They don't. I just circumvent
Well.even though your track record is shit, it's still better than Hanserns so you'd have been all right
Rosco is a great poster, always has been and is always good to debate with - he was very kind to me on quite a few occasions. Without him, this site might not even be around anymore.
But as SE said, the Rosco we all know and respect has been trolling a lot these past months, Picking fights, insulting, and generally being sarcastic most of the time. Is this a Facebook esque manipulation of our emotions? It's out of character, from what I knew anyway.
mate please stop interrupting these threads to win an argument, come have some fun with us instead. Along with the post from Single rider, I say it with much respect - and I don't give that easily.

Its nice to know you almost approve even though your opinion is utterly meaningless to me.
Joey is better
I wonder if there's some head honcho at Barca who might fuck this all up.
Apparently Rangers had agreed to sign Jon Hartson when the main man saw him walking around the complex with his top off and said 'I'm not fucking paying seven million fucking quid for that fat cunt'.
I mean if I had 75m quid and the dude I was buying couldn't even play for 4 months because the entire world hates him I might think twice.

63m is shit...surely can't be...
I suspect that means it's 63m & add ons take it 75m.
The echo know what side their breads buttered & would give the higher figure if the club wanted them to.
It also makes more sense to have a lower figure in the mainstream so that it doesn't dilute bargaining power & also makes it seem to the sponsors we have made a loss to keep the club's image intact.
Echo the only one I'd take any notice of.
That sounds nothing like a buyout clause being met
[article]Luis Suarez: Barcelona will meet Liverpool striker's release clause
By Ben Smith
BBC Sport
Barcelona have told Liverpool they will meet the release clause in striker Luis Suarez's contract.
The clause is understood to be about £75m, and Liverpool are not prepared to sell the 27-year-old for less.
After "productive" talks with Barcelona this week, the Reds are trying to establish if Chile forward Alexis Sanchez will move in part-exchange.
Uruguay international Suarez is serving a four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup.

World Cup 2014: Uruguay's Luis Suarez bites Italy's Giorgio Chiellini
Barcelona are willing to include Sanchez as part of the deal, but if the Chile forward opts to stay, Liverpool are prepared to sell Suarez in a straight deal.
Suarez, who joined the club for £22.7m from Ajax in 2011, has four years remaining on his contract at Anfield.
Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre spent much of Wednesday in discussions with senior Barcelona officials in London.
"The talks held were productive," a senior Liverpool source told BBC Sport. "There are sensible expectations on both sides.
"Further talks and discussions will take place but no deal has yet been finalised."
Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on Wednesday: "This year we are going to restructure the team in depth and we are working on that.
"We have been working on that since February, but I can't reveal things we are doing.
"We have to be discreet - we can't give clues to other teams.

Fifa spokeswoman announces Suarez's punishment
"We do have a lot of negotiations at a very advanced stage, but the World Cup is going on. People are speculating about a lot of players at the World Cup, but there's a lot of different factors."
Asked about Suarez, he said: "He's a great player, a global star and we want him to play as well as he's playing up to now. I'm speaking as a football fan.
"He's a player who needs to rebuild himself and get back to playing football."
Suarez apologised on Monday for biting Chiellini, after which Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said: "Suarez has shown he is humble enough to admit an error, which is very important.
"Everyone knows Luis is an excellent player, everyone knows last season he played in various positions in attack, but everyone also knows he is a Liverpool player."
Bartomeu described the player's apology as "honourable" and "good for football".
"He did something wrong and it's everybody in football's responsibility, whether it's Liverpool or others, to help him to go ahead and press on with his football career. It's not easy to admit your mistakes," Bartomeu said.
Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who completed his move to Barcelona from Sevilla on Tuesday, said: "The fact he has had the character and the strength to go in front of everyone and say sorry says a lot about him as a person."[/article]

I think you should change your username to Hamez in anticipation of our new number 7.
Ha. If we sign him, I certainly will.
The £63m figure comes from the reports on Catalan TV last night. That's it, anyone reporting it is taking it from that source, whether it's true or not.
But luckily the more credible sources are saying it's £75m.
