Transfers

[sunnis]

I opened new thread, to discuss about transfers in this summer period.

already many changes happened, and surely more to happen.

Alves Sevilla -> Barcelona
Deco Barcelona -> Chelsea
Bosingwa Porto -> Chelsea
Pique Manchester United -> Barcelona
Cacares Villareal -> Barcelona

thats the biggest I remember in past week

[fatman69]

there is a full list of signed ins and outs and rumours of those on eurosports.com, but i'm too lazy to look it up.

so far, no big transfers, except ofc another summer spending spree by Mr. Roman himself. i've read somewhere that he has spent 750 million euros on Chelsea so far in the last 5 years he owns it.what a waste of money...

[Nery]

Kewell Liverpool -> Galatasaray
:rolleyes:

[TeamGeist]

What about C. Ronaldo in Primera?

[fatman69]

last i've heard he's staying in Manchester, now he's even injured. anyway if this **** continues i think he'll end up like Van Nistelrooy and Beckham, Ferguson is not a man to mess with, he doesn't take too much crap from his players. i've heard that he even through a running shoe at Nistelrooy just before he moved to Real, but not bcuz of the transfer but some argument of theirs. transfer followed shortly after :). so Ronaldo should make up his mind soon and stick with the decision. even if he leaves, there are other good players in Manchester to replace him.

he remain a topic of the biggest gossip like Arshavin who is one second in Barca, next sec in Chelsea and will probably stay in Zenit.

[sunnis]

Roman gave 330M euros to spend this summer, main objective is Brazilian Kaka, but I am not sure about it.

Real is eager to spend 80 millions on *** Ronaldo.

Arshavin rumored in many great clubs, but hey he can earn a LOT money in any Russian club, their league is growing much powerful with those mass investments, and soon it will become top 5 in the world.

[KeweLi]

2 of my favourite players leave Liverpool. :(:(:(

[fatman69]

oh yea the *** couple from the pic you posted to show "team spirit" or what not...

i think it's for the best, Kewell didn't play practically anything, and Crouchie myb doesn't fit into Rafa's vision of Liverpool...

[sunnis]

2 of my favourite players leave Liverpool. :(:(:(

how can that tall idiot be your fav player?

[KeweLi]

Crouchie hasn't left yet...it's just Kewell and Riise but I am still very sad and I will jump off my apartment building if Crouch leaves too.

[sunnis]

Crouchie hasn't left yet...it's just Kewell and Riise but I am still very sad and I will jump off my apartment building if Crouch leaves too.

Please do so, I might open "Keweli memoriam" thread.

on topic: Lampard in Inter?

[Bonzy]

I've heard it's for like less than 10 mil , i was like O.o then

[Xfire]

omg I miss those threads like "Croatia vs Turkey" etc..

Imba times :(

[TeamGeist]

omg I miss those threads like "Croatia vs Turkey" etc..

Imba times :(

:laugh:

[fatman69]

Please do so, I might open "Keweli memoriam" thread.

on topic: Lampard in Inter?

i think not, last i've heard Chelsea didn't allow Inter to negotiate with him and Scolari also persuaded Franky to stay. at least how i heard.


as far as L'pool goes, i think even Crouchie's leaving, his space in the team is getting smaller and plus he has started negotioations with Portsmouth.

@Keweli

ya really bloody shame that they will lose Riise, they will have to find some1 else to score own goals in CL semi's...

[sunnis]

omg I miss those threads like "Croatia vs Turkey" etc..

Imba times :(

you closed one, remember?

ontopic. I think Frank won't leave Chelsea, he is like a legend to the club, but still Inter wants him, and with Deco coming...

I would like him to stay

[Bonzy]

I would like to see how would Lampard fit in Inter. But Stankovic is there , and they play pretty much the same part in team...

[KeweLi]

http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~1340480,00.html

I never watch the Serie A so I hope he stays...

