It basically is a shitty loan for Leverkusen. If he does well, he's gone. If he turns out shit, they wasted money.

Basically this. Its technically a loan, in which Leverkusen takes the risks. They pay his salary, his insurance and his development. If he turns out great, Bayern will buy him out for 5 million. If he doesnt make the jump, all costs are with leverkusen and Bayern got rid of him silently. Wow, this is actually worse than a loan
Jupp pls, you know he does it pro bono.
Yeah, it's mint. Little gem of a show, and I don't even find Chris Ramsey that funny. Vic Reeves is the man, can't wait for Vic and Bob's new sitcom.
No, no, no. He realised what he was doing was inhumane and twisted.
He repented and said he only got lolz from it.

Isn't that max sentencing under the guidelines?
I haven't paid too much attention to the case because it's sick and I read enough misery through my own legal studies in uni. But from what I gather he pleaded guilty right before the start of the so the judge took that into account.
I do think he got closeish to what the law was permitted to punish him with.
Is it? I'm not too familiar with the legal system outside of contract law as it coincides with my studies.
Surely you should get more for some of the things he's done though. It ranges from pissing on young girls to raping a baby to having 27TB of CP. It's perhaps one of the worst cases I've ever read, really surprised it hasn't been on too many front pages in the national press either.
Ah right, that makes sense. Wouldn't surprise me if he died in prison.
Are we buying D'Ambrosio for good or it's another co-ownership bullshit deal?

De Bruyne has been a bit of a flop this season which is a shame because he looks like he has a lot of talent. I believe he just hasn't adjusted to the fast pace of the premier league but in his defence he hasn't had a decent run of games in the team.
I will be a little bit disappointed If we sell him now but considering we got him for only 7million all in all it won't be a bad bit of business.
Yeah I'm not a fan of Ramsey but I really enjoy it. Vic Reeves is great and so is the nan.
1 assist in 16 games. That's even less than Evra, Peluso and Adnan(?) innit.
Tied with Chicharito and Giggsy to be fair.
I swear if we end up paying 20m for another squad player I'm gonna headbutt Marotta to death
I haven't played FPL for more than but a few years but I don't think I've ever looked at player form and seen stats like these:
I think Drogba in 09/10 is the highest FPL point score I've seen, but Suarez may surpass him. 136 points, after starting in late September and it's not even Christmas yet :lol

I have had Suarez as fantasy football captain the last few games and he has propelled me right to the top of my league.
Here is a graph showing the difference in points after 16 games between this EPL season and 2012/13.

I doubt it, because Bundesliga is mostly about counter-attacking, and he was pretty good in his time at Bremen. Sounds more like he is not getting the trust of the coach like he had in Bremen. He's top class, I'm surprised Dortmund are so dumb to let this pass

Relegation beckons.
Can you find Jack Wilshere?
I can make out Flamini, Ozil, Ox and Giroud. I think I see Cazorla but nto sure. No idea who Wilshere is
You've improved on last year though, AVB redeemed

I'm not going to lie, it was obvious that de Bruyne would fail at Chelsea. I honestly think that Mourinho didn't really want him. But with de Bruyne already having a contract for Chelsea, it was an easy decision to keep him. If he does well, great, if not, sell him for the same price next year. No risk.
I also think that de Bruyne would have made it at Chelsea if Mourinho gave de Bruyne his full trust but that was never going to happen with signing Schürrle and Willian on top of Mata, Oscar and Hazard already there.
Understandable decision by Mourinho and Chelsea but de Bruyne basically wasted 6 months.
It's not dumb to let it pass. A CAM/winger is not what we need right now.. We need (a lot of) money to replace Lewandowski, and possibly Gündogan.
Shit. Someone tell Levy to get him in as interim manager

Horst Heldt: "According to my information de Bruyne is moving this winter but not to Leverkusen and not to any German club."
Take it with a grain of salt as Heldt has no fucking idea what he's talking.

What I mean is he struggles when the ball is played to him quickly and defenders put him under pressure. He has failed to cope at the level of intensity and tempo Chelsea's other players do. Internationally and in Bundesliga he will shine though because the game is less intense and he has more space and time to pick his passes.
I really wanted him to succeed at Chelsea and I think after a season he could get used to the league and maybe become a great player for us.
Iniesta extended until 2018 and more important Rafinha extended until 2017.
We wont stand a chance against those guys.

Sounds like the director of football did what he's supposed to do. If AVB thought we brought Franco Baldini in just to negotiate for his hand-picked targets, he's a fucking moron. He pushed for the DoF system so he can't complain when he didn't get exactly the players he wanted. If he didn't want the players, he shouldn't have sanctioned them.
Anyway, the problem with the signings is not their individual qualities, they are all good players. The main issue is that not one of them has any PL experience and most of them were signed after pre-season, that is where Baldini and Levy made a mistake. They expected too much from them too quickly. AVB compounded this by banishing Assou-Ekotto and Adebayor and relying on makeshift left-backs and Soldado. You cannot put that much pressure on new signings from abroad, not unless they are Ozil/Hazard quality. Injuries also fucked things up even more with Rose, Capoue, Eriksen and Chadli all missing for several months.
For a moment I thought this reply came from
But you are right. We now have two Schalke guys in our squad for a very long time.
Painful. I haven't played much FUT this year.. seemed like my brand new squad wasn't up to snuff player quality wise and I refuse to spend any real cash on it so I was getting decimated by teams with far better players even in lower divisions. Have to try it again, maybe it's balanced out a little since.
looooooooooool
If I play someone with a cunt team I ALWAYS do this
Draxler back to Gustavo, back to Draxler, winner
its really obvious when people do this. Just switch to your CB and drop off 10 yards OR offside trap.

A lot of us yeah. Hixx sees my messages, my challenges. He chooses to ignore.
He fears me.
It'll be curious how this affects Barca in general though. They're under investigation now by the Spanish government for receiving improper funds, they're probably going to have to pay more money in the Neymar transfer (either to the Spanish government via taxes or to the third party owner who got snubbed since most of Neymar's transfer fee went to him and his dad) and Iniesta was angling for a HUGE pay raise (and must have received it). I wouldn't be surprised if they're forced to sell Alexis or someone along those lines soon.
Pedro to Arsenal
And before anyone says I am crazy about Barca having to sell someone, bear in mind their profit for last year was "only" €32m despite revenue of just shy of €500m. They spent a lot on Neymar's transfer and took on his huge contract (Neymar's is on par with Messi's, both now far less than Ronaldo's and likely Iniesta's), they've now given Iniesta a major raise, and Messi is due one shortly as well. To not make a loss, I think they'll need to sell someone worth a decent amount of cash.

He wouldn't (or shouldn't) start for Bayern tbf, certainly not in one of those attacking positions. They haven't got a Messi to make up for his lack of real end product, and need their goals and assists to be spread throughout that front 4.
