Okay, so those players mentioned (Pogba aside) would add depth, but they are not going to significantly increase the quality of our squad? We made a shit-load of signings last summer. Some of them great, some not so. By and large it was a great transfer window for us, and we witnessed the...

re: Zidane in 2006 WC. Although France had many excellent individuals, they weren't functioning as a team as you'd expect. Much like todays Argentina. Remember, they did have a cabbage of a manager in Domenech. I remember his match vs Brazil as one the best individual performances I have ever...

I don't you'd find one culé that would swap a 'Prime Iniesta' for a 'Prime Zidane'. Okay, maybe one, there's always one. :D But ask the reverse question: How man Madridistas would swap Zidane for Iniesta? I think there would be more in Iniesta's favour. That is the mark of the man. Dat touch...

That thug! :rofl1: Sport aiming for the 'Troll of the Year' award it seems. :troll:

I don't have a problem with a very wealthy individual investing vast sums of cash into a club, as long as that money isn't a loan, meaning he can call in the debt at any time. That's when a club can run in to perilous financial trouble.

Dimitri Payet signs for West Ham United on a Five-Year contract.

We all know the point Jombi is making. Don't get side-tracked with the Fontas debate. Everyone knows we are shite when it comes to getting a fair price for one of our players. It's scandalous really. :shakeshead:

+1 Thank you!

Either that, or he wants to drive the price up over €100m. :zubi:

Bayern Munchen - 2015/16 Bundesliga Champions Congratulations! :smile160:

They are only worthwhile if a club decides to activate them. Is it likely that we will activate the buy-back within the 3 years of his Everton contract? I'd predict no. Make no mistake; Everton are the real winners here.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that deal. Are you sure that's how it went down? Because that implies that he played for, or was registered with 3 different clubs in one season, which isn't permitted.

It's a protection mechanism so we don't get screwed over by the selling club. Of course, the player has no obligation to re-sign.

*Irony oversight" Martinez should be a good match for him. As previously mentioned, the tough love approach is not the way to go. A good club like Everton is a good fit for his development and I expect him to mature into a rounded footballer over the coming seasons... by which time we'll...

Is it April 1st? :unsure:

IIRC he made the second highest number of tackles in the EPL last season, after Matic. :okay: Excellent signing indeed. Edit: Looks like Wenger means business this season.

How much groundwork could actually be done that early, besides: "Would you like to come to Barcelona"? and "How does €'x' salary sound"? You wouldn't want to make an enemy of Juventus with overzealous tactics. +1 You'd think he would be a long term 'replacement' for Iniesta after the 2016/17...
