It's better for us if he stays at Liverpool.

Aguero lol

Captain

I think the Atletico chairman is on a wind-up, he said the other day that he turned down a Chelsea bid that was enough to trigger Aguero's release clause.

Is the Torres deal actually going to happen? I presumed they weren't going to sell a key player so late in the window. Torres to Chelsea... finding it hard to get my head around that.

Captain

Just seen that Tottenham's alleged bid was enough to trigger the clause too despite being £10m less than the supposed Chelsea one.

Why is Aguero's clause so low? These guys usually all have £100m ones.

goon

"Sky Sports News report that Spurs have bid £38.5million (€45million) for Aguero - but the bid was rejected, which does trigger his release clause but taxes mean the player would have to pay much more than that figure to buy himself out."

What?

Timbob

Cant see Aguero going to Spurs. Wont he completely wreck their wage structure?

lorddulaarsenal

You'd think Tim. They just want to land a big name I think

James

...is this not the same club that's looking to move to a new stadium, and says money is the main reason they wont stay at WHL? Laughable.

So are you suggesting they should be saving their pennies to say in Tottenham? I reckon their decision is more based on the fact that Tottenham is one of Europe's worst neighborhoods, which makes it less attractive to the middle class fanboys that will pay obscene ticket prices.

Anyways, what a joke. Do they honestly expect Aguero to join Spurs over Chelsea? And where the hell does ENIC get all this money?

James

Yes, i am suggesting that shithole should forever be their home. At least thats what they want hah.

Aside from some decent transport links and a small shopping mall, Stratford is hardly Kensington itself 😃

lorddulaarsenal

They spend just as much as city they do

It has a poundland to be fair.

Yeah, i'm sort of torn about how I feel about them moving. On one hand, I think their delusion would reach new heights we've never seen in our lifetimes, having a nice prawn sandwich stadium and all. On the other hand, are they even the same club anymore? Can we even really it the NLD anymore? Either way, I'll end up hating them even more whatever they do.

Haven't been there in ages but remember there being a disproportionate number of trainer shops and a sainsbury's.

The new Westfield is supposed to be brilliant once it opens though.

goon

Yeah, though one of them has closed down and it's just JD Sports and Footlocker now. I only ever go there since it's around the corner for Specsavers and GAME.

Ilford is pretty decent.

From Soccernet's roundup of the Notts County - City match:

Richard Jolly wrote:
In the meeting of the oldest Football League club and the world's richest club, the £150 million team were trailing to a goal from Neal Bishop, whose CV contained Spennymoor, Billingham Town and Whitby (his opponent in midfield was Patrick Vieira, formerly of AC Milan, Inter and Juventus).

What, Arsenal doesn't rate a mention in Vieira's list of impressive previous employers? 😐 Fuck you too Richard.

A slick early move served as an indication that the new recruit can seem a budding Zlatan Ibrahimovic, serving as the focal point of the attack, the pivot and the creator in one.

😆 Does he realise that he's comparing a clueless idiot to the most creative centreforward in football? Dzeko was awful yesterday. Brought fuckall to their overall play as usual. Their only successful move all game came when they ignored his attempt to drop deep and started playing down the right flank and then crossed it in instead. You don't need a £27 million striker to score that kind of goals.
