If Totti told me to bend over and pull down my underpants for a right good rodgering, I would do it with all my heart. He probably told Iturbe just that.
Don't worry about it. Debuchy was decent at the World Cup. Was a bit hit-and-miss the second half of last season but during the first half he showed legitimate class. The guy is hot and cold but a decent RB to have all the same. He'll do well for Arsenal I think. Playing for a better team will hopefully bring out the consistency more.

Had his boots on today mate.
Deal with it.
If he is healthy the right wing is his.

Well it's true. It's not good logic.

Ah how cute, he really does think he will be healthy/displace Gnabry.
This is good logic.

Displace Gnarby from what? The bench? Gnarby can't even displace Ox.
Theo's record is pretty good.
Aside from last year he played 43, 46, 38 games the past 3 seasons.

The away kit is trash, but I've grown to like the home kit.

It's going to be too easy, I probably can't even be bothered to finish the season
Darmian and Caulker was replacement for Ivan who got angry for whatever reason... but then I realized Madrid wanted to sell Varane too, so now I got too manyt CB's.... AAAAAARGH, time for 5 at the back. Managed to sell Torres and Mikel though, so got good money overall. and Cech just flat out accepted being a back up when I told him

Debuchy just needs to make sure he has his speed boots on when he has to cover Merts arse.
I won't, some people just want to be knobs about it. That's what I am hoping from him!
Sagna was our old right back, Debuchy has been keeping him out of the France starting XI for some time and he had a good tournament. Why shouldn't I be positive about him?

Gnabry is already a better winger in every single aspect than Theo except finishing, and Ox is an average winger. Theo might be the worst footballer
in relation to skill and all that jazz

Ramires tutoring?

Ah shit, time for work ;(
edit: yes he is Sal. Gnabry has the ability to beat players based on attributes other than speed. Theo can't do anything other than knock the ball forward and run

Romeu needs to learn to be more dirty, ok.
Trying to sell Ramires anyway. Year of the Chalobah.

No he really isn't. It's hard to say how badly the injury has affected Walcott, but if he finds his form, even when he hasn't been very consistent, he is a good bit better than anything Gnabry has shown so far.
You have to wonder if he even watches.
Gnarby has tons of potential. That's about all I am willing to say at the moment.

Looks so cheap, like Nike said fuck it last year let's spend five minutes designing this.

I never said you shouldn't be positive over the signing. I like the signing actually. I'm just saying the logic used was poor.
Well damn. Debuchy isn't the second coming of Thuram but he's a good like for like replacement of Sagna so I am happy.
And Theo is fantastic. Definite starter once he is fit.
Yawn.
Who'd want him though?

Don't blame me for your shit logic. Hey guys, Sneijder was the starter for the Netherlands, arguably the 2nd best team at the World Cup, he will be a good signing!

Ok.
You have to understand where Juventus come from as a club. Historically, we've never been a spending club. The Agnelli family, our owners, are one of the richest families in Italy (and elsewhere I suppose). But they also own Fiat, a hugely influential and politicized company that has seen its fair share of ups and downs (more downs than ups) over the past 100+ years of continued exsistence. The Agnellis, the recently(ish) departed Giovanni and Gianni especially, have always had this - for the lack of a better expression - aristocratic-progressive way about them. Yes, we're rich & powerful, but spending 50 billion lire on a football player, when hundreds of Fiat workers live in constant fear of getting sacked, just wouldn't do.
Besides, it's cheaper to just bribe the refs, amirite?
Then the big recession of Italian football started. Then came Farsopoli, which was another huge blow both to our club and calcio in general. All the while the Abramovics and other ultrarich oilgarchs came out of the woodwork and started pouring money into football and there's no way a self-sustaining club of our mould could ever compete with that. As far as Juve's ownership goes, Gianni and Giovanni Agnelli, both true to God Juventini in love with their father's club, passed away, and the company went to the other brench of the family, the Elkanns. John Elkann doesn't give a shit about Juventus and would rather invest 400M€ in fucking cricket (true story) or F1 / Ferrari than spend a tenth of that on Juve. Lapo Elkann ... nevermind. Andrea Agnelli, our current president, is a Juventino through and through, but one without the wallet. Could Exor, the investment company controlled by the Agnelli family, blow 100M€ on Juve on a yearly basis? Easily. Will they? Absolutely not. And so here we are today. Going by on what we make in a decadent league, with next to no help from our owners.
It's easy (and fun!) to blame it all on poor Marry, but our problems reside much further above.

Some sensitive souls about these days.
Wish things would go back to how they used to be. Much better back then.

Theo is a bust and some if you have to stop defending players just because they are on our team. Theo is a very good finisher from close range, but without his speed he is an average player. Gnabry shows so much more than Theo.
I can't wait for Sanchez to show just how average Theo is.

You're really leaning on that "arguably" bit here.
Edit: missed the convo. Feel free to ignore.
loooool. God I love FM!
And what was Milan's bid? 0 up front and 30m over 48 months?
Back when AwsomeAnimals would post innit.
Lol we are fucking assholes.
Totti is a good player, but without a leg he would be average.
Like, who cares? He has speed. What does it matter what kind of player he is without it?
Sounds like solid logic to me.
Bout damn time!!
He is no David Bellion, 99 pace in fifa
