LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Quote Spain vs Barcelona FC re tax In Feb 2014 Judge Pablo Ruz charged Barca with "an infringement against the tax authority." Barca allegedly committed tax fraud claiming the transfer fee was €57.1m, later admitting this was €86.2m. Barca director Raul Sanllehi stated the transfer on its own had cost €57.1m including €17.1m to Santos and €40m as a "compensation fee" paid to the company owned by Neymar's parents. He also detailed other payments around the transfer such as a signing bonus of €10m and various other fees paid to the family that took the total cost to €86.2m. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/3otpdn/a_guide_to_neymars_transfer_ensuing_legal_battles/ Maybe, maybe not.. chelseafan26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that he played as a CB in 16 games, including Tottenham (45 minutes), Sporting in a CL (full game), Liverpool (full game), Manchester City (full game), Everton (full game) and other weaker oppositions. Iheanacho joined City after his 18th Birthday. Before that he was only on trial and had pre-agreement. As per FIFA Regulations: International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/administration/regulations_on_the_status_and_transfer_of_players_en_33410.pdf Same situation as Traore. My bad about Iheanacho. Fair enough about Traore. Iheanacho and traore seem to be the same situation. Thats why I dont use Traore in the list of Zouma, Kenedy, Baba multi million buy list. Despite having nothing to play for since December, traore has 380 senior minutes while Iheanacho has about 1000 minutes. While pelegrini is using Iheanacho ahead of bony, jose had the likes of falcao and remy ahead of traore. WHy? (lets not take the argument to gus, because in all honesty, i think he has done a worse job than Jose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Simeone for me is like Mourinho 2004/2007. It is fair to say that this Mourinho was never the same since he cameback for the 2nd time. Would have loved Simeone instead of Conte but fair play to the guy. Atletico looks like his real home. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City away, 1:0, imo. But how high up the pitch Atleti pressed in the first half, Mourinho sets up differently. His second game against Atleti, got the goal, hit the post, damn it. Their combinations are unbelievably good, quite sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can bet everything I own that in a case where we had matic, cesc, mikel injured, Jose would have started with Azpilicueta-zouma as a midfield pairing or even Oscar as a DM than give a shot to RLC. That would have been the ultimate Jose thing to do. Ok I'll bite. As alreeady said Iheanacho came on and didn't start, and furthermore Hiddink started Kenedy and brought on Traore (ahead of the experienced Remy) vs PSG and you're constantly slating his youth selection. But why I initially brought up Greenie and Ihea s that he hasn't given him that many more mins if more atall than Kenedy especially has got this season. And re Jose, along with the previous examples already given by @pHaRaOn didn't he bring on Scott Sinclair in the CL semi at Anfield? I might be getting that mixed up with title decider vs Arsenal days later bit either way, both were extremely high pressured games for a 17 year old to make his debut.

His time in Spain was really a turning point I think. His internal battles with the Real board and players as well as external spats with Barcelona really drove him mad. At Real his Barcelona obsession was damaging, in Italy and England pre-2006 was inspiring. In hindsight it was always an implosion waiting to happen. No fans can be blame for getting caught up in the excitement but the writing was on the wall.. Early into the Cech saga I told @Kieran. that this issue was the first crack in the wall and cracks only get wider. It was a crack in Mourinho. Now he's hungry, he'll probably go great things at his next club but who knows if he's ready to change the way he will. Can't imagine him lasting too long at United if he picks a battle with Charlton and co. Fernando and Kieran. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenedy is the only kid I was only impressed during this season. RLC looks meh, and Traore lacks intensity. As soon as he was introduced in that PSG game, our team lost all attacking power and our chances were dead in that moment. 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, to be fair to traore, everyone except for Diego was pathetic on the day. I would not blame traore for the lack of intensity. I would blame the "leaders" on the pitch for that. RLC has been very impressive for me. His performance against CIty was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raven8472 32 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 If the inevitable does happen and Jose goes to united i will take the Jose line on lampard joining City. "Frank Lampard is a Manchester City player, When he decided to go to a direct competitor then love stories are over." Guess no time for sentiment/love when hes trying to dismantle your season from the Red Devil side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
