QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Aug 11 2008, 05:44 AM)  Milan should look at quite a few players from City. Micah Richards, is one of the more promising English talents, and we haven't had an Englishman at Milan since Hately. I'm not even sure he's English. He might be a Scot (therefore British..right kurtie?). Ray Wilkins aswell in the 80s |

And who knows about Man City at the moment, just a guessing game for the media. |

I think Manchester City is financially irresponsible. They have enough strikers already... look at their roster. I mean did they forget about Jo? Thaksin still has his assets frozen..

Thaksin's assets in Thailand are frozen right? That's the only area where the Thai government has jurisdiction. One of my chat pals says, that means about 1.8 billion pounds worth of cash+assets. He says this still leaves him with 2.6 billion in hand. It's not the money that's important here.
What is important is, if Thailand put in a formal extradition plea to UK, for Thaksin to be tried for crimes in Thailand. In which case, Thaksin will be deported and have to face charges, and almost certainly a prison sentence. Of course, this would violate the EPL's norms for owners, and he could no longer be in charge. Maybe he will hire a representative or something to act on his behalf while he's 'unofficially' owner. |

Thanks for that Jack, I'm not sure what the EPL rules are on it though so I don't know whether he'd be allowed any involvement in the club anymore - including his money. Oh, and I have more news to make you happy, Jack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
QUOTE Martin O'Neill has made a £7m offer for the Newcastle United winger James Milner as he looks to further strengthen Aston Villa's squad. The manager this week signed the Rangers defender Carlos Cuéllar for £7.8m and has made Milner, an England Under-21 international, his next target. Newcastle's manager, Kevin Keegan, faces a possible battle with his board over Milner. He is keen to keep the 22-year-old but will most likely have to sell players to achieve his ambition of adding to his squad this month and the club's owner, Mike Ashley, will be sorely tempted to accept an offer for Milner. Ashley revealed this week that Newcastle still owe £27m in outstanding payments on transfer deals completed before he took over. Keegan has fought hard to try to keep Alan Smith at the club amid interest from teams including Everton and will be preparing himself for a similar scenario involving Milner, who played for Villa on loan in 2005-06 while on Newcastle's books. Guardian I'd be very pleased if we got him, especially at that price. Already played for the club, only 22 years old and amazingly has 6 years of EPL experience! He would sort out our RM problem, leaving us just needing goal poacher type striker to really complete our squad.

Hahaha...sure. We'll trade him for Barry+cash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Or you could give us Agbonkarachi...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (acid911 will probably get the joke...I hope it's not offensive!).
7 million for an English prospect. Haven't you heard? They don't go for below 15.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This post has been edited by Jack Sparrow: Aug 14 2008, 07:58 AM |

Wouldn't want you to think I was poking fun at Lahore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Of course, you can respond by making fun of Shravanabalegola..

My whole country is a bit of a joke, really, so I don't mind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) At least by making jokes it's being put to good use.
Today is our day of Independence (August 14), and we lucky enough to have a little bomb blast in the market near where I live in Lahore. And while I keep hearing of all those bombs going off in remote areas, it is completely another thing seeing in the news the places where I've been to, to grab music CDs, where we last went out for McDonalds, the Adidas store where we bough our Milan jersey, and what not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And no, I won't respond by making fun of Shravanabalegola - it's probably more safe there. Oh well, happy independence day, everybody. Have fun. |

Not today, but in due time. Well, the whole of parliament is after him, so I don't see his reign continuing for much longer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Just like Walker Bush, Tony Blair, and other such duds, he will one day pass the chair to someone else. I'm sure that day is getting near.

Can't find the link on Daily Telegraph but it was translated into portuguese. Basically, they asked Jose Mourinho to choose "his" XI for this years Premier League.
It was like a Fantasy League where he could use 50M/euros. He used 49,6. Here's the team and his comments: QUOTE Reina (Liverpool) “Evoluiu graças à sua inacreditável confiança e vai fazer uma grande época.”
Hutton (Tottenham) “Gosto da atitude positiva da escola escocesa.Este lateral é batalhador.” Bale (Tottenham) “Na esquerda, o melhor é Ashley Cole mas Bale marca livres, cantos e... golos” Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea) “Um dos melhores do Mundo. Até Terry melhorou a jogar ao seu lado.” Gallas (Arsenal) “Duas qualidades: irrita-se quando perde e é versátil. Que dupla com Ricardo! Diarra (Portsmouth) “A França sabe o que tem e pode preencher o lugar de Makelele e Vieira.” Gerrard (Liverpool) “Quem não o quer? É de classe mundial e só lhe falta ganhar o título inglês.” Essien (Chelsea) “Tem de estar nesta equipa – é um dos meus ‘filhos’ preferidos do futebol.” Pedersen (Blackburn) “Se Ronaldo não dá [caríssimo]... Marca 6 golos de bola parada/época.” Torres (Liverpool) “É simplesmente um ‘matador’. Nesta equipa, é o meu Super-Homem.” Defoe (Portsmouth) “Tal como Torres, espero 20 golos dele nesta época. Se for titular, marca. É sempre assim.” |
