Meh, if that is all they are doing. I don't really like collars to much so I'll stick with the 'older' one.

Sources in Swansea believe that Neil Taylor has rejected a move to Newcastle and could join Everton instead.

The left sided midfielder, who can also cover at left back, was a pivotal part of Swansea’s promotion campaign last season but Newcastle triggered a release clause in his contract which now allows Taylor to leave the Welsh side.

A product of the Manchester City academy, Taylor spent much of his early professional career at Wrexham before moving to Swansea last season, a move which saw him make his international debut for Wales against Croatia.
Taylor could sign for as little as £1m.

Did Everton finally get someone over Newcastle? Still isn't a forward.

Did Everton finally get someone over Newcastle? Still isn't a forward.

James Perch v.2, The the Mackems of Liverpool are welcome to him, we all know Ashley was just going to purchase him as a "back up", wait until there's 6 hours left in the transfer window, sell Enrique and go "Hey, sorry guys, had no time left to find a new starting left back."

Mark Douglas says it's not true, anyway. We'll sign him.

LOL Freddy Adu. Kid came on and made a instant fucking impact, then clowned Panama some more. He looked like one of the USA's best players with ease.

EXCLUSIVE: Sanchez refuses to board plane to Manchester for City talks

Alexis Sanchez turned into a non-flying winger when he refused to get on a plane to join Manchester City in a stunning £30 million deal.

Chilean star Sanchez was cleared to leave his country’s training camp to speak to City about a move to the Premier League after the megabucks outfit stepped ahead of Barcelona and Manchester United with the best bid.

However Sanchez rocked his club Udinese by telling them he would not go as he does not consider City to be his favoured option - he would rather join United or speak to Barca to find out their plans.

The drama was played out at Santiago airport where media gathered to see Sanchez fly off - only to find out he had put the block on the transfer.

Sanchez thought he was going to speak to Champions League Barca, but their offer of a player plus cash was rejected by Udinese who preferred City’s hard cash over the Spanish package or United’s £27 million offer.

However the exciting attacking star has now decided to have his say in the transfer tug-of-war and his action leaves United and Barca trying to persuade Udinese to take less money.

Barca only want to commit £22 million to the deal and have offered a selection of swaps, but their fringe men like Bjoan Krkic, Thiago Alcantara and Jeffren have said ‘no thanks’ to Udinese.

United are sitting comfortably in the background, still confident that their straight-cash deal will win the day - although time is also a factor in the race.

Sanchez is due to play for Chile in the Copa America which starts in a week. His national federation do not want to risk him appearing in case he is injured, while Udinese want him sold by then to spend the money.

Just happening... I still want Wes more, but i would def mess my pants if true!!!

15 minutes in and Seattle is all over the Red Bulls.

Does anyone know how much it costs//what packages there are available to get EPL games on TV? I think its Fox Sports Soccer Plus, but Im not sure. Me and my friends moving into our new place in a few months and were about to get some sort of soccer package.

 

[1ke]

I fell the same way. I always liked PSG.

Seattle blew there 2 goal lead and New Yawk tied it up with half an hour to play.

 

[1ke]

And New York blew another 2 goals in truly a pathetic fashion.

Pretty safe to say New York needs a new goalie though.

Levesque def gets props for his goal celebration!!!

Haven't watched much of the MLS but is every game this packed? 46,000+ Looks good for the MLS

I think most teams have between 15K - 20K in attendance each game, but it's probably more for teams like NY and LA.

Seattle is known for having the best fanbase in the MLS. Plus they play at Qwest, so it has the capacity to hold that many. Alot of the soccer specific stadiums being built are topping out at 25k. Seattle just living up to its rep. I wonder if Prod was there?
