calm…
Thanks Kt, good re CF
DG – Re your 10:13 am:
You devil, I almost wet myself I was laughing so HARD.
Isn’t Nikki B going to Hull?
Rico – Our more sensitive posters have done us all a service. Instead of ticking us off, they have inspired our inner comedians. The result is some good jokes and good humour to lift the pall of boredom, frustration, resignation and tedium of the transfer window to date.
They are still annoying though Cg…
Rico – They just make the rest of us, even me, look sooooo much better.
Rico do like I do………..get a saucepan and whack them a couple of hard whacks.
Do you know that a saucepan is one of the most lethal weapons which the law cannot accuse you of using.
If you knife someone you will be accused of having a pointed weapon intended to kill.
If you have a fire arm you will be accused of owning a gun.
Likewise if you use a fork or any pointed object.
But a saucepan is round, has a flat surface, does not cut and it has a BLOODY BIG SURFACE AREA and its DAMNED HARD. So they cannot say that is pointed or sharp edged or fire arm.
And when you hit someone I do like the BOING sound it produces. So hitting someone just for the fun of hearing its music is GRRRREEEAAATTTTTT.
DG – Kitchen martial arts too. You are indeed a talented man.
😆 Cg, good way to look at it..
I’d love to devil, but…..
How reliable is ESPN regarding transfers? I see they say we’re tabling a 21m deal for Bernard. How good is this guy really? I only saw glimpses during the confed cup.
Not sure re Espn Bradster, i doubt they are any more reliable than the Daily Mail…
Bernard is 57 kgs and 162 cm tall…am not sure he would find it easy to adapt here.
Now this is someone I would really like…….
Arsenal are considering a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo with the German giants ready to him go.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is currently working on bringing a big name striker to the Emirates Stadium, with Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain among his targets.
But the Frenchman is also looking to strengthen in other areas, and Brazilian utility man Gustavo is being seen as a man who would help fill gaps in several problem positions.
Arsenal primarily see Gustavo as a defensive midfield option, but he can also play in central defence and at full-back – providing key cover.
Wenger is yet to make his interest fully known, but it’s thought that Arsenal could offer up to £8million to bring the 25-year-old to the Premier League.
Bayern have not ruled out hanging onto the player for another 12 months, but reports in Germany suggest they are ready to let him go if the price is right.
Wolfsburg and Brazilian side Corinthians are also keen on Gustavo, but it’s thought that the midfielder wants to stay in Europe with a Champions League club.
Gustavo has two years left on his Bayern contract.
Bernard is an interesting player though.
Off for a couple of hours now…. Catch up later..
I like that story Devil..
A winger isn’t he Adam, we need one of those…
Gone now..
Good day everyone. Been held up by all work and no play.
Time is 12:30 in nigeria as I type, Adam.
Who needs size to intimidate an opponent when your name is Bernard??
Apologies to any HH members sharing that name 🙂
Never heard Clube Regatas Flamengo? The popular Fla?
Probably is not the biggest club in Brazil (maybe Corinthians from S. Paulo) but it’s the biggest in Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo is not only a football club. Very importante in others sports like rowing, swimming,Basket,volleybal, etc
However, every good Arsenal fan must support Vasco da Gama 😉
No new signs and Stevan Jovetic, one of the names include and linked in the summer approaches of HH, could be rubber.
It’s time to run for others players, no?
Testing!!!
I thought I have being banned. I have being posting but its not appearing on the blog
Hi Scot, hope Bernard has a skillet?
he is an interesting player for sure but am concerned if he can adapt to this league.there is no question about his ability.
Sssshhhh everyone, Emma is back 🙂
CH, i bet he is not as good with it as Devil though lol
Tsk tsk Emma. Gotta stop using the c word 😉
Brad – I guess it’s ur fault my post were not appearing 😉
Off for the night.
Later guys…have a great day.
Bernard is a good player, no doubts about that.
He is able to adapt to Arsenal football what it’s completely diferent to be able to adpat to english football.
Scott – At 5’5″ Bernard isn’t exactly Bernard Bresslaw though. However, we have have seen some short Brazillians do very well in England.
Ktr, there used to be a concept of protecting the weaker players, not seen it lately, though.
Cheers Scott…!
Wow Juninho size. I’m only 10cm taller but 25kg heavier than Bernard.
Cheers Scott
English grit has won naff for England.
Where is this Bernard story coming from?
ESPN Emma, that’s why I asked how reliable are their reports regarding transfers.
