[#1 Spur]

two questions i have wrt falcao:

1. why would he sign a new contract if he really wanted to leave porto?
2. why would porto be willing to sell when they have just got him to sign said contract?

The answer to both questions is money.

The answer to both questions is money.

the first one i can see, as it gives falcao more money if he doesn't leave.

however, the second part seems like a problem. yes, at some price they would sell him, but that is almost always true of anyone. the real problem is that the price is almost certainly higher now. if people weren't willing to buy him when his release clause was lower, why would they suddenly be willing to pay considerably more now?

Christ, this is hilarious stuff. PMSL.

This. I mean for fucks sake..I go away to Berlin..bother to pull myself away from my drunken daze to see what is going on in this here forum...and what do I find?

Nothing happening so far...which equates to either we're going to sign Falcao because he was literally the last named hinted at that still fits into blue and FUCKING yellow...or we're not signing anyone ever again for as long as Levy lives.

Nobody is even reading this anyway. It's 4 minutes to 4 AM in Berlin, which is an hour ahead of you lot anyways..and A&C will probably do his round-up in a couple of hours as well, without even reading this.

Fuck it.

C.O.Y.S.

Was there any itk on Keano going to LA Galaxy?

Not one dude. Read into that what you will. If you need help, they get blindsided by these types of things more than a QB for a shit NFL side. And in about six months, somebody will rewrite history when nobody has the time to check on it and say "ITK X was the first to call Keane"

And just for the record, Twitter nailed it
