he'll win trophies
so which club is going to buy rvp after that horrible euro performance?
might as well just wait a year and get him for free
HNNNNG.
I hope for the CL games they use a font on the back which is the same colour as the Etihad lettering on the front, it would look top!
Thought that was the Newcastle away top for a second. :lol :lol
Pretty much the exact same set up on the back, especially as it's the same coloured top.
PODOLSKI HE'S GERMAN
Yeah obviously RVP's worthless based on three games in the group of death with a dysfunctional Netherlands team...
Newcastle are going to spend the Carroll money on Aguero. You've just jinxed it.

It makes me laugh how many project copies are of some players that end to be nothing.
Nani was the next Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema was the next Ronaldo (fat one), Özil was the next Zidane...
Let players have an own identity.

According to Croatian press, Modric is about to sign with Real Madrid.
I hope that means that Kaká will leave. I wouldn't mind an exchange+moneyz with Spurs.

All the stories in England are saying the transfer has stalled. We couldn't afford Kaka's wages anyway.

I know there isn't much people interested in Malaga around here but... this post is about new kits!
CL variant:
I care! I have stated many times how much I like Cazorla and Isco and I use Malaga in Fifa Career mode
Those 2 kits under the home one are so good. Especially the black one.
Worst part is when Messi was only 20 and there was already players dubbed "the next Messi" like seriously, let Messi be Messi first then find the next one.

Mourad Meghni was the original "next Zidane".

There are so many 'next Zidanes'.
His kid plays in Real Madrid's young team.

I know that I'm pretty late to the party, but I just wanted to say a couple of things about the Ibra-Villa thing. First of all, they've two pretty different playstyle, when Ibra plays with Milan he's the guy upfront that should receive every pass, so that the team can get closer to the goal. Then he passes the ball to someone else, whether it's Cassano, Binho or Boateng doesn't matter. Villa is more like a "pure" striker, always near the goal, waiting for the right time to shoot while lurking next to the defenders. Like Sheva, Raul and so on. So I guess that, mostly for these reasons, Villa is a better striker than Ibra, and way more deadly when he's in good shape.
Also, if Ibra doesn't want to play, then he'll do more damage than anything else. Having such a player walking around the midfield while insulting his teammates it's useless for various reasons, mostly because his team will end up playing in 10 men. And it happens a lot of times during a season.
He has (had, actually) a lot of potential, but he has also always been pretty annoying when he didn't felt like playing. Which, in a football team, is kind of a big deal.

He's come out on Twitter saying rumours are rumours and for everyone to forget about it. I can't imagine how annoying this shit is where players who have no intention of leaving are concerned.
Once this month is over (his clause automatically disappears at the end of July), we can finally move on from this noise.
Additionally, looks like we're about to sign another youngster of the Summer:
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/magpies-move-for-bigirimana-7917960.html
He was at our training ground yesterday. He looks like a promising talent. Our youngster pool is really shaping up in midfield, with Bilgirimana, Abeid, Vuckic, etc. So good.
We also had James Tavernier sign a new contract. A promising right-back who will most likely play as third choice RB for now.

The problem is he isn't 4th or 5th choice. I think if he knew that, he would leave. Coates should be getting games ahead of him, which is why it's frustrating when Carra starts and makes a mistake or hoofs the ball every opportunity. Rodgers has been speaking very highly of him in recent interviews, so he's probably going to feature a lot this season.

I doubt they're interested at that price. Especially if they sell Hulk.

Man those Malaga away and 3rd shirts are very nice.
Also the Barca kit on Jordi Alba looks alright, not as bad as I expected it would be.
It's a shame nothing can save the United kit

I don't think there is much chance of that happening but it would be funny if it did, Celtic would want in too :lol
Carra has been great for us. He has given everything he has on the pitch. But last season showed that it might be time for him to maybe retire. He had a difficult time last season, and everytime he played, I was hoping he wouldn't mess up. He made me nervous every time he played. The Carra from a few seasons ago is no longer there. Those were the days when I would thank: Calm down, Carra's got this. Now he's just a parody, unfortunately. When a player causes uncertainty on the pitch, it might be time for that player to start thinking about their future.
It's like older fighters in the UFC: They were once great, but don't know when to stop. Then they start losing game after game, yet still continue to accept new fights.

Might have to go up a bit, but I hope Fergie splashes the cash at sub-30m. Moutinho was quietly impressive at the Euros. He's versatile, does the simple things well, and it would be nice to have a reliably consistent!, and class, presence in central midfield besides Carrick, who isn't that young (31) any longer either.
Probably bullshit rumor but here in Portugal they are reporting Tottenham is interested in Defour. In 1 week I'm sure Tottenham and AVB will be linked with all FC Porto players.
Good Luck with that.
They are close to selling Fernando to Inter Milan. If they end up closing the deal, don't expect them to sell other midfielders unless someone pays the release clause for them.

Didn't somebody at Porto already say if Moutinho is leaving it will be for his buy out clause?
Just posturing I guess but any bid will have to be close to it and I don't think £20m is close at all.

Chelsea are interested in Schweinsteiger. Abramovich personally met him during Euro's and now they are going to contact Bayern to see if a deal is possible.
And Belhanda has said that he will be staying at Mont for at least 1 more year so it looks like Arsenal will end up with Dempsey instead

Good lad.I've watched like 4 hours of Forbrydelsen today and I can't stop
Was good to here Rodgers talk about Carragher making the transition into coaching, that gives me hope that despite their apparent budding relationship what Carragher gains from Rodgers will be more coaching related than playing time.
And let's be honest, with Europa League as well we've got a packed fixture list, we'll need the likes of Carra this season.
Pinto da Costa publicly said he doesn't want to sell him but if someone is seriously interested they should at least "appear" with a €35M proposal ~ £31m (slightly lower than his release clause €40M).
That was before his spectacular performance against Spain and Inter Milan advancing for Fernando, so now the upper hand is even more on his side. He doesn't "want" to sell him but I'm sure he will if someone offers around €30M + performance bonus like he did with Falcao last year.
I'm sure if Man United is interested, they will want to include Anderson in the package and lower Moutinho's price but I'm not so sure Porto is interested in having him again. But I have a feeling Moutinho will end up going to Tottenham since he loved playing for AVB...
It happened in my FIFA12 save. But then David Silva also went to Aston Villa.
I miss the days of FIFA 09 when Derby County somehow bought Ronaldinho.

Nice interview with Subotic:
Sounds good, I already thought Klopp is important to him, he can stay for another few years <3

Interesting. Can we have him in 2/3 years? We will give you some shares.
We'll throw in a few extra shares for Gotze and Hummels.
Its not like we could pay with actual money. You can have Bebe too, if you want.