Don’t know, emma. Can’t be arsed to even find out. Arsene will sign whoever he wants to, not who the media says we should.
I wouldn’t mind Bernard Bresslaw leading the line.
Emma. From ESPN I think.
Hi HHers,
Good read Rico..
Adam is there a special word for bring sensitive to words? 🙂
I doubt we are in for him. Probably the dippers(LFC). Good player though but we need to watch a fullmatch to know how good he is and not a youtube video
Adam, in answer to your last question in yesteday’s post, I do sleep for @ 5 hours a night.
Seems to be a bit of truth coming from Brazil Emma that we are interested but then again you could say we are interested in many decent players it’s do we follow through with an enquiry and then an offer… That’s the question.
Same for me CH…
Ginge!
TS. An interesting question. I don’t know really. Perhaps a phrase like ” hyper-literate” might cover it?
CH. Fascinating. I was somewhat surprised to realise that West Africa is in the same time-zone as ourselves. I always thought it was farther East. Must be the Mercator projection on the maps I look at. Five hours sleep seems quite a small amount.
WATH – I am not disputing the fact it can’t be true. I don’t see us needing another AM when we have Rosicky, Wilshere, Ox, Cazorla and probably Suarez/Shriek. Our priority is to get a DM/Box-Box cause that’s where we are currently lacking
Hmmmm. being interested in is far different than going for a player.
When I was young I was interested a lot in……..Sam Fox, Kathy lloyd, Sabrina Salerno etc etc etc
But I never managed to get around asking them out. My old Pa would surely have had a fit…… 😉
That will do…Adam.Except the literate part puts a positive spin on the disorder or syndrome.lol
Its like a bin man calling himself a sanitary engineer
emma – I think Bernard is a winger and would be a replacement for Gervinho, if and when we sell him.
Devil. I doubt you would have had much success with Sam Fox mate. 🙂
TS. Agreed. 🙂
He’s supposed to be a winger though Emma not a central midfielder come attacking midfielder…!
Totts and Liverpool are interesting in Bernard
Another transfer speculation from the Daily Mail. These time it’s us in the chase for Chelsea Juan Mata. Were do they make up all these stories from? Link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2370146/Arsenal-interested-Juan-Mata-Chelsea.html
JM. Surely the Totts will sign him?
Adam……it was Kathy I wanted. Sam was always going to play 2nd fiddle.
Cg,do we need another player whose legs are faster than their left hand side of the brain?lol
Serge can adequately replace Gerv,not that a lot of fans rated him in the first place.
I m with Emma on this one their are so very decent DM we can get for that £20M report.Camacho,malula,Wetsel,MF,Capoue…
Adam, still a student, doing my industrial training @ the mo. Greenwich Meridian cuts right through Ghana.
Yea, we don’t need an AM but wouldn’t mind cesc.
Devil. So was Sam. 🙂
Meridian,Tema to be precise…Ch. 🙂
blogging on touch screen phones.tsk tsk
Ain’t we in for the whole CFC squad excluding Terry and Cashly, BigS?
FFP looks dead in the water. I thought that you could lose up to £38 million over 3 years. Still, with David Gill involved in its implementation perhaps Man City will surely fail to qualify as they would probably lose more than that every six months. If MC pass the test then it must be a complete waste of time.
CH – Sorry to burst your bubbles I wouldn’t want Cesc back. He is already home and if he wants to join manure let him be my guest
Are you in Ghana, Ginge? Having problems typing? :p
Emma. I would take him back myself.
Umbongo signed yet?
I see the currant bun has cooked some people’s brains….dick head central earlier!!!
What a bummer, I was due to fly to Spain tonight but have to fly to Glasgow for a funeral tomorrow morning. 🙁
Lee. Sorry to hear that mate.
All I remember as a kid of Sam Fox was she was blonde with huge knockers.
Higuain to arsenal = FFP = A dying ember.
Cesc hasn’t expressed any desire to join Manure, emma.
Knockers???
More like PLANETARY GLOBES Brad??
Bradster. She was an enormously talented singer though. 🙂 Much in the same vein as Cheryl Cole nee Tweedy.
It all beat my imagination showing how DM news credibility has been going down -C-Hills. Its simple they don’t do their research properly before going online with their news. Poor journalism…
Yeah Adam, my father in law’s wife, diagnosed with brain tumour in September passed away on Tuesday morning…..67 yrs old! No age at all…….. 🙁
The momentum for implementing FFP will come from the clubs. Platini is sinking a bottle of Latour ’61 as we speak and eating a Gooses liver. Not paid for by him obviously.
