BBC Sport - Football - South Korean Park Ji-sung quits international football

 

[cHodAX]

I am glad, losing him for 6 weeks every 2 years in the middle of the season is a complete pain in the arse. He knows he is going to have a fight to establish himself again, all that after securing a starting 11 spot with half a dozen fantastic performances but United wait for no one and with Valencia back in the next month Ji may have shot himself in the foot going to the Asian Cup.

Big loss for Korea tbh.

BBC Sport - Football - Jonathan Woodgate rejected Wolves loan - Mick McCarthy

Lols.. rejected by a cripple.

 

[Everz]

BBC Sport - Football - West Brom sign Arsenal striker Carlos Vela on loan

Motherfuckers.

Tell me about it, we lose 4 players every ACN.

Think Arsenal this season have come of age tbh, seem to have a reliable keeper since the young pole came in (cba to attempt the name). Seems there at least going to end the season with one trophy.

I would agree to a certain extent, but for me this hasn't exactly been a good season for any of those towards the top.

Yep, ACN has messed you up at least once iirc. Mickey Mouse tournament as well, should be forced to run it in our summer - thier winter.

 

[Embattle]

I'm starting to get worried about the Torres rumors now

Well even if you don't lose him in this transfer window I think you can be sure he isn't going to stay for much longer.

we usually some how end up winning every game during the ACON

As I said earlier, I was expecting him to leave in the next summer window, not January tho

edit: and certainly not for Chel$ki

 

[Vladamir]

It'll be City or Chelsea he goes to, if he goes.

Barca don't need him, can't see him going to Italy and his ties with Athletico, in theory, prevent his move to Madrid.

If Tevez is off in the summer what's to stop him going there?

I was thinking Inter/Juve/Bayern, think he stated sometime he wanted to play in all 4 big leagues. Might be wrong tho

 

[Calaen]

So Liverpool have rejected a transfer request. He's gonna get some shit

 

[Vladamir]

Reds reject Torres request | Sky Sports | Chelsea News | Football | Premier League

Who's next on our shopping list?

Lets go for Messi!

 

[megadave]

if he does move this window, his first game would be chelsea v liverpool

 

[Everz]

Seems the word is Stekelenburg is being linked with United.. seems a pretty viable option with Ajax being broke and all that.

Broke? they still have 30mil in their pockets and now have 26mil thanks to suarez going to liverpool.

+ Emanuelson to milan and the fact that some teams would like to buy el hamdouie because he isn't happy at ajax atm(10-15mil)

But yes, Stekelenburg will probably go soon, but no because they are broke.

van der wiel should fetch them some good money as well

 

[Vladamir]

Reports today are saying a bid for £42.5m plus Sturridge is on the cards.

Great news, now we'll be alienating one of our young players who's looked better than most in his appearances this season

Dont know what to think tbh, cause that is a good deal imo. Even for Torres

 

[tierk]

I hope that the club takes a militant stance and refuse to do the deal. Sell him in the summer and not to a club in England, you dont sell your best players to your direct competitors.

Look and learn from SAF it's not always about the money.

 

[megadave]

i hope we dont make an improved bid, he aint worth it

 

[Vladamir]

Would rather spend half of that (at most) on Lukaku TBH.

 

[cHodAX]

With his history of injuries I totally agree, far too big a risk at that price nevermind anything higher.

 

[megadave]

Yep, could easily lose his pace in the next couple of years which he relies on a lot

 

[cHodAX]

How are your mob playing btw?

 

[megadave]

anelka probably should have put us in the lead, tough game though everton are pressing really well

Rodwell playing ok? Alot of rumours lately that we will be in for him in the summer once we offload Carrick and Gibson.

 

[megadave]

yeah think he's playing behind the striker today
