Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

They'll be pretty tough to play against with De Jong and Toure on the field, just need to drop that sack of shit Barry and they've got a good thing going.

Note to Wenger cheeky £10m for Stephen Ireland please

Hope Fergie gets to both first

 

[Talivar]

Out of pity for United i was going to send them £10 to double their fransfer kitty! but then they snubbed joe cole so changed mind!

You want to sign two Man City rejects? Hah, i think the tides have turned.

Oh, wrong quote, I meant Oezil and Ireland

Looks like Liverpool has let Benayoun go to Chelsea, crazy they sold him on considering he was one of their better players last season.

 

[soze]

I have no idea if its true but one of the Rumour sites said Yosi had to go because of his nationality and they fact the potential new owners are Arab. Like i said no idea if its true.

 

[Ch3tan]

Really good signing from Ancelotti, perfect replacement for Cole, and much more creative and consistent than Ballack. Huge loss for Liverpool, but Liverpool have stated that Rafa agreed to release Yousi before he left for Inter. So Benitez continues to fuck things up for the scousers.

Yaya Toure on £220k per week lol

 

[megadave]

Where does it say that?

 

[Raven]

I hope their owners pull out and leave them with masses of debt

 

[georgie]

Where does it say that?

Here

 

[Ch3tan]

Meh, we'll never know until we see the figures for their wage bill last season in comparison with next. Which won't be for over a year.

 

[megadave]

Here

so we can safely assume it's aload of shit

That's your job, I refuse to use that monstrosity that some other person who is not Aoln created though.

Fucking insane isn't it? I expect a full on spendingfest from the dirty blues in the next few weeks, they are going to burn money to win the league and make what Roman spent a few years back look like an absolute pittance.

Yaya was foreign playing in Spain so in that tiny tax bracket, if his tax is now doubled he must be on a fortune to give him the pay rise he would need to make playing for city worth it??

Local radio is reporting those figures are accurate, confirmed by club insiders it seems. Talksport have also chased it up and seem convinced it is correct.

Week before the season starts imo oh mighty footballthreadmaker.

It's surprising you don't go to Man City for the prestige of playing for Man City do you?

Same as Chel$ki back in the day Ballsack got 140k a week was it? which was well over Henry's wages at the time.

2 weeks before imo, transfer market will be in full flow and all the good pre-season games will be underway.

120 I believe, which is probably why we let him go. Our wage list should be a little bit healthier after this summer and will realistically break even atlast.

Man City on the other hand, they must be expecting massive losses, how on earth will they ever meet those financial regulations anytime soon?

The owner will give them £10 million a month and add £10 millions worth of shares a month lol. Only way they could. Or get his company to sign a ridiculous sponsorship deal.

You know what the best bit is? The owners think they can extend the stadium and fill it, yet they can't even fill the current one without doing cutprice offers. Every home game they are on Talksport flogging tickets because they haven't sold out. I am sure City fans will tell you that they are a massive club but the truth is that they aren't, they have a hardcore following but after that it is very flimsy and thier merchandise numbers are a joke. They don't have a good business there at the moment and it is going to take years to build one, there is no way they can meet any financial regulations without fiddling the books.

Ronaldo's had a baby, sounds like an accident child

Nothing wrong with sharing the love.

 

[Talivar]

Glad you agree Chodaxx, i can tell your gf we dont have to sneak around anymore now!

That is ok, it is only fair to share. Just make sure you don't end up stirring my man custard.

 

[Talivar]

I promise to try not to!

 

[Turamber]

Fucking insane isn't it? I expect a full on spendingfest from the dirty blues in the next few weeks, they are going to burn money to win the league and make what Roman spent a few years back look like an absolute pittance.

And yet the players they are signing are distinctly 'B list'. No World Class player will want to go there and play in the Europa shitty league. Okay they have Robinho but he hates the place.

Also Mancini does not have the reputation or the ability to handle all those egos, he will be gone by around Christmas.

Good article here by the way:
