GoodisonRoad Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 If I was a player and Monaco came calling I'd go there also... What a life and what a place to live it, I can fully understand why people get pissed off with it but who wouldn't do what they do if put in their shoes? Completely agree. Though, i blame the clubs rather than the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 this Neymar deal... I was under the impression he only had 1 year left on his contract? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22760770 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy8 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) this Neymar deal... I was under the impression he only had 1 year left on his contract? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22760770 Yeah it's a complete rip-off for that price. Even Ozil went for around 15 mil in the last year of his contract when he left Bremen. Edited June 4, 2013 by TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Stekelenburg to Fulham for £4m, could be a steal. Ola Toivonen (PSV striker) will apparently be available for £3,5m. He has one year left on his current deal and doesn't want to re-sign, which would apparently mean he'll have to play for their U21s next season. Could be another bargain, seems to me like both Toivonen and PSV will be eager to get a deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy8 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 They have a director of football, Txiki Begiristain. Never really understood the nature of having a DOF. From what I gather their job is to be the link between the manager and the board, and as well in City's case acting as a manager by bringing players in. Apart from the City example should the interaction being these two parties be part of the manager's job? Back on topic - I expect Fernandinho to flop.

Manager's in England combine the responsibilities of a head coach and a director of football. In Europe, directors of football generally have more job security than head coaches so they provide a kind of continuity in all transfer dealings.

I think he's brilliant but many could think that Sunderland merely make him look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
