That seems expensive, did you guys check out soccer.com

Soccer.com is pretty in line with a lot of other providers it looks like. Kun Aguero Argentina shirt is $110 which is what World Soccer Shop was charging when I looked before. Soccer.com also has Kun's City shirt (both home and away) for $110.

From MCFC.co.uk, the home shirt is only $60 (Kitbag runs the MCFC shop) while the away shirt is $43. I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the lettering and numbering on the shirt from the official site/Kitbag. They're a bit translucent. I also got the PL patches and they weren't done particularly well (a bit scrunched when they arrived).

Why is name-adding so expensive on the official site? I mean you pay ~£50 for the shirt and then they want £15 to just add some player's name on it. If they're gonna overcharge they might as well just do it on the shirt, instead of demanding £15 for 6-7 letters.

Is it similar for other clubs? I can't check now since all shops seems to have sale on shirts.

My printing from Kitbag was also a bit see-thru, but I just attributed that to the black lines in the United away kit... Interesting to hear the same thing happened to you, didn't get PL patches though...

 

[Messi]

Dude I'd totally go with Triads again regardless of ship time. For some reason the Spain away kit is more expensive than the France one on Kitbag. 96$ compared to 88$

and then for some reason the Dutch home on Kitbag is like 140$

Plus no printing.

EDIT:



How far are you into the show now? Up to season 3 yet?

The Dutch kit you are looking at is the Authentic player kit, they sell the replica also.

He said the same thing last summer when PSG wanted him. SSN asked Harry about it (through his car window, natch) and he just joked 'he probably wants a bit more money from the chairman'. BAE is a professional and just like Modric, his current wage probably doesn't reflect his status in the team.

I'm not entirely sure Dzeko would suit the style of play in Serie A. It's very different to England and Germany were strength and exceptional aerial ability can get you far. I'm not saying he's a crock with his feet, far from it, just that his greatest strengths don't really pair up with that league.

Not that it will happen but I think Van Persie's a perfect fit for Juve. Someone who's technically superb so when Pirlo threads the ball through it's almost a certain goal.

Jesus christ, just imagine Buffon, Chiellini, Pirlo and Van Persie. That's a spine of absolute superlatives.

Cavani, Van Persie, Dzeko ... we'll take anybody! Cavani would be absolutely perfect for us and the most affordable wage-wise, but's he's not coming for obvious reasons. :/ Van Persie is either staying or leaving for a top 5 team I think, so that leaves Dzeko. I didn't think City would be willing to let him go that easily, but if you guys are optimistic about it ... I'd be more than happy to welcome him to Juve, since he kind of promised he'd come, only to then go where the big bucks are. His paycheck may be a problem, though. We seem to have a pretty strict idea of what our salary cap should be and I don't know how our best players would react to a primadonna like Dzeko making twice as much as they do. From this point of view Cavani would be just fucking perfect. He's getting about 2mil at Napoli, we could easily double that. But I'm sure PSG are already writing that 40mil€+ check to De Laurentis ...

I'm not sure who we are going to get to play on our right. But I just saw the Elia wanting to leave. Fine, then. But I think if that's true then, frankly, we should give Krasic another go. Perhaps we go for another RWer or it's just Estigarribia and Giaccherini compete with Pepe, but you got to think we need somebody on the right to provide a creative spark, especially if Vucinic goes down--unless we want to seitch to 3-5-2.

If we sell them both, I think we get our money back from Elia or just about, so 8-9m, and for Krasic we get 12-15m, maybe about 20m in total combined. What choice will we have in that case but to spring for a new forward in addition to a ST. Dzsudzak? Do we join the Hazard race? Maybe we just bring back... Giovinco. I mean, it all seems to make sense for his arrival now, doesn't it?

Kolarov is for sale. 7-8m? Good competition for Paolino, plus his experience, and he knows the league.

Krasic ... I don't know man. Conte just doesn't seem to appreciate him and I think there's a good reason for that. Not the brighest player, is he? He's fast, I'll give him that, but he ALWAYS goes for the same damn thing. Head down, kick the ball forward, hope for the best. He's anything but creative. I think we should sell both him and Elia and get a promising RWer who'll compete with Pepe. We should be buying the players we need for both 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 anyway. The option to change formations on the fly was one of our secret weapons this season, we should go forward with it.

