Who might get relegated i add! Thats whats even more strange. I mean why on earth would you want to play for Fulham right now? They are in dreadful form and have no playstyle at all. They even have a few good players;
Berbatov
Stekelenburg
Darren Bent
Hangerland
Scott Parker
Rodallega
Taarabt
Dempsey

I mean those players be it not world beaters are still a mid table premiership side level no?

The signing of mitroglou to fulham for 15m euros is almost done, he will travel today or tomorrow to london for medical evaluation and to sign the papers.

Fuck me, I'm so mad with our management now, not only he was our best player for the man.u games, his price will keep raising after the world cup, I just can't understand why they sold him now.
Also Olympiakos has 0 financial problems so it's not like they were forced to part with him.

Really disappointing that Mitroglou ends up at a lower table Premier League club


Knowing him, he will spend there one and a half seasons before a big team approach him but that's another weird point in this transfer, if he had stayed to olympiakos until the world cup he could go to a big team in august.

Pandemona I agree that a DM should have been prioritized, we were linked with Fernando Reges recently who would be great, but my main concern is the RCB, Skertl is a damn liability and Toure is good cover, but shouldn't be starting imo. Papadopoulos would be the perfect long term partner to Sakho if he could stay injury free. Enrique will be a big boost when he's back and Flanagan is improving at a great rate.

Kono(..) would be great, Sterling at 19 shouldn't be starting every game imo, would be great for impact/cup games/cover for now.

edit:

I remember when they signed him i thought what the f....there are better keepers than him around? Also what is wrong with Reina. I mean Reina and Cech were by far the two best keepers in the premiership for about 5 seasons in a row. They would be going head to head for Clean Sheet awards every season. Then they just put him at the back and said no thanks we are going with Mignolet. Strange xD


Reina was in Rodgers ear all summer about desperately wanting to join Barca, then when did Barca didn't come in for him and he was told he wouldn't be first choice at Liverpool, he asked to go on loan, hoping Barca will come back for him next summer (they won't).

No! He has to play (Sterling) we need him to save our World Cup xD
Townsend injured and been playing poorly since the last qualifying game. Walcott injured, England have no one RW as i think (i hope) we play 4-3-3. Thus my front 3 would be;

Sturridge --- Rooney ---- Sterling

Something like that is what i would go with. Welbeck on the bench with Carroll when he starts banging them in for fun and we are set. Is a hard one with England all the time though but i think something like that is the way to go. Rooney playing like that means he can drop into midfield more and play in Sturridge from the left. With our good choices of LBs and having 3 CMs we should be fine in cover if Sturridge can't be assed to track back
Sterling however is more disciplined and will do that.

No idea where you guys read all those "possible punishments" to Barcelona lol.

No spanish newspaper has ever published anything even close afaik. And I'm talking about Marca and As, who literally make a living off throwing shit at Barça, Messi and anything related to them... all year long. It's one of the reasons the Ballon d'Or this year is considered such a joke by so many.

There are a bunch of them. Quite surprised Marca and AS haven't picked up on it, because it is just written in the UEFA Club Financial Control Body rule book you can download. Not providing accurate financial statements or not having these available is punishable by point reduction and being withheld from European Football. Glasgow rangers for example have been banned from European football for 3 years.

Of course first it needs to be proven Barcelona are actually guilty of anything, which I doubt they are

Cases demanded Rosell only btw, not Barcelona.

And it wasn't about stealing money for himself. Different ammounts of money involved in the transfer were considered as different matters so Barcelona would pay less taxes on the whole transfer. That is most likely true if you ask me.

No team has ever been forced to show all the ins and outs of a transfer business, at least not in Spain. It is assumed that this is done in every big transfer really.

I don't wanna defend Rosell btw, just stating what I think is the truth.

Fulham are such an underwhelming team this season, taking over from Norwich as the most pointless club in the PL atm. They just have no outstanding qualities at all, and like you said, no playstyle. Does anybody even notice Fulham except when their side has a match with them?

btw Cabaye to PSG is official. Speaking of pointless...

Hahaha, according to a Russian paper called Tribuna, Spurs are trying to sneak in for Konoplyanka now. They cite "sources close to the transaction" so it's hard to know how reliable the news is, but it's worth doing the deal just to see the reaction of Liverpool fans!

Ah I see, I thought Barcelona involvement as a club would have been investigated as well. I'm guessing because Rosell has resigned, he has taken personal responsibility for the actions undertaken.

As for showing the transfer business, I don't think that is forced anywhere. However in the Netherlands at least if an expenditure is taxed too low there will be questions asked, Feyenoord are in some minor troubles considering a transfer we made ourselves.

The Blatter incident. Reopening the voting season for a few more weeks after his hat trick. The huge marketing the spanish media made favoring him and against Messi and Barcelona, including accusations of him of using drugs and Messi's father having business with druglords. CR "literally carrying" his team... into not winning a single trophie, not even Pichichi for him.

If you don't think this was really shady you are too naive. The only reason this Ballon d'Or is not gonna be up there with Owen and Cannavaro for the most bullshit award, is that CR actually played good enough football to deserve it lol. Ribéry and Messi too, but whatever, most people here are ok with him winning. Specially because most of the player still refer to Messi as the best now and ever :D The rest was such a joke that the hype was nowhere to be found.

The vote was done by COACHES, PLAYERS and the MEDIA with the Media CLEARLY favouring Ribery over C.Ronaldo.
The votes are public, go and count them one by one. Oh wait, according to you every player and coach in the world READS and is INFLUENCED by Marca and As right?

Yeah right, are you paranoid or what?

Damn, Cabaye was easy, cheap points in FPL. Now who will rack up points and make me feel like a hipster?

And it looks like Flamini will be suspended for four games (three for straight red, one because he's already served a yellow card suspension this season). Plus Ramsey is out for another 4-6 weeks after reaggravating a calf injury T_T

On Draxler. He is really really tanlented. But he isnt contributing constantly yet. He also had some pressure issues when playing on the 10. 45m seems a lot for him and its not without risk.

which transfer Ysellian?


Immers transfer. Supposedly he wasn't bought but rather he is on loan with his wages being payed + more and a fee was agreed, but this fee is only to be paid at the end of his loan (which is this year I believe). Just a very weird way of signing a player for which Feyenoord didn't actually have the funds, KNVB called for a study to see how legal this was.

edit: Also no recalls are allowed and Feyenoord aren't allowed to back down on the loan. So it is a bit shady unfortunately.
