That works in Liverpools favour, if any legal s**t happens it will automatically miss the next 2 transfer windows, which is what Liverpool want (or BR at least). It will also lead to a massive fine for Arsenal, as they should have no idea about the clause in his contract, and when we found out about Ziege's Boro contract release clause a few years ago, we got fined for tapping up. Legal precedent is in place. That extra 1 penny on the bid could have actually cost your club a hell of a lot more.

I can't stress how important next season is for BR. He holds all the aces, but whether FSG pull that hand from him remains to be seen (I think they're a bunch of idiots personally). If he finishes in the same position as this season, that's his job gone imo. Can you see Liverpool finishing much higher without Suarez?

If you get to £50, then you have a real chance, but I think it will need to break the record for the club to justify selling him to the team most likely to drop out of the top 4 out of all of them. Although secretly I'm hoping the Moyesiah doesn't let me down.

when negotiating a fee for a player between the two clubs dont they usually already know about any release clauses? i never knew there was a rule about not knowing clauses and clubs weren't meant to know about them? loads of players have their release clauses revealed to clubs and the media seem to know them, just the other day it was announced Saldado wouldn't leave unless his 26M buyout clause was met..

They're part of the legal contract in Spain to have to have buy out clauses. In England, they're private. I think I prefer the Spanish model, that way everyone knows where they stand.

I know everyone pretty much knows about them anyway, but it's still counts as tapping up, because unless the club releases a statement saying he has a buyout clause of £xm (which they haven't), then the only other way for it to be released is by the agent.

We got caught out in exactly the same way. Zieges agent went and sought out Houllier and told him about it, yet we got done for it.

ah that makes sense, yeah it definitely makes more sense doing it the Spanish way.. with these rules in England its always going to lead to something bad. I imagine after our first bid was rejected and we had negotiated a bit i assume we were told about any Suarez had clauses then?

Not by Liverpool, by his agent, and that's where your troubles begin. NO selling club would tell you about any clauses in contracts, it just doesn't make sense.

It definitely strengthens our hand that you made that bid, as far as I'm concerned. But I'm neither an agent, or a lawyer. Legal precedent is there though, it just depends how we want to use it.

I wouldn't rule out Real Madrid just yet because they have the Gonzalo Higuain cash to spend, although they need to find a replacement for Raul Albiol in their defence too?

And Carvalho has been sold. Need a couple of defenders I imagine, and also a striker seeing as though they only have Benzema now.

Unless Ancelotti creams his pants and goes for the ultimate line up:

Isco Ozil Bale

Ronaldo

all things lead to Bale and Bale only.. They will get him this summer or next, they have Benzema and its time for Morata to step up now Higuain has gone. Zidane who is still part of Madrid and works with them has said he's the most entertaining player in Europe at the moment, he'll have had a say on the matter.

[Shaun]

i'm still not fussed about Suarez (especially not with that pricetag). Not heard of Bernard, any good? :whistle:

[Drew.]

hes a pretty small and slim guy so people would worry about that but then again Oscar and Lucas were/are pretty slim and they've done amazing over here so far. But hes class in my opinion and gets into the Brazil squad ahead of Coutinho and for 22m Euro's and with Gervinho leaving we would be stupid not to get him

and I really don't think Lucas has done that amazing so far tbh.

amazing probably wasnt the right word for Lucas, but he has done quite well since arriving.. Oscar has been quality though.

[Ryan57]

Trying Jones and Giggs as right now, we'll probably sign 'effin no one.

Edit: Good news that fat ***** isn't in the centre of midfield.