It was my sister’s music interest back then. I only saw the poster of her on the wall.
Too right Devil, they took up most of the poster.
Lee. I am very sorry to hear that. Bad news indeed. Life, as we know, can be very cruel.
Good day Lee. Sorry to hear that. Cancer is a hydra headed evil.
Research doesn’t sell papers, sensationalism does, BigS.
Got to live your life to the full mate!
Anyways it’s a football blog, is Suarez going to happen? I think he’d score buckets of goals for us!
So sorry to hear that Lee. I know how you feeling my friend.
Platini is becoming very much like Blatter, dancing around important but, controversial issues. Why implement FFP when UEFA will somehow benefit from the inordinate spending.
Ginge – I agree, my vote is for Capoue.
Thanks for the support gang!
Lee – I think Suarez could happen if Arsenal bid £40 million. It depends on who else, if anyone, bids and how much Liverpool are willing to risk being stuck with a disgruntled player. I can’t see Rogers talking him into staying.
Thoughts with you and the family Lee, may she RIP, least she is now no longer in pain.
CG, Suarez has made it clear he wants to leave as you say as we well know what’s the point in keeping a disgruntled player?. Move him on and bring in a new player that is sensible..!
2.05 Lee, I am so sad to hear your awful news, thinking of you and all your family……
Thanks Rico!
Adam, no. Probably F.C. Porto
CH – UEFA will benefit more from the introduction of FFP, if properly instituted. The biggest cash cow for UEFA is the European Champions League. FFP will level the playing field for all clubs throughout Europe. Right now, for the most part, it is the same roster of teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League. If more teams had a realistic chance, it could generate more viewer interest from outside England, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Also, there is no benefit to UEFA if more teams go into receivership or administration. If it happens enough, it would causes chaos in affiliated national leagues. With FFP the ‘large’ clubs would have more competition and would not be as powerful. It was only a few year ago that these same clubs, Arsenal included, were talking about setting-up their own Atlantic League. UEFA bought them off by offering a greater share of the Champions League TV rights. Many clubs in Spain and to a lesser degree Italy are already in financial difficulty. The introduction of petro dollars and oligarchs pilferred rubles into football has skewed the competiveness of many leagues and teams. We no longer see the likes of Celtic (Scotland), Ajax (Netherlands) of Porto (Portugal); all teams who have won the ECL or its predecessors in the past, making it to the later stages or the finals. It is difficult or impossible to build competitive teams when financially doped teams can swoop in and buy all your best players. Even teams like finalists Borrussia Dortmund can’t stop it. What makes the Premier League so interesting is there are alwys more than two or three teams thet can challenge for the league winner, even with the artificially boosted teams like Chelski and Abu Dhabi Citeh.
Daily Mail reckon Totts and Dippers are in a two horse race to sign Bernard…
And the reckon we are now after Mata 🙄
JM reckons Porto Rico.
Rico – I could see Arsenal making an enquiry about Mata, but if Chelski aren’t amenable to selling him, I don’t see Arsenal offering them enough money to force the issue. This inquiry/rumour could also be used to gauge Mata’s interest.
Rico. You watching the cricket?
Would anyone take a punt on Ben Arfa….?
Brendan Rodgers says “Suarez owes the Liverpool fans”. Is this a plea to appeal to Suarez’s sense of justice and morality to convince him to stay or the beginning of his villification so they can justify his sale?
CG, It’s just another one to add to the list of excuses and comments to show LFC trying all they can to keep Suarez and that it’s not their choice that he eventually gets sold but in fact it will be as they know they want it done ASAP to replace him..!
Adam – Is that “JM reckons Puerto Rico” OR “JM reckons Porto, Rico”?
What about Puerto Rico Adam?
So can I Cg..
W.A.T.H – If they know they will sell him, the sooner they get it done, the sooner they can find a replacement. They have recently been linked with a deal for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata. Is this so they can have Suarez’s replacement in hand before his sale?
It was a subtle play on words. 🙂
Ben Arfa is a good player but very, very injury prone. Perfect in fact. 🙂
Rico – Just following on with Adam’s Capitalization Police from yesterday.
Well despite my best intentions, it’s been another late late night. Have a good day fellow Gooners.
Keep the Faith!
Sure am Adam, quite a ‘stunningly good’ performance. To use a phrase a friend uses…. 😉
Night Cg..