[sunnis]

I just heard that Sulejmani joined Ajax for 16.25 M euros.

it is a ****ing money wash, he isn't worth 2M, not to mention its the price above Deco's.

[KeweLi]

Well the age does make all the difference when it comes to price. :P

[sunnis]

Well the age does make all the difference when it comes to price. :P

yes but sulejmani can't approach Deco in any segment, and the fact is that with age comes experience.

[Tito]

Nasri completed the transfer in Arsenal, it prolly was something like 12 milion e. Die potatoes ^^

[NightCaller3]

Ronaldinho finally came to Milan today for 25M E. They will pay 21M now and 4M later. Here is the article:

I've found transfers for Primera and Eredivisie, but it seems that something is wrong with forum. It won't show the whole messages.

Since I can't put it normally, here is small text doc with transfers from Primera and Eredivisie.

[KeweLi]

Makelelee went to Paris, he is too old to compete with Lampard, Ballack, Deco, Essien and them haha.

[KoBaS]

What u think about Berbatov and transfer in Man Utd?
I think he will be in Man..

[Becko0]

Can't wait to see Bulgarian in one of the best clubs in the world.
However Barca wants him too, and Tottenham don't wanna give him
away so easy ..

[KoBaS]

Nah Barca is sux they dont have chance....

[phaNtom.]

Nah Barca is sux they dont have chance....

Agree:D

[KoBaS]

Best team ofc Manchester United ffs..:)

[KeweLi]

Manchester is just like Chelsea, always signing high priced players.

[KoBaS]

lol give me 1 transfer higher then 20milions..

[phaNtom.]

Manchester rulz ;/

[KoBaS]

Agree :D

[fatman69]

Can't wait to see Bulgarian in one of the best clubs in the world.
However Barca wants him too, and Tottenham don't wanna give him
away so easy ..

ye i think manchester needs a player like Berbatov in their ranks. and he also deserves to play in such a great club.

@keweli i don't see Manchester bidding over any stars lately. the way i see it, they buy young talented players and shape them into stars over which rich clubs fight later. see Beckham's example, or Rooney, or C.Ronaldo...they becamo globally interesting after joining Manchester.

[phaNtom.]

So the deal is, join Manchester > be famous :D

[KeweLi]

Last season they signed Nani, Tevez, Anderson, and Hargreaves. All for a pretty high price.

The only real star Liverpool signed is Torres, and now we have Robbie Keane!

[fatman69]

they didn't sign Tevez, he was borrowed. and only Hargreaves had a reputation of those 3. others were slightly unknown, i mean c'mon they are like 20 yrs old each. they need some time to grow.

yea too bad Robbie joined Liverpool, dude could have accomplished something, now his chances are decreasing dramatically...

and Liverpool keeps investing funds very poorly, they rather get 1 star player and spend half their budget on him instead of buying several young talents..jeez

[KoBaS]

Man Utd>Liverpool :D
btw Tevez is now buyed by Man for 66 mil. euros ^^

[fatman69]

yy but he was referring to last season.

[KeweLi]

Man Utd>Liverpool :D
btw Tevez is now buyed by Man for 66 mil. euros ^^

Wow and you are so proud of that :ohmy:

You guys are just spending big sums on young players and the only good one you guys have left who was trained is Ronaldo.

Nani, Tevez, Rooney, and Anderson were all purchased for high prices when they were in fact known. Anderson was big in Porto, Nani was big in Sporting, and I already heard so much about Tevez 2 years ago.

We buy players like Voronin on a free transfer, and the biggest signings we ever made were Ciise, Torres, and Keane these past 3 years.

[fatman69]

well if you do good you deserve to spend big money, if you win CL and PL in one season you deserve to spend any sum you want on transfers. if you don't win any trophy and end up in 5th place you deserve to buy only a Irish striker in mature yrs (in other words, old in 3 years)... in 2-3 years Liverpool will have to do a serious re-build of squad since most of their star players are already 27-30 years old...