Rosicky has been great in pre season whenever i have seen him

Pre season is important - Small club mentality

We are STARTING Young shows you how much Moyes cares about pre-season

Regardless of results Wilf,Adan and Jesse have come out shining which is a huge positive

[Legend killer]

Fat Ando and Zaha LOOOOOOOL

Wilf best winger in EPL behind Nani

COME AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

[Legend killer]

LOOOOL at basing how we will do on some pre-season games

I am VERY excited about this year regardless of trophies (BOOKMARK we will go VERY far in Europe)

We have managed to keep our best winger and have another winger who is actually capable of beating players in Wilf. Both of which will thrive in Moyes system

Our football will be the best we have seen in nearly 4 years

And youngsters will be given a chance it seems

IN MOYES WE TRUST

PS: RVP really needs to learn how to finish his chances

[Ryan57]

Can't see us going far in Europe. That said, highly doubt any English team will win it.

[Brother Leon]

Tbh. We are more likely to do well in the CL than league. I feel we will be a cup team for a couple transition years.

[Ryan57]

If that midfield doesn't get fixed, Pep will piss all over us if we face Bayern. We'd get absolutely destroyed. Barca and Real would also destroy us.

[Ryan57]

Rio tweeted:

2-2 vs Cerezo Osaka..very good team, hard game for the lads. Tough humid conditions, I lost 4kgs during the game..90mins played so on we go!

Scholes spotted his mates drinking beer in the stands at Stalybridge tonight, said "watch this" - pinged the ball 25-yards, beer everywhere.

Craig Norwood ‏@CraigNorwood 9h
Safe to say that is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

The guy is a photographer and didn't even get a photo of it.

Lee Sharpe: “A few of us including Robbo, are watching the Youth team and we ask the boss which ones are staying, going etc. etc. So he points to them one by one, “he’s staying” he’s going.”

Robbo says, “What about the little Ginger lad?”

Fergie – “Well, we’re not sure. He’s got loads of ability, but he’s not the quickest, and we’re not sure if he’s a striker or a midfielder. He can’t tackle either. We’ll most likely let him go.”

“2 minutes later, Scholes runs from a deep position exposing the two centre halves, goes through both with a shimmy and dummy, feints to shoot past the keeper, who then commits himself, and gets beaten by chip over a flailing hand.

Robbo turns to the boss and says, “You don’t know ****ing much about players, do you boss?”.”

There also should've been a empty net penalty. At one point the Honduran Keeper stepped out of his box to punch a ball outside the area. It was a foul but he didn't get a red card when he should've

I'm sure Landon Donovan (He's been on fire for the Gold Cup, is responsible for 8 goals and has scored more than the Mexican team in the tournament) and Chris Wondolowski will be added to the world cup squad. Two great guys from the MLS.

Sorry that it didn't show up.

Meanwhile there's a bunch of miffed calls again. :(

The Guardian are reporting, Liverpool have issued members of staff with a list of "unacceptable" words and phrases in their efforts to combat all forms of discrimination at Anfield.

Tomorrow AS Roma is playing MLS All Stars.

The game is in Kansas City and the local team is quite good and popular. Kinda hoping Graham Zusi gets to play in Europe soon. I haven't stepped in KC's stadium but from the outside it looks awesome.

EDIT: Game is tonight

[BBfanUSA]

For any MLS (US' top football league) followers out there. The MLS Comissioner (He's the "president" of the league.) Don Garber has said they will be expanded to 24 teams by 2020. They're at 20 right now with 19 clubs playing and 1 getting ready to play in 2015 (New York City FC, Half is owned by Manchester City's Ownership Group, the other half is owned by Baseball's New York Yankees)
One of these teams will be owned by David Beckham. It was a part of his deal signing with the MLS when he joined LA Galaxy.

In My Opinion I think they should be working on adding two more teams and then slowly work out a regulation system. (Oklahoma City and Miami or Orlando, FL ) Some are already calling for a regulation system in the US. I do like that idea but we should wait about 10-12 more years before implementing it.

Yeah. When I use to get ESPN US streams of United's 3pm games, he'd commentate. :worship:

[BBfanUSA]

Yeah, this year NBC/NBCSN has the rights to all EPL games and for the next few years as well. Arlo White will be the main PBP (He's been the main PBP for MLS and Olympic Football for NBC/NBCSN). After 2014, FOX Sports has World Cup Rights. I'm going to miss him. (Although ESPN still have Some MLS Rights, we might see him being the PBP for the MLS Cup Final)

Fox Sports lost the rights to Premier League games?

