We've been linked with Aaron Lennon. Don't really rate him but he has something our team desperately needs: pace. Alvarez is slow as sin, AJ not much faster... Buckley is fast but he's fucking shit to offset that. Wickham can move but he takes ages to get going and Giaccherini reminds me of Verne Troyer when he runs

We're being linked with a move for Sterling this winter window, 35m.

How nice it must be to have a job where you get payed just to pull nonsense out of your asshole.

 

[Mr Cola]

Yeah I agree, cant see any signings this window either, only rumour ive heard is about a Right back and maybe that will be expedited with Rafa getting another injury.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

So we are not getting Strootman?
Or Cuadrado?
Or Bale?
Vidal?

 

[Arnie]

Got a spare for tonight.

Yesssss.

Wimbledon v Liverpool on the terrace. £16 for an away ticket is great.

Battleship is fucking flying now.

That'll be ace. What's the allocation for Liverpool? Their ground only holds like 3k doesn't it?

I'm going to the United game this weekend. Sunday at 4pm. Can't they fucking move the ground to Watford or something.

Board member Toni Freixa has called a board meeting and plans to convince Bartomeu to call for elections at the end of the season.

Luis Enrique could be sacked, he depends on the results vs Atletico Madrid and the Spanish cup ties vs the winner between Atleti/RealMadrid.

Barcelona might not even risk the Champions League with Luis Enrique and choose a replacement depending on the situation.

With the bad results and tensions in the dressing room, Luis Enrique’s future at Barcelona is shrouded in doubt.

Messi didn’t fight with Luis Enrique or similar. He just didn’t turn up for training today, end of. Will probably say something later.

Absolute nonsense. People seem to forget Varane is barely 21 years old and has a contract until 2020. Varane knows where he is, don't think he's dumb enough to force a move.

He just said this in September:

Raphaël Varane expresó su satisfacción tras firmar la ampliación de su contrato con el Real Madrid: "Estoy muy contento de seguir aquí. Pensaba continuar en el club y con este contrato es lo que puedo conseguir. Me siento bien y la gente me trata muy bien, casi como a un canterano. Es un honor y creo que tengo mucha suerte de defender esta camiseta".

Su progresión es evidente: "Este contrato es la confianza que me da el club y quiero seguir creciendo. Ya he progresado mucho desde que llegué con 18 años pero quiero seguir haciéndolo en este gran club. Estoy más maduro y he aprendido mucho".

El francés, ambicioso: "Vamos a intentar ganar otra vez la Copa de Europa y también otros títulos. Tenemos una plantilla fantástica y creo que podemos lograrlos. He vivido muchos momentos buenos, también malos, y estoy orgulloso. Creo que habrá más momentos buenos en el futuro y que voy a estar feliz aquí".

I love how my die-hard Barcelona fan friend just texted me that he won't care about football anymore this season, and Barça is a case study on how to destroy a perfect sports organisation in 2 years.

Yet, in the beggining of the season he was all Crakitic this, Suarez was the best EPL player that.

[Steverulez]

If Varane was really available for £20m he would already be a Chelsea player. I doubt he's available

We need to be playing Happy anyway, he should get a start in our next game ahead of Cahill, Jose seemed to imply he had noticed Cahill played badly against Spurs (only a surprise that he came out with it, not that he noticed)

He probably won't though

Also on Suarez

I still hate him but he's a fantastic player that carried Liverpool last year. I think it's unfair to say that he bottles up against big teams, but I still believe that he gets notoriously nasty when he's under pressure (the diving, the ocassional gnawing).

Heard he's seeing a therapist now though. If he gets his temper in check he'll be worth the investment. Skillwise he's one of the best there is.
