foxes_rule1978 Posted 31 January 2016 Posted 31 January 2016 Milan beat Inter 3-0 today in the derby. Niang, the guy we were linked with on Friday, scored their 3rd. Eder started for Inter and missed a couple of decent chances in the first half. Inter were fairly poor in the 2nd half though. And in Bayern vs Hoffenheim, Kramaric apparently missed about 3 or 4 really good opportunities. To be taken from this: Buy Niang... We did well to avoid Eder And right to let Kramaric leave
Livid Posted 31 January 2016 Posted 31 January 2016 Watched Kramaric, first chance the keeper saved for the second he burst clear and just put it wide. Can't believe Werder Bremen are where they are, consistent CL qualifiers a few years ago. That's how it goes I guess one poor year.
RedHux Posted 31 January 2016 Posted 31 January 2016 There's no way miha is getting rid of niang. Even with the imminent return of menez. Nothing of the sort has been even hinted at here and they love a rumour.
StanSP Posted 1 February 2016 Posted 1 February 2016 There's no way miha is getting rid of niang. Even with the imminent return of menez. Nothing of the sort has been even hinted at here and they love a rumour. we did contact Milan apparently but given he started and scored and looked fairly comfortable whilst playing he's not going anywhere. He's better than Menez, too.
RedHux Posted 1 February 2016 Posted 1 February 2016 He's started more games then not this season which is why I can't see them wanting to sell. Menez is great but he's that bloke who plays in every Sunday league side who thinks he's Ronaldo and never passes.
MC Prussian Posted 1 February 2016 Posted 1 February 2016 Local Argentinian rivals Estudiantes and Gimnasia La Plata involved in a mass brawl. Referee called the game off in the second half.
purpleronnie Posted 1 February 2016 Posted 1 February 2016 Bunch of cowards kicking players when they're down.
MC Prussian Posted 2 February 2016 Posted 2 February 2016 Johnny Heitinga calls it quits at age 32 already:
MC Prussian Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 China are starting to invest heavily - they've begun implementing a Chinese player rule in the Portuguese Segunda Liga and now buy a lot of highly-touted (Brazilian) footballers for their own clubs back home. First, Ramires for £25m, then Jackson Martinez for £31m. Alex Teixeira is next - for a rumoured transfer fee of a whopping £38.4m: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35500020
Jordan Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 The Chinese company sponsoring the deal with the Portuguese 2nd division has dropped the proposed requirement that all its teams have Chinese players in their lineups after much outcry from the players union and others. Other "exchange program" aspects are expected to be implemented, though: http://en.yibada.com/articles/101381/20160128/china-football-portugal-segunda-ligas-chinese-sponsor-drops-demand-mandatory.htm The money being spent and offered by Super League clubs is mind-boggling, though I wonder how wise these investments are. Oscar is the latest rumored target, and Yaya Toure is apparently also in their sights.
Dan Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Who other than the three Jiangsu have signed of significance has actually joined that league? Is it just Jiangsu throwing this money about or are there a lot of them at it but on a smaller scale?
purpleronnie Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Surely theres no hope of making that money back? No matter how much money is spent on that league the players will just be there for the money and the league won't ever be attractive to the fans around the world like our league is.
Samilktray Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Officially on the Chinese Super League bandwagon. Loyal Shangai Shenua fan here, going on Ali to get my Guarin shirt.
MC Prussian Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Surely theres no hope of making that money back? No matter how much money is spent on that league the players will just be there for the money and the league won't ever be attractive to the fans around the world like our league is. Last thing I heard is that the Chinese government are a major stakeholder and pumping money into the league like crazy. They have serious ambition to become World Champions at one point. Not sure whether you can attain such a goal with a five- to ten-year plan, though. Looking at the state of Chinese football at the moment, it'll take more than that.
Mr.10 Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Love the idea that Carillo has only chosen Benfica to further piss off Sporting. Probably hasn't but still. Allow me to explain. He has been treated like shit by the Sporting chairman, he had one of the lowest wage of the team although he was a key player. He didn't care when Carrillo asked for a bigger wage. Carrillo ended the season with 7 goals and 18 assists (beast mode!), carried in shoulders by Sporting fans (literally) and ... 1 year of contract left. He didn't wanted to renew his contract and the chairman pushed him away from the first team, Carrillo was, eventually, going to end up in the english or the spanish league in the end of the contract. Benfica saw the opportunity (btw, FcPorto saw it too) and went for it. He's going to earn 8 times more than in Sporting (4M€), almost as much as Salvio, Nico Gaitán and Luisão. Sorry for the long (very long, really) post.
Mr.10 Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 Daily Mail says Mourinho may go to China as a consultant. Things are getting weird in China. Ramires, Guarín, Alex Teixeira, Jackson Martínez... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3433663/Jose-Mourinho-latest-target-Chinese-Super-League-want-bring-sacked-Chelsea-boss-consultant.html
Mr.10 Posted 5 February 2016 Posted 5 February 2016 5 more goals for Benfica. 19 more goals than Porto and 16 more goals than Sporting with 1 more game.

ScouseFox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 battle of the big guns in france tonight guys. marseille vs psg. zlatan scores inside 2 minutes. HOWEVER steven fletcher is on the bench so we're all expecting a marseille win.
StanSP Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 battle of the big guns in france tonight guys. marseille vs psg. zlatan scores inside 2 minutes. HOWEVER steven fletcher is on the bench so we're all expecting a marseille win. i still don't quite understand Fletcher to Marseille . Although didn't realise Marseille haven't won at home since September! Remy Cabella equalises. Great run, unchallenged and scores from about 25 yards out.
ScouseFox Posted 7 February 2016 Posted 7 February 2016 yeah marseille have been shit for a year or so now, and not as in not as good as psg, as in really, really bad. which probably explains why they're relying on bringing steven fletcher on to rescue something if they're losing later on.
