Go to Manchester or stay in London as prey for Terry.
Oh god, we haven't been linked have we.
Started a FIFA campaign as Juventus. Went to buy Asamoah. Udinese accepted an inflated bid because they're "rivals". Asamoah turns down my contract offer cos he wants more money. Offered him - for a laugh - 500k a week. Asamoah turns it down because he wants more money. Next day Asamoah goes to Atletico Bilbao.
This fucking game.
PS: I know Asamoah has joined/is joining Juventus in real life and I could easily just use the main menu team management to put him on the team but there's no fun in that is there?

Fuck me, not more of this.
The sudden disdain for Van Persie's footballing talents is grating to say the least. Can you imagine that sort of comment in the middle of last season when he was in the middle of his pomp, scoring goals for fun and singlehandedly pulling Arsenal to results.
The guy grabbed Arsenal by the scruff of his neck and pulled them into the Champions League places, imagine what he'd do for any prospective people actually capable of challenging for the title. Like, say, Chelsea.

Nope, seems like Porto and Chelsea can't agree. Hulk clearly wants to go though.

I'd jizz myself skeletal if we signed Van Persie
As would most sane people.

Where did I express my disdain for RVP's footballing talents in my post. It was more a response to Chelsea potentially going crazy this transfer window. Just been reading up on the Schweinsteiger links. Silly season indeed.
And Robin!
Perhaps I took it wrongly and saw it as you intimating you wouldn't want him, I guess I was already coming from such an angle because I'd just read people describe him as old, injury prone and a one season wonder. The guy's the best striker in the league, without question.

Rooney is better.
Edit - Aguero will prove to be better too IMO. Reckon Tevez is better too but he's a JT to the point where he harms his usefulness.

Yeah. Sucks that he wants to leave us!
He was great last season. I watched very little of the Euros, so my opinions of him have not been marred by his Holland performances.
Don't agree, and I'm not going to get into factoring in potential, it's murky territory. As it stands, as of today (and tomorrow), RVP is the best out and out striker in the Premier League. Yes Rooney can track back, and yes Aguero can dribble, but neither of them can score goals as well as Van Persie.
Haha, don't get me wrong! He's fantastic, one of the best in the world last season, no question about that.
We have no (proper) strikers in our squad, and I'd rather see us spend that money wisely.. Robin IS old, and his wage demands are ridiculous. Can he guarantee us an injury-free career and consistency in three competitions? Our other targets are younger, and demand way less than him.

Only over their careers, all 3 have proved otherwise. Most certainly in the cases of Rooney and Tevez and I believe Aguero is going to do so too, he already has a good record.
RVP had an amazing season. He was the leagues best striker, he was the leagues best player. He was one of the best 5 players in Europe.
I don't give him any of those accolades in a general sense though, because it was one season (perhaps one a half) at that level. Others have shown more consistency.

My town doesn't get floods, luckily. Rain has been irritating though. YO SUMMER WHEN U START?
Clinica ... di sesso? Sex clinic? Well, that would explain many things.
Well agree to disagree about Van Persie. I believe he's a better striker than all those mentioned at this moment in time.
Also, with this short video I'll officially say Suso > Cleverley. Such a nice piece of skill.

It is debatable for sure, I guess we will find out. I think Suarez will throw his name into the mix this coming year too.
Suso looks great. Wonderful technique. For some reason left footed players just look...better. Unless you're called Carroll lol.
Wow that was quick, later Ji. Kinda sad but it's a good deal for us. Writing was on the wall when we removed him from all the advertising today. People in S Korea must be heart broken.
For some reason reminds me of when Anderson was once exciting

Suso is wonderful. Hope he gets a few games in the first team this year.
Bye Modric
modric would be great for madrid
and sell players like kaka and lass
bwhahaha
So the Korean going to QPR is PJS, not KSY... Well unless they are in for Ki as well. Don't want QPR to be the Korean club

Ki denied any involvement with QPR.
I think Suarez still has a long way to go, he' still not consistent enough. His hat trick against Norwich showed he's got all the ability in the world though.
Please don't even begin to compare the two.
Yeah you're right, Anderson's was cooler.

£5 mill for Ji works for me.
Edit: Gah! No! Only £2 mill. Sounds more realistic.

Apparently it's £2m not £5m.
Oh.
Oh.
Anderson's lost the ball, you nut.
Just as a general rule don't compare that overweight flop to Suso, it's like comparing Charlie Adam to Pirlo.
Rising to £5m when they win Champions League.