If he accepted a squad place Wath, a good addition imho…
That will teach Jeff Thomson to write off Swans chances of getting wickets today 😉
Test
Poor Kev can’t get onto post his comments…. 🙁
Night CG or good morning more like…!
Last thing Kev is is poor Rico….!
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/get-latest-disability-news-on-twitter?
I thought this related to Diaby 😉
(Ok, I’m sorry, bad taste…)
He will be after I have taken his fiver Wath 😉
Rico that’s terrible……………………
How can you say such a nasty thing about Diaby….? Shameful lol piss funny though 😀
I knew you’d see the funny side Wath 😉
Seems Barca may be looking for a new Manager…? whispers that Tito leaving..! Presser 8:30 2nite
Evening all, Chill Rico, You’r stating to sound desperate for a signing, not a lot going to happen while the boys are on tour. I have resigned myself that it will be quiet till the boys are home. Deals have been done and our new members are having a nice rest before the season starts. Wenger is using this tour to see how good our youngsters are before he promotes them or moves them on. No point in taking new players to play alongside new youngsters no point at all. In fact the press don’t know what to write about so they find something. Players will be coming perhaps in a couple of weeks. If he is going to spend big these players will be quality and so i have no problem with them not being on tour. Fingers crossed of course
That’s not good Wath, has to be something to do with his health 🙁
I am Sp, very desperate 😉
No worries Rico, Our main deals are sorted, but there will be some off the cuff.
You sound confident Sp….
The smugness of Wenger and IG tells you everything 🙂
CG, isn’t FFP basically spend as you earn (SAYE)? Teams like RM, FCB, BM, Manure and tne new AFC will still be miles ahead of others. Unlike England, the revenue field is so tilted in Spain. Sorry my reply is coming late, just finished working.
Ha ha Sp, hope you are right….
Ch, I never did get your mail 😉
rico: Re your question from comments on yesterday’s post yes, it is Nigeria or Naija. What blog were you involved with?
Tito Vilanova has stepped down as boss of Barca.
I started out on LG Ch, but never wrote for them and that was a good few years ago now…
Wath said that announcement was due Ts, has he stated why? Really hope and pray its not his health….
I can see ‘Arry at Barca cos e’s a triffic geezer.
This might improve our chances of Cesc. Perhaps!
The presser is not on yet but the APs have commented so it must be true…
The sun and rumours site have put 2 and 2 together and gotten CF04 is joining Man U because of someone’s ill health..
Joan Ferrer is taking over
Sorry about the mail, rico. Haven’t opened it since I read your reply the other day. How did you manage to cope on lg?
I’d say it lessens them Adam….
What saddos Ts, I just hope Tito’s health is good….
No Ch, I hoped you would email me 😉
Not heard of him Ts, is he already at the club?
He is the assistant to Tito…
The scum sun reckon AVB is a contender… 🙂
I think Mg posts on the scum rumour site under a different moniker… 🙂 The scum version of Mg is in a league of his own… 😛
From the utd site…
18 Jul 2013 22:27:52
Press in espana reporting Barca have reluctantly
agreed to deal on Fabregas with the chosen
club being Man United for �40m euros
Believable(20) Unbelievable (35)
Be funny if AVB went there, I’d laugh my … flip flops off…. 😉
Mg is in the know you know Ts, he’s in Spain and knows everything….
What a twurp…
Surely that isn’t true??
Madalena Siqueira is moving to Everton from Granada CF… possible replacement for L.Baines joining the new Ginger faced man at Old Trafford…
Need to get dinner now, back in a short while…
Damaio to Napoli, AVB to Barca… that will be the best summer present ever. 😛
Scums are getting scared AVB will be next Barca coach. Rumours circulating that he has being shortlisted along with Luis enrique
https://twitter.com/English_AS/status/358271578951266304
Ginge, 2 and 2 eh? I never should’ve said that the other day. :).
rico, whatever I say in an email to you isn’t going to stop you from this merger, is it?
Emma… they may go for Laudrup, or Glenda Hoodle if thast happens… 😀
🙂 CH… very true
Luis Enrique is doing a decent job at CV…I suspect they may go for Klopp or Simeone
It’s official now Santos > Flamengo
https://twitter.com/CR_Flamengo/status/358283016134606849
What a vile headline The Sun came up with. It’s like Tito blocking the sale of Cesc
https://twitter.com/TheSunFootball/status/358271451297615872
Vile is the word best suited to those vermins’…
How nice for the paper to ignore the comments from cesc.
