Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 What does that mean? Yeah! Its gibberish, which is why I asked the Penguin... Yeah, this is a bit harder than twitter feeds! But I'd hazard something like "English Premier League: Aston Villa are submitting an unprecedented £8.5m transfer offer (approx... a shitload of yen), but, looking forward to next season [Kiyotake?], said [not sure what to make of the ni todometa here... perhaps "said dismissively" or "said taking no notice"... or perhaps "said to put an end to"... I dunno, a bit uncertain on that] 'I will rest and then look forward to doing my best in the new season' Best I can do. Kind of stretching myself here. Good practice, though Edit: £8.5m, obviously, not £8.5... although that would be unprecedented too, for a top player... Hmm..hopefully he was just being coy/professional in stopping the line of question, rather than putting end to the speculation... Yeah, hopefully. Really no idea how to read that. Never come across todomeru used in this way before, let alone the hanasu ni todomeru construction. Best I can do is educated guesses.

ryu.yokoi Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ha! I dont know how THIS hasn't been tossed around the past few days...in this interview last month (prior to the Confed Cup), Kiyotake notes that he wants to play in the Premier League on day! http://www.soccer-king.jp/sk_column/article/114330.html?pn=2 Nobody hyperventilate.

Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 プレミアリーグに興味がわいてきたのでは？清武 そうですね。真司君と電話で話すと「プレミアはすごい」って言いますから。そういうのを聞くと意識するようになるし、行ってみたい国にはなりますよね。 Your interest in the premier league is growing, isn't it? Yes. I spoke to Shinji-kun [i.e. Kagawa] on the phone and he said "the premier league is great!" Hearing that raised my awareness and that is becoming the country I want to try myself in. Again, that's my best shot. I'm far from fluent, but fairly confident that's a decent translation. I really do want to believe this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryu.yokoi Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I really do want to believe this one... Just hope for the best and expect the worst.

maqroll Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe with the 30m we get for Benteke, we can buy this guy and have 20m left over for another striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Thought this one may have legs still and that we woul be back in with higher offer.. With benteke going can definitely see this one happening.. Just need a striker for him to feed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 In effect all players have a release clause, you just meet the valuation the selling team wants. Whether that valuation is set at the start of the contract or when the offer is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well yes, that is self evident but I don't believe this player has a clause that would force the club to sell him against their wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 problem is now they know have money. If, for example, we offer £10m for Kiyotake. Faulkner should just say to Nuremburg "That bloody Lerner has only given us £10m to spend from the £30m Benteke money! Can you believe it?! He's pocketed the rest. No doubt he wants to buy petrol for his jet LOLOLOL... So yeah, £10m is our final offer". Whilst making the same offer and claims for Benteke's £10m replacement. Easy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ideally, we could use the Benteke money to buy Kiyotake and a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yup... (That's what I said ) I wasn't replying to you, just stating what I hope can be done with the Benteke funds. Nice to see that we agree though Any strikers in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) I think JulieB has deleted her twitter account Obviously doesn't think this is going ahead anymore and couldn't face the shame.
