Drogba and Anelka

[Hansern]

Apperantly released by Shanghai because of wages.

GET ON IT BRENDAN!!,!,!,!,!

 

[furyoo]

Fucking hell. We'd be mad not to go for them.

 

[doctor_mac]

Free fucking agents!!

 

[mark1975]

Get on it now, we're saved! Hallelujah and all that shit.

(we'll end up with Owen)

 

[doctor_mac]

Though isn't Dogbreath on about 300 grand a week or something horrendous?

 

[Frogfish]

Sign, Sign, Sign (but not for what Shanghai were paying them - which was something ridiculous).

They didn't play for Shanghai in their 0-0 draw today (match was on TV).

 

[Cerberus]

FUCKING SIGN DROGBA NOW!

 

[Markeh]

fucking hell I was thinking about dogballs and anelka earlier

so weird

 

[Red Mullet]

Depends if it's China Yuan.

 

[furyoo]

Surely since they're free, the 5m for Dempsey can be used to pay their hugely inflated wages?

I'm sure Anelka would like to be back. Dear God, at the very least we should get him.

 

[Hansern]

I'd love Anelka back if we cant get Drogba

 

[mark1975]

Drogba would be a fantastic addition, even at his age, I'd rather have him than Anelka. At least Drogba looked like he had something left in the tank.

 

[doctor_mac]

Fuck Anelka, Dogbreath would be amazing.

 

[Rael]

Big Trouble In Little China

 

[Cerberus]

Fuck Anelka, Dogbreath would be amazing.

This times infinity. He fits the 4-3-3 perfectly.

 

[furyoo]

Isn't Frogfish in Shanghai. You know what to do!

 

[Cerberus]

Big Trouble In Little China

Big Didier out of Little China

 

[the count]

The fee for Dempsey and his wages would have amounted to about £8-£9m.
That should be enough of a carrot for a years contract.
Don't see it happening though

.... on my way out the door. Have to find out which brothel they are in though.

Oops wife heard that .... I've been banned from going out tonight 🙁 Monday then 😉

Yes
Yes
Unfortunately... probably Yes as well.

 

[FMSPWR]

Apparently they can't sign as they were released outside the transfer window - not sure if that's true, just something I read earlier on Twitter

That doesn't make sense. So they'll be out of a job for the whole season?

 

[doctor_mac]

I can't see how that would make the slightest difference. Not shooting the messanger like.

 

[Hansern]

Nah, free agent is a free agen I think

 

[mark1975]

Yeah it's two fold, the laws protect the player, otherwise you'd have spiteful fuckers all over the shop doing it.

 

[furyoo]

Are the Chinese up in arms over this? Have they even played a single match?

 

[Fallon]

Surely if we were to offer Drogba prem football, as a main option, at about £120k (Carroll and Adam's wages gone should cover that) a week he'd have to take it? It's all well and good looking for £2-300k, but whats the point if it only lasts a couple of months.

At the moment, they haven't been released from the club.

Its just pure rumours that they might be leaving due to boardroom power struggle as the billionaire who funds their wages apparently wants the shareholders to give him majority control over the club given his heavy investments to the club.

"Reports say that under a 2007 deal, Zhu's 28.5 percent stake would rise to 70 percent if he invested more than 150 million yuan (US$23.6 million) in the club.

Zhu has reportedly spent about 600 million yuan."

 

[Red Astaire]

Didn't Anelka manage them? lol - But yeah - Get at least one of them in. Drogba would be aces!

Nothing like a good old Chinese boardroom struggle. Will there be kungfu?
