I read somewhere his release clause is around the 40mil vicinity? No way we're paying over 25-30mil for anyone that isn't called Pogba or Bale.

If Dortmund want him he's probably going to be worth 40mil within a year after we sell him, they generally know what they're doing with young talent, same as Porto and Benfica. Generally if any of the 3 are coming after someone it means you should offer them a new contract and throw them in the first team.

We didn't need a dive & subsequent penalty to comeback either. Or a ghost goal to get there to begin with.

There are so many classy players in that team, exemplified by Buffon and Pirlo, that surely any neutral is going to be gunning for Juve to pull off an upset. Would love for Italian football to experience a renaissance too. Hell even Tevez, who I hated when he played in England, is a pretty admirable player when he's not playing against you.

I wanted Real to win as now Barca will most likely win the final, that being said Juve are a very solid, physical team and could go off our blueprint if they want to know how to beat Barca, although we never had to come up against Neymar and Suarez. As for the Bale debate, i'd rather have Pogba if we're going after 1 big marquee signing. But saying Bale couldn't get it done here is absurd when we saw how stellar he was at Spurs, there's no doubt that Bale could make as big an impact as Hazard throughout a season.

If not Schurrle, Oscar's goal against QPR was a top quality strike from memory, worthy of a vote.

Cheers mate, follow you on facebook and it's bloody hilarious.

Solid if unspectacular, but i'm sure Jose told him to go out and do the simple things and leave the fancy stuff to Cesc/Haz/Willian. Certainly showed up better than Mikel who seemed incapable of tackling anything moving faster than a walking pace, i'd already rate RLC above him. My Favorite moment was when he shoved Coutinho off the ball and drew a foul.

The fans clapped him off and in his post-match went straight to talking sh*t, I wonder if those who gave him that small courtesy regret it now.

Voted for RLC, 100% pass completion and 100% tackle success, hopefully he can knock Mikel out of the team.

I thought these movies were bloody awful in the past.

How is Solanke's 41 goals broken down? Because according to the U21 PL website he only has 10 in that competition which makes him =4th in the league. http://www.transfermarkt.com/u21-premier-league/startseite/wettbewerb/GB21 In that context it doesn't look quite as impressive.

I would say Mikel but i'll be accused of not understanding the nuances of football or tactics or defending. Benayoun is probably the worst player i've ever seen us sign. Marin, Cuadrado and Salah have all been amazingly underwhelming to date too.

Really hoping Cech comes out to Sydney when we play on June 6th, it looks like if he does play it will be his last Chelsea appearance, would love to be there for it in person.

We should look into Benfica, Matic seemed to enjoy himself.

Boateng clearly went with the 'i'm not letting you on your left foot no matter what' option. Unfortunately he was marking Messi, not Robben, who is more than capable of scoring with his right and is happy to take the opportunity when so gloriously offered.

Do you think this affects your chances of getting Bale? If you think it was ever a possibility at all.

Or that they are expecting Di Maria to leave. Then again given LvG's transfer business last year, signing Falcao when he already had Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandez and Welbeck, he may just have all four in his squad.

United have confirmed they are getting Depay, I wonder, particularly given that they have Di Maria and Mata already, that this means they won't be going after Bale?

Has he really had that many injury issues this season? Seems to me he only gets injured when Costa get injured which is a bit of an inconvinience, but he still seems to be on the bench every time Costa starts.

Thanks for that Plok, glad I finally understand what this is all about. Based on how trivial they have made the complaints of the Federation sound, I doubt it will seriously cause the stoppage of games. Not sure what will happen with the players association though, can the smaller clubs really band together and demand a bigger slice of Real and Barca's pie? Somehow I doubt it.

Brisbane Blues will be in Bay 143-1 right next to the goal, or as it will be known for the night, the Shed Lower! Where we're sitting if Drogba takes a free kick theres a good chance it will be going straight at us.

I don't understand why anyone would want to get rid of Remy when he's' had a very good goal scoring record so far.

The article wasn't overly clear on why, or perhaps it went over my head. The Spanish Government introduced new laws regulating broadcast deals for the top 2 flights of Spanish football, and they upheld the current imbalance of Real/Barca receiving nearly all the money, so the rest of the clubs/players threatened to go on strike?

Can't stand Barca, hope they lose 4-0 in the return leg. I've been inundated with messages from my plastic Barca supporting mates as its the 6th anniversary of OvreboGate.
