Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[KevinGage]

At least we won't be getting Bendtner: http://www.thesportbible.com/articles/nicklas-bendtner-s-demands-for-a-move-to-eintracht-frankfurt-are-astonishing

A quick calculation of that means if they were to get  50 points, he'd pocket an extra £1.5 million.   Which is not nothing, but not barking mad by usual football standards.  Didn't Eintracht get relegated a few years ago too?  They got 36 last season. So they'd be doing well to get 50 points. 

Based on last seasons finish, he'd get just over £1 million as a bonus. 

Also, If that was his/ his agents opening suggestion, it's possible Eintracht might have been able to come back with a counter offer.  £20,000 per point based on last season would be £720k

I really didn't realise there would be bonuses based on the amount of points. Goals yes, but points? shit me.

That story with Bendtner is not quite accurate according to the press over here.

That deal was what was OFFERED by Frankfurt and rejected by Bendtner / his agent, thinking he could get a better deal over here.
A deal by the way, that would have made him the best paid player in their history by a good 50% if they'd hit 40 points according to the Danish press and significantly better than his last deal at Arsenal.

Nothing happened, so they we went back to Frankfurt, just as the cock socket posted this  poolside picture on Instagram.

Frankfurt politely suggested that he fucked off and didn't come back.

What happened to our interest in Hoolahan ?

What happened to our interest in trying to compete in the PL?

Martin O'Neill had it and fecked it up.

And Lerner gave up.

This thread is pretty depressing but punctuated with the odd light moment of humour. A bit like marriage.

Watch Salih Ucan playing for Roma tonight. Ex-Fenerbache on loan.  They talk very highly of him, out here, as a future Turkish star..only 21.  Just in passing. The new Alf!

You're great at finding the clouds to go with the silver lining, is there anything you don't find depressing?  Does your real name happen to be Marvin?

The Danish doctor prescribes 40mg citalopram and 30mg of cymbalta per day.

you mean in a male same sex relationship kind of way? I don't think my wife has them, at least not the last time I looked.

Can we cut out the sexist comments and get back to the football please

Back on planet earth,  I have come round to the idea that we may not need investing in a new striker.  Starting the season with Bent (who seems sharper so far in pre-season and may have a reason to play for his place/future), plus Weimann and Gabby should be enough to cover before Benteke and Kozak return.

[cdbearsfan]

We looked shockingly toothless in the closing stages of the season. We need a forward, at least on loan. Bent isn't the Bent of five years ago. Weimann and Agbonlahor are never going to be out and out goalscorers.
