Speaking of big money buys from Porto, did anyone else see this: tinyurl.com/cs95kdv ?

Basically, we dished out £32m in total to essentially put ourselves in arguably the worst state we'd been in in a decade, and he got paid £12m for 7 months of doing absolutely nothing save for completely farking everything up at the club.

I don't even need to click on the link to see that's from Daily Fail. They're not wrong though. Such a waste! We could well have ended the seasopn 7th and trophyless under him.

I mean, I knew it was an expensive flop, but reading the sheer numbers today, they're are just staggering.

by Blue Barrett Thu May 31, 2012 11:42 pm

Well, just another attempt by the media to show how much Roman spends in order to further fuel the "my god, look how they waste money" brigade. :coffee:

by Shed Thu May 31, 2012 11:46 pm

It's far too rife nowadays. Just like that pathetically sensationalist "Chelsea drop £78m for Hazard" headline on Monday in the Telegraph I believe it was.

What a joke that was. I thought that sort of fact-twisted reporting was beneath them, but I guess I was wrong.

Think before complaining, people...

Who's complaining??

You are aware NONE of those wages were applicable to FFP accounts, now we have added Cech new 4 year deal, Hilarious got an extension, Marin and who ever might be next.

I'm airing on the side of caution with it as last time UEFA tried to make an example of us with the Kakuta crap, hopefully we can get the stadium on the way or a dodgy branding deal will do me fine :bow:

No, I don't mean our own fans, I'm talking about the "but...but...but...FFP! How are you spending all this money?!?!?!" crowd, mostly from bitter opposition fans. They're not looking at both sides of the coin.

Yes, we're bringing wages on, but we also cleared quite a bit off. That's all I'm sayin.

Indeed, it's a good start. I really want the stadium plans to move on further though, we are missing out on a shite load of money from match day revenue Sad

Don't worry broseph I get your point, but you have to remember all these new ones apply to FFP none of the old deals did. There was talk of Frank getting a new deal too which potentially will be a hefty one too.

According to We aint got no history, they are wrong.

In other news, If we buy Hulk 38m, Hazard for 32m and got Marin for 8m, that is only 2m pounds more than what liverpool got Carrol, Henderson and Downing for. Laughing

Chill guys, we aint getting screwed from ffp... but all depends on our success..

From L'Equipe:

L'attaquant belge va désormais passer sa visite médicale à Londres avant de signer son bail ce dimanche et d'être présenté dans la foulée à la presse.

Google translate:

The Belgian striker will now pass a medical test in London before signing the lease this Sunday and be presented following the press.

by Shed Fri Jun 01, 2012 5:21 pm

That seems to be the general consensus. I'm anxious to see him perform against England tomorrow. If he doesn't have a 100% FLAWLESS game you can expect the morons to be out in full-force calling him overrated and a flop in the making.

LOL, you should see people on suckernet right now. Trolling our threads big-time. Mostly out of bitterness it seems. Poor kids Smile

Did you hear about the VDW rumour? 8mil they say.

by Kick Sat Jun 02, 2012 3:47 am

Yeah, not too sure about it.

by Blue Barrett Sat Jun 02, 2012 4:01 am

How often have you watched him play?

by Kick Sat Jun 02, 2012 4:22 am

Not often but when we are linked to a player I read a lot about them. I guess we will see when Euro's start.

by Blue Barrett Sat Jun 02, 2012 4:34 am

Hopefully he's decent and has as much(or even better) of an impact that Cahill ha.
