Peace.

If the wage is really about £80k per week, then I hope the deal collapse.

LDN, I am sure that you remember his goal against Napoli last year at San Siro.

Yeah, I am really gutted we didn't get him before he signs a new contract with Barcelona. He can pass, he also can dribble and score. A really good player, he's one of my favorite youngsters. Though we won't get him. His buy-out clause is up to €90m and he plays quite a lot at Barça. Though we should go for his brother, Rafinha Alcantara, I heard he was better than Thiago. His buy-out clause is around £8m if I remind well, and I read we were scouting him.

You can counter the effect on the short term, but not in the long term.

Don't you mean Alcantara ?

Yeah, I was thinking that while writing. How can he be better in one month than in one year ?....

We've bought him the 31 of January.

Lol, now he is said to smoke five cigarettes per day. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2080574/Roberto-Mancini-begs-Balotelli-quit-smoking-habit.html

What ? I won't get carried away considering it is the Sun, but if true... Those people are they really thinking he is good enough to earn £100k a week ? My God. Even those £70k a week we are said to offer him are too expensive. He should be on a £50k per week wage.

There is only people in the stand behind the goal that can head the ball when Bosingwa crosses.

Me too, was just ansewring to him.

Modric - £40m Hazard - £40m PS : I might be hasr when saying £25m, I think more in the £30/35m region.

You can't even imagine since I am here the number of this kind of thread

He had more or less the same ratio goal per game this year than last year at Bolton where he was a striker.

It isn't written on people's forehead if they're greedy or not.

Aw, no it is not my money. So, let's buy him for 200 million pound !!!

Okay. Because I thought that if he didn't even have a starting spot then the hypes on him would have been quite odd. Though I understand the situation. Would be an interesting signing for £25m, but no more.

Does he really think he is better than either Luiz or Terry ? Lmao. I am afraid his wage demand is quite high compared to his level..

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7401996/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Agree with you, he shouldn't earn more than £50m, otherwise he can fuck off.

Henrique, does he even have a starting spot in your national team ?

No need to open a new thread.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Pep Guardiola doesn't want him to necesseraly play in the midfield. Puyol is 34 next year, and Abidal 33. So they'll soon have only Piqué as CB..

For this money, we could buy two players better than him.

If this fact played a role in the loan, then it is a good omen. Josh seems to going to Bolton because of the relationship André/Coyle, too. So if from now on we send players to "friends" - à la Red Nose - we might have a better record with loans in the futur.

Personally, I always rated him highly. And I've never criticized him for that game against Villa - and as ulsterchelsea said, those criticisms were very harsh. To be frank, I even thought he had a good game. As for his lost challenge against Heskey, it is hard to win a force fight against someone who have the physic (and the weight) of a tractor when you are a 20 years old player.. Look, Lukaku managed to make Alex fall during a training session, it doesn't make Alex poor.
