MartinC Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Remarkable, indeed. I think the blue should be darker, but overall it's a nice looking shirt. THATS what you took from the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bay Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 THATS what you took from the video? I see a lot of weird things out of videos. Just ask Young Chew in the Owned Thread. It was pretty low quality (though most video presentations from the club are) and the build up was cringe-worthy. I think the fella is a life long fan, so at least there's that.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) This aired on the BBC last Friday night as a tribute to the greatest football pundit of them all who brought the curtain down on his small screen career after 22 memorable years at Sundays World Cup Final. And prior to that he was one of the games all time great defenders. An absolute living LEGEND in everything he does. And one of the most humble guys going despite all his success in whatever he touches. I met his wife in the aftermath of Hillsborough when Kenny and Marina, along with most all the players and their wifes/ girlfriends, threw the clubs doors open and became a remarkable 'counselling service' for want of a better expression to a City's grief. The unique bond between my club and my City. And she is just as humble and caring as her husband. We've shared the highest of highs and the lowest of lows Jockey and I, and this is a fascinating personal look at the life and career of the very BEST of the BEST. Seriously, Liverpool fan or just a plain lover of football, if you have a spare hour this is MORE than worth the watch: "Eyes are blue; Six Foot Two; Alan Hansen's after you; Na Na NaNa Na Na,Na Na .....'

Elessar78 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Latest rumor J. Rodriguez to Real for €80 millions + Casimero (don't ask me who is he). Shall I see a conflict comin' up with CR7 ? I know who Casimero is. I bought him in FIFA '12. haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(checks box) But everyone wants a London side. DC I resent that jab....LOL Latest rumor J. Rodriguez to Real for €80 millions + Casimero (don't ask me who is he). Shall I see a conflict comin' up with CR7 ? So they can afford Bale, Ronaldo and Rodriguez? I don't think CR7 will welcome Rodriguez right now.

RawBBQSauce Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Real will offload Di Maria in order to help fund the James Rodriguez move if, indeed, it does end up happening. It makes sense considering Real was playing Di Maria in central midfield for most of the second half of the season. Not exactly the best place for him but a necessity because of Ronaldo and Bale. So you move Di Maria out of central midfield and replace him with James, who is the hottest midfielder in the world right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrFan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) So they can afford Bale, Ronaldo and Rodriguez? I don't think CR7 will welcome Rodriguez right now. It is believed that they're going to sell Di Maria to ManU for €60 millions eventhough he wants to play for PSG. They're also interested in Falcao, who won't be traded under €60 millions. They've got an abyssmal €500+ millions deficit. That's ok with the assclown Platini's financial fairplay, and on top of that you have the former king of Spain who was always influencing the banks to loan millions to Real. They spent €1 billion on transfer fees over a 10 years span ! If they pull the trigger on Falcao, bye bye KB !

Elessar78 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) NYT: A Qatari Soccer Program Looking to Rise Buys a Foothold in Europe On that day, a group of about 20 men toured the 8,000-seat stadium, examining its sparse amenities and looking out at the drab surrounding areas. They then moved on to K.A.S. Eupen’s small offices, where a candid acquisition meeting between club officials and executives from Qatar’s Aspire Academy, based in Doha some 3,000 miles away, began promptly at 10 a.m. Even those in the room would later describe this meeting between the officials of a mostly anonymous Belgian soccer team and representatives of a Middle Eastern royal family as surreal. As they negotiated the details of the acquisition, four different languages were spoken — English, French, German and Arabic — and while the club had a multilingual staff member on hand to help translate, there were still moments of inevitable confusion. One could see why. On the surface, the two groups had nothing in common, but each also possessed something the other needed. For the officials from Eupen (pronounced OY-pen), the lure was obvious: money. Like many small-time soccer clubs in Europe, Eupen was on the verge of financial ruin; the Qatari royal family represented a surprising and unusual jackpot.

He's been elected best player of all times at Juventus. He was a great player, now a UEFA laughing stock. One anecdote: Giovanni Agnelli CEO of Fiat and former owner of Juventus used to have a Van Gogh in his boat cabin, he replaced it by a picture of Platini.

I wonder how Isco feels tho? He may have been listed as a central midfielder on paper, but he was terrorizing the left wing offensively and defensively. Might as well called their formation a 4-2-4 with Di Maria at LW, CR7 and KB at ST, and Bale at RW. I'm sure Real would like to develop Isco further but it's a true arms race vs Barca right now after the Suarez signing.
