Apparently, The Times are reporting that Ancelotti is trying to hijack our bid for Paulinho and is prepared to pay £20mil....time for Snr Baldini to have a word in his ear, perhaps!..
Don't we have a "relationship" with them? This doesn't sound like the sort of behaviour i would expect from a girlfriend. It also doesn't sound like the sort of behaviour for a girlfriend who is trying to prise your best player away from you.
Yes, I've been wondering about this "special relationship" for some time now. As far as I can see, so far, it consists of them trying to steal our best players, and in return we get....er...**** all!..not even a player on loan. Now, according to The Times, they are, in a special relationship sort of way, of course, trying to hijack our transfer targets too...!
You don't really think that Real see us as anything but a feeder club do you? It means zilch to Ancelotti.
True, but to help allay any fears, last season he was still 2nd top scorer for Barca....I can forgive him being 2nd to Leo!, outscoring and assisting their other young guns over the same amount of games. He was only on the losing side once in 28 games. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/barcelona/squad.html He's still got it imo, even if we got half a season out of him it'd be better than half a season without. He can't be more injury prone than VdV!
"Kate Bush lives near me in Berkshire. Her house is secluded from the main road and she is rarely seen in public" Singing : SC, it's me, Katie, I've come home I'm so bored, let me in in-a-your- ITK transfer window PS : My money is on the leather garb on Ms Quatro doing it for Spurcat back in the day.
No brainer at that money imo mate, just on 'presence' alone, he'll certainly give PL CB's something to think about. In the worst case scenario, we're more than used to 10m flops!
And now there's reports of Real trying to gazump us for Paulinho. Nothing to do with him not having his medical because he's busy with the Confederations Cup or anything... Today's Barca starlet we're linked to: Gerard Deulofeu
OMG have you seen his current club!?! Sum Yung Ho. No **** (wikipedia). That is brilliant. Nearly as good as Young Boys, ahem, Burn and Young Boys, ahem, ****edOff. I hope they've played. Young Boys vs Sum Yung Ho
But isn't that the very reason why the player announced that we were in for him? You would only do that because you didn't really want to come to us and would rather go to a bigger club. And if Paulhino thinks that he'll get anywhere near the game time at Real as he would with us, then let him go to Spain. We need players who actually want to play football, not those who are content to warm Real's bench, sat next to Rat Boy.
Maybe that's the reason, who knows? I have not seen this reported elsewhere - so far. If there is any truth to it, then it must be that "special" relationship we have with Real at work again!
have any details of what this relationship entails ever come out? I was under the impression it was part of the modric deal and therefore we should surely be getting something out of it Are we really getting nothing out of it other than our players poached? This doesn't sound like the sort of thing Levy would sign up for. Did he get mugged off?
From the BBC: Sheffield Wednesday have signed former Tottenham winger Jacques Maghoma from Burton Albion on a two-year deal. Made the League Two Team of the Season for the last campaign. Nice to see one of our former youngsters making a career for himself in the game.
He was a bit unlucky to get released by us, but he's gone away to Burton and worked at his game and has got his reward. He was getting MOM awards last season on a regular basis. Good luck to him, he deserves another chance at a higher level.
