Duly marked Arnold.
10m would be very acceptable. Though if you pay him anything near 100k... another Joe Cole, perhaps?
Definitley. Luckily, the replacements for RVP and Walcott have already arrived (Podolski/Giroud and Gervinho/Oxlade-Chamberlain respectively) so the funds can and should be used to strengthen other parts of the team. Decent center half, full back, and world class midfielder are the minimum to make this side capable of challenging for the title. I'm skeptical... but it could happen.

Wouldnt mind letting Walcott go.
One could make the argument that Walcott deserves those wages but when one starts making such threats its not good and will only promote everyone to start doing that. I think 80k is fair for Walcott.
I would rather both he and RVP were sold ASAP though. Let's start fresh.
I can't see FSG sanctioning £100k per week wages. It would be great having pace on the wings and goals from out wide, but not enough for that kind of money.
If we really wan't rid of Carroll, I hope we do it in the next week or two so we can use the money. Really don't want this to drag into August.

You think he is worse than James Collins? Also, in Lambert we trust.

I don't know who he is but he is probably worse. Name a player and he's worse.

I doubt either the bosses or BR would want to pay Walcott 100k a week. The Ox maybe, he's shown more potential. But we could get someone cheaper and more effective than Walcott from abroad.
Carroll could well drag. Hell he could stay on, remember Benzema at Madrid or Balotelli at Inter with Mourinho? They got more stick than carrot too. It worked with Benzema at least.
Eh why the fuck didn't he cross.
Sammy Ameobi got mad skillz. Gonna be an important youngster for us.

Oh there's football on
Mos def. Was a shame he missed most of last season.
Mint.
He can play up front as well which will come in handy. He's not the strongest player but his pace and trickery will definitely offer a different outlet on the attack, as he can show on the wing.

Looking forward to having Saylor back too. We were undefeated until he got injured
We bought a promising Ghanaian striker from Genoa, with the usual - you know it! - co-ownership formula. Ladies and gents, I give you Richmond Yiadom Boakye, 19 years old. Apparently he's had good season with Sassuolo in Serie B and they almost made it to Serie A.

I will always remember those saves in the 2-1 win against Arsenal. The two from Van Persie and one from Sol Campbell were absolutely godly.
I very much doubt Chelsea are out of the race for Oscar. Inter are just doing trying to squeeze as much of them as they can. If they somehow are out of the running, I hope we do everything to try and get him. Him and Sandro in midfield would be amazing.

Not even one Bayern player on that list. Feels good. In fact, it feels so good that I could just ส้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้ ^_^ส้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้้

What I personally liked about Dragon's Dogma from the demo is that it feels like it's got more "quality" than the standard Capcom set with their Japanese games this gen.
Who's that dc?
Gomes looks like a younger Di Matteo IMO.
He's always smiling, and it appears he loves being around the City squad and his son

By the way you definitely get Rift Crystals when people use your pawn. Randoms have been taking my pawn and she always comes back with some meat or something and some rift crystals.
Eh.. it's janky, like you would expect from a mid-budget Japanese game.
Which is part of what makes it so wonderful. It "let's" you do things and its actually fun since the main gameplay systems are tight as fuck.
"delightfully janky" is how I would describe the whole game. I love it.
Shiiiit. Hope you're alright, Yenrot. No permanent damage, I hope? Home after 6 days, well, no, I suppose not.
Wish you a fast recovery!
Only played the demo so far - but delightfully janky seems like a good word for it. Apparently they did very well with it that they're teasing a sequel already.
Mancini's Dad, Aldo.
He was in hospital last year and it looked really bad. But he got better and he came to a few of the important games, United & QPR to name two.
Now he's pretty much always watching training or traveling with the squad.
Did they give you the proper painkillers?
I had some for when I broke my leg. State of bliss.
tha fuck?
What the fuck :0
