(Daily Mirror) It's late, and I'm tired, but I've read that one a few time's over and it still doesn't make sense... Real Madrid are set to top United's offer... With the Old Trafford outfit...? :? ...Or are Madrid going to top that offer? imnofreak wrote:Barcelona are prepared to let former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry leave the Nou Camp in the summer for about £12m as they look to sign midfielder Franck Ribery for £25m from Bayern Munich.

Quote:A.C. Milan have offered David Beckham £4 million per year to remain in Italy. Beckham appear's to have negotiated a £75,000 per week deal to stay at A.C. Milan. An agreement is also reported to have been reached on his image rights, and the Italian club will now launch a £4.35 million bid to sign him from Los Angeles Galaxy. Quote:Joe Kinnear has accused Charles N'Zogbia of living "In a fantasy world." after the mid-fielder criticized the Newcastle boss' managerial style. Quote:Andrei Arshavin has been told he will not have to report for International duty this week-end, clearing the way for him to make his Arsenal debut in Sunday's north London derby. However, the Russia star has played down his chances of playing against Tottenham, saying that he is not match fit. Quote:Arsenal new boy Andrei Arshavin is set to write a book about the tortuous transfer saga - the fourth tome written by the Russia star.
The budding Dostoyevsky will reveal all in writing after refusing to give lengthy interviews about his eight-month struggle to leave Zenit St. Petersburg, according to reports in Russia.

Quote:Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has admitted there is "War." at Anfield.
The Spain International fear's that Manager Rafa Benitez's continued contract row with American Co-Owner's George Gillett and Tom Hicks may destabilise the Reds' tilt at the Barclays Premier League title.

Now I wonder who that could be. I'd bet my house it was Ronaldo. Gotta say N'Zogbia isn't the only person who thinks Kinnear's managerial style is a joke.

Quote:Liverpool bought Keane for £20.3m (which was inclusive of add-ons they will not have had to pay - so the figure was nearer £18m), yet have sold him for £12m (with add-ons to follow, including a substantial fee for Premiership survival, taking the fee to £15.5m) - so instead of portraying the actual loss on the player more than likely being around £2.5m, the press are reporting of it being an £8m loss, which is wide of the mark. I cahllenge ANYBODY to find the fucking figures for taht, I've spent about two hours looking and can't even find the report to the English stock exchange. I want to know how much money we don't have we actually lost on the Keane transfer so I can send the bill to the americans. Re: Carlos Fernandez; he's still playing in Venezuela so I'm not sure exactly how good he is...

Good on Rooney, I hate it how people are quick to say that rich people waste their money and that they should donate more to charity. I read somewhere possibly even in 442 that Robinho qued for half an hour to get 50% off his purchases although they were alot higher than Rooneys but still

Mostr transfrs consist largely of add ons and bonuses, at the moment your clubs loss stands at 8 million pounds. Jog on. Incorrect if you look at the details. Liverpools bonuses to be paid to Spurs would've been based on performance over a season e.g. Liverpool winning titles (which Keane will not be there to do), performing better in the league(once again Keane will not be there for the second half of the season so this won't apply) and most notably Keanes individual performances like assists and goals scored which haven't been great so i think we can rule them all out. This leave a basic fee of 18m pounds. Sold for a basic 12m back to spurs the pottential maximum loss is 6m, but include into that add-ons that may have to be paid. Add ons like Keanes performance (Should be designated pk taker and Spurs number one striker so should manage a few more goals) tick, Spurs avoiding relegation which no doubt is a big one(tick!) and then Spurs progress over the next year or so which should happen considering they're in the sh!t now and have a decent backing(tick). All in all its not gonna cost that much.

Why would you bother to save yourself less than $15?? That would only buy you maybe one drink. It's not worth it.

Here's the thing - maybe Rooney's not actually getting 90k/week. Considering his previous form, perhaps Colleen gives him an allowance and never lets him take too much out with him just in case he decides to go for some 'alternative' form of evening out.

Those are the stupidest rumours I've ever heard.
He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.
