He's doing well at Parma now I think, but yeah you're right. There was a lot of talk about Coates perhaps being a similar prospect, but he's had far more exposure to high pressure matches. Can't wait to see more of him this season.

More Coates=Less Carra

This pleases me

 

[Zabojnik]

Juve are a 3rd rate club?

I know Krasic plays for them but a terrible player doesn't equal a terrible club.

You have to excuse him, Clegg. It's the old age. Paleontologists estimate that the youngest Torino FC fan was born somewhere between 1922 and 1925.

 

[bjaelke]

Modric to Real Madrid.

Nothing is confirmed yet, right? All I can find is this source: http://www.mundodeportivo.com/20120713/fichajes/modric-paso-fichar-real-madrid_54324286138.html

The Google translation for this article seems to indicate €35m and Nuri Sahin perhaps? If so.. wow!

(Jose looks so much younger here)

 

[Hixx]

It has come to my attention that Sammy Ameobi looks a bit like Dwayne Dibley.


That is all.

Yo Clegg have you ever listened to the early Tom Waits albums?

Listening to Closing Time right now, it's fantastic

 

[KidA Seven]

I hope that Sahin deal is a bunch of bull. I would rage.

This article indicates that Spurs' twitter posted 35 million + Sahin but then removed it. Sounds like Mourinho is giving his former apprentice a gift if you ask me!

 

[Stubo]

Choosing to tactically interpret these foreign languages as saying €35m after Sahin rejected the chance to leave (not saying because it's Spurs, before anyone comments...)

This is to comfort myself, mind...based off nothing at all, but I'd be super jealous of Sahin.

 

[GQman2121]

Yeah, fuck that deal. That's some mini Ibra/Eto'o type shit there. If it breaks down like that though, then props to Levy for holding strong and getting the best deal for him and his employer.

 

[Fry]

Sahin is almost as good as Modric and 3 years younger, so that deal is fucking bullshit.

 

[dc89]

City were interested in Sahin this window! Never made the main media but it was a deal which could have happened sooner if City shifted the players they needed to.

GAH

dc44, you'll not get rid of most of your players because of their hilariously over inflated wages and if you do it's because City will have agreed to continue to pay a large proportion of their wages after the transfer. You make your bed and then you sleep in it. You won't be rid of your dead wood any time soon.

Ade is close to going to Spurs? As far as Mancini is concerned he's rotten to the core!

Kids don't like Kolarov.

Out of curiosity, how much is former footballer Wayne Bridge on whilst he's at Brighton?

 

[dc89]

He earns £90K a week. City will be paying at least £80K of that I'm sure.

 

[D_prOdigy]

earns

Oh.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Tevez is a fucking midget isn't he.

 

[Yurt]

We beat Al Hilal 7 - 1. Just sayin' City

Apparently we've signed 19yo Atalanta striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

God damn our future is looking really bright.

Spoiler

I have faith we'll get Verratti

If the Krasic for Pazzini swap is true, then I'll be happy with it. Pazzini will have to content himself with a Borriello role, though.

Btw, if the Armero signing is true we'll almost certainly use 3-5-2 as our base since that'll allow Chiello-Barza-Bonbon trio to remain intact. Lucio will be depth (and what depth!).

Also, it makes perfect sense since Giovinco hasn't really done well out wide in a Vucinic 2011-12 like role. He's used to 3-5-2, and he'll do well for us. I actually think a Vucinic-Gio partnership would be quite successful, as would Gio-Matri.

Still, we need a killer poacher. I just think the market is strange at the moment. And I think the Ibra to PSG deal throws wrenches in a bunch of our plans. They'll have quite a bit of cash to throw at some of our targets.

Ugh, yeah.. we aren't the only club in Italy with money anymore :/

Giovinco in a 3-5-2 is perfection <3 He can't complain* about the formation not suiting him now! (*he'll find something else to complain about)

Really happy we managed to get Gabbiadini too!
I'm hoping we could at least sell half of them for huge sums later on.

And they'll haunt us forever in Serie A

That's what happens when Hughes is given free reign over who to sign.

Tevez is a fucking midget isn't he.

Zabaleta looks quite short too but that's because he's next to 6'4" Yaya. Pantilimon must be 6'7" at least.. he dwarfs Yaya and Vinne. I believe the 16 year old, Rony, is the one who is Tevez's height.

Oh, it looks like Pantilimon is 6'8" and the tallest player in the BPL. That makes sense.

NO NO NO NO NO Barcelona.... Please don't do this. Go grab other clubs defenders and leave ours alone. Kos "the boss" Koscielny is off limits.

Hey..hey!

Oooo I quite like the new Newcastle shirt!

Shame about Virgin Money though

Rangers will make a fun project on the next FM.

I'm hoping Arsene Wenger pulls a Völler and prevents RVP from picking a PL club.

Sahin to Spurs is okay.

edit:

Arsenal would be better.

Rain Dogs is one of the best things ever created.

Never seen the first one. Good thing to do on sunday.

So basically Celtic are going to rule the roost now that this has happened. No one will be able to come near them.... Very one sided league.

Neither AS nor Marca are reporting this, and they pretty much report anything regarding Real Madrid - so I am just going to assume this is not true . . . but if it is true, then fuck. I can't understand how Madrid could possibly have such a shit negotiation staff. Sometimes I don't know why I put up with this club.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Spurs get Sahin too!?

 

[Yurt]

edit:
Ah..

Well it still doesn't make any sense?

 

[D_prOdigy]

Let me get this straight..

Are they saying Spurs are going to sell Modric to Madrid for 35m, and then hand them back the 35m to sign Nuri Sahin?

Option to swap not unlocked?

No, for Modric, they get 35m and Sahin.

They will then spend 30m of that on Moutinho and 5m on crack and virgin blood for AVB.

 

[dc89]

Anyone else do this at the PC screen when things aren't going your way on FM?

 

[Yurt]

Yeah I realized that after using google translate

I seriously doubt it.

 

[Clydefrog]

I love love love Modric but 35M + Sahin I would take take take.

 

[The Other One]

Fabio Capello, will be named the new &#8234;Russia&#8236; coach next week on a 2year deal with a $7.3M salary per year. &#8234;

Some rumours seem to be circulating we could be interested in Coutinho.

From what I've read, he seems a great young player, but not entirely sure where he would fit in. Can he play on the wings?
