I'd be surprised if Yaya plays in ACON this year he's been thinking about retiring for sometime now last one they was turmoil in Ivory Coast.

I wouldn't,Yaya does what's best for Yaya.

Think Whiney Wenger is going to have a coronary!! :-0

Not yet but when FFP is ruled illegal by the courts then there is every chance.

Quite funny to see "The Happy One" taking the piss out of him over this.

This a piss take? lol

How is us loaning Lampard any different then Arsenal loaning players, NYCFC need the player to train and play while they are getting set up, has Arsenal never loaned players out? And the fact that Arsenal loaned 2 players last year, didn't paid all of Kim Kallstrom wages despite Whinger demanding that the loaning team should always pay 100% of the wages and rumours that they were only paying 50% of Viviano's. Im pretty sure Arsenal has loaned out players and paid their wages in full. He is a bitter prick.

Lampard's head looks a bit large for Milner's body

A certain T Henry from an MLS club recently comes to mind! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16361067

Obviously he is indeed a hypocrite of the highest order!

How can it be a way of getting around FFP its a loan FFS! The man is fucking obsessed with us!

For me, the reaction of Wenger and others to our loan of Lampard highlights so much more in a wider context of how many view our club

The attitude seems to be 'it involves city, we haven't seen it before, don't know much about it, don't quite understand it, must be dodgy, must be against FFP....' before they even know anything about it

I would be staggered if we ever take a player on loan from one of our 'other' clubs without paying wages in full as we know that UEFA would never accept it on any other basis

We aren't buying through one club to loan to another for all kinds of reasons.

We aren't dodging putting an upfront payment through MCFC by putting it through another club to then loan him in. Partly because lampard didn't cost a fee but again, partly because UEFA wouldn't let it pass. And because the other federations have rules too, especially MSL

As it happens, in the Lampard instance I suspect we didn't even plan it from the outset, not that it particularly matters whether we did or not

So why can't the wider world see that a player that was always moving on a free end of contract transfer will play for MCFC for a while during which time we will pay his salary then NYC for a while when they pay his salary ? Why can't they see there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Or is there seriously a view that we might only pay say half his wages whilst NYC pay the rest and save what over the 6 months ? Certainly significantly less than £1M. To avoid FFP ? Really ???????

Arsehole Wanker can fuck off. Just because he'll be coming on loan doesn't mean he's not home grown you uber ****.

 

[moomba]

Even if NYCFC paid all of Lampards wage that'd only be £2.5-3.5m over the course of his loan. And it will allow us to offload another midfielder on loan or permanent.

So don't see what anyone could complain about.

If NYCFC buy Messi and loan him to us then sure, have a moan. But wait until you have something to moan about surely.
