David Bently to leave Blackburn it seems, says he wants to play in Europe.

Cant blame him for wanting that but its a bit of a kick in the teeth for his fellow team mates who he must think are sh*te.

 

[Seddo]

Great player in my opinion, i reckon he would improve even more with decent players around him. He wants Champions League football but i doubt United or Chelsea will come in for him when they can buy even better player from abroad. That will leave Arsenal and Liverpool, would he go back to Arsenal?, i'm not sure, if he doesn't that would leave him with Liverpool. Villa want 20 million for Barry (seriously what the f*ck), so how much would Blackburn want for him?, Liverpool seriously haven't got that money for him if they're after a few other players and even more if David Villa comes to Liverpool (crosses fingers).

 

Where's that going to leave him then?.

[gta phil gta]

Bentley's overrated and I wouldn't want to see him at Liverpool.

According to Sky Sports News after the little clip of him talking they said that Liverpool were strongly linked with him, although i've not heard anything and this was the first time i had heard it.

 

He's also a right winger and we already have Kuyt, Pennant and Benayoun in that postion so i doubt Rafa will go after him, but things could change in a weeks time.

[gta phil gta]

I've been reading about a lot of rumours and speculation linking us with him, so because of this I hope they aren't true. I hope the whole Barry situation just stops, too; the asking price is ridiculous and the guy is by far not worth those amounts of money.

I think he will sign for Liverpool this week for 18million. Stupid? Yes.

 

Bently for Everton?

[Crokey]

Bentley for City as well?

 

Which could be more likely than anyone else except maybe Liverpool, after all we've got his previous manager now, so you never know.

 

When's this Euro sh*te over with so we can get back to discussing fantasy transfers.

29th June they shall finish. Unless something big happens which delays the tournament which i can't see happening though.

 

If Liverpool don't come in for Bentley then i think it will be City, Everton and maybe spurs battling for him but which club will be the one coughing up 15-20 million for him?.

[mark-2007]

Does anybody know how Alexandre Pato has been doing? Also, Hamburg have got Macauley Chrisantus, the top scorer at last year's Under-17 World Cup for Nigeria, the winners. How has he got on? Has he been given first team football?

 

Also read Carlos Vela and Fran Merida will figure in Arsenal's first team plans. Can't wait, even though I'm not an Arsenal fan, they have got the most exciting footballers in the league. Wenger has said Vela is in the Eduardo mold, and Merida is very much like Fabregas, at least he is in history.

 

Sorry, just been re-reading 50 Most Promising Talents in World Soccer from a few months ago and wondered how they were doing.

Carlos vela has been doing good with Mexico scoring 2 goals in the last 2 games. I hope that he does good in Arsenal.

 

Also read an article that says that Real Madrid is ready to offer 95 million Euros for C.Ronaldo which would be hard to resist.

 

Mark can you give me a link to the 50 Most Promising Talents article?

Hes better than Barry...so maybe 30Million?

 

I missed tonight's footy because of the golf...looks like I missed a cracker.

[Seddo]

You watched golf over football .

 

Bentley could very well go to 30, but he could kick off and it might get reduced, who knows, players have a big say on their transfers these days.

 

Also today the Premier League fixtures are announced around 10am, i always look forward to them being announced to see who we play over the Christmas period and when we face United and Everton.

It's in a magazine with little profiles on them, and some of the more prominent are described in depth. If you want any of the profiles for any of them then I'll type them out for you. In the mean time, here's a link to them that I've found for you.

(imo) Bentley isn't better than Barry. And if you think Bentley's worth anywhere near 30 million then my word, how biased some opinions are just because an English player does good in a poor team.

BBC has all the fixtures to every league club in England, link is here.

Man Utd away first day of the season - easy peasy!

[The Unvirginiser]

I'm gonna put £50 on Ronaldo leaving United, I'm 100% sure

[*Mr.GTA*]

I'm gonna put £50 on Ronaldo leaving United, I'm 100% sure

I think it's way too early for him to leave, he should stay with Man Untd. for at least 2 more seasons.

They are preparing their first bid of £50Million this week to so call test the water with Man utd.

Reports say he wont report for training and hand in a transfer request.

 

Could be a fun few weeks watching this circus.

Yes, I can certainly see Oba and the Duke breaking through Vidic and Ferdinand's defence.

 

 

[Seddo]

Stefan got the 5000th post .

 

I seriously laugh my arse off if that happens.

 

Will be very interesting if Real come in with a 50 million bid even though United have said before hand that they would reject any offer. I wonder what Ronaldo's attitude will be like if United keep rejecting bids, i think he's made it very clear all though secretly that he wants to play in Spain earlier in his career than expected.

[Waddy]

They would laugh at £50million.

Shirt sales and other sponsorship deals plus the rest of his contract would be more than that.

 

However I wouldnt be so sure on the £50Million Chelsea are preparing for Torres...

That is the sole reason while i'm holding back on the new Liverpool kit at the moment, i was going to get Torres on the back of the top. I know he's stated about 3 times now that he has no intention of leaving the club but there's still doubts that creep in my mind with 'what if?'.

 

He did use to have YNWA stitched on his captains armband when playing for Atletico. He should stay .

 

There would be one of the biggest up roars in football ever by the Liverpool fans if he does get sold.

[Waddy]

The fact hes stated he wants to stay at Liverpool speaks volumes. This makes it pretty hard to sell the player if the club so wished. If they just up and sold himm Gerrard would probably walk with a few other players...It wouldnt be worth it unless Torres said he wanted to go.

Thats what Ronaldo would have done if he wanted to stay with Utd.

[The Killa]

Thats why you buy the kits without a name and number on it. It lasts for a little while longer. Regardless I don't think Torres would walk out like that though.

 

 

Where are LA in the table now? I can remember last season being a bit of a dissapointment for them

 

They're in 1st right now sitting on 20 pts. The season isn't anywhere near over though.

[*Mr.GTA*]

The MLS is really starting to piss me off now. They think that they can climb through the ranks and become a better league by signing players who are about to retire or the ones that are going to make them money. In reality though they only manage to fool the stupid fans. Seriously there is some people over here who think that David Beckham it's the best football player in the world, serioulsy wtf? Many if not most of the games are played in artificial turf and sometimes with the yard lines still clearly visible.The MLS still has a lot of time to catch up the the leagues in South America and the Mexican one, not to mention the European leagues.

Yeah the MLS isn't the best quality, and probably never will achieve the European-style of performance. But it's better than nothing. And some teams really need to invest in stadiums. The LA / San Jose match at San Jose last week was being played in a Baseball stadium for f*cks sake. It was the most awkward thing I've seen in my life. Still a long way to go indeed

As for this, he's the best footballer currently in the MLS maybe. Only 14 yr old girls would say internationally

[Stefan.]

David Beckham really never was that good; he just took a lot of spectacular free kicks and corners, and flaunted his looks through underwear commercials, and suddenly he's the world's best thing.

 

@Seddo: Ironic, considering I'm now 3 posts away from my 5,000th.

Dont talk total and utter sh*t.

David Beckham was one of the best ever English Footballers.
