    AS are a Barca based paper arent they?

    They usually spread sh*te about Real, as much as Marca spread about Barca.

    I wouldnt believe anything coming from either side unless I seen the player holding up a jersey, theres no way we'll be in for Ronaldo and theres no way he'll come back to England and play for anyone other than Utd.

    It would also mean losing Hazard if it was in the realms of possibility, I'd take Bale before Ronaldo but only because we would get more years of service from Bale whos about 5 years younger than Ronnie.

    AS is a madrid paper i think

    Sell Ramires, give Ronaldo number 7
    Sell Hazard, give Messi number 10
    Win the league

    No As is From Madrid too. El Mundo Deportivo is the rag produced in and supporting Barcelona.

    The rags have picked up the Ronaldo story now, I'm not sure where they get their pie in the sky figures its mental.

    Sign Ronaldo for 70m

    Sell Hazard for 80m, and 60m for Matic and Oscar.

    Leaving 70m in the kitty I assume for Pogba/Varane/Stones.

    Perfect. :rolleyes:

    Can't we just spend a few hundred million, thought FFP was dead?

    Its been said it is but its still in place AFAIK.

    Nobody has come out to say f**k it, it was a giant waste of time that only kept the rich very rich.

    Its still something clubs are "adhering" too some better than others and some clearer and cleaner than others and not cloaking finances with dodgy owner operated sponsorship deals like PSG and City.

    Something Roman should look at doing.

    I also dont thin we'll spend as we want with the new stadium around the corner, Roman wont want to be spending a few hundred million before spending another few hundred million on the stadium, basically over the next 5-7 years the he'll probably end up pumping in about 1billion pound and that is the stadium does cost 500m and doesnt cost more.

    I must admit I don't read it regularly. I haven't seen it in the newstands since I lived in Barcelona in the early 90s. It is certainly a Catalan based periodical though!

    I was under the impression that Brana was unique in that he doesn't have an agent and he negotiated his one year contract last year on his own


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    The guardian mentioned it too.

    I'd sell him in January but I dont know why someone mentioned Inter Milan, hes allowed to negoiate with any foreign side from January and can see out his current deal until the end of the year with a pre contract agreement with a new side.

    Spain are better drilled at the moment. England aren't all that great. It was a friendly. Teams that face him in the EPL all have a plan to nullify his influence. Against Spain it's harder because the opposing team knows he's not the only the pivot.

    Well only a few more days and we're back in action, hosting Norwich, surely we'll win this game. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,431 ✭✭✭rottie 11


    Well we were very unlucky against stoke tbf the team played very well. So it seems like we are improving anyway

    Ya, it was one of the better games so far this season in terms of performance.

    Hopefully we get the 3 points at the weekend anyway and start moving in the right direction.

    Ya 3 points is really badly needed. Top 4 is still doable if we can start putting wins together


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    not to worry fellas the paper have us signing messi and ronaldo next summer :)

    I've said it for weeks that I dont think we will get top 4 but it would be a good surprise if we did.

    No I'm not saying we should sign him or anything. Just that I don't think Ronaldo would be the best signing. Would love Messi tho

    Would love Ronaldo, just to piss off the ManU few who think they've a first refusal on him if he were to return to the EPL


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭grumpymunster


    I would love a few defenders , and maybe a striker, and a Pogba perhaps....

    It would be some craic to finish above man u and the pool after the start we had.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭grumpymunster


    I wonder will the young lad keep the shirt or flog it? Nice gesture by the club though,

    One of the most crazy posts I read in a long time.How exactly is he past it,he is the current holder for the Ballon D'or for gods sake the only computation to Messi for the up coming Ballon D'or .A player with his mentality and drive will be around for along time yet barring injury (which he seems cant he get injured).
    He has shown no signs of slowing down and I would gladly take him at City.

    Would ye sell Costa in Jan if his sh*tty form continued and we could sign a suitable replacement?

    Getting linked a good bit with Lacazzette, Griezemann and Texeira. Think we'll definitely sign a CB too, possibly a CM.

    Rumours of Papy to Besikitas.

    Who'd buy him ?

    I'd only be in favour of big January signings if they weren't the ones expected to save our season. Can't have another Torres on our hands, or even Cuadrado

    I wouldn't be too bothered if he was sold tbh he's in **** form and his behaviour on the pitch is unacceptable at times.

    I wonder tho if we got really good competition for him would he benifit from it
