Admin Victor 11,024 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2015 Can someone tell me a reliable site to follow the transfer news?Lots of sites collect from various sources but make sure to ignore anything to do with the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Star, Metro, and probably a few others. Sites quote them like gospel but I've never seen any of their rumours come true. Times, Guardian, Independent seem a bit more reliable and cut out most of the bullshit. I also use Gianluca Di Marzio (mainly Italian with some meh English translated blurbs) which mainly focuses on Serie A but any big rumour from anywhere in Europe usually comes up there before it's a done deal.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What Victor failed to mention as well, if you want correct transfer news don't ask a Gunners supporter.

CoachReilly 688 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 also - will transfer talks really step up and start getting finalized when the leagues finish? or when champions league finishes? or when the window actually opens?

Kendrick 4,741 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 also - will transfer talks really step up and start getting finalized when the leagues finish? or when champions league finishes? or when the window actually opens? As soon as the given team is mathematically eliminated from most major competitions that it is involved with. However teams still in the Champions league will have rumours well before they finish (Barca, Bayern, Real, Juve) will always have linked players.

BOOM 8,818 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Stoke City's top-half finish is all but confirmed, thanks to a manager who has spent just £8m in transfer fees since the beginning of last season. Tony Pulis left the Britannia Stadium after reported disagreements over transfer budgets, but Mark Hughes has shown Stoke a different way. Last season Hughes led Stoke to their highest league finish in 39 years. This season he has spent £1.6m on new players, the fee they paid Barcelona for Bojan Krkic. No other Premier League team has spent less than £11m. Hughes is about to match that ninth-place finish, and could yet beat it. Amidst talk of Jose Mourinho, Ronald Koeman and Garry Monk, Hughes has been entirely overlooked in the discussions over the Manager of the Year award. A reminder then that the five clubs directly above Stoke have spent £455m on new players in the last ten months, and the three clubs directly below them each spent at least 17 times as much as Hughes. In the day's of these massive wage budgets and transfer fees, the guy is a genius, even if his reputation isn't the greatest. jRuutu 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/1969-general-football-discussion/page/19/#findComment-217451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendrick 4,741 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No it's Barca vs. Guardiola. Pep has stolen the attention away from his club, something Jepp never did. Also any team would struggle without the width of Ribery, Robben and Alaba. Now everyone gets to see how much Alaba means to our club.

Admin Victor 11,024 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted May 12, 2015 Doesn't even matter any more, everything in the semifinals is now for just that game I believe. Or rather I know it's clean slate at start of semi but commentators mentioned something about the final also not being affected (except by red card).

Yeah when you reach the Finals you get a clean slate because there is no second leg, but reds carry over like you said. I'd just rather see a ref only call a foul when its a foul and not hand out yellows for fun.

Admin Victor 11,024 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thank fuck there's no El Clasico final. It would have been a great game I'm sure, as they always are, but as long as a team like Juventus (no slouches to be fair) can beat Real, there is hope. Do it for Buffon!

Admin Victor 11,024 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah Juve will have to channel their inner 2010 Inter or 2012 Chelsea. I suppose in game is easier than two legs. The Suarez v Evra plus Chiellini subplot is funny but likely to be a dud.

diamond_ace 3,112 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thus ends the fairytale of SC Eibar, gone and probably soon forgotten.

stevo 795 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Paderborn is about to get up from that, they ultimately faltered when the newbie effect sounded off. It's a shame, I really had hoped Hamburg would finish 17th or 18th.

Admin Victor 11,024 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted June 1, 2015 Watched a ridiculously good match yesterday - a straight up playoff for the Serie A Champions League playoff spot. Napoli needed to win, went down 2-0, made it 2-2, played against ten men, went down to ten themselves, missed a penalty and lost 4-2. Hopefully Higuain (scorer of both goals, misser of penalty) doesn't do something stupid now and go to Liverpool. And no idea how Rafa got the Real job after his two Napoli years, especially the second. Anyway, that's almost football done for the season. Just one tiny game on Saturday and I might have to fill the void with Harry Kane and the U21 Euros. Desperate times.

Admin Victor 11,024 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted June 7, 2015 Great game last night. Shame another predictable result (much like Bayern and Real), but I don't think anyone could have played better than Juventus. Barcelona are just on another level. Surely that team has to die eventually, but Puyol's left, Xavi's left, forwards keep on changing, and they're still untouchable most of the time.
