Paddy Power don't even make their own gifs, evident by stealing that one from Olly the other week. Can't see them paying to chop down rain forest! Not to mention it's clearly PR suicide...
Well it says 'PP' so I'd say it's from them. They clearly haven't chopped down a rainforest just to write "Come on England" though.

Someone needs to photoshop 'wrong one - Moyes out' in to the picture.

Before his injury, Valencia was one of the best winger in the PL. We shouldn't forgot that.
Yeah totally plus he still is a good player Young on the other hand is a waste of a jersey

Because that is exactly how we ended up with Valencia and Young in the first place.
Exactly, there is no point in replacing average with average, we might as well wait until a truly quality option is available or one of the younger players already at the club is ready.

We also shouldn't forget that the injury did not coincide with him turning shit, since he won player of the season for us after his leg break.
I'm talking about his hip injury caused by a leg shorter than the other.

Did you know that everyone has one leg shorter than the other?

That's a fact you can take to the bank.

I think.
Yes but there is a limit in the difference between your legs. If the difference is too "big" that induce back or hip problems.

We won't be signing him if we think he's average. If we sign him then it will be because we think he can go up another level here. Of course players with limited ability can be still be extremely effective in the right system, especially those who bring pace to a slowish attack.

Can't believe there are people actually wondering whether the rainforest pic is real or not.
That city fan on twitter certainly seems to believe it (or at least love the attention)! The replies are hilarious.

I thought about it and looked into the possibility of doing so with my lawyer, but in the end we came to the conclusion that the huge amount of negative press Paddy Power would get would be too unfair.
:lol: First they're chopping down rainforests to show support the England team, next they are stealing the credit of hardworking gifmakers. Yeah you should cut them some slack, they are going through hard times.

Seems like an issue similar to Martinez/Herrera

So the tax is only on the buyout clause?

That sounds ridiculous.

Threaten to sue and reach a small settlement with them? Money isn't an issue for them like.

You don't pay taxes on the transfer, well not as much. Edit: You pay the TVA 19.6% or something like that.

But if the player pay the buyout clause, it's with his own money, since the player doesn't have the money, Chelsea need to give him the said money which is a remuneration which needs to be declared and taxed, in Spain it's +40%.

So Chelsea need to give 32m + 40% to Diego Costa, in order to pay the clause.

Ah cheers.

Just remembered all of that from the Herrera transfer last season.

He wouldn't cost £60m, even if PSG was interested I reckon £40m would do it.

The story is in the Telegraph too. They said the fee scared us off. I thought we had £200m to spend?

Football, bloody hell.
He wouldn't even want to come back, he's done nothing but criticise his treatment at United since he left. It just won't happen.

Doesn't mean we're comfortable paying £60m on one player...
