Football thread 2013/14 season

[JamesTW]

Nice to see PSG taking FFP seriously.

fiddling the books, as in PSG are deliberately paying too much to help Chelsea and they will do them a favour back, some weird shit I reckon

[Stig]

Probably buy Cavani off them for £25/30m. Be amazing if they bought Ibra off them if only to see him in the PL.

[Shoes]

he had a relatively average season last year

his value will go down every season now.

Also Matic is a far superior defensive midfielder over Luiz.

But

Respect due.

[jimmmUK]

Respect due indeed. World class when he's at his best. No goals in 2013/14 though. Lots of long range shots when there were better options too.

Rumoured to be £40million. So that is Costa with £8million change.

[Baring]

His Fulham goal was the best and no way has he ever been world class.

To be in that bracket you've got to show some consistency.

I do like him though, he's a good player but I don't know what his best position is.

[jimmmUK]

True - world class is the wrong wording. He was up there with the best and unplayable at the top of his game. But far too inconsistent and frustrating to watch a lot of the time last season.

Just seen this on Twitter:

@JWTelegraph: How have Chelsea got almost £100m for Luiz, De Bruyne and Mata, 3 players Mourinho didn't especially want? Great business

[ryodi]

I realise that football journalists seem to think Mourinho walks on water but just because he doesn't want certain players doesn't make them terrible. All three were on long term contracts and wanted to leave, they weren't going to be low balled selling them.

[SMD]

Yeah I'm amazed that three skilful players in their prime were in demand, Mourinho is a fucking genius.

[The Fox]

David Luiz looks miles better for Brazil, playing with Thiago Silva. Even so, that's a very dodgy looking fee.

[squirtle]

Luiz is a dirty fucking cunt and I'll be glad to see him fuck off.

[neoELITE]

[Mr Do 71]

Luiz is a dirty fucking cunt and I'll be glad to see him fuck off.

The truth.

[Revival]

Nah, He's no Charlie Adam.

Sad to see him to as he's such a great character but what a rediculous fee.

All the best Geezer!

Dodgy?

[Timmo]

GUYS ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THE BIG ONE

[GrahamDunn]

GUYS ARE YOU ALL READY FOR THE BIG ONE

All the best at Wembley, Timmo. Hopefully Derby give you the result that you're looking for.

[Commander Jameson]

Definitely rooting for Derby. Hopefully Wisdom will do a good job for you.

[Pants McSkill]

C'mon Derby!

[layten]

As a Brentford fan I wish Derby all the best.

[NexivRed]

Goooooooooo Derby.

[Yobo Ahoy]

Eyoweyeyoyeyowayyy Derby County.

[Silent Runner]

Go team Timmo/Derby.

[Charliemouse]

Its the best game of the season for me.

Its horrible if you lose though. I have been to two finals and the feeling when you get beat is the worst feeling I have ever felt while watching football.

[Rsdio]

I have been to two finals and the feeling when you get beat is the worst feeling I have ever felt while watching football.

Amen to that, I've only been to one final that Huddersfield have lost (League 1, not the Championship) but it was pretty horrendous. I think for most of us the hangover lingered until we finally managed to scrape up the next year.

[The Fox]

Has anyone ever met somebody who likes 'Arry? He's painted as this massively popular guy, but as far as I can tell that's total bollocks.

[Kelthink]

Dodgy?

That's what he wrote, yeah

[Gabe]

Do you think 'Arry will stay if QPR lose?

[SaintM]

Angel seems to like him.

FORZA DERBY

[SMD]

That was a Lee Mason special.
