yep should been more too cant complain see you in the final on Saturday

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Exactly.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it's a legal requirement to have a release clause in a contract in Spain. When a club buys a player they don't intend selling them on again so just put a stupid number for the clause. It's only players that come through the youth systems that are likely to have reasonable release clauses. They don't ward off interest as we have seen, they are pointless and people read into them far too much.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

They don't ward off interest if the selling club accepts a cut fee or gets done for if the release clause is cheap, youth growth.. the latest example being Thiago to Bayern.

He's better off holding out at City to see how he gets on under Pellegrini. If things don't work out then theres always an opening at Dortmund next season when Lewandowski leaves on a free.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I wish they would. Sick of big clubs snapping up everything then benching them. Demba ba is no different. Chelsea saw 7m easy deal thus noone else could buy him and they wouldn't have to play against him. Dzeko should move though. Arsenal could have a pop should suarez stay put. Wenger was obviously looking for something when he signed Giroud and I tuink he'd find that and more in Dzeko. Liverpool could look too should they lose suarez.

Gomis skipped a meeting with the lyon boss probably a further attempt to force a move to tyneside. Newcastle haven't mentioned him for a week though and the cisse drama is over.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

So Bernard didn't have his medical today :fit: L'Equipe, the famous L'Equipe :no: I'm getting a horrible feeling Arsenal are using the Fabregas situation to not sign anyone. The Suarez deal looks complicated, thats understandable but I heard a source close to Arsenal say we haven't brought a DM because of Fabregas, hwo the hell does an AM have bearing on a DM. Nothing makes sense aprt from Ornstein saying Arsenal want a DM, AM and CF.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It seems Arsenal are repeating the same mistakes from last season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This Suarez deal seems like Liverpool are acting in the wrong. From what I understand, Suarez has in his contract a minimum release fee of 40 million, so Arsenal offer £40,000,001 to trigger it. Liverpool are saying they want 50 million for him, but surely if the contract has a minimum release fee in it, that should be enough to be accepted.

Apparently it could go to a tribunal, and I wouldn't mind betting if I have read it right Suarez will be an Arsenal player before the window shuts.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think this a problem with rumors. There is no point getting angry about transfers that don't happen when they're only rumored. I am concerned about the lack of activity as well but let's wait, see and hope.

Right my views on Suarez. I'm been listening and reading a bit because this is just pure drama I didnt really have an opinion, kind of lost with Higuain going elsewhere and all but here goes and I'm not being bias. Liverpool should have taken the 40m and run focusing on the clubs image but instead Suarez owes Liverpool apparently. They have lost the club bigger than player front. Earlier before Bayern v Dortmund ESPN had their pressbox thing which spoke of Suarez. They said a few years ago Liverpool would have got shot of Suarez without thinking twice but now they have declined they wont. My view of that is its dangerous. This will get nasty and Liverpools stance of the player owes the club is doing nothing good for their image. getting shot would have done much more good. Now though the ship is going to sink because Suarez will kick up a fuss.

On top of that Tottenham are moving in for Soldado. Liverpool will regret missing out on him. He's one of not soo many looking to break into the National team.

whats your view?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

na Adz. Perez has firmly said Ronaldo is staying at RM and has a release clause of 1billion if anyones interested.

Its being reported Tottenham have reached an agreement for Soldado. if thats true then I stand by what i said, Liverpool stance is going to sink the ship.

our officials are a total waste of time. the lot of them, total incompetence. always differing. waiting around for something to happen. i dont think they realise they have to make things happen. In hindsight Arsenal should have bitten Real Madrids hand off when they put a 25m tag on Higuain, i though it was a bargain considering the media were saying Higuain would cost 35m at the end of last season but they wait until the price is hiked. pee take. everyone is saying Arsenal are soo slow completing deals.

---------- Post added at 23:43 ---------- Previous post was at 23:41 ----------

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

ah ye we need the manager in place first which was good for RM, learnign from mistakes although we could have easily agreed in principle. the club just doesnt react fast enough. soo damn slow

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Real Madrid will never learn. Bale won't bring them the champions league. Real Madrid have 11 elite players from all over that simply can't play together. There's a reason Barcelona dominate, their players are mostly homegrown talent combined with proper training to a point where they can pretty much all read each others minds. Madrid however just expect their world all stars to win without using the mindset alone. All the players come from completely different styles of football. You have ozil doing one thing and Ronaldo doing something completely different. They can dominate poor Spanish opposition all they want but it means nothing when you finish second with no European trophy.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

two different styles of football. thats not to say your wrong, your right, both styles need communication, discipline and all but look at it this way too, Real Madrid compete with Barcelona on signings alone... 'whos got bigger balls' i was speaking to Spanish mates a few years ago talking me through the politics side which is just crazy, on a whole different level.

So the Football League starts next week, looking forward to it. Although is it me, or does the gap between end and start of seasons seem to be getting smaller every season?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Spurs could end up next year with no Champions League football and a Gareth Bale worth less than £20 million. There's absolutely no guarantee Bale will have another season like last. Ronaldo had 3 incredible seasons at United scoring an unbelievable amount of goals (more than Bale by far) before signing for Madrid for a record £80 million.

£86 million for Bale right now? Daniel Levy has lost it. It's a gamble to keep him and assume you'll end up in the Champions League and still be able to flog him for £80 million, it's less of a gamble to do off with him now and invest in an incredible amount of money.

The Real risky side is him not performing at Madrid...

I don't get it with Bale, he's certainly not worth that price but he's not as such overrated. I think he's drawn attention by being the one man show at Spurs. Robin Van Persie scored more and had more assists than Bale last season and for me it's about the total.

Juan Mata, Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla all had great seasons but have received next to no recognition. If anything they're all just as good as Bale. Eden Hazard had a decent opening year and will only get better, he's not far behind Bale and if anything in a few years will be better than Bale.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

absolutely Ronaldo done alot more to justify his tag but since Ronaldos transfer the game has seen inflation rise. Real President Perez loves breaking records it seems, SSN had graphics up earlier on all his record signings which he, Perez single handedly continues to break. its all politics over there, bigger balls and all.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Aye its all a bit crazy. Luckily if they splash the cash for Bale they won't be chasing Suarez and that allows Arsenal to remain favourites. Even if Arsenal could keep up with RMs ludicrous bids would you actually want to pay 50 million upwards for him?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Are you seriously comparing Bale and Walcott? They are miles apart in terms of ability and performance last season. Bale was the best player in the league by some distance last season in my opinion, put him in a better team than spurs and he will get even better.

Don't seem that far apart to me. I didn't just say Walcott either, I rate Mata higher than Bale too, he's a better passer, sets up more goals and is just as good a finisher. In a few seasons Hazard will be better than everyone listed here. Bale had a decent game against us and scored too, Walcott however absolutely destroyed us.
