Oops, I'm sure I'm not the only one that did this but I sent this as a tip yesterday afternoon and my wording definitely wasn't clear that it would have been the only legal one once the new restrictions went in to place. My bad.

I get that but I just don't think it really screws Bayern up that much. They will not sell him somewhere else, he won't sign for anyone other than Bayern, and he will be able to sign a pre-contract in January to leave for free in the summer.

Barca crumbled in large part because their defense was a joke and Valdes sucks ass. As long as Bayern's central defense has more speed than Puyol and Mascherano, they won't be as easy to pick apart on the counter.

They have to replace him next summer with nothing though.

Well he's still going to add him it's just a matter of this year or next. I think Pep is okay with investing elsewhere and rolling with the attack they have. In theory they have so many obscenely talented attacking players that the lack of a world class striker for one year shouldn't matter. If they can spend that…

People seem to think they'll be converting Shaqiri into a striker.

To be fair they didn't have a choice with Gotze, his release clause was triggered, had no say in it. But man oh man are you right about it being suicidal. In a league with strict financial rules (and a HUGELY checkered financial past that should have taught Dortmund to not bet on the short term CL success) turning…

Yeah it probably hasn't happened that two marquee players have moved on a Bosman to the same club in the same summer as a result of illegal collusion, no. But that's more a byproduct of the fact that elite players rarely run down their contracts to that point. But that's a product of the fact that they have so much…

Are you kidding me? That's exactly what the Galacticos era was. Figo, Zizou, Ronaldo, Beckham.

Yeah you're right Greg the NBA, where players' contracts are traded just to get them off the books and because people love an expiring contract, or the NFL where contracts mean dick all because they will always be restructured or cut to work around the cap, are much better environments for the players.

That seems to be missing the ugly ass jellybean Cayenne that outsells all those.

40% of their sales are those ugly ass Cayenne SUVs. You can keep making luxury sports cars if stupid white women are buying the SUV in droves to keep everything financially healthy.

Yes yes I know everyone has separate funds but I think the overarching societal issue is valid - everyone loves throwing money at sports but every university is seeing its budget slashed and is passing the savings on to the tuition paying students (or, more accurately, the already bloated loan system). I know that…

Oregon tuition goes up 3.5% next year, and the school actually asked for a 6% increase. Priorities bitch.

I've never been a coffee drinker. Sometimes I like the taste and will get a super unhealthy one if I'm with someone who's going to a coffee shop or something, but otherwise, no interest. I have never felt the impact of caffeine, though I know I'm getting the negative side effects, I've just never felt the upper aspect…

Who's getting suspended? You guessed it:

Presuming it meant that last year the "July" metric covered the last week of June for some reason too, hence the calendar shift.

No poofters?

Well it was in English, so why bother if Regis can't understand it?
