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

And the European Cup.

£2m for a one trick pony and complete bell end, seen worse deals i suppose

Luis Suarez's contract does not have a clause obliging Liverpool to sell him for a fee in excess of £40m, says players' union chief Gordon Taylor.
"If there is a minimum offer of £40m then the parties will discuss things but it does not say the club has to sell," said Taylor, boss of the Professional Footballers' Association.
"There is a 'good faith' clause in relation to serious discussions, but I can't say it is a cast-iron buy-out clause."

you have yes oh xp klata damn you

apparently we're so totally over adel that we're signing assaidi now. me likey

Get it right up ye Suarez and imago

relatively likeable owners who perpetuated the harshest sacking in recent football history, may I add...although the ends have possibly justified in this case

theyve not really but he isnt as irritating yet

Assaidi would run riot in the Championship imo.

suarez must be fucked if he can't even get gordon taylor onside

if thats correct then suarez' agents/lawyers must be retarded

else maybe they.......suggested.....he sign the contract in order to get their comission without necessarily performing their fiduciary duties to the full

thats' the most stupid clause i've ever heard of

Nah, it's pretty common to fudge unagreeable things in contracts ("shall use best endeavours to...", "shall act in good faith...", that sort of thing) to get agreement on the main stuff then hope the ground shifts so you never have to argue about what it actually means.

It is stupid to try to rely on it, yes.

yeah i dont think suarez would have thought of his contract in those terms, especially having lost the case when he was with groningen and trying to leave

taylor clarifies things nicely here:

"You are hoping the club say, 'If you are determined to go, this is the figure we are looking at but if you are prepared to stay another year and you still want to go we will accept this much'.

nult is nodding sagely reading that.

hope, present continuous (it is neither in this case)

Heh, naughty step for Luis

after this and modric 2011 i hope every imbecile foreign fitba player joining an epl club below the top tier in the hope of moving to an established champions league club a couple years later INSISTS on a simple buyout clause

that way the summer can be about the really crucial stories, the twps, the baineses, the baleses etc

Lol xp

article says he is being punished for shitty attitude in training and friendlies, not the interviews.

the new season almost upon us

can I just fuckin...

:(

it's kinda too obv to loathe him isnt it

still look at that face tho, what can you do

"I will take strong, decisive action. There has been total disrespect of the club - this is a club that is historically one of the biggest in the world and has given him everything; absolutely everything.

I wonder if Wenger is going to get a set of t-shirts printed in support of Suarez

They would still look like a group of schoolkids on an outing. He could walk in front carrying a little flag.

Bernard has apparently signed for Shakhtar - £25m.

Think Baines is playing John Higgins at the Crucible this week.

two nipples, two goals

that 2nd goal though like, i know he's pegging it but did you maaaaybe wanna keep an eye on him u reckon

cashley just staring at the ball without a care in the world

It's an inferior cover version of his goal against Roma but it'll do for a pre-season friendly

(my favourite Ronaldo goal ever btw)

C-Ron is reportedly really fucked off* at the money being thrown at Bale, expect a few Still The Daddy type celebrations in the coming weeks.

*Along with a fair chunk of the Madrid dressing room.

yeah, Bale's an inferior cover version too

Great .gifwork on that second, how he's the blur then bam! he's in focus and everyone else is nowhere

Any word on Bale's prospective wages? I wouldn't've thought Real would have to stretch too far

I think if you're the most expensive footballer of all time you get to command decent money.

Lisandro Lopez has gone to Qatar - does that mean Gomis will probably stay put or are they still going to be hawking him to all and sundry?

Looks like Igor Denisov will be going to Dinamo Moscow.

JAY SPEARING HAS GONE TO BOLTON

YES!

just messing jay, if you're reading. i do think it's best for all concerned though.

official Utd statement apparently? wtf

"We appreciate Cesc is a contracted player at Barcelona, and completely respect everything Cesc has said today."

lol

they need to get De Gea in the same room as him to force a Man U strip onto him, that's how you respect a player's contract
