How many times in his career does a footballer get to transfer to a club named after him?

I'd rather go to River Park than QPR tbh...

But you're right. This must be special for him.

Liking your S3? Lemme know what apps you got on it so far. I'm still behind in optimizing this thing.

 

[GQman2121]

If I was a Chelsea fan, I'd be very curious to s see how Nathan Ake turns out. Was a great signing for me this year in FM.

He's apparently a born leader. We'll probably sell him to Hamburg for peanuts when he turns 18 next year.

I didn't receive a shipping notification from the seller (Ebay) so I doubt I'll get it tomorrow.

There's an Android App thread on GAF with some really cool/nifty apps.

I scoured through the first page and picked up some good ones. Debating whether to just root the damn thing already... Feel like I should give the stock a shot though.

I'd love nothing more than to see Borini with Liverpool, Roma can fuck off.

They spent almost 10m on him though, so expect to pay way more than that.

I hope Wallander is a true representation of Sweden in that everyone is handsome and speaks various English dialects.

Despite Park Ji-Sung being a lovely guy, I still wish for QPR to be relegated.

That is what I'll do. Not bothered by rooting yet. This'll be my first smartphone so I'll get the hang of stock first and foremost.

More on Borini:

Roma forward Fabio Borini is expected to become Brendan Rodgers' first signing as Liverpool manager.

The 21-year-old Italy international worked with Rodgers at the Chelsea academy and on loan at Swansea.

Talks between the parties are ongoing and although the deal has yet to be agreed, the potential fee is likely to be in the region of £8m.

On Monday Rodgers had stated that he was close to making an "exciting" signing.

"We hope to complete a deal this week which will be a real exciting one for the club," he said.

"He will be terrific, I'm sure. And the supporters will absolutely love him.

"Going forward hopefully we can bring maybe two or three more and then with the group of players that I already have it'll bode really well for us and provide us hopefully with that strength in the group to challenge in every competition," he added.

Rodgers has admired Borini since the Italian scored scored six goals in just nine Championship appearances while with Swansea towards the end of the 2010-11 season.

One player who chose not to move to Anfield was new Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

But Rodgers admitted that it was his reluctance to up Liverpool's financial package to match a more lucrative deal being offered by Spurs that meant the player moved elsewhere.

"We didn't lose out because of not wanting to spend the money [on wages]," he added.
"We lost out because the manager wasn't prepared to move on it. There's no doubt there'll be other targets and other people that we need to look to bring in.

"But we won't lose out on wages. If we feel there's a player out there in the market whose value and worth can add value to what we're doing here then we'll do everything we can to bring them in."

However, Rodgers did admit he does not possess endless transfer funds.

"We don't have a wheelbarrow load of money, there is not the money flying about people think there is," he added. "There certainly won't be as many signings as is being labelled out there.

"We want to work with the great players we have here and make three or four tweaks in relation to the squad that can help the group. We want to be competitive in every game and challenging at the top end."

Good to see that (if true) not singing Gylfi was Rodgers' decision and not the board's.

Excited to see how Borini would do if we can manage to sign him.

[WriterGK]

LOLOLOLOLOL, never thought I'd fine someone similar on GAF of all places The question is, does he LOVE both like I do ?






2 is like, my all time favorite game. No kidding. I haven't started 3 yet but it's always nice to hear that the final third is great

Depends on how much you love both. I was a bit down(just for a day) after Chelsea beated Barcelona in the Champions League last season. But on the other hand at least with Spain I find it less fun to actually watch them. The match against Portugal I walked out on after 61 minutes because I thought it was really boring. But Barcelona plays a lot more fun than Spain. But Spain just left the best for last the final against Italy was fun to watch and really impressive.

As comes to Chelsea I am sad that Drogba is leaving but I completely understand why. The only thing missing for him was winning the Champions League and now he has acomplished that. And as for Barca as I told Football Fan earlier I went to visit matches of them twice. We even have photo's of my younger brother, my cousin and me with Frank de Boer, Ronald de Boer and Boudewijn zenden.


I really enjoyed Uncharted 2. The story was great but I just loved playing it online. But I haven't yet bought Uncharted 3 . I have a pile of games I still want to play/finish. Deus Ex Human Revolutions on ps3 just like Fallout: New Vegas. And on occasion I am playing Pokemon White on my DS but I only have like 3 badges so far. And I also am playing my first Mass Effect 1 on the PC playthrough. That game is so good. But I mostly played Football Manager 2012. I hope Barca will sign me one day but I renewed my contract at Valencia today till 2018 it was ending summer 2015 and its now almost april 2014.

