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

Argh this is why you should always read the story and just ignore the headline. My head hurts with the cognitive dissonance.

30. BBC and Jake Humphrey Fan

QPRs spending is outrageous & I hope financial fairplay rules will stop this sinking club from taking the game down with it. It's clubs like QPR, Swansea, Southampton & Norwich who are ruining the game with recent reckless spending on average players.

At least big clubs like Liverpool & Man Utd generate a lot of income for our country due to the tourist fans attending their games.

"BBC and Jake Humphrey Fan"

What does this mean? The poster was a fan of both the BBC and Jake Humphrey? This is a joint statement issued by the BBC and Mr J H Fan?

idk nbs, def one for your keen wit to untangle

r|t|c getting more and more objectionable as yeovil away approaches imo

yeesh can't compliment anyone in this hive of insecurity

:D

at last somebody's named and shamed the big 4 clubs dragging football into the gutter

kinda feel BBC&JH Fan might be taking the piss. So hard to tell these days.

i like it either way tbf

Anyone else up in here watching this Bayern - Barca game at the Allianz? Didn't catch all the team news, but so far I've definitely got:

Bayern - Thiago, Muller, Lahm, Ribery, Robben, Neueur
Barca - Messi, Sanchez, Mascherano, Tello, Song, Valdes

PRe-season friendly it may be, but Guardiola's first game against Barca is not one to be missed in the current fb dry spell.

Sorry it's all Motown up in here now. See you Saturday.

scratch Valdes, I just saw Pinto.

This is gonna be 40 mins each way, so as not to detract from the Women's semi final later tonight. Quite right too

Well apparently the time change was actually forced by Barca turning up 45 minutes later. I'm a mine of incorrect information tonight

*late, fuck it all, i'm off to watch the game

yet another example of Barca magnanimity later revealed as them being cunts

Napoli and Fiorentina having great summers, despite each selling their biggest star/talent. could make seria a quite interesting.

maybe not interesting in that juve will still probably win the league, but fun to watch.

Have to feel with Suarez being allowed to talk to Arsenal and Henry's guff this morning there's a hint of Liverpool preparing the waters to sell him for 40m undisclosed and act like they got more.

Suarez to talk with Arsenal, gah

Suarez will sure sink his teeth into those talks amirite

I assume the talking was what the contract ambiguity was about. £40m starts a bidding war imo, no way is that the final fee.

Oh yeah xp. They're building a new stadium though, that might constrain things a bunch.

they've already bought strootman and the croatian youngster jedvaj
i'm a bit nervous that strootman will restrict michael bradley's playing time leading up to the world cup.

Asked about Arsenal’s interest, Rodgers said: “There’s no doubt that the market these days for top players is very small, so Luis will always be linked with top clubs.

“I think that the support he has always received from the supporters and the people of the city of Liverpool has been unrivalled. He’s missed a lot of games for the club for various reasons, and the people have stood by him like a son, and really looked after him.

“So I’m sure whatever happens in the coming weeks, that will be in his mind, because it’s certainly something you can never forget.”

they also signed maicon :/
xp

I'm not Serie A connoisseur but am a bit bemused at Roma splashing the cash this summer. I thought all Italian clubs were struggling financially (except Napoli bcz of great sales).

Am still bummed Strootman chose to leave PSV for Roma tbh.

"i fink it's all been agreed"

i hate gary hooper

lol

Tonight I'm getting really annoyed at the bid being reported everywhere as £40m + £1. Write it as £40,000,001 you morons, we get it already and the long figure looks so much cooler.

I don't think it's unreasonable to be enraged by that.

it is

those aforebemoaned lying italian scamps are now setting twitter aflame with heady claims of jackson martinez to napoli

think i have a few nu groove 12s by him.

I was at Pomodoro Rosso on Saturday, the service was shocking. Think twice, Jackson.

ya

I mean he's no Matty Burrows...

no, surely he's not. but a good un nonetheless

more impressed by lacazette from that tbrr

yeah, how could he miss really?

Okay, now there's a goal. I've got nothing but goodwill for Lyon this year.

Norwich have now agreed terms for Celtic's Gary Hooper and we understand he will have medical there later today. QPR set to miss out.

Has Hooper agreed the move, or is that Celtic accepting QPR's bid and leaving room to fluch out Norwich or whoever?

Norwich have been fluched.
