7. "villa? oh fuck no. that's that shit i do not like." In response to Reply # 6
he's GOTTA get his finishing in order if he wants to make it at United. his general play cooks but the motherfucker is clumsy as shit on the ball when it's time to shoot.
n/o but if he's going on loan Villa would be an awful place for him to land.
8. "Doubt it with the Henriquez loan done" In response to Reply # 6
and with Bebe shuffled out the door, that leaves RVP, Chicharito, Rooney, Welbeck and Macheda the only available first team strikers, and Welbeck is on the CLeague roster, too. He'll stay and play as needed in attack or on the wings.
14. "Mirror is a crap source, " In response to Reply # 0
The Mirror is a crap source, but according to their statements, ba has to pass a physical first in order for the deal to go through.
If he does not pass, then the deal is off, according to their records.
I say go through with it even if he fails......He failed a physical at stoke city, but after that he went on to West Ham and became very productive, and went on to castle to become quality.....plus see RVP( constantly injured at arsenal)
16. "Debuchy to Newcastle" In response to Reply # 0
joining his buddy Cabaye and the large french contingent there. Maybe he can help them right the ship, since their defense is quite porous. I think he will thrive in the EPL.
17. "I like this move..." In response to Reply # 16
I like it a lot. But I wonder who Newcastle will bring in to replace Ba.

Can't see him tick over Cole or Vas Te though. He'll be an option off the bench though. Not bad if they got him for cheap.

21. "Giuseppe Rossi moves to Fiorentina???" In response to Reply # 0
I thought they were having money issues in Florence? Supposedly at 12 Million euro sale, but if he can come back from injury to where he was, it will be a steal.

35. "that's where my money was too " In response to Reply # 34
with the directors you mentioned, the money, new training facility and an article in the guardian this morning with him saying he wanted to coach in the EPL ... and then ... bayern?
like TJT said in the weekly thread, good move to a great club with less stress than el clasico or top four in england.
37. "I wouldn't say odd. Pep chose low stress and quality of life" In response to Reply # 33
The high stress environment and the toll it had on him was a major factor in him leaving Barcelona...I think dude thoroughly enjoys the thought of coaching for a major club in relatively low stress league.

38. "I was hoping he'd go to BVB" In response to Reply # 31
They can't afford him though. Really, I was hoping he'd wait until the end of the season and return to Barça next season but that was just dreaming anyway. Glad its not Chelsea.

That is a long, long time. Some players, particularly ones that could pretty much name the club they want to play for, may get a bit bored after that amount of time.
44. "That makes a lot of sense." In response to Reply # 42
If you're at the top of your game, why not see other things and get some new experiences if you can.

52. "he certainly is not." In response to Reply # 47
also, if this gets Iker to barca as the ultimate fuck you to mourinho and real madrid, I'll count it as a win.
I'll also be ok with Courtois...Musiera might be interesting (remember how much he balled out for uruguay?) ...as long as Pinto stays off the field for Liga and CL games, i'm good.

58. "They had a 10M deal for Valencia's keeper last summer" In response to Reply # 52
when they got Alba. If they can get that going again, it'd be a great buy.
Courtois has been playing well, too. I've also heard they're looking at De Gea but he'll probably cost too much (should United even be willing to sell) and I don't ever see Casillas moving to Barca in any possible world lol. That *would* be great though.

Not a bad decision at all for all parties. His career is really starting to parallel Henry's career.

His performances up top really showed what type of quality he has. He really helped himself. Now, he just needs to stay healthy.

$3.5 M fee. If he can return to form, this is a wonderful move.

reportedly each in milan's crosshairs.. would be super interesting if they somehow landed both, but I think that ricardo is a done deal and balotelli is not going anywhere quite yet

sneijder to galatasaray finally done deal newcastle made a good move swooping for Yanga-Mbiwa. arsenal rumored to be after wanyama from celtic, if not him then diame from west ham. either would be really smart, imo.
65. "Dude, they were one of my go to teams 2 years ago...them and Milan" In response to Reply # 63
But those teams have been gutted recently. I find them pretty unplayable.

i play with the Dynamo, FC Seoul, USMNT, and Inter i dont have a system anymore so i'm relegated to iOS now but ever since they've added online play, those are my go-tos some days i just dont feel like working as hard so i play with Inter
71. "It's an outright purchase. 4.5 years." In response to Reply # 69
But it does leave MCFC short of a striker, as they only have Tevez, Aguero, and Dzeko.
I do realize how ridiculous that statement is, but they will have problems if they have any injuries up top.

Well, he had that release clause added to his contract. That was how newcastle was able to get him so cheap, and how a lot of mediocre teams are able to get quality players.
An upcoming player will sign with a team for cheap so that the team can buy him. However, the player negotiates a low release clause in his contract, so that he can bolt to a big team once his stardom rises and when bigger clubs come calling.
Newcastle got him off of a free loan from West Ham, and they were only paying him 20,000 a week, and an additional 20, 000 for every game started.....
83. "RE: think you mean chelsea getting him cheap" In response to Reply # 81 Thu Jan-31-13 02:27 PM by all stah
no newcastle got him for cheap.....they got him off of FREE TRANSFER from west ham, and he was paid low wages( only 20,000 guaranteed, the other 20 he had to earn in each game ...by being on the field because of their knee concerns) , but the goldmine for ba was his release clause
newcastle wanted to keep him , and they were willing to pay him top wages, but he refused to drop his release clause because he wanted to go to a big team
chelsea still paid 7 million to get him ...chump change ...but newcastle paid nothing to get him from west ham.
also a lot of players have release clauses in the epl.....it's just that ba's clause was really, really low( strategically)..Fellaini's release clause is at 22million right now.

Ramsey nor Arteta are the answer because niether of them provide the cover and ball winning ability needed to support our thoroughly mediocre (at best) center backs.

>The fact that this may mean I'll never have to see Santos >again is a win. > >I actually like coquelin, he's not dynamic but pretty steady. >Ave no idea how Ramsey is ahead of him in pecking order. Or >is he hurt?
Coquelin was injured but will be available this weekend according to Wenger. I'll live with Nacho but I wanted Mertesacker relegated to the bench. That won't happen now.

this is a move that slipped under my radar...really disappointing when big players with potential move laterally rather than vertically (how I felt about Hulk's move from Portugal to Russia, for instance) but that's where the money is!
really good player..i guess im happy he's not somewhere wack like chelsea, but i wont ever get to see him play in russia (not that we got to see him play in the ukrainian league but...at last shakhtar are perennial champions leaguers..also they were my sleeper to do damage in the knockout stages this year).
