"We've momentum and we can't afford to lose it tbh"- The '13-'14 summer transfer window thread for PL and beyond

what is that priest going to do with €670k

its a very good price for dortmund considering the exorbitant fees paid for willian fernandinho & txigrinski......no way they would have got that if akhmetov held the entire rights

nn where is that img from and does it come with a glossary

the woman would appear to be http://www.gov.am/en/gov-members/220/

this goes right to the top

and look there's clive owen in the bottom right

relieved when i realised it's the shit thiago united are signing.

would be nice if the latest alonso back to liverpool rumours had substance.

And the to chelsea rumours didnt....

Tho tbh im comin around on chelsea over the past year

to chelsea? jeez rafa's one thing but xabi? can't happen. wd obv take him back at anfield in a heartbeat.

Paulinho xabi sandro dembele would prob be crowded so imma let you have this one

fairly sure ancelotti would want to keep him for at least year and then maybe next year illarrameni is ready to take his xi place

lovely set of lads in the hitlerjugend, look nice in their uniforms don't they. blue really sets off their eyes

^ board conscience, keep that flame burning

illaramendi transfer is speculated at the €30m release clause which is an awful lot of money for a defensive midfielder who has never played for spain

how would a dm play for spain tho, reserve gk and carrying the kits?

that old spanish premium again xp

toulalan next to rock up at monaco

i didnt really mind so much with falcao for some reason but cavani to psg would (will) be wack as fuck

I first heard of him fourteen mins ago, can't've been €30m

time was i would have known all about him but i only saw real sociedad once or twice last season & in a couple of spain u-21 games

toulalan is a really good player, closest thing to makalélé around these days.....bery boring but very accomplished in his limited regime

Paulinho's arrival has left Tottenham defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto a little perplexed.

Assou-Ekotto told Goal.com: ' I don’t know what he looks like. I don’t know him, I don’t follow this kind of news

'It’s like two or three years ago, Rafael van der Vaart was there in training one day. I said hello to him but I didn’t know he was Rafael van der Vaart.

he may talk to you, goal.com, but he would never lower himself to read you

this guy is a tool. as if he doesn't know people are c+ping these incessant and obvious attempts to raise his status beyond sportsperson #20303.

He wont be a player at any club that would buy him.

Ha, Arsenal actually have gone & bid for Suarez. Typically, it was only £30m.

BAE genuinely doesn't seem to care about football, above turning up to train and play. I'm not sure how much of an image-building exercise it is.

You can see how that might enrage a manager like AVB who might consider that, y'know, having an idea of what your opponent might do would be potentially useful in a professional fullback. But I think he is fronting to some extent.

Obv I will love him forever for his "kiss the badge and then fuck off" comment.

bae is fine by me, even if it is a schtick it's a good one

presumably if wayne rooney came out like "oh yeah pauline-o, top signing, great tekkers the brazilian lads" then that would be acceptable fronting to a garda

Dont assume bae is fronting, its not like he ever does look like he knows what to expect from an opponent, or were i to be charitable rather he relies on reacting instantly within a void of necessary ignorance so as to avoid wicked assumption.

eh idk if bae was like "who the fuck is nani that's a funny name lol" or someone else he'd played against and been directed to study then that would be a different story. questions about nani's marble statue or dudes coming in from abroad otoh are a plausible ignorance

“I received an indecent offer for Pogba,” Raiola said. “But he is not going to leave Juve this summer.”

shdn't be reading Pogba's sexts imo

lol is holty really going for 4m

and yet a lol underscored by bitterness that he might sort of be worth it

not having to deal with that knobhead's shenanigans really was one of relegation's few silver linings :/

Raiola can fuck right off

i don't think it's fronting really, just think he must be well aware of all the "wau" reactions. it's not even a novel pov, loads of footballers have said similar things.

pretty sure he's not dialling up newspaper hotlines for the scoop on the latest person he hasnt heard of

true. just needs another answer.

does the bae shtick have limits......what if he doesnt/claim not to recognize david villa

'i was aware there was A ronaldinho, beyond that....'

Barcelona are considering sending Thiago Alcantara, David Villa and a small sum of cash to Old Trafford to help lure Wayne Rooney to Spain. The Catalan giants are keen to strengthen their forward line despite already adding Neymar to the ranks this month.

what like a fiver?

They should just buy BAE a Panini sticker album ahead of the next World Cup.

Kone to Everton and Mario Gomez to Fiorentina are now confirmed afaict.

In the early hours of 23 September 2012, police were called to a house in Enfield, north London after reports of a disturbance. The front door of the property was badly damaged and Ranger was arrested at the scene and later charged with criminal damage.[21] The charge against Ranger was dropped in November 2012 after the court accepted his explanation that he had damaged the door after fearing his girlfriend was being kidnapped.[22]

On 25 January 2013, Ranger was arrested on suspicion of rape in a Newcastle hotel room.[23]

On 14 March 2013, Ranger was— arrested on suspicion of assault.[24]
