Costa was easily the most disgraceful player in La Liga last year and is just as bad a diver as Suarez. Anyone who wants him at their club is daft, if he did half of what he got away with last year in the EPL, particularly with more attention to be paid to incidents missed in games and seen by refs this season.... Liverpool will be remembering the good old days of 8-10 game bans ;)


With Bale, again when people get creative with accounting they can justify just about anything... look at the banking industry as long as it SOUNDS better you can sell the idea.

Call it 105mil and assume that includes to players they bought for 30mil and its 50mil cash upfront. They've paid for those players and will spend anything from 40-60mil on wages for those two players in the next 3-4 seasons. So a creative accountant would sell that as saving 40-60mil by getting two players who won't really be used off the book. Likewise they know their value isn't actually that high, one of them because he's just crap, the other because he's not wanted (but much closer to full value than the other). They can suggest that it would take 100mil cash to get Bale, or 50mil + two players, who in the real world are only worth 30-40mil between them, suddenly they've effectively saved 15mil on the total value of the deal by(much like Spurs have on Bales) exagerating what the players are worth.

You can also spin it both ways for Spurs, they get 50mil for a potential star and 2 top notch players. In reality they'll get 50mil... + 2 players on huge wages, so a significant amount of that 50mil would realistically be accounted for in paying those guys double the wages other players at the club get over 4 years... leaving them with one very good winger, one rubbish left back and no Bale.

Personally I'd take 50mil + Di Maria and no Coentrao, the deal might appear worse but it leaves them with more actual spending power with Bale gone.

Totally agree about Costa. He lost the plot so many times year. Always looking for a fight.

Haven't Liverpool learned anything with Suarez?
 
My view on the Costa deal, I want him in the EPL. I love entertaining players, Suarez is a **** with his antics, but do I want him to leave the league, hell no. Same as when Maureen left. Lehmann, Drogba, etc. even Joey Barton. Characters are part of the game.

For instance, El Classico was mostly watched in recent years because we knew something was going to kick off :D

Though the flinging spit is pretty weird, though as someone said, it's Ramos, and he gives as good as he gets, if not more so.
 
Spurs on verge of CB signing.

Bah! Why are Sours able to make deals quickly and Arsenal have to drag it out.....

Wenger is wasting time focusing on one player. We have many positionsthat need reinforcing: GK, CB, CM, LM, CF.

Get busy Wenger!
 
Costa sounds like a funny one. I've not seen him play first hand, so can't comment. But based on this it looks like he loves winding people up on the pitch, and is good at dropping it when he finishes a match.

If that's the case, I've not got many problems with it (although flinging snot around is another matter). A few antics and niggles are part of football, and if you wind somebody up and it wins you the match then fair play. It depends on how far he goes of course - a Balotelli like stamp, a bite, or a gob is clearly too far.

Guardian Article said:
Diego Costa says that he never takes his work home with him. Which is probably a good thing. If he did, the Atlético Madrid striker might walk through the door, goad the dog with a stick, surreptitiously elbow his wife out of the way on the stairs, shrug his shoulders innocently as she lay in a crumpled heap at the bottom and whisper insults to his children, look the other way and whistle when they burst into tears. He might stroll into the living room and dramatically collapse on the floor, roll around the rug holding his head and appeal for a penalty. He might even get it too.

Laughed at that

Yes, it's a done deal I hear.

Still nothing new for us... brace yourselves...

That article makes so much sense and has so much stuff in it that could well be true, but being the Daily Star, I just can't take it seriously

I would literally go and engage in sexual intercourse with anyone that made that deal happen if it was true though. Would be amazing
 
Are we to assume that Real are going to sell their star player and arguably the second best player on the planet by a distance for less than they're willing to pay for a player that's had one very good season? Real are mugging themselves if that happens :o

They might be forced too if Ronaldo won't sign a contract extension, why risk losing him for nothing? Still, it won't happen :(
