IMO he'd be worth €40m+ if the deal was structured around performance-related bonuses. eg €20m, plus €10m if he plays a certain % of our games this season, then another €10m if he does the same over three years, then €5m if we reach another Champions League final. Maybe even put in a clause...

Problem with the Boyd/Magennis situation is that, as you say, we can't carry Boyd hoping that he scores, so Magennis fits the system better, but Magennis can't finish, whereas Boyd can. So it's a Catch-22, where if we play Magennis we'll probably get more chances, but he can't finish them. Boyd...

:lol::lol: Last days of the mercato Tancredi is the best Tancredi. I remember last year he spent deadline day saying Falcao was going to Juventus, Man City, Man United and Chelsea... then when he went to Man U claimed he was first with the news :lol: Btw, my sources tell me Juventus will sign...

@Cronios now it's official, what do you think?

I love that less than 10 years ago we were in Serie B, now we're arguing over whether winning Serie A is TOO easy :smile: FWIW, a strong Serie A definitely helps us. The ideal situation is we win the league every year, but it's close and exciting, and other Italian clubs do well in Europe, but...

RE: Mourinho and his medical staff Did anyone see that POS Adam Digby getting schooled on Twitter? He said something about how no British journos will ask Mourinho questions, and some of them were basically ripping him, saying he's never been at a press conference etc... Some of them did...

Even if you played DM many times and are very good at tackling, pretty unlikely you played against someone as good at dribbling as Messi is. We were caught on the counter, allowing him to get into a stride with the ball, which is going to be trouble for any defender. Watch the video, slow it...

'Cos it's that easy... I actually broadly agree with you, but Messi does those little changes of direction so well that it can make even the best defenders look daft. The little drop of his shoulder put Barza off balance, making his tackle attempt look ridiculous, though not as ridiculous as...

As expected really. Aberdeen weren't at their best, but still comfortably the better side. Killie looked slow and unfit, no excuse when Aberdeen had a midweek game. The Dons were in second gear for most of it, but never any doubt about which team would win.

There are good reasons to justify signing Vazquez, that's as true today as it was yesterday. The difference between yesterday and today is that Palermo have come out and said they don't want to sell him. They would sell him if we offered enough, but that statement ensures we'd have to pay a...

Scotland and England have separate international football teams (as do Wales and Northern Ireland) and have always maintained separate domestic leagues. The first ever international fixture was between England and Scotland, so since (literally) the birth of football the two have been separate.

Even if it goes ET and penalties on Thursday, I think you'd have enough to beat Killie. I'm a season ticket holder, and the Dundee game was 4-0 going on 10-0. Haven't seen Hamilton yet, County looked ok at Celtic Park, think it's 2 from Accies, County and Killie for the bottom 2.

I can confidently predict that Aberdeen will give Kilmarnock an absolute thrashing at the weekend. Why we gave Gary Locke a three-year contract I will never know...

Maybe you could have won it last year, Arturo, if you didn't spend the first 25 minutes of the final going mental...

Scenes when he comes back in with €14m tomorrow...

€15m :lol2: Absolute king of the trolls!

Personally, I think Marotta (and Paratici and the rest of the board) have earned our trust over the past few seasons. So yeah, I find the Vidal deal a bit strange. Would I have sold him for that price? No. But there's a reason Marotta has that job and I don't. We've won four Scudetti in a row...

Think about this: The board realised we're ridiculously dominant in Serie A, but also that our squad which reached the Champions League final was on the older side. They see that CL final as the end of the cycle which started with Conte. We get rid of Tevez (31), Pirlo (36), Vidal (28) and...

How about we all just calm down, see who comes in, then see how the team does? Remember the meltdown when Allegri came in? Marotta, Paratici and Nedved know what they're doing. I love Vidal, but people spent half of last season saying he'll never recover from his knee injury. Selling him for...
