The Banter Thread

That's literally the gayest thing I've seen since Thorpy trying to be a 'lad' in that thread in GD. Wow.

Purdy · 16 May 2011 at 23:37

It's shopped, modelling our third kit under it.
You know who on rawk reporting we're favourites for him, so no doubt Chelsea shall get him.

Purdy, I've told you what I think about that **** on RAWK. He linked us with nearly 30 players in 2 posts.

Was kind of what I was suggesting

?

Didn't Aguero have his clause reduced byw? Buyout that is.

BaZ87 · 16 May 2011 at 23:45

I have no idea but as I've explained in the transfer thread before, the clause means **** all.

The only way Spanish buyout clauses can be activated is if the player personally pays the club the money. And the buying club cannot simply give the player the money because as soon as he receives the money, it will be classed as an earning and he'll be taxed.

DanH84 · 16 May 2011 at 23:55

also, buyout clauses in Spain are only valid between Spanish clubs, they can charge clubs outside of Spain whatever they want. I know this because David De Gea has one but United couldn't use it. So I learned something.

Well if it was indeed lowered it might be cheaper doing it that way even through taxes due to athletis high demands.

Meh, well never get him.

DanH84 · 17 May 2011 at 00:01

why would you want him unless you were really ******* loaded. you've bought £50 something million worth of attacking players. You need to strengthen elsewhere more urgently in my really humble opinion.

Not exactly. IINM, these buyout clauses are just gentlemens agreements among Spanish club. There's no legal obligation for the selling club to accept a bid whether the buying club is from Spain or not. The only way these clauses can be enforced is if the playe buys himself out of his deal

I'm not sure what's the tax rate in Spain but I'd be surprised if paying the tax on top of the buyout sum would be cheaper than making the selling club an offer they'll accept.

Doesn't matter about the situation though, if this fan was giving racial abuse it's racial abuse. It is upto Ba at the end of the day to still say yes or no to the supporter.

Sullivan has it right, being an ass while drunk is far too common here.

G|mp · 17 May 2011 at 15:41

cheets will always back the white man, he's a teeny bit racist is old cheets.

West Ham has said one of its players was racially abused at an end-of-season dinner during which trouble flared.

BBC football correspondent Dan Roan said forward Demba Ba was the target of the abuse during Monday's gala dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

Trouble is thought to have broken out at the £275-a-head event in Park Lane when a player refused to sign an autograph for a supporter.

Another story says other wise, Sullivan is claiming it was only one fan, people at the dinner said it was more than one and people ran out and fled when security/police came and someone kung fu kicked a vase.

Sullivan will say anything to make out his players did nothing wrong.

How long would it take to write a B+A

News just in that Michael Owen has released his own aftershave.

No confirmed reports but it looks like it will be called 'My Cologne'

I'm going to say... 5 minutes until I see the first indignant Liverpool fan questioning Hodgson's inclusion.

BaZ87 · 18 May 2011 at 16:43

Hodgson? They're taking the ****.

I waited a full 14 minutes just to make Weebull look stupid.
