From what I've read RM may have got cold feet. Navas has been in good form and 80% of their fans didn't want De Gea.

Madrid make an official statement. Basically it not their fault.

According to his own twitter,it seems Charlie Austin will be staying at QPR (and leaving on a free next summer).

Gob smacked that no one would cough up ?15m for him.

Very, very happy with our action today...

...careful what you wish for etc

Typical Levy haggling over a couple of million quid. FFS get the Berahino deal done and offload the wage thief while your at it.

[Alan Medic]

I think it was to do with how little he wanted to pay up front.

[????]

I am amzed that Levy is allowed anywhere near Spuds' transfer policy nowadays

Yep - pretty satisfied with the deals - thought Spurs might try and nip in for Moses but I suppose they were busy elsewhere - guessing Bilic knows how to get best out of Jelavic.

Dodged a bullet with Adebayor too.

[Otta]

This has potential to turn in to a disaster for the player.

He needs to just suck it up and get on with it til January.

[maxxi]

What club would want him now he's shown how he behaves when he doesn't get his way -

"with Berahino not in a state of mind to play and not one of the more popular figures among team-mates"

cue cries of "But he's young and misunderstood and passionate and he only wants to play and he loves the fans and..." - whiney little f&cker.

Redknapp very scathing on Liverpool. Says they are the worst Liverpool team he's seen and lucky to have any points this season.

Redknapp really should know better, his track record isn't exactly brilliant. Pot and kettle

Good to see the home nations doing well in the Euros......only the sweaties letting us down

[Alan Medic]

Had to google that term. As it did the Mick's/Paddies a favour I'm happy enough. Though of course we are not a home nation.

[red devil]

Up yours Madrid :)...

[Otta]

Yeah, now you'll have to meet his new release clause next summer.

[red devil]

I don't mind if he wants to go back to Madrid at some point, but at least we would now get some decent money for him. During the summer he never moaned or threw a sulk, came back to Mcr and got on with his training etc. Fans won't have a problem with him...

No shit sherlock. Of course it's a done deal - he'll get his 200k a week or whatever it is, Madrid will get him at aslight discount with a buy out clause but get him and United won't lose out by him going out of contract

Andre Ayew Player of the month

Nice

[aquarius moon]

Very nice JohnL and even nicer to know there are other Swans fans on here.

Not so nice today though, but we all have the occasional off day. And it won't be occasional!

Fantasy football league.

I don't know why there isn't a thread for this. Maybe everyone prefers to remain anonymous?

I know there is a forum/message thing on there but not a lot of good if you can't get in.

So, to those half dozen that I know have teams:

Have you been able to access your team/make changes this week? After the break I didn't even try to do so until last night, clicked on it but nothing happened. Same this morning.

Does this happen frequently? All I wanted to do was swap two defenders and it's only a matter of a couple of points, but it would be all the same if my life depended on it.

Losing interest now. What's the point of playing a game if you can't play?

[Otta]

I just knee Martial would score against Liverpool today. Game didn't really deserve a 3-1 scoreline, and shame Benteke's goal will be well overshadowed, it was a beaut.

[Jah Lush]

Doesn't stop the fact that Liverpool were bloody awful.

[????]

Six pointer for you today Jah

[Jah Lush]

Indeed. So we better win or end up in the quagmire. I think/hope we will. 2-1 Spurs is my tip.
