Robinho huh? I guess pissing off Chelsea isn't as good as pissing off United, but it'll do. I guess City may have pushed up the price of the Berbatov deal too. I bet the blue half of Manchester can't wait for the next transfer window now.
Easily the most action-packed deadline day in ages.
Definitely. Oh well, theres goes the good nights sleep. Welcome Berbe. :aimkiss:Quote:

I'm gonna be angry all day now, I hope the idiots that let this atrocity happen go to hell, seriously.

Also, from Italy:
Diego Milito's transfer from Zaragoza to Genoa was doomed to fail when the Italian Lega Calcio (agency who deal with all the transfers) announced they had closed at 7 last night and pulled out all the plugs so the fax machines wouldn't work anymore. If the papers were in before 12 o'clock last night,the transfer would go ahead.
Milito's agent, Pastorello, had a very smart technique to make sure the papers were in on time, by throwing them over a temporary wall into the office.

hahahaha what a nutter. Apparently the transfer was confirmed.
Hahaha, that's excellent. xD
Every club is a hypocrite in this area. Be it Ronaldo, Barbatov, Barry, Robinho... they all do it. Although the news report that SAF said Berbatov's name was based on a fansite in Norway which used a poor translation and later apologised for this, so United were within their rights when they said that they'd done no (publically knowledgeable) wrong.Quote:

Anyway, with Man City set to become the new Chelsea, I wonder if the Big 4 will become a Big 3 or a Big 5. I'm not entirely sure if Liverpool and Arsenal can consistently spend ridiculously insane amounts of money to the degree that Chelsea, United, and apparently City can.
Oh Newcastle, you are a constant source of amusement. xD
As I said before I do think the ridiculous sums of money being thrown around yesterday was mostly purely down to the fact that we only had about 12 hours or so where we'd suddenly gained the ability to make offers for players that previously were never anywhere near being possible. Sure, from now on we're probably going to be up there with the United and Chelskis but Chelski have wasted enough money on flops to show you that money can't buy you smurf all if you spend it in the wrong places. As long as we get our priorities straight and take care with what we are doing I think we'd become a lot more effective if we wrote off what happened yesterday as a one off and planned out the future, next season or two say than if we just try and throw money in everyones faces and end up like the Real Madrid "galacticos" who had all the shirt selling players but did smurf all with them. Which is probably going to be hard listening to the statements made by the new owners who are pretty much going to be demanding we win every smurfing trophy going.
I know, what a joke they are. :laugh:Quote:

We also seem to now employ the most expensive Belgian footballer ever.
Well I am an Arsenal fan, and whilst I am disappointed we did not sign someone, I like to put my faith in the manager. Despite everything, I don't think anyone could do a better job than Wenger right now, and if we fail to win trophies this season, then obviously he will be at fault for not buying. But for now all I can do is I get behind the team.Quote:

I would be seriously upset with the Arsenal board if I was an Arsenal fan.
So no I am not 'seriously upset'
Maybe Arsenal will do alright, but it seems a bit silly not to invest a bit more. Anyway, completely pointless to debate this, because time will tell.
What the hell is going on with club owners though? Keegan & Curbishley were both seriously undermined. It's ridiculous that managers don't have any input in their players anymore.
I just hope this trend does not continue.
Newcastle and West Ham have always been crazy clubs. It's not exactly a new phenomenon. Just sit back, enjoy it and provide mocking laughter.
Yes, I may not know what the future holds for Arsenal, but at the very least right now, I can be thankful I do not support West Ham or Newcastle.
