That would be a very good deal for any team other than City. Getting a world class striker and cash is nothing to be sniffed at.
But City are rich as sin so they don't need the money Madrid are offering.
Makes him sound like a bit of an arrogant dick head.
I agree!
I don't post that often but I lurk and read posts all the time. I don't like the "stay away from the euro thread" sentiment. You guys are bigger than that! It's a thread on an international tournament which normally attracts "casual" fans, those who don't follow club football or necessarily understand every law of of the game, those who join for the mere idea of cheering their national team. It's expected to have people who don't understand the offside rule, or think that "pretty" football should be the only lawful way to play the game. The same thing happened in the WC2010 thread and will happen again in WC2014. It's funny, yeah, but also interesting and it shouldn't stop you guys from participating in the that thread. Do not hate. Educate.

You can thank the sagacious folks at Fox for the different cuts of BR. The theatrical version is the result of some Game Informer-esque second-guessing on the producers' part. Hell, Scott didn't even do the 1992 Director's Cut. No idea about the rest. Personally, I'm just glad David Giler or Walter Hill never got their greasy hands near it. What a bunch of cuts.
Also:
THANK YOU. The last act is a total drag. Goodfellas is reference quality, by comparison.
"This guy's saying, 'what do you want from me?'"

I think the problem is that they don't say 'wasn't that offside?' or 'why do England play defensive football?'. It's always 'that was offside', 'England play shit football'. The amount of people still claiming that Ukraine were robbed is mind boggling. But I'd love to see a lot more fans of different clubs in here, I love the different chat

Indeed it does. I hope for AVB's sake (and Tottenham's) that it's a misquote.
So Footy-Gaf, West Ham have signed Diame from Wigan. Does anyone know much about him? I seem to recall reading that Liverpool were interested.
re Director's cuts: I once bought the DC of Mel Gibson's Payback. Oh man, I had no idea what I was in for.

Not sure. But I really wanted to suck all the fucks that Maggie Gyllenhaal would give in that movie. Shame she didn't age well.
I like Diame, Wigan had a potentially fantastic midfield. Surprised he's gone West Ham though. I think they'll finish about Wigan next year but not enough to say its a definite definite step up.
The Guardian are reporting that AVB is upset that Levy is talking to other candidates and could rule himself out if it continues.
*crosses fingers*
They also say he understands Modric will be sold to Real Madrid.
Edit: I see it's already been mentioned.

Might have missed it but did you say who you want? Blanc?
Also Modric would be wasted at Madrid if Khedira and Alonso are starters. Would be a silly buy, especially with Sahin still there.
Blanc would be my first choice, but as long it's not AVB I don't really care.
I don't get why Madrid want Modric if it's true. Where would he play?
Edit: Unless they move Ozil to the wing which Mou tried a couple of times last season.

Sebastian Schweinsteiger is a much cooler name. Like an Anglo-German aristocrat.
Yahoo Sports section speculates that Bayern may use Arjen Robben to get Dzeko.

Damn, that'd be hot. City would totally turn into a kingdom of evil to me
/Kicker preview: "What's going to happen to Großkreutz?"
GK: "I'm open to everything?" Wtf, GK...you so silly :O
Bayern never swaps players. I dont get it the transfer rumours are all over the place this season Dzeko? sure, droppin 40m on Javy? why not, Pep would like him... it's crazy.

hehe but City isnt that dumb.
Juve might make a good fit though. But who am i kidding, we are stuck with him.Didnt Watzke already say that they want to extend him?
Rodgers should ring up his best mate Jose and ask for Sahin.
Fixed for realism
lol. never thought I would read that again.
it's not only this season. bayern, like juve and city is linked with nearly half of the human population. I don't believe any of these rumours when it comes to bayern.Bayern never swaps players. I dont get it the transfer rumours are all over the place this season Dzeko? sure, droppin 40m on Javy? why not, Pep would like him... it's crazy.

the only confirmation I need is when they officially announce it on the homepage
Not really.
Scarface is boring me. Pacino's performance is great but the films just meandering through clichès at the moment.

^ The final scene makes up for it.
Yeah, something along those lines. Maybe he's not talking about a transfer, but rather about the fact that he's ok with being employed out of position if needed just to be able to play for Dortmund, answering a question along the lines of: "now that Dortmund signed Reus are you afraid to be benched?". We'll see.

Nooooo
But he has the chance to play alongside Cleverley.
And yeah, that's how I feel about the film.

Yeah everything in Scarface has been referenced tons of times in games (especially GTA: Vice City!)
Think the film is overrated, Pacino is very good though. Everyone here has seen the Godfather right????!

All I have in this world are balls and my word, and I don't break either man.
but scarface is the mother of the cliches.
that movie basically invented all those cliches
Then it is to blame for the cliches.
I just think its overlong, melodramatic, poorly acted apart from Pacino... looks nice though, and a few great scenes.

What they say about Xhaka? Is he missing the Olympics to do pre-season with Gladbach?

People have a go at Prometheus for characters acting stupid, sheesh.
Aye, I'm glad it's not just me who thinks the acting's a bit shit. Very obvious performances. And just because it invented the clichès doesn't make it any less tedious of you're watching it after the fact.
Gladbach still hasnt reached an understanding with the Swiss Football Federation. He might have to go!

That's what Gladbach wants:
"Xhaka threatened by Olympics - abstinence not yet official"
"The Swiss federation and Gladbach didn't agree...*can't decipher the rest*"

Reminds me of Messi situation in 2008. He wanted to go to the Olympics, Argentina wanted him to go, Barca said no, Pep said yes, he ended up going and winning.