[ProtosS]

Listen this Juventus > Arsenal > Manchester United > Barcelone > Real Madrid > Red Star Belgrade > Napredak Aleksinac > Rest of Europe > :D

[KoBaS]

Anyway i dont remember when is liverpool last time win in PL..:noob:

[fatman69]

anyway Van Der Vaart signed for Real, seems C.Ronaldo might stay in Premiership. but i think this drama is far from over, there will be a lot of new gossip coming soon,i presume

[sunnis]

the story who signs player with higher price is stupid, and telling that manchester or liverpool doesn't sign star players is bull****.

even if they don't sign them, it is because they lack money for it, don't you think they would like Kaka in their squad, or Drogba? But Chelsea has the money, and signing Kaka soon will mean world dominance for 5 years at least.

Ronaldo is one big **** comparing to Kaka.

[fatman69]

ye i guess you could say kaka is better. only thing is that he played in that ****ty Milan, and the player of such talent and such great team play doesn't reach his full potential there. but nevertheless, Chelsea spends probably the most money on players and coaches but it still can't have the thing that both Manchester United and Liverpool have and that's spirit and tradition.

[[DjoxY]]

but it still can't have the thing that both Manchester United and Liverpool have and that's spirit and tradition.

Yes,but that's only thing that Liverpool had last 18 years...

[Tito]

Ronaldo stays in Manchester and that's it. Too bad they're gonna finish third into the premiership this year and Ronaldo will be the biggest failure. They might win some FA cup or stuff, who knows.

[Nery]

Ronaldo stays in Manchester and that's it. Too bad they're gonna finish third into the premiership this year and Ronaldo will be the biggest failure. They might win some FA cup or stuff, who knows.
I believe you said the same last year..:tiphat:

[Ogi.]

And who do you consider 1st and 2nd when u say man utd goes third?
And try not to tell me about tottenham thingy ;D
Cause Chelsea might finish better than manutd but pls don`t say liverpool and arsenal are better then utd ;]

[fatman69]

they might not be better but they could end up better, it's just how it goes, man utd will have a rough start of season due to massive injuries so others can take the lead in first few games.

btw i think tottenham might be good this year,not only bcuz they signed modric :), they are making a nice squad, too bad they sold keane to that middle-of-nowhere club

[Kominterna]

Can someone tell me who arrived and who left Arsenal ?

I'm not in this for some time :)

[KeweLi]

IN: Aaron Ramsey (Cardiff City, £5million), Samir Nasri (Marseille, undisclosed), Amaury Bischoff (Werder Bremen, undisclosed)

OUT: Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan, free transfer), Jens Lehmann (VfB Stuttgart, free transfer), Alexander Hleb (Barcelona, £11.8million), Gilberto (Panathinaikos, undisclosed)

[Kominterna]

thx :)

[[DjoxY]]

@fatman i must agree with this,Tottenham has scored a goal with selling Robbie Keane,They brought Modric,Bentley,and some more players,and Arshavin might come too,cuz he doesn't wanna play for Zenit anymore...I expect a lot from them this season...

[fatman69]

y but Arshavin might come, and time is running out, so the possible solutions are not to be taken for granted. you forgot to mention Giovani Dos Santos (or h/e is that spelled), but the question is how to replace such a striker like R.Keane, and if they sell Berbatov to Manchester, they might be in a nasty situation. although i do agree they look promising now, but i'd rather wait till transfer period is over to decide who has what chances and what kind of team.

[Tito]

Even if totenham sell berbatov, they will gather money to buy Arshavin, Bent is not bad CF, they still got extra attacking midfield players in Lenon, Bentley, Giovani, if Arshavin join too, Ramos will have a big chose.

