ha ha ha

how soon would it all be forgiven

so, re:mina, looks like man u wants to pay up TODAY

demonrail666 · 08.07.2018, 11:34 AM

It's happened before where WH have signed a player I couldn't stand. I'll cheer if they score but I rarely warm to them, and needless to say they get zero slack if they start fucking up. If he comes he comes but I wouldn't be the least bit bothered if it all falls through.

Anyway, he's a Colombian who came back from a WC where he got sent off in one game and conceded a penalty in another. Shouldn't someone have assassinated him by now?

!@#$%! · 08.07.2018, 11:50 AM

haaa haaa haaa

possibly, but it’s much more peaceful country these days.

(or maybe he just didn’t go back home afterwards, lol)

i don’t have a lot of memories of him tbh. except disappointment looking at his little icon in my fantasy team.

mina though... well...

speaking of this stuff, i gotta check out who is getting transfered in & out of bundesliga. the last bayern newsletter was not too exciting about any great names...

!@#$%! · 08.07.2018, 11:55 AM

whoa, sokratis is leaving dortmund for arsenal. fuck!!

dortmund is bringing in the belgian axel witsel instead, from china. and a dane... who didn’t play in the world cup? dunno...

schurrle to fulham! batshuayi going back to chelsea!

fml

i feel like a rat fleeing a shinking ship

!@#$%! · 08.07.2018, 12:01 PM

as for bayern:

douglas costa sold to juve after the loan period
renato sanches back from england (will they keep him?)
VIDAL TO BARCELONA. oy!!

rummenige “hints at more midfield departures”

dannnggg...

(ok, apparently there are too many midfielders, which is true...)

but i don’t hear of any new/exciting arrivals. which is troubling for a big club like that.

God knows what's happening with that. Everton were close to getting him for ages. Utd started sniffing around but for some reason they're not getting it done.

For Barcelona to get 20 million profit from a player who played for them just 6 times is pretty impressive doing it must be said.

h8kurdt · 08.09.2018, 11:16 AM

How many players refused a move to Man Utd this window?!

!@#$%! · 08.09.2018, 11:21 AM

did boateng just refuse? cuz i was coming here to say they wanted boateng (psg also wants boateng)

—

holy shit you got mina. congrats.

lolol transfer window cray

h8kurdt · 08.09.2018, 11:29 AM

Yeah, I'm VERY cautious about the signings Everton have made. Refusing to get excited yet.

!@#$%! · 08.09.2018, 11:47 AM

i dont know mina tons but per the world cup he was solid defender and setpiece goalscorer, and barcelona would not have imported him if he sucked.

oh, looking at his page now, he was already in palmeiras when barça got. so, he’s got a solid record (sorry i posted something wrong here).

ps- yes he scored 6 goals for palmeiras in... gotta figure out how long, weird start/end times. ok it was about a year of play, 28 games, more than a year but not really as he was injured a while.

6 goals in 28 games for a centerback not shabby at all.

playing for colombia: 6 goals in 15 games haa haa haa. *as a centerback*

you’re allowed to be at least a little bit excited...

h8kurdt · 08.09.2018, 11:53 AM

My worry is his pace. Can't imagine him being the quickest of players. However, if we're winning games 4-3 I'll take that

However! Think West Ham did the best business the window. Suspect they're gonna get in the top 6 this season.

demonrail666 · 08.09.2018, 04:19 PM

It's been a decent window but we're still miles behind even the worst of the top 6. Tbh, given the past couple of seasons I'll be more than happy with a drama-free mid-table finish. Even my most idealistic longterm hopes are that we eventually become a consistent force in that tier just below the top 6 with some seasons even stretching to Europa qualification. But a consistent 7th-8th finish with the odd cup run is about the maximum a club like West Ham can realistically aspire to.

!@#$%! · 08.09.2018, 04:27 PM

i googled yerry mina speed and i dont think you have anything to fear

—

shaqiri went to liverpool?

oh....

demonrail666 · 08.09.2018, 06:57 PM

Mina's a great signing.

Zero signings for Spurs is a weird one.

h8kurdt · 08.10.2018, 06:21 AM

It's back!! Football is back. Sure my friends will lil me and remind me that the other leagues started last week BUT PREMIER LEAGUE IS BACK!!

How long we giving Mourinho before he's sacked off?

h8kurdt · 08.10.2018, 06:23 AM

And here's my hero summing it all up for us

_slavo_ · 08.10.2018, 07:29 AM

Barcelona has been sucking ass in transfer policy lately.
Selling Yerry Mina and buying that clown Vidal is a move I will never understand.

h8kurdt · 08.10.2018, 07:50 AM

Say what you like about Vidal but he'd be a nightmare to play against.

!@#$%! · 08.10.2018, 08:51 AM

i was wondering why bayern had sold vidal because he’s been great. here’s a reasonable explanation:

https://www.dw.com/en/bayern-munichs...ing/a-44958850

tldr; young talent coming in cheap

——

eta: also looks like boateng staying!

he did tell mourinho “no” and psg blocked by spending legalities

h8kurdt · 08.10.2018, 10:11 AM

Loved how many players refused to join him. Supposedly man utd bid €100 million for Varane and Real weren't having it.
