And will increase our bargaining power. MA is a sly cunt.

So a German club nobody's ever heard of manages to scrape together 8m Euros. Meanwhile one of the (allegedly) richest clubs in the world offers fuck all yet wants the player and his club to take them seriously. Fuck me, send in the clowns. Scrape together 8m? In spite of Hoffenheim being one of the richest clubs in Germany... Whatever. Still never heard of 'em.

Not going to Hoffenheim?? Hoffenheim läuft die Zeit davon – Ben Arfa-Transfer geplatzt > 05.08.2010 - 09:56 - Stephan Kläsener Hoffenheim läuft die Zeit davon – Ben Arfa-Transfer geplatzt ©Teamshoot Relevante Links Vereine * TSG Hoffenheim Spieler * Hatem Ben Arfa * Ilkay Gundogan Die TSG Hoffenheim hatte sich eigentlich vorgenommen, kräftig auf dem Transfermarkt zuzuschlagen. Vor allem für die Offensive hatte man Verstärkungen angekündigt. Nachdem der Großteil der Saisonvorbereitung verstrichen ist, haben die Kraichgauer lediglich Löwen-Nachwuchsstürmer Peniel Mlapa unter Vertrag genommen. Die Zeit rennt nun. „Mindestens zwei“ Offensivspieler will 1899-Coach Ralf Rangnick noch holen. Bei den Wunschspielern ist man allerdings auf Ganit gestoßen. Zuletzt bemühte man sich um den französischen Nationalspieler Hatem Ben Arfa. Die Verhandlungen wurden aufgenommen, 1899 soll rund fünf Millionen Euro geboten haben. Laut Informationen des ‚kicker’ hat sich der Transfer allerdings zerschlagen. Ebenso wie der von André Schürrle. Laut Manager Ernst Tanner handele es sich um „interessante Spieler“. „Aber auf solche Namen hsben wir keinen Zugriff.“ Zuletzt wurden auch der VfL Wolfsburg und der VfB Stuttgart mit Ben Arfa in Verbindung gebracht. Ebenso aussichtslos verhält es sich bei Ilkay Gündogan, der für das offensive Mittelfeld kommen sollte. Gündogan hatte Interesse signalisiert, aber der 1. FC Nürnberg stellt sich trotz einer Offerte über fünf Millionen Euro quer. „Es gibt kein Angebot für Ilkay, und wenn eins käme, würde es uns nicht mehr interessieren“, sagte Club-Manager Martin Bader. Es scheint, als liefe den Hoffenheimern langsam aber sicher die Zeit davon. Verwandte Themen: - Ben Arfa auf dem Weg: Reichen Hoffenheim fünf Millionen? - 04.08.2010

Trust me there is a ton of stuff lying around on old 8-track. At a rough guess I'd say about between 30-50. He was notorious for recording 16-17 tracks and releasing 8-9. Billboard reported last week that Jackson had been at work on both a new pop album, his first since 2001's Invincible, and an instrumental album of classical music. Veteran engineer and producer Bruce Swedien, a longtime Jackson and Quincy Jones colleague who worked on Off the Wall and Thriller, says he and Jackson had "experimented" with classical music but had "a bunch of things in the works" in more of a pop vein. "There were pieces of music that I think would have been wonderful." Swedien, whose book In the Studio With Michael Jackson arrives July 27, describes one unreleased song, Don't Be Messin' Around, as "a medium-tempo piece, with Jackson playing piano. And he does it well." Others point to older recordings. Tommy Mottola, formerly head of Sony Music, Jackson's record company, says the singer accumulated a lot of material that never left the studio. And Queen guitarist Brian May revealed on his website after the superstar's death that he and Freddie Mercury had recorded tracks at Jackson's home. Sony says Jackson had been in talks for eight months about a 30th anniversary edition of Off theWall that would pair him with other stars, as with the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller. The label says it has no plans to unveil new or repackaged songs. That hasn't discouraged speculation. "Of course they're going to put stuff out," says veteran music critic J.D. Considine, who writes for The Globe and Mail in Toronto. "I would be extraordinarily surprised if we didn't have some kind of elaborate box set in time for Christmas." Former Spin and Vibe editor Alan Light would advise anyone seeking to represent Jackson's work, particularly the unreleased music, "to be careful what context it's presented in." When rapper Notorious B.I.G. died, "songs were rebuilt and reconstructed around scraps. You can do that, but Michael Jackson was a perfectionist. "I'd argue it wouldn't serve his memory or his creative legacy to just dump stuff out there." But Mottola says that while Sony "packaged and repac

http://lesac.wordpress.com/ The crap he DID release was bad enough. Err, with a career as long as his and with the amount of time spent in studios there is easily 2/3 albums worth of unreleased songs. As to the quality who knows. The other thing is that he was a notorious perfectionist so I'd wager there is plenty of good stuff unreleased that perhaps didn't meet his exacting and mad standards. I'd buy a remix album of the big tracks if some name mixers were involved.

Think Man C will finish in the top four. They've had the worst pre season I can remember a club having. Strong team out last night and deservedly hammered. They hardly ever try for more than 1/2 an hour in games, so didn't expect much pre-season tbh.

Don't really take something with Soccer in the title seriously.

It's Wigan apparently.

Translation from Eurosport. Ben Arfa: meeting imminent A meeting will be held in Marseille on Thursday or Friday about the future of Hatem Ben Arfa, who is not retained by the OM. The player gives preference to a departure to Newcastle. So far, the English club has made a loan offer with a purchase option considered "ridiculous" internally. The content of the proposal is currently blocking this destination in the eyes of the Olympian Club. The only club that has made an offer to date is Hoffenheim. It is suitable for leaders Marseille, around 8 million euros, but the German club has yet to reach agreement with Ben Arfa on its particular circumstances. He must convince the young prodigy especially as the destination will suit him. "We absolutely want," said recently the assistant coach Peter Zeidler.

Done. Seems I was automatically on it anyway.

best? really? He can put it about a bit and get Caroll on for the last 20 min. We're looking at a 3-0 or worse anyway so it's neither here nor there. What a change in expectation from the KK 0-0 last year. 2 years. :D

(((Arf Arf))).

That would be the same anti-American sentiment that's prevalent throughtout the world I guess.

yes Thought so. Bollocks. Omega oils.

Surely it would be important to take control of the plane as quickly as possible. 18 minutes would be an eternity to struggle for control. Fantasy land.

Think he will go 5 in the middle against ManU.

It beggers belief that to this day people believe that for instance flight 77 was taken over within 18 min of the boarding of the plane, the cockpit overrun, the transponder turned off and the plane redirected by people fresh out of Microsoft flying club. This is even without getting into the demolotion speed collapses of the buildings and building 7 which only had a fire and wasn't hit by anything.

I use the one week rule. If things ain't better....Wait another week.
