I never understood why in soccer signings take foreverrrr.

Balo had his physical early yesterday...whats taking so long?

This. Now he is ineligible to play against city on Monday

I read the hang up with this transfer is that Liverpool is outlining very detailed behavior clauses in a stupidly long 5 year deal... Any deal with Balo at this juncture in his career should be no longer than 2 years.

Alexis is trying to push the players to press, some respond, some don't. Arsenal are flat out lost out there..

saw this toward the end of the half...they're not on the same page out there

 

[Kimchi Papi]

eiddy developing that Sith level hate for woody that he had for moyes...

 

[DeadsetAce]

G on...let's go now

Bilbao/Malaga was entertaining but I gotta switch back to Everton/Arsenal

I will make it my business to catch the tail end of that other game though!

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Athletic's Muniain keeps coming at the goal but Malaga's keeper Kameni is stopping him cold. This dude is going to make Malaga forget about the loss of Caballero to City...

Womp.

Wait, he took off Alexis off all people?

Wilshere has that "English Darling" protective aura huh

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Awww damn foul on Athletic's keeper Iraizoz! PK for Malaga.

PK miss but rebound goes in for Santa Cruz...

 

[jewseejay]

alexis off early..all that money..

Shorts werent short enough.

 

[DeadsetAce]

G making an impact. wish they left Alexis in and just dropped him back a bit

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I hope Ernest Valverde doesn't leave Athletic anytime soon. He does a solid job with his club... At some point though, a big club should take a look at him.

Edit - halftime Malaga 1 - Athletic 0

naismith flimsy as a feather

drops at the slightest bit of contact

If Barcelona signed cannibal Suarez (who bites someone almost every season) for 5 I don't see why Balo shouldn't be able to get a contract for the same amount of time.

Microphones pick up everything

Arsene letting the game pass him by

 

[DeadsetAce]

shoot the ******* ball

At times, I can't help but feel Muniain has shown remnants of regression. Had incredibly high hopes in '11.

Isn't Kameni Cameroon's first-choice keeper?

Again, Hannibal has consistently performed on the pitch & has generally been described as a good team mate. He just has a biting problem.

Balo has never been consistent on the pitch & especially in training.

They are 2 very different football players performance wise. You can count on Suarez to perform (& bite), you can't say that about Balo.

Exactly.

I'm down for Team Mario. He's not Ronaldo level, but still one of my favorite footballers. After Memphis, of course.
