Marseille retired his jersey after he left and now that he is going to Lyon they are letting somebody wear it again if they want to. They're not to happy right now.
Shaqiri, Affelay, Bojan... The joke has already been made, but we are the best team if you are using FM11 or 12
Yeah I was surprised when I heard about it and then since it's been a while I thought it was off until I saw him at the match this weekend
...and just like that it's not a done deal. "West Ham have pulled out of signing Joey Barton after the storm of protest from the club’s fans according to The Mirror."
Would be awesome terms if true HSV are willing to pay €800k in order to take Halilovic on loan for the season, while they have not requested a clause to retain the option to buy the player Barca and Hamburg must now finalise the details of the deal, with the Liga champions keen to ensure that Halilovic plays at least 60 per cent of all HSV games for which he is available during the coming campaign. The German club would be forced to pay a €2.4 million fee should such an agreement be broken.
@City_Watch: Roma confirm: Dzeko joins on a 1-year loan for €4m (£2.9m) with a conditional purchase clause set at €11m (£7.9m). http://t.co/bi7eqlM1Fq
Yep. Certainly would prefer to have gotten more if we were losing him. I think he will do great there. Not concerned about the production though, I think Bony will be fine with Sterling and Iheanacho as the other guys there
Helps when the player only will accept a move to one team. Also means Pjanic has no intentions of leaving anytime soon.
Julian Green really did a number on them. I bet they didn't appreciate random American's wondering why he wasn't getting to play for a team that was terrible and close to being relegated and don't want a repeat from Barca fans.
Barcelona is requiring that whoever takes him on loan play him a certain amount of minutes. Hamburg couldn't commit to the requirement
Read in Marca that they are currently working on translating Stoke Vistor guides into his native tongue.
Nor should they have. You never really know what you're getting when you bring in a kid that young. They're probably going to be flirting with relegation again and the possibility of having to play a teenager that is nowhere near ready could be a pretty toxic situation. Hell, if Everton were required to give Christian Atsu a minimum amount of minutes last season we might have gone down.
Yanga-Mbiwa close to moving to Lyon. Lyon getting older for champions league it seems with Yanga-Mbiwa and Valbuena and getting rid of Njie and probably Benzia.
Winningest Crystal Palace manager in the Premier League era Alan Pardew is. The Three Lions will be calling after a group stage exit in the Euros in the summer.
He actually does hold that honor. And if they decide to go all xenophobic again with their next coach, he'd be a candidate just by default. It's weird how England produces so few quality managers.
Turkish press reporting that West Ham are going to sign Burak Yilmaz from Galatasaray. Not sure how much stock to put in foreign media reports, but there appears to be discussion of contract details. He's a good player. Rich Homie Tron Smittys https://readwestham.com/2015/08/14/...ter-agreeing-e9m-fee-and-three-year-contract/
Burnley sign 27 year old striker Rouwen Hennings from Bundesliga 2 club Karlsruhe for 3 million pounds Dyche throwing fat stacks around (at least fat stacks, for Burnley). I like it.
Yeah, I saw he's a fairly decent player who we've been chasing off and on for the last couple of years. Despite a pretty solid scoring record, still a little concerned with the fact he has only played in Turkey and is 30.
Have said it in the City thread but think he will do really well and just never got the love he deserved from City fans. Didn't appreciate what he did and accept him for what he was, they wanted him to be Aguero
