From BBC Sport gossip page:

- Monaco have signed Porto midfielders Joao Moutinho, 26 and James Rodriguez, 21, for a combined fee of £60m.

Bargain? Over-priced? Do PSG now have a serious rival?

Wow, where did you hear that Azzy?

I think Monaco will be a real rival to PSG, the fact the players they can attract wont have to pay tax on their wages is a massive appeal to big names. For instance, Zlatan pays half his wages at PSG to the taxman, therefore at Monaco he'd earn 50% more!

Both sets of tactics sent.

Good luck Marky and Gregers

Unless there's been a big talking point overnight, I never go back and read previous pages

I think it's a great signing for Monaco. Moutinho is a quality CM, and Rodriguez instantly becomes the best winger in Ligue 1. Question is, who will they be playing with? Monaco still have to spend another £100-£150m to match PSG.

And there's still this tax question hanging over them too, or was that resolved?

BBC Gossip have put a rumour up that Monaco want Kompany too now.

They've already been linked with Tevez (who would probably go because France is closer to Argentina), Evra, Sagna & Falcao (where they will pay the 56m clause I think).

End of Season Awards page. All managers get to vote, so please have a look and get your votes in

The ZZZ Best Feedback of the Season Award

Great award.

Can I vote???

And every manager who votes gets to add £2m to their budget once we confirm that we have their vote

So can I ??

You can if you want ZZZ, but we're not giving you £2m

You can if you want ZZZ, but we're not giving you £2m

Why not? Its only pretend monies, it has less value than Monopoly monies.
I can then build a savings account for my long awaited return

1 down 31/45

The French FA told Monaco to move their base of operations to France didn't they. So they have to pay tax

Cup final tactics up. Votes to me by a certain point I'm unsure of

I suppose we should have a sheep, shouldn't we?

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague 1m R.Madrid willing 2 stop the transfer of Neymar 2 Barcelona with 100m euros. At the Camp Nou, confident he will honour the agreement with FCB

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague 51s FCB have paid 10m as part of transfer.RM and FCB negotiating with Santos in Brazil.Player prefers FCB. RM making it all more expensive 2 FCB

Anyone else think Neymar will be a monumental flop?

Anyone else think Neymar will be a monumental flop?

I am saying flop until proven otherwise.

He has some magic moments but when I've seen full games he hasn't been dominant.

I think Real Madrid would be happy with their work if they forced Barca to pay more than they wanted to for Neymar. It would be a bonus if they signed Neymar.

Could be a new Di Stefano if Real snatch him away from Barca after it seemingly having been agreed.

Obviously, a Brazilian, mohawked Di Stefano. Who isn't as good.

He has torn Brazilian defences apart, but that is the point, it is in Brazil.

There is a lot more money, so the best players are staying for longer, like Dede, and the league is improving all the time

However, I'm still to be convinced it is that strong to make Neymar so expensive.

But I think he is a special player, Spain will suit him and he will be a huge success, if I was pushed.

Aye, I really couldn't see him hacking it in the PL, but in Spain where he'll get protection from refs as a player of RM or Barca

I don't get the clamour for the wish for him to be a flop, do we wish to see people who have such mind blowing talent upon the ball such as him or the likes of Grant Holt (Olly don't answer this).
I see it week in week out with the parents of other boys in my sons team, the coach has them practising close control of the ball for at least half the session and all the parents do is moan that they should be learning how to kick the ball upfield and positions. That's why we're 20 years behind the continent.

Viva, is that you?

I'm not clamouring for him to be a flop, tis a massive amount of money however

sodhat wrote:I suppose we should have a sheep, shouldn't we?

Yes we really should!

It is a huge amount of money but I suspect that both clubs perhaps have the belief and the knowledge a little more than us on if they think he could make it. But of course we play pretend management games and own Fifa13 so we're all superior in knowledge to two of the biggest clubs in the worlds scouting systems.

Why cant we come up with our own unique style of play rather than copying other styles which will be out of date before we reap any rewards.

I am glad that is being acknowledged. Scouts don't sit at desks long enough to access Wikipedia and YouTube, so how can they possibly judge a player in the same level detail as we do.

And both clubs have wasted vast amounts of money on flops before. Nobody is infallible.

That said, yes they obviously have better insight and ability than me, however it doesn't take the interest out of a debate on the subject.

Unless a new v2 rule is being enforced that only people employed in the industry of question can state an opinion

Bull did you get Hero's password or something?

Jeez man

Ha well I win all arguments in that case with my u7 manager role!

Sorry Hero but that was a very Bull-esque post

GSC has a point.

I can't recall him saying that he wants him to be a flop.

He was asking the question whether we think he will be. Good forum posting to spark a debate, and something you should be encouraging Hero

I can't think of any questions. I think I've hit the sheep wall.

I need a job before I return to v2 now

I couldn't find the 'wags finger and tuts loudly' smiley for this post btw

Look, there it is ^


Sod had it

Neymar and Messi could be an all great duo. Whether Neymar is prepared to play 2nd fiddle to Messi will be interesting though. Ibra and Eto'o weren't and I suspect Villa has had enough too

It's more the parents that get on my wick but the similarities of novices thinking they know more than experts rankled me. I've got a coach in that's far more qualified than anyone we've ever had, he ensures that every kid immediately as they turn up for training has a ball each and they spend as much time as possible with that ball learning how to control and move it, but all I hear from the touch lines are armchair idiots wanting them to stand in lines to practice shooting or just have a match every week.

If I have a kid, he's playing CB or DM

On that note though my son's going to a trial at Everton next week.

You only need three phrases, max, to be a good coach:

"Get it in the mixer!"
"Get your head on it!"
"You're a Frak disgrace, ref!"

Or GK. everyone loves keepers