[fatman69]

they got Bent and Bentley, Giovani is good in MF, but he's too weak phisically to replace Berbatov, Lenon as well, and Arshavin ain't comin' so it seems. a perfect CF has to be either a ZOMG LUCKER like Pipo Inzaghi who can get a ball at any moment and score just like that ( although i hate him) or smth like Berbatov, big guys, phisically strong with a nice shot and technique. any other compromise can be ok, but a good CF is really a necesity when playing vs teams with good defence.

no wonder Manchester and Barca are bidding over Berbatov..

[KeweLi]

a perfect CF has to be either a ZOMG LUCKER like Pipo Inzaghi who can get a ball at any moment and score just like that ( although i hate him) or smth like Berbatov, big guys, phisically strong with a nice shot and technique.

or you simply need need Torres or Crouch.
btw I have a new avatar for you. :D

[fatman69]

:thumbUP:haha nice1:thumbUP:

well Torres is a really great CF, his only problem is that he has a face of a 40 year old woman, so no1 is afraid of him, while that Crouching monster is a bit slow for my taste, but his tentacles seem to grab any ball aimed at him

[KoBaS]

I just w8ing to Berbatov come in Man Utd.(so they should be complete team or mby they need right back)

[KeweLi]

Haha Silvestre to Arsenal and Djibril Ciise to Sunderland on loan.

[KoBaS]

Just watch :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh62zrpInJ8&feature=related

[fatman69]

"**** you scousers cuz manchester rules..."

ye it would be nice if they didn't show only C.Ronaldo, wtf, where are Giggs,Rooney, Scholes, you know, the REAL Manchester players...

[KoBaS]

Dont ask me :P

[Branir]

Galatasaray brought Baros to Istanbul.

[fatman69]

yea that's pretty much appropriate, ****ty old "used to be good" attacker for a ****ty "used to be good club"...

still no words from Berbatov or Arshavin, seems Spurs will have to settle for current newbies they got :)

[KoBaS]

Zabaleta to Man City.

Riera to Liverpool oh that Benitez.

[KeweLi]

Riera to Liverpool oh that Benitez.

Failed :( atleast for now. Oh if only Kewell was still here.

[Tito]

Quaresma at Inter, Corluka at Tothenham :)

[fatman69]

Failed :( atleast for now. Oh if only Kewell was still here.

yea he would be so imba at warming that bench, he's too old to even move from it.

gj for Corluka goin to Tottenham, but i feel he'll have to struggle to get the position in first squad while he was a crucial defender in City...

[Tito]

Yeah, Tot got 3 right backs, he might play cf, since that king gets injured every second game ;P

Btw, keweli, Riera joined Lpool, go celebrate tonight ; )

[KeweLi]

Bah Finnan is gone but yea Riera now for the left side.

Btw now ManCity have S.W Phillips on the right and Robinho on the left >.<

[Tito]

Berbatov finally in Manchester : )

[sunnis]

Galatasaray brought Baros to Istanbul.

this has nothing to do with the quote, I just want to say that u have BEST signature in the entire forum, don't ever change it!

[fatman69]

Berbatov finally in Manchester : )

ye and Robinh in Man City, who'd say...i guess this battle for places 4-8 will be very rough...

[sunnis]

ye and Robinh in Man City, who'd say...i guess this battle for places 4-8 will be very rough...

actually it can easily turn into battle 2-8 MU, Arsenal sucked so far, and Liverpool Suck since 1992, and when you add Man. City, which can become Chelsea#2 very soon and always unpredictable Tottenham and Everton.

Chelsea showed best in first 3 games they deserved 9 points but fortune favored tottenham in last game, but surely after Deco's arrival Chelsea play the most beautiful football on the island.

yea...dream on...

Manchester drew the first game only cuz Newcastle was uber-lucky, but nvm, they're just warming up. keep in mind they haven't played a game vs Fulham this round. your precious Chelsea couldn't be saved by a thousand more Abramovices that spend more money on a football club than their entire country spends on health care...

[Nery]

Quaresma is finally @ Inter...

