Re: Off Season Puntsphere Rumours.
What i ment was that he would get play time at Madrid, everyone knows that but because he's seen Owen he might doubt his chances and because they havn't won anything for 2 years its not really in keeping with his dreams to win more trophy's. He has a far bigger chance of winning the Champions League with Chelsea than Madrid.

Barca, Juve or Milan could afford him, maybe. Real's finances aren't the best at the moment. It really is only Chelsea who could afford him without batting an eyelid. It's all according where he wants to go. Obviously Liverpool would be more receptive to an overseas bid but Chelsea are clear favourites, atm.
Agreed.
I only suggest Barca as they are on a bit of a roll just now, La Ligawise and may wish to consolodate this.
Tho' as you say the capital expenditure may be a problem. However if they could spread the debt who knows.
As an aside t'Hoops have now removed the players, as assets, from their books. They reduced it by £8,000,000 a year and the financial year just gone (FYE 30/06) was the last year to get the player / asset value to nil.
This to me is a good thang.

He's already won the Champions League mate, he wants domestic honours.

I know, i ment again. If you think Chelsea have a bigger chance than Real in winning their respected leagues.
Barca are far stronger than Real and the Real team isn't gaining any years.
Just what i think anyways :unsure:

As a purist, I have to disagree :lol:
However, I didn't know they were doing that. It's pretty difficult, as a plc, to be able to change policy like that. The shareholders usually cause problems and vote against it. Good on them tho' as it will mean that the P&L will be more representative of how the club's doing as a whole.
A few years ago Man Utd were the only quoted English club to be able to represent their players like this, the financial folk o other clubs wanted their liquidity ratios boosted to encourage investmen. Tho' this did change recently - and prior to the Glazing incident come to think of it. Wonder if it's related ... .
Btw, if I had to choose and it couldn't be Man Utd, I'd want him to go to Barca. They'd be awesome.

As a purist accountant or football fan :blink: (Feck I forgot to put the word which in that sentence, maybe she didn't notice)
To me not having the players "value" included is more realistic. Tho' I can see why accountants would want to.
Disingenuous bar stewards.

Re: Off Season Puntsphere Rumours.
It appears that Gerrard Stevens is now staying at Liv'pool. According to Rick Parry there was a bit of a misunderstanding, but he has apologised and they are all pals again.
