This Euro Supercup must be the biggest score in years. Wow.....

Falcao is just such a cool player and weird transfer, ATL Madrid paid 40 million euros for him (!!!) from FC Porto, and now he must be worth at least 50 million. Incredible guess by the Madrid staff but glad to see it pays off.

IIRC Falcao has some sort of third party involvement over his registration?

And with the window closing in about 45 mins, I must say, Swansea had the best transfer deals in the EPL.... they just might finish in top 4 :O

Wiki doesn't say anything about that? Just that his contract at Porto had a 45 million buy-out clausule, nothing more.

Also, apparently Aston Villa paid 12 million EUR for Benteke, a striker from Racing Genk..... Let me assure you, that's too much money, dumbasses. Way too much money, really, he only played about 15 good matches in his career, sure he's young and Belgian, but 12 million is really a joke..... Dumb move

It wasn't a guess he scored like 50 goals in the portuguese league.
50.
5-0.

I didn't know that, that explains a bit.

Also, apparently Fulham might buy the best player in our line-up tonight, for a mere 5/6 million GBP..... If that's true, I swear I'm going to cry. This is so frustrating.... All our rivals hit the jackpot when they sell mediocre players, now we sell our best player and we only get this.

Liverpool are dreadfully run. There's no football intelligence at the boardroom level and that only harms the manager.

I think I'm starting to feel sorry for Brendan Rodgers. Even though he's a prick.

I agree with this.... I mean, we should have invested more into a top class striker or two after we got Allen. Our midfield is enough already,seeing how much shelvey has improved... but we really lack a finisher,which I thought Suarez would be this season. A lot of people are saying that we missed out on Dempsey, but I don't think we really needed him... he's kinda old. And looking at the transfer window, there really wasn't a lot of quality strikers up for sale.

Haha nice, you really coming? Hey fine by me, if we meet up I'll buy you a beer :) It's too bad I still live with my parents else I could just take you in for the night so you wouldn't have to pay a hotel for that one night.
Essien to Real Madrid.
Lloris to Spurs.

NASTASIC AND JAVI GARCIA TO CITY!!!!!!
Read in the press that Mancini isn't happy. He 'didn't get the players he asked for'....

Haha, thanks! Any suggestions for places to go? We're going on Wednesday and coming back on Saturday. I can speak a bit of French, will that get me by? Have difficulty in some countries because I've got a nut allergy, so it's sometimes tricky with a language barrier and unfamiliar cuisine. Places like India and China are pretty much no-go because of the multiple ingredients and lack of awareness of it, but from what I remember from going decades ago it's quite simple tasty stuff over there (me and the girlfriend go to this seafood place all the time that does awesome moules frites).

Looking forward to the beer as well!
