He won't. It was a bad transfer - somebody think they saw the next Alves in him, I don't even count on him as backup. It's scary really, that we have to rely on him as backup. And I don't think we'll be able to sell him either. He'll be another Song, Hleb, Montoya, Douglas - loan after loan...
I wouldn't mind if he goes to Celta on a loan, but it depends on how we end up with Arda. If Arda stays, I don't see how Rafinha would get any minutes - especially now that we got D.Suarez and Gomes.
Dude, what? Both Tello and Montoya do actually suck. Tello is a kick and run player and Montoya can't pass, can't dribble, can't even run with the ball fast without losing it.
Arda is something completely different, many are frustrated he wasn't Iniesta-'light'. He's been alright, but looks...
What career? At least now he's a 'sub' in Barca and not in some second division club lol. He is waiting for his citizenship and might never play profesionally again :lol:
The guy responsible for that ridiculous fee, the guy (or woman) who negotiated that fee - sign him, sign him! We need somebody like that, he could probably sell Tello for 35M, Douglas for 20M. Lol, wtf Juve - is this really for real????
As backups to MSN and better than Munir? Yeah, some 50 players of which we can get maybe 20 to sign for us that would not cost more than 25M. Just get it done, we should have scouted a plan A, B, C, D, E, F, G and so on long time ago...
Cry me a river... If he'd move his ass during the games in Barca and Turkey than maybe we could have some hope, but he just looks like he doesn't want to play football anymore - we really should try to offload him asap.
?
Gomes is a box-box CM, Arda has been sucking and is way to slow to play on the wings, Roberto will be our first choice RB of course, Vidal haha, Munir has lots and lots to prove before we can count on him to be a backup against division 5 teams in Copa. D. Suarez is probably our best bet on...
There would be money if we used our head in maybe half of our transfers, but we keep buying 29'ish year old backup players for 20, 30 or 40M that are not good enough or not a match for us. Maybe there would be some money if we got ride of the dead wood on the payroll and got at least half back...
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
