How much was Downing? £20m? :lolololol
Such a waste of money

Ermm.. "a few days ago" meant that we just had a discussion about this within the past few days and a reference point was posted.
Yeah a replacement for Downing is a must, but the rest of the first team is pretty strong. I think one more strong midfielder to rotate with Gerrard because of injury problems and Henderson because of age and inexperience would be good. A 25/26 year old would be a good buy. Hijack Juve for Asamoah
dont you cunt, he's ours
He's my saviour on the Euro 2012 game. 0-0 with Sweden, sub in the 57th minute and he scores two goals.
I see. Usually when referencing figures that are from 7-19 months prior, that's more pertinent than when an article about those figures was posted.
I just wrote up a nice translation of Dzeko's official statement on the Bayern rumors and accidentally x'ed out of the screen. Shoot me please.
Well to make it short. Dzeko and his manager said they never talked to Bayern and Dzeko said if it does ever happen (that he leaves City) he will be the first to announce it.

Well I won't deny that I didn't look upon Rogers with utter admiration and respect last season. And he's a bit cool.
Bring it on. Patience is the key ingredient now; not that I think he'll get it. Hope we get some quality in next, should make his life a hell of a lot easier. I'd like a statement of intent in the form of a few outgoings too.

Yeah Downing is frequently on the top scorers chart in my FIFA career modes. Sometimes even top.

The interview sounded pretty blunt for sure, Naïnggolan dropped a few names like Inter or AC in the mix too. Kinda out of character. Also said something about his price tag being too high. He wants to leave badly though it seems.
Interesting to know he's doing well enough, he's barely under consideration for the national team, Fellaini and Defour are ahead of him in the pecking order.
Sorry, but I just don't understand what you're saying here, or what your point is.
The figures account for Summer 2011, when most of the league's purchases were made for the 2011-2012 season.
In terms of City, this would include: Aguero, Hargreaves, Nasri, Clichy, Dzeko, Savic and I'm sure I'm missing a few. Either way, your club got dicked around by agents just like everyone else.
I'd like Dembele, Sigurdsson, Joe Allen, or Asamoah. All of them would do me fine.
Cabaye would be great too, but he's fresh on his contract and would cost way too much money.
Here come the gifs.
I best get my sheets in from outside then. Sheffield was predicted rain at some point today I believe.
I think he'll be decent. And if he's not, I can laugh at Liverpool.
COVERING ALL MY BASES, MAN
[kyoufou] You can buy him for 50 million Pounds[/kyoufou]
BBC Sport now saying its expected there will be no Dof at Anfield.

Crow bombs? What a term!
I'd be happy with Rodgers. He seems good at spotting an average player and then getting that player working to his strengths. For the likes of Adam, Downing, etc. he could work wonders!

I'm so confused.
Hasn't this been known for awhile? The job that Damien Comolli was responsible for is going to be two or three different positions. There will be no DOF, rather a few director roles. I believe Ian Ayre mentioned technical director and sporting director.
Ah I see, I thought it meant in the sense that Rodgers would also be taking on the responsibilities of those executive posts.
Recommended it to a girl who only got interested when I told them Hendricks was in it.
They will not be pleased with how it turns out.
Nice profile done by the BBC when Swansea were promoted last year.
Hendricks wasn't half as attractive in modern clothes though.
That's excellent. That 5 minute sequence was my favourite of the whole film.

Hahahah you bastard hahaha
Many have read the same. I'm just taking a guess. Mr Jenkins tweeted that he'd be very surprised if it isnt Van Gaal and Rodgers as the two 'football guys.' 100% certain that we did a lot of talking with Txiki Begiristain too.
Only Man Utd can have Cabaye. We'd sell him to them for 1m plus Bebe. If Liverpool want him, they would need to cough up Lucas, 25m and maybe Suarez.
Duncan Jenkins saying LFC scouted Allan last year, and that they really like him. Depends whether Rogers wants to bring him over or if he wants to build from scratch. If he does bring him over then Spearing or Adam has to go.
Listening to the Drive OST again after watching the film and it's magnificent.

Getting Sigurdsson and Allen is offset by having Downing, Carragher, Adam and Spearing in the squad.

Rodgers is going to do well for Liverpool. I'm sure of that. Quick Daniel, sell Harry to Chelsea and sign him up!
Oh and look what you made me do FootballGAF. I don't even like Alien that much. Stop talking about stuff all the time!

The first one that's just an electronic beat and in that phone advert... Such a fantastic mood piece.
Thought the film was very good but a bit slight. Enjoyed it immensely though, have to see it again.
Allen would be a great buy for Liverpool. But please let's not pretend he's better than Kagawa and start humping the shrine, no one here even watches him.

It should go without saying, but they really should have had some kind of "please don't copy this" warning at the beginning of Breaking Bad for people like you.

I paid £30 for the sexy case when it came out. About a tenner now. When will I learn...
The green one has a couple of discs of extra stuff. I've still not watched them I got too annoyed by how shit Resurrection is to continue with the discs.
Also a £40 price cut in the Vita for 6 weeks. WHEN WILL I LEARN

I think one of them has 6 disks, with 2 of the disks dedicated to a ridiculous amount of 'making of' stuff. About £7 more, but I won't have time to watch any of that stuff.
Neuropharm is much less interesting than it seems. You don't get to cook anything or shoot anyone.
Just read about Lampard coming up limp in practice with a thigh injury. Midfielders are having a tough go already and the tourney hasn't even started yet. Henderson apparently getting the nod if Lamps can't recover in time.
Signings like Stewie make the financial hit of players like Hazard feel slightly less damning. Obviously, their wages are no where close to one another's, but still.
I'm also not sure why so many columns I'm reading are acting as if Hazard is so unproven. He's young, but he's also the reigning two time Ligue 1 player of the year and has won silverware. That has to mean something.

He's a premier league player. We all watch the PL!

Now you have.
Unsure about Rodgers. I think he should have spent another couple of years with Swansea in the PL before moving to a big club. Martinez was the better candidate imo.
He didn't do it in England therefore he has achieved nothing.
Is anyone else ready for some cyberpunk Witcher action?
System Witcher Shock 3. Believe.

How so?
That graph is funny because it's oh so true.
My body would never be ready.
I'll IMDB it now.
Clegg, when's this CDP conference? I'm so in for that. Still haven't finished TW2 yet though, got to Act 3 and then Uni ramped up again. I'll have lots of time to play it come tomorrow though.

Things we need to keep/manage properly:
The back 5
Lucas in the middle
Henderson and Carroll at the club, just not necessarily starting
Sterling in and around the squad
Kelly and Coates getting reasonable gametime
Carragher getting far less gametime
Gerrard's gametime being managed properly
Spearing being replaced, moved on if necessary
Downing being on the bench
Adam being 4th choice CM
Robinson making a few appearances
Flanagan going on loan if possible, Suso as well maybe

80k is the generally accepted figure.
