petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Ridiculously overpriced though. Porto just announced to the stock exchange to have received €30.5m for 56.7% of Mangala's rights so in total City paid around €54m for Mangala.That equals almost 43 million pounds. Porto = €30.5mDoyen Sports = €17.8mStandard de Liege = €5.4mThat's €53.7m (£43m) for Mangala. wow Reddish-Blue and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said Luiz's price tag was too much. LOL! The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Liverpool are after Eto'o. They really didnt prepare for the day after Suarez. Sanchez, Falcao, Bony, Remy and now Eto'o. Fernando and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham is a different type of striker than Bamford tho, and offers something different, if that's what you were thinking.

Epikur 34 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm not worried about United at all. Rooney has been horrible of late, as has Van Persie, who is also turning 32 and getting on a bit. Those two are no comparison to Suarez and Sturridge last year. Plus Liverpool had Gerrard bossing the midfield with Sterling, Henderson and Coutinho running riot. They had a formidable attack with the occasional defender in Skrtel floating forward and netting a few. United are still at least two elite players from competiting for the title.

Epikur 34 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 scouse alertPlease. Liverpool's attack were undoubtedly good last season and almost won them the title. It's fine to acknowledge that. My comment is merely highlighting the fact United won't be title competitors this season as they have half the attack Liverpool had, who even fell short themselves. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool reminds me of the phoenix suns, offense at the expense of defense. I would bet United finishing ahead of liverpool this season. Liverpool are doing exactly what the spurs did to replace bale.....Replace their star man with uncertainties. Viper22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Milan is prepared to sell De Sciglio to get money for RW. I think De Sciglio would be great backup to Luis and eventual replacement too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