[BBfanUSA]

Fox Sports lost the rights to Premier League games?

Yeah, NBC out bought them,

They'll have a TV Service where in case NBCSN or NBC isn't showing the game you wanna watch, you can pay extra for those games. (Like most US sports)

All games will be available for free on the Website as well.

FOX is reconfiguring their national sports channels into one channel to compete with ESPN. I guess they had to sacrifice some things (I know they had to give up F1 rights to NBC) Fox Sports still have UEFA Club Championships rights along with Satellite provider Directtv. (Which they provide for free if you have DirectTV, basically if they're not showing the game you want to watch, the other games will be available)

Made me chuckle lol

[Legend killer]

Sky sports understands the main stumbling block in the Bale to Madrid
talks is the price Rafa is willing to accept to let Bale leave his pocket. Our insider suggests Real don't want to pay more then 20 mil however his release clause is supposedly closer to 30 mil

In all seriousness i do hope Rafa receives some sort of payment he had housed Bale for the last 3 years rent free

it's not American commentators it's Fox's Commentators. Which have sucky commentators for every sport imagineable almost.

yeah Fox have terrible commentators, they are the only good streams unfortunately.. the American commentator doing the Everton - Madrid game last night was quite good though

[Jemal]

Muntari is probably the worst passer of a football ive ever seen.

If you haven't seen that American Coach in London thing up above watch it. It's amazing.

Well the new away kit for Everton this year, I don't like it at all. In fact let's burn it.

Thought he was too good for Fulham, was a dick and is now in the MLS...oh football :)

[King Gizzard]

tbf he could have gone to other PL clubs/european clubs and he was wanted, he was homesick though and wanted to move back for a couple years now

[bbfan1991]

Luis Suarez out of Liverpool's next pre season game with a foot injury, everyones conspiracy theories are really coming out now;).

[Jesus.]

How about this for a conspiracy theory. Clubs pay what Liverpool want, or they don't sign him.

I wouldn't be surprised if the club have said to him to take a couple of weeks and either arrange for a club to pay the figure requested, or he comes back with his head down and they revisit it in either January or next summer. He's not stupid, he won't want to be sitting out even more of a WC season than he's already forced to.

[bbfan1991]

I was only referring to what is probably happening on Twitter now, jeez but I do agree that he should go for only how much Liverpool want and refuse to sell to Arsenal at all costs.

[bbfan1991]

The same is probably being said about Rooney and Bale now mind LOL.

[Jesus.]

After Liverpool expressing publicly what the terms are, if they accept anything below £55m, then they'll look like amateurs. I wouldn't be totally opposed to selling him to real/barca/bayern for a bit less, to get him out of the league, but we're not in need of cash, and he has 3 years left.

[BBfanUSA]

I thought I read that Bale was transferred to Real Madrid already.

so we've got Fenerbahce, Sociedad, Metalist Kharkiv, Pacos de Ferreira or PSV/Zulte then.

PSV would probably be trickiest, Fenerbahce not much better. Let's hope for Pacos.

hopefully not Sociedad, this man would return to haunt us

Going away to Turkey is not something you want to have to do to qualify.

[Drew.]

we need to avoid Fenerbahce

[BBfanUSA]

The first home game that has Clint Dempsey as a Sounder is sold out. Attendance is expected to be 68K+. They added an extra area of 100 seats or so and standing room so it may break a MLS attendance record that was made back in the league's first year 1996 for the MLS Cup Final.

Oh, and the game is taking place August 25th. Although it would've sold out anyway since Seattle and Portland (The visiting club) have a rivalry, live close by each other, and they have passionate fanbases.

Are the playoff round games one leg or two legs?

the play offs are over 2 legs