My internet connection has being dodgy tonight 😉
Spot on emma, that headline disgusts me…
Evening all…
Link to Live Barca presser here if you want to see Songhito http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoAp9sZsS94
Evening rico, I asked if an email from me would make you feel @ ease before I saw you had left for dinner.
Ch, you obviously enjoy ‘cloak and dagger’ so I will leave you to it…
Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has withdrawn his transfer request and signed a new contract until 2017.
These footballers are attention seeking to the max… lol
Bloomin heck ts, that’s a shocker. Bet AVB is gutted 😉 Maybe they will try and sign Higuain now…
very sad… all the money can’t help him… My prayers are with Tito and his family…
He shot himself in the foot especailly after just one season… the backlash was too much. I suspect if he has another decent season and a good WC he will be off…
The swampies are now down to option D.. Crouch and Odewinge and the likes… 🙂
Is the 40m clause in Suarez contract a release clause? If so, surely Rogers can’t say he wants 55m nor that he won’t sell.
Hi Brad… its not a release clause… its a ’round the table’ clause. The jist of it is that if a bid of that amount is received then the club have to inform Suarez and the dippers have to negotiate with the bidding club. At least that is what talksports radio explained…
🙂 Ts..
His agent says there is a £40 million get out clause, he must know surely. If he is right, then Rodgers is talking bollards….
Apparently, emma has jinxed my internet connection.
I enjoy cloak, rico, minus the dagger.
Ah, looks like I have that wrong then Ts, but thats not the way Pep’s brother explained it…
Maybe Rogers is learning to play poker. 😀
I hope the release clause is £40M… from what I read from the mirror,there appears to be a clause but not a buy out clause in explicit terms as Cavani’s…
The newspaper claims Liverpool interpret the stipulation as that they “must consider” offers of £40 million or more, whereas Suarez’s agent, Pere Guardiola, believes such an offer “would effectively trigger his release”.
that’s a weird clause ts. So they can ask any price and say we listened to their offer but it wasn’t what we value him at. What’s the use of the clause then?
I hope Pere Guardiola has it right….
As Wath said earlier though, why try and keep a really unhappy player.
AW could have done that with the old badger last summer but we would have ended up with a sulker for a year then lose him on a freebie….
I hope it’s a release cause too
Suarez, Bernard, Gustavo and Mata…
Well, if all the paps talk is right, we’ll all be happy and Kev will be a fiver down 😉
I really hope we get Suarez. He is a better striker than others we’ve been linked to, imo.
He’d be a huge signing Ch, as would Rooney
Suarez was a gamble when he was bought and if you remember his first full season was ok… 16 goals from 37 starts… 3 of those goals were in the FA cup…
Seems like the only people not mouthing off about Suarez are Arsenal, who have remained schtum throughout. Rogers seems completely flummoxed by the whole thing.
But most overseas players are like that Ts, not many walk into the PL and blow it away, even TH and DB struggled for a while 😉
That’s because we are a class above the dippers Adam 😉
True Rico. I can’t understand what the £40 million represents. If it isn’t a release clause and only the point that talks would start then that seems pretty weird.
On that point I wish you all a fine evening. Nighty..
Its the difference in Class Adam 🙂
Rico I was referring to his 2nd season i.e first full season as he joined the January before…
Night Adam…
Still wasn’t too bad Ts, better than Giroud’s first and nearly as good as TW last season 😉
The swampies are struggling to beat Colchester with Bale in the squad… there is no Paulinho is what they will say to themselves… lol
Night Adam
OG scored 17 goals didn’t he… albeit 11 in the league
🙂 Rico… I know you were kidding
Jovetic has signed for City….
Of course Ts – you know me too well….
Yes what a numpty… he said he chose $hitty because of his countryman Novetic 😉
I’m off for the day now, have a good evening all..
Night Ts, Ch, Bradster and anyone else reading…
Twurp isn’t it….

Reading yesterday mornings comments just make ya want to give up.

Well write a post and put your opinions up for discussion you fecking tossers.
Either that or sling your hook onto another blog.
Jeez, some bloggers make ya despair…

They’re all the rage. Adam has a pair to go with his red spandex trousers.
I have a pair for work.
And Wath has a pair for when he is grumpy, which is all the time. 😉
Wow ! Kev , what did I miss with the internet down and mobile signals all over the place. Reckon it’s the unseasonal heat wearing people down. I like it though.
Morning all..
Feel better for that Kev? 😉
Morning Rico and all.
Was that a late night or an early morning Kev? 🙂
I find spandex quite restricting in the heat myself.
Morning Rico and all HHers’