[fatman69]

yay, Nery's back...good to see you m8, you missed a lot of pissing and spitting over Manchester (scouse and chelsea cunts mostly :) )...

Manchester City plan £135m bid for Cristiano Ronaldo


Manchester City's new billionaire owners are planning a world-record £135m bid for Cristiano Ronaldo in the January transfer window before turning their sights to, among others, Fernando Torres of Liverpool and Cesc Fábregas of Arsenal. "Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious," said Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, of the Abu Dhabi United Group.

Al-Fahim also re-iterated that he would investigate the potential availability of the former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, Valencia's David Villa and the former Brazil international Ronaldo to join Robinho in a "dream team" that would be able to challenge for the Champions League within two or three years.

However, he identified United's Ronaldo as the biggest challenge for the billionaire tycoons, backed by members of the United Arab Emirates royal family, who have taken control of the club from Thaksin Shinawatra. "Real Madrid were estimating his value at $160m (£90m) but for a player like that, to actually get him, will cost a lot more; I would think $240m (£135m). But why not? We are going to be the biggest club in the world, bigger than both Real Madrid and Manchester United."

In all probability, City's chances of persuading Ronaldo to forget about moving to Real Madrid and decide instead to swap Old Trafford for Eastlands - or 'Middle Eastlands', as some City fans have started referring to it - are, at best, miniscule. Yet City's remarkable signing of Robinho from Real Madrid, for a British record £32.5m, just before Sunday's transfer deadline has already sent shockwaves through the sport, and Al-Fahim insisted the club would be willing to pay United three times the world transfer record, set in 2001 when Zinedine Zidane moved from Juventus to Real Madrid. "We want a team who can win the Champions League," he added.

Al-Fahim also confirmed that Torres and Fábregas were among his targets as City look to bring in a "minimum 18" players. "We're not just going to spend money on anyone, but if we can get the biggest players in the world, and of course if the manager wants them, then we will get them," he said.

Robinho arrived in London on Tuesday for a brief meeting with Mark Hughes to conclude the transfer - even though he has yet to take the usually routine medical examination - before flying out to join up with the Brazil national squad for Monday's World Cup qualifier against Chile. The 24-year-old has agreed a four-year contract that makes him the highest-paid footballer in the history of the game, with a weekly salary of £160,000.

Ronaldo could conceivably be offered twice that amount but it could also be argued that City's pursuit of the twice footballer-of-the-year also demonstrates a degree of naivety on the part of the new owners. United's reaction was one of bemusement, a spokesman saying "we have made it clear all summer that Cristiano is not for sale".
lol?

Rofl, as I always say, English football is the best and most interesting league in the world.

but surely after Deco's arrival Chelsea play the most beautiful football on the island.
Sounds like you just read some internet article and didn't even watch the matches :clap:

[Tito]

You know when Berbatov was 17, he was about to sign with a macedonian club- Vardar, but they didn't make the contract because Vardar consider Berbatov is not talented enough to be a football player =))

bah same old story man, same old story...

some of my friends played with Luka Modric(while he was a kid ofc, some 13-14 years), they practiced in the same club, and as they remember he was one of the average players at that time. it was years later that he grew into "something useful" :)

same can be said about some other new Croatian star players(no point in bothering you with their names), so i guess it's not strange that Berbatov was also considered as a failure, ppl make mistakes in judging some1's talent...

@Nery, Man. City owners probably smoked too much hashish from middle east, they can't be ****in serious... i mean look at Chelsea, money can create a good club, but never a great club, money can buy players but not the fans and the tradition a club like Man Utd has...

Actually I watched all 3 Chelsea played.
also seen Arsenal lose (and I had a bet on those idiots), Man U draw to Newcastle, no it was no luck.

didn't watch liverpool though but they sux anyway.

as I said Man City become Chelsea#2 which means they will ruin top4 teams which were for years.

