Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

Nasri just using the Man Utd thing to get a bumper Arsenal pay that he's been angling for. He wants Cesc wages which is a bit much tbh.

 

[Raven]

At least he plays rather than warming the treatment table...

 

[Turamber]

I can only imagine Ashley decided to leave the Villa due to his disappointment at the manager's job being passed over by Roberto Martinez. One of very few people to actually do a worse job than Gerard Houllier last year. Hmmm.

BBC Sport - Football - Glenn Hoddle Academy rules out Rushden & Diamonds link

Bit of a shame.

And they've been expelled from the conference at today's AGM, got a winding up order on Monday they're apparently unable to contest too, Southport are the first winners of this years AGM cup it seems.

Can't decide whether I'm sad to see a club collapse, or happy because it's Rushden

 

[Everz]

Que sera sera Rushden.

u21s championship starts today !

i stuck some dollar on iceland to win their match since they seem to have a good crop

 

[Shagrat]

where are the matches being shown, Sky?

 

[megadave]

Yeah, Belarus vs Iceland then Denmark vs Switzerland. Sky Sports 1 from 5ish.

Bit of a rivalry heating up. Some typical arrogant Barcelona dago trying to insult the English team because he hasn't heard of them. I wonder how many people had heard of him until a couple of weeks ago? Let alone half the rest of their squad.

I'm fairly sure calling him an 'Ace' is misrepresentation of the truth on a rather large scale.....

I'm not sure there is a scale big enough TBFH

In a team that play him as target man I think he will be a great buy for 8 or 9 million.

Uhh it's in the Daily Mail that Liverpool have bid 22m for Jones :O

:O

Daily Mail though :|

 

[Cerb]

if his buyout clause is 16 mill and he wants to go to United it wouldnt matter though would it?

 

[Corran]

if his buyout clause is 16 mill and he wants to go to United it wouldnt matter though would it?

Apparently there is a massive legal wrangle going on at the moment.

Clause in contract mentions 16m or so.
Utd bid the clause
Jones agreed personal terms
Blackburn gone "Not enough money, wont sign it off now" and saying that the clause in the contract does not mean they have to accept the bid.

I cant see Jones going to Liverpool unless blackburn got a solid legal case, and that Man Utd are unwilling to increase the offer. 4-6million on such a young player, they probably will make an agreement for if no other way ...especially as it the scummy scousers trying to get in there!

 

[Ch3tan]

Actually the release clause is just that. If the player wants to leave he can as long as that fee is met. Blackburn can do nothing but make themselves look like idiots here.

There is one problem, we do not know the exact wording of the contract. If their lawyers were sly and put something in that can be twisted then it will be down to Jones to take it to court and argue the case, I would think. Will he do that to his local club? possible if they going to do this to him simply because they couldnt predict how quickly he would develop.

Dont think they could look more like idiots after their takeover.. the Ronaldinho scenario etc ...

sad (and embarrasing) times for a supporter

 

[cHodAX]

Very messy, surely a clause is exactly that, a price at which you agree to sell.

 

[Everz]

Everywhere reporting we had another bid turned down by Blues for Roger Johnson..come on you useless broke pricks.. sell him to us.

 

[soze]

The clause might be to let him talk to other clubs or something silly.

 

[Everz]

Young has apparently had it off with Ridgewell's missus.. fucking lol.

Prompting this...

BIRMINGHAM City star Liam Ridgewell and sweetheart Kirsty MacLaren have sensationally cancelled their wedding – just eight days before the ceremony.

The former Blues captain, 26, had planned to wed his fiancée in a lavish £170,000 bash at a luxury Midland country hotel next Saturday.

But the couple dramatically called off the nuptials on Friday by sending a text to their 200 guests.

By coincidence, the decision came just 24 hours after Ridgewell’s best friend Ashley Young cancelled his own wedding to Nicky Pike.

The Carling Cup winner and Kirsty, 23, sent a dramatic text to guests which read: “Dear All. We are very saddened to inform you that we have had to cancel our wedding planned for the 18th June @ Stapleford Park.


“It has not been an easy decision but has been mutually made by both of us.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would ask for your understanding at this difficult time.

‘‘Many thanks Liam and Kirsty.”

He's gonna fit well in at United. lols.

One less thing for Giggs to worry about teaching Young I suppose