I think you're being a bit optimistic about what we can get for Krasic and Elia. They are both players we kind of *have to* sell and anybody dealing with Marotta will know that. Same goes for Melo. But you never know ... Yeah, Giovinco's return is almost certain at this point, especially if Conte really seems to like him as they're saying.

We're up for an exciting summer mercato, that's for sure.

I paid like £60 for my City shirt this season with printing and patches.

Now you can get a home shirt with free printing for £25 I think.

Got my tickets for the last 3 Copenhagen league games, haven't really gone much this season after seeing nearly all home games last season. All with free transport as the club is desperate enough to pay the fans for it.

 

[Ushojax]

Liverpool's only hope is that Chelsea rest a few players. Chelsea barely had to get out of first gear on Saturday, Liverpool looked like a League Two side for most of the game.

I hope Liverpool get one over on them because the last day is going to be nerve-wracking enough with 3 teams going for 3rd/4th.

Man, catching up on GAF is always fun :]

Yaya rejected the Champagne and said it's because he's a Muslim.

How I want to hate you Yaya, how I want to...I just can't.

Respect +1. Ribery seems to be the same, I recall seeing pics of him and the team at the Oktoberfest (is that what it's called?) and he was the only one not holding a drink.

HAHA! It's like the back of Mancini's head cursed him. What timing.

Square-Enix is a pathetic excuse for a company.


Excluding their handling of western properties. They've published quality this generation - Deus Ex, Batman Arkham Asylum (well, the published this in Japan and handled the distribution of the title), upcoming Tomb Raider and Hitman Absolution look great too, etc.

Yes. It's crazy, but Square Enix has become an great PUBLISHER of WESTERN games lol. Hitman and Tomb Raider look GREAT!

If Chelsea had beaten Newcastle in the week we'd be in a great position to capitalise right now. Freaking hindsight.

We tend to never take advantage these days :'( Lesson learned from losing to Newcastle hopefully; mark Cisse better next time. Look at how Kompany did it. Like a boss.

ere's our buzzer crying, he scored in the game against newcastle that won us the title in 68

Is that really him? What a season this must be for him if so.

I hate fighting games coz I'm terrible at them.

What sucks about them is the amount of commitment each one asks of you, and heck, they are all different. I tend to play them for fun, knowing that I suck I look forward to screwing around with Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken and Tekken 6 for a few days this summer. Oh, and Persona 4 Arena Sometimes it's fun to go through the story mode, as silly as they can be.

I'm 19 in August, so one of the youngest I think. Massive cock for my age though.

BAE loves Harry and I doubt he cares when he pokes fun at him. I'm sure he wants the squad to improve as we all do, but he also wants an improved contract. Younes is getting one, Walker has got one already, it's only fair that he, along with Modric, get a new deal that reflects their importance to the team. The gulf in class between BAE and Rose is staggering (and I like Rose).

[PaulLFC]

Managed to get a ticket for tonight, I want us to put in a good performance.

It's a choice for Chelsea between resting players for the CL final and hoping they get into the CL through winning it, or playing their strongest team and trying to win their last games and finish 4th. Whatever they choose, I hope we play a strong team and at no matter what the result at the end, at least look as if we want to win, which we didn't for too long on Saturday.

Agger did an interview with .tv after the final saying that he knew they didn't play well at all for the first hour, so hopefully the rest of the players know that and will be wanting to make up for it, even though we can't achieve much in the league now besides an extra few hundred thousand quid from league positions.

Cabin in the Woods finally comes out this weekend. FilmGAF is apparently CRAZY ABOUT IT (for those who missed it).

Congrats on the FA cup win mate. Thoroughly deserved. I hope we start Zlatan Carroll tomorrow though, I want to see what he's capable of playing a full 90 against JT.

I would recommend watching them before the Avengers. You could probably get by without, but the movie is much a much more rewarding experience if you are already invested in the characters.

Thanks Feorax It was incredible how good you guys became in the last half hour though. Don't worry there's a good chance you'll take 3 points away from us tonight. Apparently both Drogba and Cech are not even on the bench.

Thanks for the recommendations as well, I'll be watching Cap'n America tonight and Thor tomorrow before the Avengers :]

I would say yeah they do matter. They are probably the most important story-wise in relation to the Avengers

You sold me bro, will watch both first.

3 and a half weeks until Prometheus. Oh my.

2nd biggest film of the year. Ridley FTW!

Don't worry, I really don't enjoy Biebers music (my taste is far worse), just find the outrage over him hilarious enough to buy a 7 euro shirt when I saw it.

Haha I should have known ;D
