Rumoured Maicon

So, Metro says 80k per week. Nice, I guess this is pretty much a done deal...

Not bad. I believe he earns around £120k a week at Inter Milan, unless they gave him a lower-paying contract at some point that I'm unaware of!

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

£6 million + £80k per week is very good.

Very happy with it if true.

He took a pay cut? I'm pretty sure he was earning more at Inter.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was earning more. I believe we'll know more shortly, I expect the deal to be completed soon. But yeah, 6mil and 80k per week...great one.

[gary gordon 1,777]

This could turn out to be a very good signing for us.

So this is for real?

I thought it was all media BS!

Still waiting for Henrique to give his final verdict on his country man!

If true, it would be yet another good piece of business by the board. I'm shocked!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Brilliant deal. Our board keep surprising us with great deals. Great price for him and pretty good wages. He would be a great option at RB or cover for Ivanovic. It depends on how much RDM likes him. I think he'll be playing RB more than most people suspect but I'm fine with that. Ivanovic will play about 60-70% of the games. I honestly don't know how anyone could not want him. We are in the market for a Backup RB who is content with sharing that spot. Maicon is perfect for this role. So excited that we are building what looks to be a title winning side. Anyone who thinks we won't at least challenge is kidding themselves. Our back 4 is very solid. Not many better going around.

[Badboy 1,526]

His age is a little worrying but if he's a 3 year stop gap then its fine I guess because despite his age he's still one of the best around.

[Kojo 4,676]

I think it's a good deal, much better than having Bosingwa. And he is an entertaining fulback, he can play right wing for us when needed be also.

Nice to see some people have sense

Now we can deploy a even better cattenacio style on Barcelona, Bayern, Real Madrid!

Cech

Cahill - Terry - David Luiz

Ivan - Ramires - Mikel - Lampard - Cole

Maicon - Torres

After we've made the signings we're likely to make we're probably not going to play anwhere near as defensive against the likes of Bayern and Madrid. We will keep our attacking players, play football and take the game to them. We would trouble them as much as they would trouble us. For Barcelona we will go conservative but nowhere near to the extent your team lineup suggests. We'll have the players to take it to them, to an extent. Look at Milan's game vs Barcelona. They kept thier attacking players, were well oragnised defensively but also played good going forward and could have gotten some goals. That's how I think we should and will play against Barcelona.

Geez Konohas, I think Justin was having a joke.