Chelsea is actually no.1 in the world now and it will be noticed.

pfff....:noob::noob:

as i said, dream on, pendejo...

your precious Abramovic hasn't brought u a single UEFA/CL cup so far, not even with the most expesnive staff and players in the world, why do you think it will suddenly change??

[[DjoxY]]

I am not sure about CL but Chelsea wins Premier League this year...Manchester sux w/o Ronaldo,and they will lose more points in coming weeks,and when he returns,he will play like ****,so Manchester wont do anything this season...

[Bonzy]

The league system is fitting chelsea as they can rotate 20 players , they suck at playing big duels in 2 matches , they will not win CL for sure , but Premiership probably... for me , they are the biggest shame of football as sport , when i see them on the field it's like i see them only playing with money on their mind...football is a job , but it's sport above everything else , you can't just make a team by buying players , but having your players that are in club with heart and soul. no offense to chelsea fans...

I can tell that C.Ronaldo is in Manchester with heart and soul.

[fatman69]

yea and that's one Manchester player against the whole squad of Chelsea's payed mercenaries...

thumbs up to Terry and the Cole's (Ashley and Joe), but 90% of Chelsea are just there for the money, not loyalty no nothing, while you could definetly find way more loyal players in Man Utd...

[Tito]

haha, you saw the new wishes of manchester city? Torres, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Buffon, bla,bla,bla : )

Anyway, the new owned got 600 bilion euroes on his bank account, if he want, he can take any player interested for money into his club. ( Fabregas already said won't go there in near future, mby at 35 ;P and juve's coach said buffon's price can't be paid, but dunno if juve will resist of some price like 100m e ;P)

[sunnis]

how about Frank Lampard who didn't want to leave or Carvalho or Essien.

in every big club there are mercenaries, Chelsea has biggest squad on world, so its possible they have most those players, but they have loyal ones as well.

The only problem is that Chelsea relays on its loyal guys (Terry, Lampard, etc) while the main power of other teams in FA are mercenaries (C.Ronaldo, Torres, or Francesc Fabregas)

so pls think twice when talking about heart again.

[Bonzy]

torres is doing nothing comparing to gerrard , fabregas is kinda bound to arsenal and i think he will be there for quite a time as he seems not to be playing for money(if he wanted , he would have much better salary in some other club , as arsenal is known as not so rich club comparing to the rivals...) , and c.ronaldo is kinda too much looking for the wealth , but still at least 6-7 manU's standard players are putting their heart into the club , such as giggs , scholes , neville , van der sar , rooney kinda , ferdinand and few other... and I LoL @the thing about essien being chelsea's loyal... his club will always be lyon where he reached his top (:

and i dunno how you can you even deny the fact that chelsea is a 'robot team' when I can name at least 15 active players which were bought by >10 mil price in last few years , while there is no such club like them...

[fatman69]

and don't forget that main power of Manchester is not C.Ronaldo, whose skills are getting exagurated by the hour, but mostly guys from "the island"- Giggs- one of my favourite all time players, Scholes- arrogant bastard but still a good player, Rooney- no comment necesary for Rooney,...

then let's see, the imba defence that has played for the past years Brown (one of the guys that won the '99 CL trophy as well) Rio Ferdinand- probably the best defender in FA (not John "Slippy" Terry)....

need i say more??

[EDIT] just cuz i didnt mention Liverpool and Arsenal that doesnt mean that they don't have a big football tradition (unlike Chelsea)...

[sunnis]

I see united doing well without his star Ronaldo, they will end like Barcelona and Ronaldinho, in total failure.
Giggs wasn't playing even 50% games last season, Scholes is idiot, Rooney is fat pig and his club will always be Everton, Brown just sux, he isn't playing regular anymore.

Lets see others, hargreaves and carrick gave their hearts in other clubs, others as well.

the only one to respect actually is Rio Ferdinand, though Terry is better defender, and Chelsea has best defence atm.

now you will probably start bull****ing but take a look at Man U.
in last 3 years they brough 7-8 players of their 1st team.

actually take even a closer look, MU is owned by American.

