I heard they were EYEING a move for him, not weighing.

It all depends on the TRANSFER WAR CHEST Benítez will get.

Newcastle are weighing up a move for Angers' central midfielder Cheikh N'Doye. Cracking signing for the championship if true.

Forgive me if I've missed something, but where are West Ham getting all the money for their recent bids?

New TV deal and they're probably relying on a bigger revenue coming from the Olympic Stadium.

Karius for 4.7M is a huge steal for Liverpool. Good job, Klopp.

Bayer Leverkusen have signed Mainz central midfielder Julian Baumgartlinger.

Yeah, Ben Arfa's pretty much on the move to Barca. His representatives are in advanced conversations with the club.

Thanks guys, that's been great help. I'll be looking to start the UM and when I'm finished (seems pretty long to be honest) I'll check into the Marvel NOW stuff.

Firmino is phenomenal. It's a travesty that he's not in the national team.

18-year-old Rennes attacking midfielder Ousmane Dembelé has joined Borussia Dortmund for a fee between 15~20 million euros. Yet another wonderful prospect for them.

Hey guys, I just finished reading Civil War and I tought it was pretty rad, but I'm seriously doubtful about whether I should start from that point. Any solid point to begin RAFA COMIC BOOK JOURNEY~?

Newcastle is quite the rollercoaster, eh.

HORNETS YES GO HORNETS MARVIN WILLIAMS YES GO HORNETS YES GO.

GO!

Unless you're a Nets fan then you want them both out as a soon as possible. Celtics for having our pick and the Hornets for having our future PG. >_>

I don't know who I want to win the Hornets/Heat series. On one hand the Hornets are playing so hard and I love Lin and Marvin Williams, on the other hand I think the Heat could challenge the Cavs and I'm not sure the Hornets can (Love would be a handful even if Williams can guard LeBron and Kemba guards Irving). 

I'm loving the East matchups this year. The West has been so boring in comparison, business should pick up in the 2nd round though.

ROOT FOR RAFA, ROOT FOR LIN, ROOT FOR MAH MAN KEMBA

BUZZ CITY BABYYYYYYY

Not in current markets.

Still wouldn't pay that. Such a huge risk to spend that kind of money based on potential.

Renato Sanches is class. But 46 for the guy is just so silly.

Newcastle have been linked with the likes of Kamil Glik, Mitchell Dijks and Sime Vrsaljko. But we need to stay up first.

That guy from Tunisia is pretty cool.

They're my team in the East (Celts second), and they better keep winning and kick out the Heat!

We're winning in 6, I think we figured their gameplan out. Today we were pretty 13/14-esque, not giving anything on D and creating solid, passing-oriented offense. LINSANITY BAY BAYYYYYYY

Hornets won. That fact alone made the playoffs worth it.

I didn't watch today's game, but usually Perez and Wijnaldum achieve about 0.2 of a normal players impact on a game, did Gini actually do something?

Not really much but I like the fact that he was holding the ball better than Perez and trying to be active. That went a long way to me.

I think that LO TIEMPO DE RAFA~! is starting to figure out his ideal starting 11. With Wijnaldum back on the left, it felt like the team actually had 11 players instead of Ayoze, who just like his fellow teammate Papiss Cissé, has a bit of a struggle with the ball.

Vurnon Anita is a god.

I think Tioté woke up from his 4 year coma.

Townsend scores so Roy can put him on the plane!

Don't forget the assist!

No Janmaat and Taylor for the rest of the season, please. No, forever.

Carroll is good. And even though he scored two thirds of his hat-trick from headers, people need to stop thinking that just because he's tall you have to pump the ball inside the box all the time. It didn't work like that when he was at Newcastle. I STILL BELIEVE IN WOR ANDY
