Eeesh, kinda BS considering we took him injured. On a more positive (IE: not gonna happen) rumour, Diego Ribas to Villa?

So looks like Connor Wickham will be having a medical at Sunderland tomorrow.
Just goes to show how much these "in the know" journalists actually know. The lad was supposed to be a stick on for coming to Liverpool.

Not long now to pre-season and all is still quiet at Melwood.
I know we intend to keep everything behind closed doors, but its not making a whole lot of sense at the moment. Kenny and Comolli seemed intent on having most of the signings done by pre-season, and yet all we have so far is Henderson and more "strong links" to Adam. Hardly the kind of deals I would imagine would keep Pepe around.
Maybe im overthinking this, and Im hoping well see some big coups over the next week or two, but I dont know, it's just not sitting well right now.

If I could have one player in his prime for Rovers I think I'd go for a unobvious one:
Absolute Rovers legend in the making before Sven dropped him from the world cup squad for no reason and he crashed in Rome rather than living his dream. Oh what could have been.
Other than that Shearer (best Rovers players of all time) or Ronnie Clayton.

To be fair there have been hardly any deals at all so far this summer. Obv the window isn't even open on the continent yet but even within England there hasn't been much movement.Feorax said:
Oh i completely agree, its just not what I expected from the promises of silently and quickly, in time for the pre-season.farhatraza said:
Overall, been pretty shit for everyone though so far, you're right.
EDIT: and im not convinced about the whole international transfer window thing. Hasn't stopped Newcastle or Man Utd.

That's a little old news. He will have a reunion or something with people of ManU in July, but he doesn't want to get his hopes up. Two options: renew contract with Celtic (more pay, obviously) or move to ManU, lets see what happens

Your not the only one who's pumped for FM2012. How else would Comolli find players to sign?
rodvik said:
Unlikely. Whilst his skill is a class above what we have I think his wages would be too high, he would demand too much attention, and generally be a nuisance in the dressing room - as has been proven in other places.
Before we can even consider him we need to ship out Ireland and Beye who are taking up £100k a week in wages and they're not playing.

The one bad thing about Steam is that it lists all those hours for you.
Valve are cruel bastards.

River Plate's stadium, Estadio Monumental, will be closed for a year and River Plate will probably spend the next season at Nacional B with a -6 or -10 penalisation.

Once I passed 500 hours for the second time in FM games (FM 09 and 10 each) I just stopped looking, I can't bare to see what I've done in 11
Probably only around 200-300 though this time, haven't played it as much as previous games.Regulus Tera

I was really looking forward to the midfield trio of Jona, Enriquez, and Cabrera, alongside Gio and Fabian. It was already a blow when concashit forced us to send an u22 team. This just made it worse.
I'll probably just end up doing what you're doing. Only because of Based Forlan.

K1LLER7 said:what happened? I thought mexico was gonna use the same squad they used at the gold cup? no hernandez
CONCACAF prohibited Mexico and Costa Rica from sending their top teams to Copa América in an effort to not devalue their Gold Cup performances.
It's not like Fergie was going to allow Chicharito to play in both tournaments anyway. He would have missed the pre-season.

Yep, I'm going. Hopefully gonna have some good pictures to post! Definitely interested to see if Fergie tries something tactically different...and (assuming he stays) I'd love to see what Berbatov could do against Barca, as well as Nani.K1LLER7 said:
From the Mirror, I'd take this as complete rumour for now, but:
Arsenal may lose both Fabregas and Nasri this week
I can't see it. Unless Wenger already has a clear idea of replacements / has signed someone and kept it under wraps, why would Arsenal let both players go so close to each other? Would have a serious effect on the team.

As sad as it is to see Sammy leave the club again at the same time I think everyone expected it to come. Sammy is a great servant to the club but he isn't future, nor interim manager material. Clarke on the other hand is Kenny's right hand man and deserves the title and accolade of being the assistant manager, I think the players would also agree judging from how highly they've spoken of him in the last six months.kharma45 said:
I would honestly expect Clarke to take over when Kenny retires in many years time, and I feel Kenny would ensure and push for that to happen too. Clarke is still relatively young in managerial terms and has expressed an overt interest in becoming a manager. He can spend the next 5 or so years watching Kenny's man management skills and embracing the clubs culture so he can eventually take over and revert back to the bootroom structure.
As far as Clarke's tactical know-how goes, that can't be debated, he's one of the best.

Yep if anyone has been pathetic with this Cesc transfer saga it has been Barca, not a arsenal fan but the way they have been acted even got me pissed off.

What are you talking about? Even without Fabregas it's all over. Hell, they just won champions league in dominating fashion.

Di Matteo coming back as Villas-Boas' #2? I can get behind that.

If Man U offer 20mil for Nasri then let the guy go. Nasri is not loyal to us, he is doing neither the fans nor the club any favors with this contract crap he is pulling and imo he is easily replaceable.Plasma said:
Cesc on the other hand needs to be sold at his market value or not sold at all. Selling him on the cheap is going to infuriate me with Gazidis and Hil-Wood. I would sell to Real since they will obviously offer more and Fabregas wants to go back to Spain.
