So what's going on with Fry8? I hear Galatasary want him on loan AGAIN? No, no, no guys. Just buy him. 7m. And we'll throw in Iaquinta if Fulham don't want this top striker.

Give me a good excuse to do 9-7 tonight instead of 8-6. My boss would probably let me, but he's not answering his phone
We can't negotiate properly with them if there are no other suitors. They know we're desperate and Marotta is going to blink first.
And Liam Miller.

Was hoping to hear something when I got home from work too, what's the hold up?
It better not be money again.
They're, according to obscure spanish sources. http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/mercado-de-fichajes/manchester-united-quiere-isco-2179723
They're lacking in what PSG are excelling.
Their owners want out.

Scared by how rubbish it was next to Dead Space, yes.

Its human nature to be scared of wasting money
Their sugar daddy owners aren't putting any more money into the club.
There were rumours that they were looking to sell the club.

Resident Evil 5 is shite.
I though it was pretty good when playing with a friend. Feel like playing Resi 4 again.

Agreed. Resi 4 was one of the best games ever.w
Co-op makes it more enjoyable from a gameplay perspective but the minute you head to the tribe areas (chapter 3 I think), the game drops in to fucking god awful territory. Worst mid-game I've experienced in some years.
I find Resident Evil 6 to be a billion times more appealing.
Resident Evil 5 is my guilty pleasure game of the generation. I hate many, many things about it and when asked always say it's shite, but it's also probably my most completed game of the generation.
I'm a sucker for any game that allows you to replay the single player with currency collecting and upgrade purchasing, and RE5 was just about short enough/entertaining enough on co-op to give me loads of joy with all that stuff.

Heh, it's up there for me as well, alongside Mass Effect 2, 3, Bayonetta and Deus Ex Human Revolution. Fitting that I have the Platinum Trophies in all of the above as well.
some arsenal musings...
so all quiet on the Walcott front? That's a shame, with Cazorla coming in (and the addition of Podolski), there's definitely more than enough quality on the wings... and there's still no assurance he'll sign a new deal, given he'll almost certainly want silly money. play him as a striker, or ship him the fuck out.
Cazorla deal remains... unfinished. Same with Sahin. And 17 days for M'Vila... I forget when he posted that, but time is clearly running out for our good friend. I'm fine with RVP leaving on a free because I think he would give it his all in his final year to boost his value upon his impending move to Anzhi, but I'd still prefer him to be sold for 20m.
I think Arsenal will probably finish 2nd or 3rd this year. The biggest determining factor will not be our new signings, who are all fantastic, but whether last summers signings, who were all pretty decent buys but almost all in the wrong parts of the team, can make the step up to a title contending team. Gervinho is class, I have faith in him. He had a horrible start to last season, and right when he was finding his feet, he missed the crucial penalty at the ACON. Ox should get time to develop, and with enough depth on the wings, hopefully we won't need to rely on a teenager. Arteta will have a backup and it'll be interesting to see how he slots in with Wilshere.
Key thing is that Arsenal finally have depth; even with last year's best XI (which was significantly weakened from 2010-2011 without Cesc, Nasri and the like), we managed to beat the best PL teams on our day. what we've always needed is depth. Now we have depth in all positions, proven depth, except for RB. I have to imagine Wenger is shopping around for a RB because it is simply negligent to rely on Sagna, who we know is injury prone and probably won't be ready for the start of the season... if he's shopping for a Wilshere cover, he needs to buy a RB. any will do; I never want to see an Arsenal back four made up of four center defenders ever again.
Buy a RB, even Andre Santos level of shit (but certainly not Jenkinson levels of shit), and this team is challenging for the title until the final days of the season, goes further in the CL than any other PL team, and could win a trophy. Even if it is just the League or FA cup.

I missed out on random prediction time earlier, but here goes nothing:
PL: United
Arsenal
City
Spurs
Chelsea
Newcastle
Everton
Liverpool
Mancini will be sacked upon failing to retain the PL title and implosion in Europe
Di Matteo will quietly be allowed to resign
Rodgers will get another year because he will have qualified for the Europa League again, even if missing out through league qualification yet again
No player will score more than 10 league goals for Liverpool
Giroud will score 20 league goals this season, provided he stays fit.
AVB will get another year, might even win the Europa League again (if Levy buys a striker)
this title will be hailed as Ferguson's "BEST EVER" (but it will really be ARsenal and City implosions that hand him the title and, even then, difference between first and third will be... 5-6 points at most)
I'm sipping the kool-aid and goddman it tastes delicious.

Nah. Dragon's Dogma is pretty awesome.
That rumour has been around for a few days now and I hope it's true because HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD.
Was going to say this
On the Lucas transfer. There's a guy on twitter who says Lucas is set to have a medical at United next Monday. Wouldn't really believe him but he did break the Kagawa transfer a while before it happened.
We should give them an extra 4m and take Sinclair off their hands for Obertan.

4 years. Confirmed.
Be still my beating heart.

Wasn't Kagawa to United a well known fact ages before he signed.
I thought it was just his international duties with Japan that held up the signing?

Yeah, this is pretty big news. For the bank anyway, less so for Liverpool. Probably deserves its own thread.
