Apart from wanting at least 40+M for him (on some reports they had put a 50M price tag on him) it also needs someone to match his wage demands of 200,000 a week. Now if we could have done a sneaky bid with a sensible wage, I'd have thought of taking him as although he is hideously ugly, he is very dangerous near the goal and the kind of thing we have needed for years. But 200k on top of the huge price - who is going to pay that kind of money?
Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and Citeh.
As in the handful of clubs who will have a monopoly in the sporting arena of football if FIFA don't act. Which they won't.
Who was it that wanted a European Super League? Well there it is. Billionaire businessmen/governments/gangsters deciding who rules the roost rather than the talent of football players and managers.

No Cesc, RVP, Nasri or Arshavin in first training pics released on arse.com.
Bender and Denilson were though.
Also Ryo Miyaichi.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Happy to see Ryo.....wonder whats going to happen to him this year
AWOL posse a bit sad......but being senior members and all that......proabably were spared the early stretches, right?
(shit LDG, thought no one was about? was waiting around for NQ's opinion on Fox's Viennese sandwich biscuits!!? (see general chat) - I for one love the raspberry jam part - best be off myself actually)
I shit 'em - that's what!was waiting around for NQ's opinion on Fox's Viennese sandwich biscuits!!
Some of the players who had International commitments aren't due back in training 'till Thursday I believe.
Für eure Sicherheit
The big guns are due back on Thursday because they played internationals last month. Wonder if Cesc and Nasri turn up?
Surprised Denilson had the cheek to show his face after his heartfelt exit story. Cunt.
