Why,we spent years as one of the richest clubs and outspent most. You cant moan about the lottery winners like City and Chelsea,spend the hundreds of millions we have and begrudge the Stokes and Swanseas the odd 15ml signing

[Babb'sBurstNad]

The absurdity of it all is that most foreign clubs now have separate prices for English teams which is inflated. 

[Tony Moanero]

£15m is the new £5m, that's all.

This should help lift the gloom Van Gaal and the failure to sign Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale et al generates

Ignore that Gabbiadini gets goals he's got an eye for goal.He's a big lad can see him suiting English football not like Borini, Aqualani and the rest. He's not quick but very composed in front of goal.

[Trumo]

How about you stop recommending Italians. Capisce?

[Denny Crane]

As if our transfer policy allows us to buy players with an eye for goal.

 

Maybe not for us but could see him prospering if he ends up at the right club.

Bloody hell,Yaya Toure is a precious little princess isnt he. After whinging city never got him anything for his birthday,he's now crying that its disgraceful he didnt win African player of the year. The winner

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has only scored 24 in 23 games this season and 37 goals in the calendar year.

 

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has reacted angrily to losing out on the CAF African Footballer of the Year award, saying the decision is "pathetic", "indecent" and "brings shame to Africa".

 

Toure hit out at his critics in a controversial interview in October, accusing detractors of "spreading bulls***", and has had a number of run-ins with the press in the United Kingdom and his home continent.

 

The 32-year-old captained the Ivory Coast to their first Africa Cup of Nations triumph since 1992 at the start of last year and was named in the competition's team of the tournament.

 

But he lost out to Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the individual stakes - voted for by coaches and technical directors - and has now hit out at the decision makers, insisting "even Fifa" would not have reached such a conclusion.

 

“I’m very, very disappointed," he told Afrique Foot. "It’s sad to see Africa react this way, that they don't think African achievements are important.

 

“I think this is what brings shame to Africa, because to act in that way is indecent. But what can we do about it? Us Africans, we don’t show that Africa is important in our eyes. We favour more what’s abroad than our own continent. That is pathetic.

 

“Even Fifa, with all its history of corruption, wouldn’t do this.”

 

Toure is no stranger to courting controversy in the press and it appears more on the way after he vowed to "tell the truth" when questions come his way.

 

“Yaya will take care of Yaya and let Africa take care of itself," he added. "As I’ve been told many times, you can’t take care of Africa too much because Africa will be the first to let you down.

 

“When I return to Europe, a lot of questions will be asked. I think I’m going to have to answer them. As I’m someone who’s honest, I will always tell the truth.”

He really does come across as a right gobshite.  He's brother couldn't be further removed from how he acts.

[moof]

Yaya is an absolute bellend.

[Lee909]

Got to give some respect to Watford and Flores. Talk they are on the verge of signing Townsend and Fiorentina's Suarez. Really trying to establish themselves

Spurs want £15m for Townsend!!

[3 Stacks]

Townsend is shite, but the business they have done shows you don't need "Premier League proven" players to do well in this league

[Lee909]

Didnt realise they were talking 15ml for him. Shit his stock has fallen a fair bit in the last 18 months. Theres a player there though,wether he can be bothered is another point.

[Russ Atmosphere]

I already thought Levy was a brilliant chairman. If he gets that much for Townsend the rest of the league should just go home.

[Frankenhooker]

If Spurs didn't have gates at White Hart Lane, Townsend would run out of the bloody ground. One of the stupidest footballers in the country, and there's some competition.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Have we bought him yet?

[Lee909]

No,he's got two working hamstrings

[Hades]

Yaya got the talent, Kolo got the charm and good looks. You can't have it all.

[Boss]

In fairness to Yaya Aubameyang was born and grew up in France. That does bring some context to his reply.

[A_S]

Surely it suggests that he is very proud of his African heritage to want to represent Gabon over the far more glamorous France? What's wrong with that?

 

Kolo must wince at some of the embarrassing shite his little brother spouts sometimes.

[Denny Crane]

Missed this Toure and his Arsenal trial.

Wycombe going to pull this off?

[manwiththestick]

Levy could get 15 million for Andy Townsend.
