ontd_footballInter Milan has officially signed Xherdhan Shaqiri!
Also:
Lukas Podolski has revealed Arsene Wenger declined to even say goodbye before he completed his loan move from Arsenal to Inter last week.
Podolski elected to join the Nerazzurri for the rest of the season after becoming disillusioned with a lack of opportunities at the Emirates Stadium this season, having made just 13 appearances in all competitions.
And the Germany international, who scored 19 goals in 60 appearances over two years at Arsenal but never managed to gain the trust of Wenger as a regular starter, has now accused the Frenchman of a lack of respect.
"He said nothing to me," Podolski told the Sun. "He did not call me or say goodbye.
"I don't need flowers or a kiss from him. But it is about respect, about saying goodbye. For me respect is important. Maybe he had other problems with me.
"I did everything for the club I possibly could have. I don't believe I did anything wrong. I did not get drunk in a club.
"I wish all of Arsenal and their amazing fans the very best for this season and I see myself as a Gunner. Nothing from him to me, though, but that is his way."
I don't know what to say but this is The Sun that's reported this so I won't believe it fully.
Also, I was going to do a transfer rumor roundup but I've fallen sick so I hope y'all don't mind waiting.

Date: 2015-01-09 12:40 pm (UTC)Poor Poldi. When of the sports journalists here once said that he thought that Wenger could be a difficult man who could carry a serious grudge. Maybe he's right.
I like the dude, but...

Date: 2015-01-10 02:35 am (UTC)I will choose to currently believe that some/all of the quotes have been made up ala the stormgate business, b/c otherwise, Poldi is pretty dumb, imo. I don't think employees who bad-mouth employers get very far, personally, since that probably won't endear you to future employers, either.
(But homeboy has brought a good bit of this on himself with his social media digs. You wanted attention on your plight? You've got it now! Maybe waaaaay more than you wanted.)

Lol, his coach is Mancini and he's not particularly known for being a good people's person.

I could deal with the issues he's facing pretty easily, I think. XD (Yes, I've had a little tiny violin out for Poldi for a while now. ;-D Which pisses some people off, but whatever.)

Lol, it's Poldi, it's alright. People get absolutely pissed only when you start criticizing their precious San Iker, sigh.

no subject
Date: 2015-01-10 12:37 pm (UTC)I might watch something. I dunno, I'm trying to cut back on football a bit. But lately, I just haven't been awake during game time. Have watched some of the recent Arsenal games well after the fact since it's really easy for me to avoid scores. ;-) It does have benefits, like bathroom breaks!
