Zuliani posted on facebook that both Conte and Agnelli seem 'a little pissed', haha. I'd be too. Keep calm, gentlemen. The time for ...
... will come.
Because he had agreed personal terms with us before City came in with a fatter cheque.
Ergo, money grabbing whore.

I know, I never understand why people feel playing football is any different to any other career. 9 out of 10 people will take the job with more money. Why wouldn't footballers?
Arnie, I'm pretty sure your brother was trolling you.
Yeah, I personally don't mind him but can completely understand the contempt from Arse fans.
He was definitely right to leave Arsenal for any chance at silverware and like you said, he's done just that.
a) he looks like that shark batman villain
b) he talks shit all the time
c) went for City over us at extortionate wages
d) played well for Arsenal until there was interest in him and shitted up the place
I would always take the job I like the most (if the money difference isn't too big) ie: the club I like the most.
If Nasri didn't have a favorite club, then of course he would choose City. I didn't like Nasri for doing that because I felt bad for Arsenal fans (Cesc left in the same period), but now I don't give a shit.
To be honest, if I didn't care for either team I may have as well, but I think the fact United had won the league would have tipped it for me.
a)lol
b)So would I if I was a millionaire footballer
c)Best decision financially and if he wants to win something
d)Using the min effort in life while still geting results, lad.
don't

I'd say most people would choose the club they preferred if the money was similar, but I'm going to guess that Nasri wasn't bothered and the difference in money was probably tens of thousands, in that case, go with the money. As we've already established too, it was a good move.
Football fans need to understand that most players don't have the same feelings for a club that they do. It's really quite simple.
yes
Doesn't matter really, they're identical.
Also:
Why would you want to talk shit all day if you were a millionaire footballer? Del Piero doesn't. Messi doesn't. Beckham doesn't. That's not because they have money, it's their personalities. It's like saying 'oh Rooney cheated on his wife, so would I it I was a premier league millionaire', 'oh Balotelli kicked someone in the face, so would I if I was a millionaire'

Dilemma, just got Pirlo TOTY in a pack in FUT. do I sell him for 125,000+, or keep him in my Serie A team? That team already has boateng, zanetti, and di Rossi as middies.
Sell, no point having a player without pace in FIFA unfortunately :/
That's good. That way you'll have Bendtner as main striker when we buy Lewa next season
The latter I imagine.
I would say Roman has a hand in it, but when you spend that money on a player who is the best option to go there, why wouldn't he play behind the striker?

My fullbacks are balzaretti and Cassini. Zanetti wouldn't help me there. Maybe Pirlo plays that cdm role. I can always sell him later

Torres said today that he's happy at Chelsea cos he spoke with the owner who said he has complete faith in him.
So yes, Roman picks the team.
I don't doubt Hazard can't play there and do well...but he's olny played there for the last couple of months. Chelsea have Mata too, but I guess he'll go out wide and cut in.

I don't see how that mean roman picks the team. The owner has faith in him/wants him stay/won't selling and is using his money to build the team around Torres.
If roman was picking the team Bertrand wouldnt have started against Bayern and Torres would have started (perhaps at the expense of Drogba or maybe just Bertrand)
Mata's played on the left most the season and done a good job, so I'd say he'll stay there rather than upsetting Hazard who seems a bit more likely to complain in the media.
He's good behind the strikers too.

Yea but my man crush on boateng wins that battle.

Fuck hazard I like Mata where he is in the team.

I don't mean he literally pick the teams, but it clearly shows he has an influence. What if Chelsea appoint a new manager and he doesn't rate Torres or wants to play with a different type of striker? They probably won't because the new manager will likely be told that Torres is the striker Chelsea want to use.
No, Hazard and Mata are good but their weak. RM is where it's at, give it to Ronaldo, the rest is elementary.
well, torres got unhappy and said some things about wanting to leave, so abramovich told him that they still wanted him. you're playing that up as more than it is.

Yeh but the solution to that would be to not become Chelsea manager. I think RDM is going to get a contract because they can't temp pep (which I'm happy about). But for how long the contract is worth I have no idea probably just 1. RDM was also used in relation to signing Marin so maybe he has spoken to hazard too.

lol You really think you have a chance for Lewandowski? If he leaves, we'll ship him off to China before we'd sell him to you guys.
