Neymars instagram and twitter: http://instagram.com/p/ZwXvcIxtnX/# Google translated: I'm Here reunited with friends and family and they have helped me to write a few things here ... It's not going to hold out until Monday ... My family and friends already know my decision. Monday I sign a contract with Barcelona. I want to thank the fans of Santos by these incredible nine years. My feeling for the club and the fans will never change. It is eternal! Only a club like Santos FC could give me everything I have lived on and off the field. I thank the wonderful fans who supported me fish even in the most difficult moments. Titles, goals, dribbling, celebrations and songs that fans created for me will be forever in my heart ... I made sure to play the match tomorrow in Brasilia. I want to have the opportunity to once again take the field with the "mantle" and hear the crowd scream my name ... as the hymn says, "it is an honor that not everyone can have ..." It is a different time for me, sad (farewell) and cheerful (new challenge). May God bless me in my choices ... And I'm always in Santos! # Toiss Nothing new but words from the man himself confirming it.

These three always pop into my mind when this question is raised (Mind you, there are also others). Hard to choose one. I particularly enjoy watching intelligent players, so Zizou possibly edges it for me .

Was just gonna post that , it insinuates we'd go after Varane, I'd love to have him here! But no way do I want David Luiz gone. Nor do I think he'll leave, just more DM rubbish probably.

TBH a lot Madrid fans seem upset, but some agree it's the right time to move on. Either way don't the Spanish media fool you, most Madrid fans will always have a place for him in there heart.

Lukaku's hat-trick stopped Man Utd from equalling the 29 wins record set by Jose's Chelsea

Hats off to Juan. He tops of his already fantastic season with 20 goals in all competitions, the first time he's done that. Not to mention his huge tally of 30+ assists, :blue scalf:

Lol Hazards a funny guy. Thorgan also plays for Zulte Waregem, huge game today!

Just remarkable. Adidas's promotions and kit designs are the best in the business right now.

Ribery has been immense today.

Great dilemma we have here. Their stats are very similar and to even compare the two at this age is testament to Courtiois quality. I'll count on Mourinho to make the right choice. He's watched Courtois first hand this season and if anybody has shown bottle in making big decisions with keepers, it's Mourinho. That said I can't see Cech dropped any time soon unless his long term injury really starts affecting him.

I know what your trying to infer and its ridiculous tbh. Every team he's been too his squad has been willing to go to 'war for him', they all still speak of him so highly. Its obvious the Madrid players ego's are huge, as is their player power (particularly Casillas's, once he turned on Jose it wasn't long until squad divisions rose.) If you think that his tenure at Madrid illustrates some sort of a flaw his man management than your simply mistaken.

Great post.

Unfortunately, he has been pretty awful today (so far).

That's the rumor and it would be a steal if true. Levurkusen and their general manager were angered by Heynckes who basically brought Bayerns pursuit of him into the public eye. Nonetheless, surprisingly I don't think the clause was increased so the apparent 12-15 mill release clause generally seems to be a consensus (not to say it wasn't increased however, to many unknowns).

Over at the Daniele De Rossi thread and thought about Lars Bender. Surprised there's no topic on him. He could be perfect for us. 24 years old and has begun to establish himself into Germany's international team. His release clause is apparently around 12 mill so it's practically the same figure being touted for De Rossi!

What about one of Lars Bender or Sven Bender. Both aged 24 (being twins ) but my preference would be Lars. His release clause is 12 million and I the more think about it the more I'd love for it to happen. Still you can't say no to De Rossi and I'd take him in a heartbeat.

FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

José Mourinho had £100,000 of jewellery stolen from hotel room The guy was an Arsenal fan, only way they can get their hands on silverware nowadays I guess .

Essiens foundations game of hope:
