Transfer Rumours Latest - Ancelotti, Suarez, Callejon, Bale, Di Maria

1. Ancelotti and Leonardo's ban - ComplicationsGenerally speaking, if a coach wants out, he gets out. And Ancelotti is obviously Madrid's #1 choice (and a good one, I think) and wants out of PSG

I will be INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE if we sign fucking Suarez. Fucking NO. I WILL LEGIT ACT A DAMN FOOL! No. Fuck Him. NO. FUCK HIM AND HIS RACIST MOLE TEETH.

[lovelies]

DiMa. :( I've never found you attractive, but when you're good, you're so fucking good, boy.

When he's good, he's very very good. And when he's bad. he rolls.

*headdesk* that's it. I'm going to bed now.

[lovelies]

And when he's bad. he rolls.

You speak the truth. But at least his rolling is aesthetically more pleasing than Barcelona's Olympic Diving Squad's.

The flip-side: when he's bad, he's so fucking bad...

I mean, if Suarez comes I'm sure we'll all learn to tolerate him somehow (or we'll have someone to turn our ire on and give Lady Edith a break) but,

We also have far more delicious players. Can you handle the temptation?

This is a problem. And I definitely don't want to lose Callejon or any of our other players (even the ones I wouldn't mind seeing sold, because at least they don't have a history of cannibalism, racism, or acting like a persecuted whiner baby) for him.

Perez is allegedly moving forward on Suarez but waiting Cris's contract negotiations until the new coach comes in, can you imagine? "As a welcome gift we got you this guy who bites people! But we wanted to wait to hear your opinion on whether or not we should keep one of the two best players in the world." I'd be wondering what kind of crazytown I'd signed on to. And looking for the gift receipt for Suarez...

Although if Suarez does wind up with us I might have to finally write that fanfic where Mesut Ozil is a vampire.

Been done, bb. But I bet yours is better.

[lovelies]

Seriously? I need this fic in my life!

Some background reading for the transfer season from FourFourTwo:

Told by key participants who prefer to remain anonymous for reasons which will become clear, here is the story of how the transfer rumour mill grinds up its heady swirl of information and disinformation - and how players, agents and clubs use it for their own ends… read more

And a couple of recent quotes from Perez, that gives some context to the current rumblings:

"La idea nuestra es ganar. No sé la del Barça... El nuestro es un modelo económico-deportivo que nos permite ser los que tenemos más ingresos, los que fichamos a los mejores, y eso en teoría nos permitiría ganar más títulos…” (Asked about his football ideology, he answers "Our idea is to win. I don't know about Barca...Ours is a sporting-economic model that allows us to be those with the highest earnings, so that we can sign the best, which in theory allows us to win more titles" And look how well that has worked out for us

It's a relief. I know when he left Chelsea fans were boycotting games and half the squad were relieved (open rebellion from John Terry, among others). Still, Chelsea developed a reputation as a difficult place to be in (Ancelotti aside - who managed those players and the board elegantly) and I didn't like to think our players were particularly difficult in any way - they merely have a more intrusive press.

I liked the reference to Ancelotti. Confirms my impressions of him.

Ty, and yeah, I did think that was an interesting interview (the whole one is here, btw (in Spanish, sorry)). He says on Ancelotti, that as an Italian, he works a lot on defense, but on a human level he is by far the best coach he has ever had. Zlatan has had some interesting things to say lately as well (like here). I've reached a point where I'll be quite sad if Ancelotti is not in Madrid next season

Thank you for the links.

OMG your picture... LMAO

I started reading 5 minutes ago and I'm still laughing at it. :D

Had to comment just to say that!

But, in a nutshell:

Bale: Yes
Suarez: NO!!!
Di Maria: Kinda makes me sad because I loved when he played so well! Despite the diving issue! He was fun to watch. However, I had no fun watching him this season. So a reluctant ... GO