 

[Mastadon]

Very excited if we manage to get Borini. I was gutted when it seemed that deal was off.

Watching Mad Men really makes me want to take up smoking again =/

 

[Kyoufu]

Haven't played a Tales game since Destiny remake on PS2. I'll probably get Graces F and probably pass on Xillia. :\

True.

When I was debating whether to get an iPad or not I couldn't really think of many things I'd actually use it for regularly, but I just wanted one. Ended up buying it and I hardly put it down, so many great apps, especially the iPad magazines. It's like a giant Kindle as well although I think reading would be slightly better on the actual Kindle.

After the initial period wore off, and I started using my laptop again, I've still found myself using my iPad more. Also, being a man who owns a kindle, I've begun reading more and more on my iPad. The iPad has a distinct advantage of offering multiple eReaders. I just bought a novel through iBooks that isn't available on the Kindle Store. I still use my kindle when I'm outside and if I'm traveling by train (it's less cumbersome). Since getting an iPad, I've found my iPhone getting a lot less use as well.

That's where I'm currently at right now. That screen on the new iPad is so beautiful too. Would be my first Apple product as well. Maybe this holiday will be the right time.

I agree with your Spain assessment; I adore the Spanish national team - but I did find them bordering on dull against Portugal, and especially against France. It was nice to see them end their campaign with a bang, it just sucked to see it happen at the expense of Italy as I highly respect the club and genuinely felt bad for their 4-0 loss. Watching Chelsea vs. Barcelona in the Champions League has been one of the weirdest experiences of my football-loving life I only was pissed at how Terry nearly broke the match with that rush of blood to his head!

I also feel the same about Drogba, sad to see a legend go but massively happy that he left at the PERFECT moment. He is now immortal at the club, no doubt. How long ago did you see Barca play live? Did you visit Camp Nou? I visited it for the first time earlier this year against Real Madrid (only to see them lose their first home game in AGES, *shake my head*) - it was so beautiful!! So you almost like both equally?

Like you, I have an insane backlog. It helps when you try to play the BEST games from your backlog first, as obvious as that sounds. I haven't beaten either Deus Ex: HR or Fallout 3 either - Deus Ex will be played real soon, God willing Is this your first time playing Mass Effect 1? The series is beautiful. Also, don't worry about your contract in Football Manager, Barca will find a way to poach you off of Valencia ;D

Why pass on Xillia :0?? Graces F looks great. Though, as is the norm with most Japanese RPGs these days, the story supposedly sucks bum.

[Sleepy]

I'm sick of this transfer saga and Arsenal. Chelsea, too. One doesn't spend money and the other throws it around like he's at a strip club and all the news from both camps is boring as fuck. Where's the spark, the player(s) to get fans excited? At this point I should just support Spurs, at least they seem to be ambitious.

 

[Timurid]

So apparently Jovetic's agent has held talks with Arsenal today in London. If this is true and the deal goes through. I'll be a very happy person. We get the perfect rvp replacement and we screw over juve during the process that would make the deal even sweeter.

Saul's a great character.

Really, really, really happy about Borini. Was devastated when Roma bought him, he's such a talented player. Obviously it's not deal done but I do trust we're genuinely in for him, and if the BBC are putting up an article about it there's definitely something there.

Agreed. He also scored the equalizer in the final game! BTW Pappe what club(s) are you fond of? Real Madrid?

Dead Island is good for multiplayer they say. Crysis 2 looks badass! Apparently the plot is silly but the "game" is great. For that price, you'll be happy I think!

shame about the "twist" and the fact Boyle and co. decided to drive their own movie off a fucking cliff, but I'm still pretty excited to see what Danny Boyle has in store for the olympics.

Fantastic until the twist. Really don't like Boyle. 28 Days is alright, 28 Weeks is crap, 127 Hours is like a bad MTV video.

Tiote would be an utterly pointless signing. We already have Parker, Sandro and Livermore in that position.

Tiote is far better than all of them.

That's nothing compared to Vaclav Kadlec on Meier's FM save. Like, 200 goals in 200 games in 6 years, or something like that.