When did Malcolm Glazer watch a MU game?

and just think of how many games/support Abramovich give to Chelsea, he watches games all the time.

tradition does not play football, I can name u some ECC winners who are not even in 1st national leagues now, or other who haven't won anything for years while having such prestigious titles.

bah I am just talking to stupid fans who are blind to se the truth.

[fatman69]

Manchester is atm missing more that just Ronaldo, but it can soon be slightly improved with coming of Berbatov. Ronaldo is a good player but there are other good players in Manchester...
keep in mind that those "fat pigs", "idiots", "players that just suck" are the ones who beat your precious Chelsea in race for the 2 most prestigious cups last year...

since we're on that topic, how many players can say that they've won 2 CL trophies in thier career? like Scholes, Brown, Giggs, G. Neville (although he didn't contribute very much for the last trophy)

most of the Chelsea cunts would be happy to have just 1, hell, they should be happy they were even in the finals...

Lets see others, hargreaves and carrick gave their hearts in other clubs, others as well.
no1 mentioned Hargreaves and Carrick, they are just regular players

the only one to respect actually is Rio Ferdinand, though Terry is better defender, and Chelsea has best defence atm.
yea John "Slippery" Terry, very nice defender. Peter Cech, with his helmet for retards, a mand that can't finish a training session without a slight concussion. not to mention the catastrophical errors he makes from time to time, at moments he is the best goalie in the world, but when he screws up, he screws up big time.

now you will probably start bull****ing but take a look at Man U.
in last 3 years they brough 7-8 players of their 1st team.
which would be logical since some of their players left, others from the generation '99 got old, that's what a good manager does.

actually take even a closer look, MU is owned by American.
and Chelsea is owned by a Russian. SO? Chelsea can be owned by a Queen of bloody England for all i care, but a club with so much investments and so little to show for is just pathetic.

When did Malcolm Glazer watch a MU game?

and just think of how many games/support Abramovich give to Chelsea, he watches games all the time.
is that really ****in important. it's about clubs and their tradition not about their owners...

dude you can say whatever you want, your Chelsea cunts will always remain a hired players, Manchester City can score even more cash from its new owners, but people will always know what clubs were always top clubs...

[KeweLi]

how about Frank Lampard who didn't want to leave or Carvalho or Essien.

in every big club there are mercenaries, Chelsea has biggest squad on world, so its possible they have most those players, but they have loyal ones as well.

What are you talking about? Carvalho and Essien were signed for big fees. So the only 2 good players Chelsea have had from the start are Lampard and Terry. Even Joe Cole was already a decent player before he went there. Being rich doesn't make you the best club and it definitely will not buy the player's heart (shevchenko etc).
Anyway Sunnis, I do not want to go on as you are not a even a true Chelsea/football fan.

[sunnis]

Right I am not true fan, just supporting Chelsea since the age of Viali and Zola.

I can name u full team(s) since season 1998 since I follow FA league and I had 8 years at that moment so STFU and go watch Chinese football before talking to me again, I bet u never even watch FA league there in China, while I watch each and every game Chelsea or Valencia plays, even if it is 0 important for them.

Fatman, the point is that Abramovich give heart and support Chelsea while Glazer never did that to MU, he is just there for money, and Abramovich is paying that money because he love and support club, he saved club from serious punishments and relegation, as it were bankrupt.

John Terry is a great player, yes he maybe missed one penalty, so did C.Ronaldo in that same final. Let me remind you that Chelsea achieve least goals for five last years.

and talking about "helmet" Cech wears, you just prove how idiotic you seem to be, because we all know why Cech wears it, and its Health reasons.
or perhaps Davids was idiot wearing nerd glasses too? etc.


btw Keweli if you call yourself Scouser it means you are Everton fan.
btw have you heard that they are moving Old Trafford out of Manchester, to cheapen the cost for the Home fans.

