carltb Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 man city will soon have a team than man u are scared of playing IN YOUR DREAMS MATE!!!!!! Quote
Crispy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 In Beckham and Zidane's case the transfer fee was repayed before they had kicked a ball by all the shirt sales in the off season! Which just goes to show how chronically stupid the general public are. I've met kids in Cambodia begging for a dollar so they can eat for the day. I can only hope that we live in the alternate universe where someone actually made that stupid decision a few years ago. Otherwise we, as a civilisation, are sick. Quote
mondeoman Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Bring him on!! It's worth £100 million "plus" just to hear all the Liverpool / Man United / Chelsea / Arsenal "fans" start squealing!Not that I'm biased ............much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
braddels Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 man city will soon have a team than man u are scared of playing IN YOUR DREAMS MATE!!!!!! not in my dreams in reality. man city will just buy every player man u, chlesea, liverpool and aresenal will look for, they will buy all the big names. personally, i think in 3years time man city will be a potential top 4 team if they keep buying how they are and who they are. i don't want football to turn into a money game beacuse in the end its us who pay the wages when we go to a match. a season ticket for me at west ham would cost me £700ish as a student next season that will go up and up and up, £35 per match as a single ticket, ok its not a huge amount but still for 90mins its quite expensive Quote
Siimon Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 man city will soon have a team than man u are scared of playing IN YOUR DREAMS MATE!!!!!! Man Utd are already scared of playing City, well they should be. Pretty much every game where City and Utd play each other it's very close, and in recent times haven't City won more often that Utd? Just think, if City can sign 5 or 6 world class players, Utd won't stand a chance! Quote

Just think, if City can sign 5 or 6 world class players, Utd won't stand a chance! doubt that very much, there is always tension but world class players don't mean sh*t. their hearts aren't going to be in the game, like it was said earlier, kaka is sure to become a worse (and more frustrated player) playing at city. if city bought loads of top players at once, then he wouldn't actually think "why am i playing with these mere mortals" but at the moment, city aren't exactly playing great, they almost a inconsistent as chelsea Quote
Siimon Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Agreed that Man City are doing pretty badly at the moment, but what did people honestly expect? It's going to be an uphill struggle for them that will take a couple of seasons to get to the top. The you have a new owner with billions means jack if you don't spend it, and they only have 1 new signing so far. Once they start to get a good team and gel together they'll be up there IMO. Quote
Sammy1599968740 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Report Posted January 17, 2009 are braddels and apprentice doing GCSE business studies by any chance?? All very valid points made. particularly agreeing with anything.. Hope to hell he doesnt go purely because it'll underline how greedy footballers are. he'd be going for the money and not for the prestige of playing for a top club.. i mean.. why would you go to manchester anyway?? i think even i'd go for 500k a week.

Siimon Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Nope, Law and Psychology... taking Business in college though To be honest, everyone's getting really worked up about how the players are only coming for the money and how top players lack passion, but, who cares? On the weekends I love to see fast paced high quality football on Match of the Day. For the international team it's a whole different story, it needs passion and the drive to do well just because you want to... Quote

Bbug Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 Which just goes to show how chronically stupid the general public are. I've met kids in Cambodia begging for a dollar so they can eat for the day. I can only hope that we live in the alternate universe where someone actually made that stupid decision a few years ago. Otherwise we, as a civilisation, are sick. That's so true. If Joe public stopped to think for a moment before paying so much for so little, there would'nt be the money in football to pay these massive fees. Football was just as exciting 40, 50, 60 years ago when it was played by knobbly knee'ed players in baggy shorts and wearing industrial leather boots to kick a half-ton leather case-ball around. Mind you, if a player earns so much cash for his club, then he darned well deserves to get a fair share of the pie. If only it was true for any other industry. What really bothers me about this is that I'm helping to pay for these astronomic wages even though I never watch, nor have any interest in football. How? By paying my television licence or watching one or other of the commercial television channels (royalties) and by buying anything made by any company which may have used one of these overpaid "celebrities" to endorse their products. (trainers, razors, under-arm deodorant etc.). And while I'm ranting on, how sad are those individuals who purport to support a Team, but never go to actually watch them play, except maybe on the telly if they're on. I could (and do) go on and on... Just don't start me on pikeys or private pensions. Tarra Quote

Have to disagree. OK, yeah, I wasn't around 40,50,60 years ago, but if the World Cup Final in '66 is anything to go by, then I'd much rather watch today's game: so much quicker, more skillful, just generally more entertaining to watch. And while I'm ranting on, how sad are those individuals who purport to support a Team, but never go to actually watch them play, except maybe on the telly if they're on. I could (and do) go on and on Sooooo true! There's this girl in my class who absolutely loves Chelsea, but has never seen them play live, she's never even been to London. She goes on about how she's such a good Chelsea fan because she watches them on the telly at least 3 times a month. "Fans" like that really get on my tits. Personally I don't support any team and football is soooo much better that way. Mind, if I did support a team, it'd be Forest, and you can hardly get excited about them Quote
Atavar Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I know its their money to blitz how they like but its just a little insensitive isn't it? I mean that dough could pay, aside from the usual hospital wards ect, for at least 1000 morgages. People and orginisations with the liquidity may well be forced to have second thoughts over the next five years. Just look at F1, with cost cutting and cheapskate mesures being introduced into the system. Even farrari arn't complaining anymore. Quote
Siimon Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 So it's insensitive to spend your money on what you like rather than helping those with less than you? Quote
Atavar Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I am of the oppinion that if they had to do it the credit crunch is not the wisest time to shout about it. They could have kept it quiet. Quote
Siimon Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I am of the oppinion that if they had to do it the credit crunch is not the wisest time to shout about it. They could have kept it quiet. How do you keep buying Man City and offering £100m for Kaka quiet?! At the end of the day, lke you said, it's their money and they can do what they want with it. If they'd bought a business such as HMV, the press wouldn't be as interested and we wouldn't have heard so much about it, so it's the media's fault, not the Arabs. Quote
Atavar Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 But would that information have sold as many newspapers. The media reports stuff that people want to know more about, fine details. if no one cares it goes unreported, hence Celebrity Big Brother bullying news goes first, millions of people dying of famine in africa third on telly news running orders. Bullying how, where, who, when etc. Dying of famine is just that, not much jucy detail. Sad isn't it. Quote
cookie121 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 who cares.... Here here:) this kind of capitalistic over indulgence is what has put millions of family out of a job and out on the streets. I really hope he breaks both his legs in a horrific road accident the day he arrives, just to show that future of football does not lie in the business or the player it all about the pride!! Quote

She goes on about how she's such a good Chelsea fan because she watches them on the telly at least 3 times a month. "Fans" like that really get on my tits. Have seen worse, like Chelsea fans that were surprised that Chelsea was in London:rolleyes: Plus, one good thing about the game in the 40's and 50's was that everyone supported their local side. Look at some of the non-league attendances and they're often over 10,000 for local derbies. People had no connection to the (then) Div1 sides. Quote

braddels Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 irrelevant of if they come true or not, its an extremely horrible thing to say. playing football as your job is one of the hardest things (in some ways) to do imo because one injury and your out and you are contantly thinking about the day where you have to admit and realise you can no longer go on. like footballers say they would be doing it even without the money so to wish someone to end a career which they love and never want to do anything else imo is one of the worst things you could say Quote
