Wow, that's a Torres or two.

Chelsea actually do spend quite a lot. It's just that most were quite young, so the transfer fee doesn't really reflect their strength.

Probably the best montage of the world cup, ESPN go one better than CBC here.



In other news Conte replaced by Allegri at Juve, and they've lost Iturbe and look like they're about to lose Pogba and Vidal. Looks shambolic for the Old Lady.

Yup. We were pretty much Man City in terms of spending power compare to other clubs (excluding Real Madrid).

so apparently every german player is a racist now because they depicted the argentines as sad in the "Gaucho-Gate", which was interpreted as racist and nationalsoialistic.

i am done.

Haha, I know, well Israel news did comment about your celebration. Here we don't really give a shit, on the contrary, we are happy you are celebrating it as you should!
There is just an uruguayan working here in Argentina who was complaining and calling you nazis, lol.

Just read about Lahm resigning as well. But as usual here in Germany, people prefer to complain about his past mistakes and encourage his resignation instead of thanking him for what he did for the national team. I'll never get our fans, really.

People are complaining? About what? About him playing like the best player on the world that could ever be on his position? lol
Media here is kinda nuts anyway. It feels like they're depressive paparazzi whores who can't grant their own football national team some slack for WINNING and celebrating the WORLD CUP lol

Lahm easily is the best right winger of his generation, if not of all time. people who complain about him just show themselves as the stupid mongrels they are.

They really are, yeah. I'm just as surprised as you are.
Things along the lines of he resigned because he wasn't allowed to play in midfield any longer, how he'd write his next book of criticism next and all those things. It's a pain to read through. Then again, as you said - nothing new. Both from the media and the following comments on the various sites that reported it.
Perhaps haters is the more fitting word instead of complaining? I guess so.

Klose to retire after this coming season.

In other news various sources claim Remy has agreed on an 8m-ish quid move to Liverpool, Rodriguez has apparently agreed on a near world record fee to join Real Madrid and Fabio Borini has agreed to move to Sunderland for a 14m quid fee.

Klose was expected. he had a long successful career and i'm very happy that he got to be a world champion, so we can remember him as one of germany's brightest stars together with Fritz Walter, Franz Beckenbauer, Jürgen Klinsmann and all the other titlewinners.

It's 63m quid according to most sources. Real at it again, bloody hell.

Anyway a nice tribute to Juan Arango on the Bundesliga channel, leaving Borussia M'gladbach after a glorious few years at the club.

Drogba has returned to Chelsea with a year long contract! So much awesome transfer news. I can't handle it anymore.

From an Arsenal viewpoint let's just say we're not too pleased to see ol' Drog back. Had some not-so-pleasant flashbacks when I read the news.

Anyway we've officially signed David Ospina from Nice for a bargain price by the looks of it. We're also in discussions with Soton over Calum Chambers and possibly Morgan Schneiderlin. Apparently Gnabry and Jenko may be going in their direction on loan.

Lukaku moves to Everton. I fear this is going to be a mistake in the near future.


EDIT: Bertrand to Southhampton on loan. Great deal for both sides, but do we have enough home-growns? idk

Hope Southampton can replace their departed stars. They've been completely raided this summer, though I'm sure they can just promote some newbloods from their youth teams.

Khedeira in the talks with both Bayern and Arsenal. Real doesn't want workhorses but rather artists, (it worked so well for the spanish team this world cup right?) so they want to sell him. Bayern prolly will get Khedeira, wish that he goes to Arsenal though :/

It's always fucking Bayern, honestly if they manage to pull Reus within the next year as well I'll be godamn pissed. At some point they'll probably have the whole national team.

I mean, whoever's got the money amirite...
Honestly, I find it a bit sad that many (young) players get bought up by Bayern and then they rot on the bank for 2 years. Lots of wasted potential and time (and probably opportunities to have a happy/exciting career)
I guess it's cool for me as a fan that we have so many great players but we've already been at that point for a long time where we just buy whoever we want and that person comes 'coz we have the name and the money. My biggest deal I have with that is because it's getting boring
Oh well, that's just how it goes I suppose. I still love Bayern :)

PS: On the bright side, every buy we had these few 2-3 years has been a great addition to the team. Lewandowski is already playing like a fucken BEAST. Like, WOW. Love this guy xD

Problem is it seems like Bayern is simply buying out the rest of the Bundesliga. They're generating some great talent from their youth system, as we've seen recently, but they're greatly weakening other clubs. I'm just afraid that players like Draxler and Reus will also be absorbed by Bayern. The domestic scene needs competition, it's what keeps it interesting and healthy like in France, Netherlands and England. If Bayern trounces everyone and dominates the scene for several seasons it'll lose its glamour. I want to see other clubs like BVB, Schalke and Leverkusen giving them a good run.

lol lol lol we lost to Werder Bremen by 0:3. I don't think moving Torres to the winger side isn't working at all. Mourinho has been testing this for the past few friendlies, but it's just not showing anything positive out of him.
