[Preezy]

I see. Tis the season I suppose

[Mr Luke]

I like the material on the current England kits, it's a bit different and feels good. That said, I've never ran around in one so don't know what it would be like for the whole sweaty skin/keeping cool situation.

Toure deal to PL team not as done and dusted as was made out...

...article has quotes from his agent

Yaya Touré could be offered as bait in Cesc Fábregas Barcelona deal

• Touré's agent: 'Wenger likes him and Arsenal are interested'
• Barça officials increase pressure on Arsenal to sell Fábregas

Sounds like someone didn't get offered the deal they wanted

[Spindash]

Spanish papers generally agree that City had agreed a deal with Toure, but when it comes to agreeing a fee with Barcelona there's a difference of €15m.

But then Toure's agent has revealed himself to be a bit of a pillock who likes the sound of his own voice, like most of them. So who knows what's happening.

Here he is:

Everything has changed with City, because they talk a lot but then afterwards they don't appear to be a rich club but rather a bankrupt one.

Which probably means:

I thought City were getting me the big bucks, mayne!

Rafa to be confirmed as Inter Boss today.

If he's a success at Inter, it would clearly underline that the owners of Liverpool where the problem and Rafa wasn't.

[Zartan]

Not quite as dry cut as that, Inter have dominated the Italian League for the past few years, so anything less than another title will be seen as a failure. Also if they do win it, he will do it with Mourinhos team. Fair play to Rafa though he has taken a tough role, it is going to be next to impossible to follow Mourinho's treble.

To be fair, the team he inherits at Inter are the best in Europe and Italy. He has to succeed.

So I could be right?

[Saint of Killers]

Right about what? Agents being graspy, chancing bastards? Yeah, you're right about that.

Losing 1-0. Take off Diego Milito.

About Toure ending at Arsenal.

[Saint of Killers]

Preezy. Ta for making those, was a feeling too lazy to do 'em myself.

About Toure ending at Arsenal.

I know, was only messing ;> Is he out of contract at Barca, or just out of favour? Bonkers for him to leave imo.

[Preezy]

:lol: Preezy. Ta for making those, was a feeling too lazy to do 'em myself.

It was a pleasure

[Kanbei]

Brilliant Preezy

Favour's the main factor, he's spent nearly all season on the bench

[Spindash]

Martin Petrov, Sylvinho and Benjani are senior players who will leave City this summer.

Petrov

No surprise - too injury prone to warrant a new deal and he's slipped behind Johnson/Bellamy anyway - but he'll be a cracking free signing for someone.

Everton please. He'd fit into the team perfectly. Too bad we probably won't be able to afford his wages
