[quote=“Horsebox, post: 725299”]Sad indeed. Depends on his wage demands. Heard that he was looking for around £90k net per week. With lower tax rates in Turkey compared to England obviously the deal makes more sense for Galatasaray than any interested English club.
I’ve seen quotes saying that due to the higher tax bands in England, clubs would have to pay him £9m a year to match his current salary. Greedy bastard seems to be scrambling now trying to avoid a career ending trip to Turkey. You have to wonder with these cunts-how much is enough? He is already a multi-millionaire and should be at the peak of his career-now looks likely to end up in Turkey so he can throw more on the large pile he already has.[/quote]
Yeah but he is dutch and they are as tight as fuck.

Fiorentina are on the verge of signing Rafal Wolski from Legia. I can’t remember if I asked you about him before but can you tell me about what type of midfielder he is and how good he is or will be.[/quote]
Very good. Young. The new Boniek.
Look forward to seeing him. Fiorentina have been very busy in January having signed Vecino, Wolski, Comperr, Larrondo and Rossi in this window - they are being closely linked with a move for Quagliarella as well.
Diego Lopez has signed for Real Madrid from Sevilla, €4 million fee
Looks like Anelka is on his way to Juventus, they won’t solve their striking problems with short-term, unimaginative, cheap options like Bendtner, Anelka and Llorente.
Liverpool have agreed a fee with Inter for Coutinho
If Liverpool deploy him in an advanced midfield role then they could have a very good deal on their hands. I really can’t understand why he hasn’t been afforded more chances at Inter since he signed given their relatively mundane attack and midfield. I don’t think Liverpool will get the best off them in a 4-3-3 though, they need to play 4-2-3-1 to get the best of him and will need to play through him. He should link up with Suarez well.
Been a good transfer campaign for Liverpool this season, they probably overpaid on Allen but he’s still a decent player. Think the left attacker spot is still a problem for them though. Borini is not a left winger and Sterling is beginning to look a bit predictable and lightweight. Are they still in the market for Ince? They should probably turn their attention to midfield now and look to get a good sitting player beside Lucas.
My sources indicate that Coutinho has been earmarked to play in the left attacker position in the 4-3-3 and he won’t necessarily be deployed in a central role.
Milan have bid €20m for Balotelli which is a fair price as far as I’m concerned. City would be mad to reject it and it will be a good conclusion for all three parties.
- City will recoup €20m for a striker who is troublesome and unhappy. They also have three very good strikers at their disposal so won't miss Mario.
- Mario gets to return to his home country and play in a side where he will be guaranteed regular games, thus aiding his development.
- Milan get a very talented young player for €20m.
Reject. Worth 60.
If Balotelli is worth €60m then El Sharaawy is worth €100m and Destro €150m.
Who cares what they’re worth? Got nothing to do with this.
Reject that paltry bid.
Galliani will lowball City in selling Balotelli on his terms. He is a master negotiator.
He can do what he likes. City are filthy rich.
Galliani will shaft City and Milan will turn Balotelli into a star who will win a CL with the club - City will never win a European Cup.
Totti thinks he can tell the future :rolleyes:
No sale.
I’ve done it before and I will be vindicated again.
Up yer hole.
No sale to the spics.
It’s going to happen.
