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

Anybody see Liverpool-Celtic yesterday?

I just read the name 'Joe Cole' and took a good ten seconds to remember who that was.

There'll be an indie band called Dicked By Six ere long

xp pft, wait 'til Fulham visit Southampton this season

rather be tried by 12 than dicked by 6, as the old football saying goes

Mick McCarthy was dicked by six, dicked by six, dicked by six.

Has a nice clapping nursery rhyme quality to it.

Mickkkkkkkkked by sixxxxxxxxx <3

Barca bid £15m for Agger (rejected), just what we need ffs

Hold on - that's Luiz, Vertonghen and Agger all within the last week? They all make sense, like, but it's a kind of scattergun approach to business if so.

nah not really, increasing the power of the buyer by making clear there are alternatives in the supply market obv

That's not all: Dutch press reported today Spurs made a 17m euro bid for Eriksen and Alderweireld. Marc 'Marc Credit' Overmars denied the bid, but that doesn't say a whole lot tbh.

You just expect better from the side whose last CB signing was Alex Song is all

Everton have offered £5m for Alderweireld.

xposts. didn't see lfc-celtic. did you? any good? i've had a shocker of a pre-season. saw the preston match, kept falling asleep during valerenga, and wasn't able to see the rest.

Anyway, the Luiz bid indicates that Barca've got £35m burning a hole in their pocket, and aren't that fussy about how much defensive steel they spend it on - not great poker face imo

Yeah but Alderweireld is picky. He wants to go the Vertonghen or Vermaelen route. He's not as good as those two, not by far, but it's why he denied Spartak Moscow and Everton etc.

Xxp

xp I've not seen anything, keeping my powder dry in hope BT Sport comes through this week. Reports sound a bit concerning though.

it would appear duvan zapata is in the qpr bag if we can get the work permit

I missed Liverpool v Celtic because I was in the pub with Michael Jones of this parish and somehow we managed to pick a pub with no telly and I forgot it was on anyway.

I cleaned the house before picking girl up at airport

Simple question turning thread into whobilf

picked up a decent win on Liverpool-Celtic as "most dual team scarfs ever" at 11-10

3000 more than Man U - Caina AFC iirc

Stace asked me if there was likely to be trouble at a liv/celtic game in dublin and i had to explain that it was basically the same set of fans

that doesnt entirely answer the question

She had, tbh, stopped listening at 'they'

I watched the last ten minutes of Liverpool Celtic. I did not reach any conclusions. Amido Balde got MOTM

kid i used to know took a girl to a millwall game for a first date when we were 15 which she was inordinately impressed by

idk

like im sure some ppl would be like woah hardcore at a gg allin first date, edgy kinda thing?

oh yeah i forgot to say Coutinho shit himself and rubbed it in Rodgers face

Tshirt will be epic

I got updates on the Liv-Cel game by text from a friend along the lines of "1-0 us, Balde", "this is pish", "finished 1-0".

Hurst says the move has not come a moment too soon. "If we had this system 50 years ago, it would have shown quite clearly the ball was at least a foot over the line," he said. "Germany have been arguing the toss ever since but I will never tire of talking about it."

those bloody Germans, always going on about 1966

cannonball was over the maginot line in 1914 fritz don't hear you piping up about that wot wot

wrong war deems

he's basically been left with a choice there in a split second brian and he's gone early and he's been made look foolish

trying to parse that hurst quote, i think he us using 'at least a foot' in a comedically exagerrated bantuh sense rather than literally literally a foot

'he literally had time to throw his thinking cap on it trevor, he'll be finding that hard to watch on the telly tonight'

'Or even using bbciplayer at any time that suits him in his busy schedule eh mark'

'......'

'.........'

inspiration, weak laugh....

'oooooh you've done yer omework!' *jazzhands* wild applause and roses shower from adoring taxpayers

Cmere are any of these deals gonna happen

Suarez - no
Rooney - yes
Bale - next year for less money
Lescailles-Mendy - yes

all will be anti-climactic obviously

next year for 75m would be fine by me if he gives us another season like last

I don't think Rooney's happening. Certainly not at the prices Chelsea are currently offering. It just doesn't make sense for Utd on any level

theres a bit of a backlash in the madrid press/fan goldfish bowl about paying a world record fee for a player who will still be #2 to ronaldo

so theres a chance it doesnt happen but more because perez has covered his back with the 'a lot of money' comments and can at least show he tried to get him

if it doesnt happen then suarez becomes an option, tactically he could be very useful for ancelotti because he can play any of the forward positions

Atsu to spurs for 1m?

Atsu sounds likely. Halilovic might be on again.

Norwich and Sunderland are apparently fighting over Quagliarella.

Oh how the average have fallen

Surprised one of the mid-range PL teams haven't bid the £5m Celtic are being asked for Finnbogason.

it's like how 'natural goalscorers' in the afonso alves vein fail to transfer to higher leagues because their 'instinct' reflected the naivete of the opposition, whereas a player like thierry henry with an unremarkable scoring record can become great because his exceptional physical and technical skills were not contingent in the same way.
