Arsene Wenger @__ArseneWenger

BREAKING - Van Persie signs new two year contract - £30 a month, unlimited calls, 1GB of internet and 500 texts a month. With O2.

 

[Jordinho]

Is this the source of it?

Boris Becker @Becker_Boris
Just heard Van Persie signed 2year deal with ....Arsenal!?

 

[Denmark Spur]

If RVP really had signed a new contract with Le Arse, surely it would be on their OS before the ink was dry

 

[DHSF]

If RVP has signed hopefully that will stop all you fudgers from bloody taking too soon

one minute - RVP will get injured we have nothin to worry about - oh fudge hold up he was injury free and relatively consistent

Next minute - RVP will definitely leave - oh fudgein hell hold up - he just signed for a couple of years whilst we will end up (rightly so) get rid of our best.

Anyways rant over

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Do CFC realise you can only have 25 in the squad ??

For a start both Oscar and Hazard will count as under 21 year old players for the purposes of this season so will not count as part of the 25 man squad

 

[unknown]

not count.. ahh that reminds me!

 

[El Guepardo]

I thought that to be classed as Under 21, and not part of squad, that the player had to have been in the UK for a period of time? In probably wrong though.

 

[Rossi22]

You are, that's the home grown rule you're thinking of.

 

[Jordinho]

- Clubs register a squad of up to 25 players, which must include at least eight 'home-grown' players, at the end of each transfer window.

- Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday"

- Clubs can supplement squad with unlimited number of players under the age of 21.

- Changes can be made only during transfer windows, although in exceptional circumstances (eg goalkeeping injury crisis) moves could be allowed.

- Players loaned to Football League clubs cannot be replaced, but can regain their spot on return to parent club.

That's for the UEFA qualfication to play in the CL/EP.

The requirement for the PL is sqaud is purely the age.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

not count.. ahh that reminds me!

sorry that is what I meant, I forgot the "not"

 

[SPURS]

and trying for Victor Moses too, I think they need another midfielder they only currently have 16 on the books..

absolutely pathetic and ridiculous, they dont earn this money through the club, how is it right...

:-k

Manipulating FFP, just like Emirates Marketing Project and their 'legit' *wink* Ethidad sponsorship.

Chelsea need to meet FFP and sign players and suddenly they have a new 3 year deal with Russian *cough cough* Energy giant Gazprom!!!!!

WOW!

Gazprom last week also confirmed an agreement with UEFA to become an official partner of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup for the next three seasons

 

[SPURS]

Just got this top secret memo, directly from Roman's desk:

Ha ha! Very funny.

The weird thing is they seem to be buying a job lot of Brazilians for mega money.

First they bought a few Belgians: Courtious, Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne

Now it's Brazilians. Back in the day it was French speakers!! It's funny!
