2014/15 Barclay's Premier League Thread

[PeteLFan]

James Rodriguez to real Madrid I know it doesn't belong here but no other thread.

[devo22]

£63m ... is "Madrid" spanish for "madness"? That would explain a lot ...

Gotta keep up with the Joneses.

Fair enough, but I liked this part the best:

Jurgen Klopp has slammed reports that Mats Hummels will leave Borussia Dortmund to join Manchester United for 20 million euros.

"I can guarantee you that there are no indicators for [Hummels or Reus] to leave," he said at a sponsor's event. "What was it today? Mats to United? For what? 20 million [euros]? With those amounts you can forget about that straight away anyway."

Yeah, you can land arguably the most sought-after CB in the world for £16M or so. No, I'm sure David Luiz's horrible World Cup and £50M transfer wouldnt be a comparable at all.

If Luiz is worth £50M then whats Hummels worth? It'd be astronomical.

[Nuje]

Yeah I thought I saw that figure in this thread even but Maybe I'm mistaken. If that happened, it would have to mean that the glazers or Van Gaal have video of Klopp that's reeeeeeally bad.

[devo22]

16m were brought up by the Daily Fail, so I'm shocked that anybody actually reacts to the garbage they produce.

that being said, Klopp really is a badass. Coolest manager in football.

Klopp, just playing hardball.

£16M + Bebe + Anderson should get er done.

I don't think offering the same amount and throwing in 2 awful players is sweetening the pot.

He was either being heavily sarcastic or hes been subjected to the ManU Rohypnol.

My sarcasm detector isnt always firing on all cylinders but my money is on sarcasm.

My bad, if it was sarcasm I should of picked up on that one. And a tip of the hat to Bagor for it.

Luis was worth £50M before the world cup.

Now, I think not so much.

Luis isnt worth 3 magic beans right now.

Mourinho got away with murder on that sale. Absolute murder.

Lucky basterd.

Man does he love to whine about the schedule. Soon to be BFFs with Wenger.

Louis van Gaal thinks Manchester United are putting his chances of success in jeopardy by dragging the first-team squad across the U.S. on their preseason tour.

[Bagor]

Aspas takes the victim mentality to new heights.

“They are treating Luis like a murderer and not like a footballer,” he said. “There are murderers who pay less [for what they have done].

http://www.theguardian.com/football/...barcelona-bite

“Liverpool had a great season and I learned a lot from my team-mates,” he said.

Obviously.

Calgarypuck Mufc fans taking attention away from a post about their manager whining with basically irrelevant posts :P.

[devo22]

meh, it's not surprising that van Gaal is a bit overwhelmed by size of the tour and the things they have to do there for the sponsors. Nothing to see here.

Wow! Manager complains about schedule! Earth shattering! But then again, look at your avatar. The biggest whining victim in the history of the PL.

Meanwhile a player suggests that murderers are treated better than Suarez is more irrelevant. lol Sure buddy.

[Nuje]

It's hardly premier League news anymore as Suarez is gone *shrug*.