[fatman69]

dude he wears that helmet cuz he bumps his head into posts on training sessions. that's not a health reason, it's called being clumsy...

btw i haven't heard anything about moving out of OT.

[KeweLi]

Lie to us but you can't lie to yourself. From what you said before, I can easily tell you only recently read facts about Chelsea just so that you can have a team to talk about. And what's this business about China and the FA Cup? What a great argument. :)
I know that arguing with people over the internet makes you happy, but sorry, knowing the historic players of a club doesn't make you a fan. I can easily name their old players from the top my head.

[sunnis]

he wears it after a Wigan striker (forgot the name) heavily damaged his head with a knee. The medical team forbid him to play without protection since another "foul" of that kind can be fatal for his career or even life.

about OT moving, its a joke Man city fans made, because they have majority in Manchester, and the massive United fans come from outside.

tell me how can I hate and spit on other clubs, if I ever loved them before?

the first and the only team I loved in FA is Chelsea, since my favourite player as a kid was Gianfranco Zola, happy?

I watch every game Chelsea plays and if not live, than later on Chelsea TV

anyway you are not in position to say someone isn't fan, since you even don't watch games, its not even close to you. Go watch J league it suits you more.

[KeweLi]

Man you are seriously uninformed.
Hong Kong only focuses on the Premier League and the Championsleague and there are around 500 pubs to watch them in for every game. Teams like Portsmouth, Fulham and even Liverpool came to play friendlies just last year. And yes Gerrard, Torres, Alonso... all played.
So please, stop with the Chinese/Japanese rubbish when you don't have a clue what you are saying. You yourself should go watch the less superior league (la liga) if you like Spain so much.

who said I don't watch la league? And the fact is its not less superior.

I favor Valencia in Primera which imho did bad last season, but I do support it, and I hope to win UEFA cup this season, I support it as much as Chelsea and since I support Chelsea, as those are 2 of my favorite teams.

I also favor Milan AC while watching italian league and also since childhood.

teams like Valencia, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Villareal, Deportivo LC, and rest. are not to be underestimated.

actually if you look past 10 years the winners of Chapmions league.

4 titles by Spanish teams (3 Real Madrid 1 Barcelona)
3 titles by English teams (2 Man U 1 Liverpool)
2 titles by italian teams (2 Milan)
1 title Portugal and 1 Germany (Porto and Bayern Munich).

if you look over history of competition.

1st Italy (11 wins 14 runner ups).
2nd Spain (11 wins 9 runner ups).
3rd England (11 wins 5 runner ups).

one more fact, the best scorer in the history of Champions league is Raul, who happens to come from ****ty Spanish Primera.

now you can see what kind of fan I am, I favored my teams in their leagues even if they fail to complete expected goals.
I bet you would give up your Liverpool if they don't complete in top 4

you should look at some facts before trying to insult me Chinese child.
Now seriously go watch J/Chinese league.

[KeweLi]

Once again you show what a loser you really are.
Any idiot can go on the internet and read facts about football; this is exactly what you are doing and always have done. Anyway you can continue with what you want but I am not going to ruin this thread by talking to a kid who gets so sensitive over a forum.

[fatman69]

yea and the transfer era is kinda over so this thread is becoming pointless for now...

let's just give it up and gloat in "Football" thread where one of our team wins, in short, keep our crap to ourselves

no, I just proved how idiot are you.

I knew the fact about past ten champs, as well as the year, since it is 1998 since I follow Cleague, I get to remember all the champs.
I knew the fact about Raul as well, as I heard story Shevchenko wanted to beat him in top score.

the only thing I didn't know was through the whole history, but still its an interesting fact to know.

anyway I am not going to talk about European football anymore with a Chinese child, who don't even get to see a game.

anyway since this is transfer thread, close it until winter.
