every element helps, Rooney is England hero and white, Rio is just a defender and black
and tbh that is not my argument, i have been in UK for 9 years so don't have clues how things going on here but that is what people in work were telling me, is not like am inventing something new .. and tbh from watching FA treatment to Rooney, am starting to believe them

It patently IS your argument, as that's the only difference between them! They both play for England & United, they're both well respected players, the only difference is one is white & the other black, so if you're saying there's FA bias then by definition you're saying it's racist <doh>

You really need to think before you type man, your arguments make little sense, & have more holes than a Swiss cheese, try thinking about the issue in greater depth before spouting off about bias in the English game.
 
Bitter? Loser?

Who the **** are you like?

I stopped responding to your posts previously, as your points were inane & repetitive, that viewed everything from a simplistic, one eyed, docile, standpoint imo.

I therefore placed you in the 'not worth my time' envelope, this view was validated when I saw some of your 'own' viewed you in the same way i.e. a total twonk.

Is that you Brendan ?

am not an expert on how people thinks here .. am just passing what other British people told me about the culture, although have to admit people who told me this theory were black

Those figures mean nothing really, it's the net spend figure that's the relevant one, as Spurs are on the verge of taking their net spend back to zero!

yeahh .. that so called £70m AW was supposed to spend <laugh>

you have a point , thanks to Real generosity, I think spurs look much more stronger now and more as a team
we can take out Napoli too from the list

meanwhile one things is certain , all those money around has inflated some player prices with clubs started to asking for same amount of money for their world class players

I think Bale will fail in Madrid, but I may be wrong

ROFLMAO, you have to be a Scouser right?
They are obsessed with net spend!!
 
No idea what's amusing about that, it's a simple fact. Gross spend means **** all

Chavs don't like the concept of net spend as they're still intent on convincing people that their improvement under Roman has had little to do with him spunking money like P Diddy in a whore house.

Sorry Tobes but net spend means **** all. if you buy a player for 10 mil and sell a player for 5 mil the new player has not cost you 5 mil, he has cost you 5 mil cash + a 5 mil assett which in anyones book still equals 10 mil.
 
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has telephoned Anzhi Makhachkala owner Suleyman Kerimov to offer £32m for winger Willian, 25, in an attempt to prevent the Brazilian joining Tottenham.

don't Chelsea need a striker? or it is just a matter of sabotaging Spurs move ? or may be they simply want to find a replacement for Mata <whistle> hahaha
