    Why not, it's loose change in Sheikh Rattlenroll's jeans pocket. Not his money, is it, why should he care?

    Presumably the Netherlands pay a shit salary to their manager. Koeman must be well aware that he's got 2 years max, possibly only a year, before Barca replace him with their preferred choice of manager.

    Most salaries for national sides wouldn't come close to what Barca will be paying.

    Nothing wrong with that, for a captain that can put his money where his mouth is.


    Roy Keane took it up a level to being a cnut to the management. Didn't do him any harm.


    Besides missing a World Cup and being shipped out after destroying his teammates on the Team's official TV channel.

    QUOTE OF THE DAY
    “I can tell you about Koeman from my personal experience. He provided me absolutely nothing” – another happy customer from Big Ron’s time at Everton, in the form of Gerard Deulofeu.

    Well all the jungle drums say we have succeeded in prising Gabriel from Napoli's sweaty fists.

    It seems even Manchester Dhabi have their limits.

    Wonder if this is true?

    Ronald Koeman’s cull at Barcelona has begun with the Dutchman telling Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Samuel Umtiti to find new clubs this summer.

    I'd be disappointed if this is true, although in fairness none of his managers has seemed to be able to find his best position.

    Wolves closing in on signing Arsenal defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles

    Not the best kept secret in the world. I'm actually feeling quite happy about him and Saliba lining up alongside each other. Hopefully they will hit the ground running, so to speak.

    Arsenal have officially confirmed that they’ve signed Gabriel from Lille as Mikel Arteta welcomes an important defensive reinforcement to his squad.

    The 22-year-old impressed during his spell with the French side, making 52 appearances as he established himself as a key figure in the line-up.

    That form has seemingly led to interest from north London, and as per Arsenal’s official site, they have confirmed that the Brazilian ace has signed a long-term contract to join them this summer.

    It’s added that Gabriel will wear the No.6 shirt, with technical director Edu revealing his delight over the move, a sentiment shared by boss Arteta as per the report above.


    Arsenal conceded 48 goals in their 38 Premier League games last season, giving them the second worst defensive record of the top nine sides in the standings.

    Does this mean the end of the David Luiz show?

    Depends if he's sticking with a back 3 I suppose, and if Holding goes out on loan to the barcodes.

    You can't fault Luiz performances in the last two cup games, but he's got a mistake in every game innit.

    I think it's fair to say that Abramovich is interested again.

    So much for all that young British talent.

    I guess they'll have to start working on their German.

    Did any tabloid ever use the heading 'Frank Incensed' when he was angry about something.


    Perhaps Frank Incensed on Myrrhseyside, to make it really really terrible.

    This seems to have come as a surprise to Moyes and his team. But the West Ham board is full of surprises.

    West Ham’s captain, Mark Noble, has said he is “sad and angry” after West Brom completed the permanent signing of the winger Grady Diangana from the London club.


    Noble tweeted his disapproval of the loss of a player with Diangana’s potential, writing: “As captain of this football club I’m gutted, angry and sad that Grady has left, great kid with a great future!!!!!”
    Now, if we can just get hold of someone who can score a dozen goals...

    Prolly some leftover spare change that the cleaners found down the back of *ahem* Abramovich's sofa, that he couldn't squirrel out of the country any other way.
