English Football 2016-2017: NOW WITH 100% LESS FANERIO - Page 3 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

yeah must be some fat bloke bias at work there.

or maybe market thinks there is a 300m warchest about to be opened up. otherwise it's hard to imagine why mun is all of a sudden going from Soton level to better than Arse.

i expect its bc mourinho tends to boost his team's immediate title equity by signing very old men on very massive wages

downside is that this depresses title chances far into the future, but thats not a problem for jose because he will have been sacked (possibly in disgraceful circumstances) by then and someone else will take the blame

Definitely some imminent Zlatan in that price which is obviously a massive market overreaction.

Why do people care so much about his wage for one whole year with no transfer fee? It's peanuts In the grand scheme of things.

markt must've also forgot that mun ran good last year and the gap between them and arse is actually much bigger than the table implies.

I suspect his signing on fee will be the massive figure, his wages not so much

What do people think a reasonable o/u for pl-only Zlatan goals is this year assuming he signs with utd?

in, in view of Gareth McAuley's goat pulis-style goal for norniron today.

edit: McAuley's career is an even better version of Vardy (minus the league win) imo:

The pay he got was in full for what he got the previous months. Kinda hope it happens again just for the craic.

From what you say it seems that he was let go because he was doing **** all when he was 'working' for them - so it seems reasonable they keep giving him the same money now.
