right, he prob asked for two years instead of one or something.

but his obscene salary had to be a factor too!

Yeah no doubt - nobody wants to commit that sort of money to somebody who's no longer worth it.

I really doubt Gerrard was expecting the same salary or a payrise though.
 
FFP (they're in the red IIRC)

7+ million for a 35 y/o is way too much.

FFP doesn't matter if we don't qualify for Europe.

I don't think Gerrard would care about salary. He knows that the only level where he can start every game now is MLS so a move there makes sense for him if he wants to play in every game and still be the star.
 

:(

Ugh Gerrard said he wishes he met Brendan at the age of 24

:|

He's tasted the Battleship.

:(

Trying not to think about him leaving until we get closer to it happening. Palace match is gonna destroy me.


Does anyone want to learn Dota 2 with me and Hitch? Playing with randoms is slowly sapping away my sanity.

Mastadon pls. This is like one of The Proclaimers inviting someone else into the band without consulting the other. Or Milli Vanilli.

Of course that is a well know know thing thing in premier league history. Get real Viva, only reason why you know know that is because Wilbur said it

So how did I know about it :lol

Look. Whoever was in charge of Leeds, I wanna say Wilkinson, rang Frog and asked for Irwin. Frog said no. He then asked if he could get Cantona, half-joking, and was surprised to hear Leeds say yes because they wanted him off the books.

That is not comparable to Bayern using their financial muscle to activate Gotze's release clause, and is certainly not comparable to the tactics Rummenigge has used in regards to Reus this season.

Nor is Shearer's move, especially considering a club who weren't top of the table offered just as much and came away with the player.

The only one that might have any weight is the Vieira one, and it was rebuffed. No biggie.

We didn't go out and buy Chelsea's best players, or City's, or Liverpool's, because fortunately that isn't how the Premier League works.

It's okay, when you buy Sissoko I'll moan at you for buying rival clubs' players.
 

Yurt

il capo silenzioso
Ye I can see where your coming from. He just doesn't strike me as that sort of person. If he wanted to be on more money he could of went to Chelsea/Madrid/Bayern all those years ago.

nah it wasn't about getting more, but more about not accepting a significant cut to stay.


Del Piero did, a couple of times, to stay with us.

Buffon did last season as well ;_; I dunno why they're helping us save money, FUCK us.

Aguero also did it to stay at City.

I like how we're completely ignoring Giovinco and his agent :lol :lol

August 2013 "he has many offers"

October 2013 "he'd like to play more"

November "he proved his quality coming off the bench"

December "January transfer? We'll see. But I repeat, he's happy here"

January "he's admired by many clubs. Why he isn't playing? Good question"

I don't believe for a second that he'll accept a move to Bologna, lol. Fiorentina, that I can see.
 
Ahah. Nani just got a second yellow for taking too long to take a corner.
Sneaky bastard was going to miss the league with Braga because he reached 5 yellows in the league but by getting a red card, his suspension comes into play on the midweek cup game and he will be free to play against Braga on the weekend.

LOL Newcastle. Act like assholes to Pardew and now he's gone. Draw to Burnley and out of the FA cup first match since his departure.

Good luck. Hahahahahaha

m8 I went 20-9-12 on Necro today and lost the match because the Nature's Prophet on my team spent the entire game trying to solo Rosh with his tree illusions.

I remember the times that there were more darts enthusiasts in this thread. Where y'all at? This game is incredible.

I used to love it but it went to TV here. Or the players moved code or something. Basically it's not on TV and I can't be bothered to stream fucking darts.

I honestly think you're going down this season no matter what or who you sign in the upcoming months. It's fucking sad to see one of the original Seven Sisters dying like this
With the right signings I believe we may have a chance, only because of how shit the teams above us are.

So long, Suen, and thanks for Thuram and Buffon.

It's covered by Sky. BBC still do the peasant championship I think, also known as the BDO.

Over here it's on a public channel, so everyone can watch on the telly.

When is he back?

Are City really going after Bony? Seems odd.

Pellegrini said he hoped Dzeko would be back next week, Aguero the week after. I think Bony is a real possibility -- direct replacement for Negredo basically at the same price we're getting for him. Curious if we could structure it so that it was a loan until the end of the season and pay then to coincide with the Negredo payment.

We were never in on aguero. you blokes should stop reading british rags.

This is not true. Madrid have been desperate for Aguero and Silva for years now. And why wouldn't they be? Every club would be better with them.

Cornballer posted in the MLS thread -- apparently Gerrard to the LA Galaxy for $6m a year, 18 month initial contract is a done deal.

Have to say by the way that it's massively underestimated how much work you have to put in to play on their level though. Given you have the talent in the first place of course. Darts got much more professional with the years. It's nothing like let's say 15/20 years ago.

...Because we have better players? both aguero and silva would be on the bench if they were at real madrid. talent means fuck all if you dont bring hustle and results.

You refuse to buy PES2015, Sneijder signs for Juve. Coincidence? I'm gonna go with no.

It's all your fault, Ricky. ALL YOUR FAULT.

Peggle 2 sucks.

SUCKS.


Geometry Wars 3 kinda sucks.
And I have no friends in leaderboards.


At least Wolf TNO is legit.

aguero also doesnt love the asda in manchester

you, bloke, should learn to read
I always get annoyed at any mention of aguero and madrid in same paragraph. all because of fucking maradona and everyone thinks we're interested. we are not interested.

Besides, We got the Benz who is better than aguero (and injury free) and Jese who's potential is elite. we really dont need anyone upfront.

for once in many years, madrid is finally stacked in all areas. maybe we need a backup midfielder for cover but thats it.
