Isn't he just a slow tempo bully? Like a shit Riquelme.

Don't dare badmouth Veron again.
Verón scored the winner for us vs Liverpool, a true blue Bridge legend.
Returning from retirement[edit]
In December 2016, Verón returned to professional football, signing an 18-month contract to play for Estudiantes in the 2017 Copa Libertadores. Verón had vowed to return if fans bought 65% of the boxes at the club's new stadium, and fulfilled that promise by signing an 18-month contract; he will be given a minimum salary that will go directly back to the club for everyday operations.[32] He made his first appearance for the club since coming out of retirement in a 1–0 friendly victory over Bahia in the Florida Cup, in Orlando, on 15 January 2017, playing the first half, before being substituted.[33]
:cab:
He's their chairman, hence the mad wage arrangement.
He would probably be the best player in the league by an absolute mile these days. Gutted, mate. If you can't play in a 4-4-fucking-1-1 then you're just an expensive bald waster.
Veron clearly needed a great manager behind him to flourish.
Milan are after Diego Costa, apparently. Chelsea could do worse than leaving whatever money they get for him in Italy and coming home with that lad Belotti from Torino.
United should sign him and Virgil van Dijk on deadline day.
Arsenal should be all over him. Just the kind of fuckhead they need.Quote:

Talk to me, @Pen.
Midfielder?
Elsewhere, England are 3-1 against Italy and are heading to the U20 World Cup final against Venezuela :drool:
I always think that's maybe the most underrated transfer of all time.Quote:

Has Conte ever played with a lazy lump who can finish up front? Costa, I suppose.
Shakespeare finally confirmed as permanent manager. Going big for Sigurdsson as well :nodd:
Sigurdsson would be a great signing.
I want Chilwell off you for our left wing back, but such things are pipedreams when there's probably some washed up 28 year old Brazilian in Serie A with a tattoo of the virgin Mary on his navel who can play the position.
Klopp is a big fan of Chilwell after his nonce mate had him on loan at Huddersfield. Talented boy but still has a way to go. Could be a breakthrough season for him and Demarai Gray next year. Look out for Harvey Barnes as well.
Seems as if the yearly Leicester signing for Chelsea will be Mahrez anyway.
Can see him going the way of Bale (Chilwell this is), albeit surely not quite as spectacularly, but he has the same legs/engine and complete little boy lost demeanour running backwards that GB used to have as a young boy. So a wing back role might be the one. I dunno, I just love full backs in the same way I love left arm spinners.
Not sure where Mahrez fits in for us unless THE SYSTEM gets the chop.
Not as physically impressive as Bale but can carry the ball so naturally. His best moments have been at wing back for us, second half against Atletico Madrid especially. Unfortunately don't see us playing it that often.
Lol let's face it he'll end up at Burnley before savaging the lower leagues.
I'm on Big Islam Slimani for a 20 goal season this year, will up it to 45 goals if Sigurdsson goes there, don't tell me Big Islam is going to end up in Russia or something.
Might be off to CHINA if we get Ł35m+
Best striker I've probably ever seen in our domestic league. I think Benfica or someone were after him a while back and it seems HJK are holding out for €2m for him, which might be a big thing for your lotbI'd imagine. Would be well worth it imo and would be gutted to see him go.Quote:

If you end up getting him, I think it will be a good move for both him and you. I think being a guaranteed starter is a key thing for his development at this point and he should do really well in the SPL. Poor mans Lukaku somewhat comes to mind.
He seems really impressive. Some scoring record.
Deal seems tied up, awaiting work permit.
Herrera and Pena work permits are done and should be announced next week. Daniel Candeias is in Glasgow now, having a medical tomorrow and hopefully announced tomorrow afternoon.
I'm expecting Jamie Walker and Graham Dorrans in within the next week and possibly Kenny McLean later in the window to complete our window.
Incredibly quick and efficient business so far.
Slutsky has been confirmed as Hull manager.
edit: Oh and Garry Monk to Boro.
"Slutsky's playing career ended at just 19 years of age. He had to retire due to a knee injury sustained after falling out of a tree while rescuing a neighbour's cat"
I saw Palace were having talks with Walter Mazzarri, which is mental on just about every level.
I must have heard Jonathan Wilson tell that story at least 10 times over the last decade.Quote:

EDIT: Apparently Zlatan staying with the club to recover and may or may not get a new contract in 6 months time.
Garry 'The Snake' Monk is the next Boro manager.
:harold:
Brighton have agreed a fee with Valencia for Matthew Ryan, the Australia goalkeeper. No rumoured figure but a good start to their business IMO.
Not sure I've seen him play but I'm pleased - only going off the facts that he's an international, good enough for Valencia to have seen something in him, and good on FM.
How highly do you rate him, @ItalAussie?
I hope 'Zlatan' comes back for six months when he gets himself fit. United seem to be after both Morata and Andrea Belotti now. I watched a YouTube of the latter the other night, with all of his twenty-odd goals coming from a combined distance of about sixty yards, so their options would cover most circumstances.
Some top free agents are becoming available from us. Sammy Ameobi, Vurnon Anita (aww ...) and Haris 'well, we tried' Vuckic.
The fullbacks City are releasing can't be that bad, can they? Lengthy Serie A careers await.
Anita was an odd one. He did really well under Rafa in the Prem at right back and he's incredibly versatile.
Incredibly highly. A really good shot-stopper.Quote:

That should see the end of Smalling at the club. Perhaps Jones too, although I've read that Jose has a thing for him.
Banging.
So long Smalling.
In terms of Jones, I'd like to keep him but only because of his face and the mental header he did on the ground. He's a weird but somehow loveable hero.
Lindelof really good then?

Decent but no Chris Smalling.
Let us all appreciate the legend that is Phil Jones please:
