So, word around the campfire is...

It seems that the Granada game was on the 7th Anniversary of Ronaldos' Old Mans' death, upset because Madrid refused to let him have the time off.

 

[Everz]

Anderson 32?!? Holy shit makes Carroll seem cheap

 

[Everz]

Thats 426million € for the lazy amongst us.

To think they still have Moutinho to sell aswell as the next batch in Juan Iturbe, Jackson Martinez and FM WONDERKID (tm Wazz) James Rodriguez.

 

[Lethul]

Portugal don't have those Work Permit rules or?

 

[Everz]

Not for latin speaking countries afaik?

Hence why most South Americans (and ex- Portuguese African colonies) are able to go there relatively easy.

 

[Litmus]

Brazil used to be a Portuguese collony and they still have a pretty close relationship with regards to open borders, a Brazilian passport holder has little problems getting into Portugal and vise versa.

e.g this is the main way Brazilian illegal immigrants find there way into the EU.

 

[Litmus]

... which is pretty handy for the Portuguese clubs, they can snap up all the Brazilian kids with no visa's and if they are any good normally end up at Europe's top clubs for silly money.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19470785 wow look how many appearances berba had for man u last season.... cant say I noticed him in that many games



"The striker, 31, made only 612 Premier League appearances for United in 2011-12 and moved to Fulham last week."

so utd played at least 612 games (I assume more than that if Berba 'only' apeared int hat many) and yet STILL only drew on points with city who played only 38 games??? You are so shit...

 

[soze]

Anderson 32?!? Holy shit makes Carroll seem cheap

Anderson cost £18m from what I remember but he is always reported as £6m in the "look what teams have spent" stories maybe just has a lot of add on clauses.

 

[Ch3tan]

Porto claim 32 million euros, utd disagree.

 

[megadave]

So we've now got 4 midfielders for 2-3 more midfield spots, one of who is romeu? How the fuck will that work? It can only end badly.

 

[megadave]

Porto claim 32 million euros, utd disagree.

Portos financial accounts show 32m, utd fans refuse to believe it.

 

[Aoami]

wonder how long before sky start showing russian football?

 

[Embattle]

Indeed, 50m euros supposedly

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8049342

The times I've seen him he hasn't been worth any where near that, for such a big guy he seems rather easy to push off the ball.

 

[Vladamir]

If Romeu becomes a fucking badass then it will do wonders for his development but RDM does not appear to favour him too much..

 

[soze]

Loris is already moaning about life at Spuds

And Owen set to resign for Liverpool to provide cover for the 2 deep striker position??

 

[Ch3tan]

Stoke for Owen.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Since the start of 2012 Arsenal have won as many league games at Anfield as Liverpool have.

 

[Ch3tan]

http://www.greenfieldreporter.com/view/story/2aa4e89f2b66469b89c2a02c6cfcb286/SOC--Del-Piero-Future < Saints or Sydney for a legend?

 

[Aoami]

I thought he'd signed for Sydney? I knew that Adkins had been in contact with him.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

T Hud's shameless show of reckless violence has been disgracefully rescinded, no more red card for him.

 

[Ormorof]

Indeed, 50m euros supposedly

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8049342

€60m according to that article, but only £32m according to BBC

That is an awful lot of money, cant they throw some my way?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Owen has signed for Stoke.

 

[caLLous]

Newcastle United striker Demba Ba banned from driving

Silly sausage.

 

[gohan]

Owen has signed for Stoke.

gay why do liverpool always fail to sign him even tho everytime he's avaliable we need a striker......

we should have signed him back from madrid instantly, and definately should have got him on a free before he went utd, he's knocking on now but we have no strikers so should still sign him... and heskey and fowler, lets roll back a decade xD

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Liverpool are trying to hijack Del Piero's move.
