July 10, 201213 yr No, no he wanted a modest wage rise. So we sold him and paid 18m for Romelu who has barely played. If he ends up a success at Liverpool it will be nothing short of a disgrace on the part of management. Maybe you're right about the wages, but I'm quite sure we didn't sell him since we got a training compensation.
July 10, 201213 yr Maybe you're right about the wages, but I'm quite sure we didn't sell him since we got a training compensation. Yeah, you're right. I think we got something like £300k
July 10, 201213 yr Author No, no he wanted a modest wage rise. So we sold him and paid 18m for Romelu who has barely played. If he ends up a success at Liverpool it will be nothing short of a disgrace on the part of management. I remember it differently, his agent was all over the place saying Borini deserved a first team place, wanted £30-40k a week etc. He never played because of the contract dispute at the time, with Ancelotti saying he was disappointed as he wanted to play him. I remember being pissed right off at the time with is agent as he was the one from that period of young players I truly thought would become a first team regular for us.
July 14, 201213 yr Stories for two of our exes at Hamburg. Rakjovic has been suspended indefinitely by the team for instigating a fight with a teammate. Not helping the reputation he has ever since he spat on that Olympic ref. Also, Hamburg are looking to sell on Tore, possibly for upwards of 5-6m. We will receive 50% of that fee as a result of a sell-on clause.
July 14, 201213 yr Rajkovic really seems to have some attitude problems. Don't know if he's a good player, but it seems we dodged a bullet there.
July 14, 201213 yr Rajkovic really seems to have some attitude problems. Don't know if he's a good player, but it seems we dodged a bullet there. I read that, in addition to needing some money at the club, Hamburg are selling Tore on because he has an attitude problem as well. He was statistically the highest dribbler in Europe last year, but apparently isn't the best person to have in your locker room. Since we're getting half of the transfer fee, hopefully some German team pays over the odds for him.

July 28, 201213 yr The first footballer to go into politics? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19028757 He's not even the first ex-Chelsea footballer - George Weah ran for president in Liberia in 2000-and-something [apologies, severe lack of knowledge on the subject].
August 6, 201213 yr Sounds like Tal Ben Haim is standing firm over getting his money from Portsmouth, a move that could completely liquidate the club. http://soccernet.esp...demands?cc=5901 On one hand, he comes across like a dick for possibly screwing all those fans over. On the other hand, he is legally owed the money, it is a lot of money, and I'm sure he realizes this is his last chances to get paid. Edited August 6, 201213 yr by ace
August 9, 201213 yr Sinclair has pretty much joined City now, still a few things to sort out but it's safe to say it's done. Borini opens the scoring in the dippers' Europa League match... Was a nice goal, Johnson's was fantastic though. Edited August 9, 201213 yr by Remodez
August 10, 201213 yr The game was such a sh*tshow. It reminded me of how I play FIFA whilst heavily intoxicated. http://youtu.be/7OPRxf2dKIg
August 10, 201213 yr Some guy earlier was going on about Suarez have two assists already for the first two goals. That first goal is not a Suarez assist. I'd say the same thing if it was Torres shooting and Lampard finishing.
August 10, 201213 yr Suarez was impressive. He Is another in the Tevez class. c**t but brilliant. Borini was superb. He just scores when needed. Weve become so focused on trying to analyse other players skeletons scoring because.of Torres we've forgotten how hard it is to just put it away when needed.
