Bayern lineups are pretty fun I see:

------------Neuer
Lahm--Dante--Javi--Alaba
----Schweini---Thiago
Muller-----Kroos-----Ribery
-------------Gotze

(In the big games, Javi moves to CM; one of Thiago or Kroos plays at AM.)

Everyone thought Barca would do a CL double, but this team might actually be the first. On paper, it just looks too dominant.

Wonder would Everton fans accept waving Marouane Fellaini off to Man Utd for £23m-plus if they then kept Leighton Baines? Suspect they would

Since when did the feelings of Everton fans matter ?

Fuck em. Take both.

My Bayern lineup would be:

Neuer
Lahm-Dante-Javi-Alaba
Schweini - Kroos
Müller - Götze - Ribery
Mandzukic


Dont think Thiago should start over one of these guys yet.

Finally a Bayern fan with some sense.

Edit: I can't believe some of you Bayern fans are leaving Muller out, are you off your fucking heads?

Agreed that he probably shouldn't, but he will. At least Pep's statements make me think so.

Man, I still have trouble comprehending the current Bayern situation. I think I still haven't realised that Bayern won everything last season.

In the dark days (Magath) we played no role internationally.

Then we bought Ribery (and Toni) and I was happy.

Eventually, I started wondering "How awesome would be it be to have someone like Ribery on the opposite side?" And we bought Robben.

There was always some player I dreamed about or a position I wish we had a different player for.

Now I am only thinking "well, I guess having Messi would be nice".

It is more insane to think that Pep will put Martinez as CB... He is besides Busquets the best defensive midfielder right now. It would be a waste to put him in the back when there is Boateng whos a way more capable defender.

I think you need wingbacks when you play with 3 at the back. Playing 3 at the back isn't really a method of cramming as many attacking players as possible into the XI.

Alright, nice that you noticed.

My next optimistic (and realistic this time) line-up would be a 3-5-1-1:

Neuer
Lahm-Dante-Alaba
Thiago-Schweinsteiger-Martinez (Gustavo)-Müller-Ribs
Götze
Mandzu

Isnt he a City fan?

:lol at the assumption that most Arsenal fans wouldn't welcome Cesc back. He's a top player, and was brilliant for us, of course we would have him back!

It's just brilliant;

Gerrard - Fuck Liverpool fans, they should have let him move to United to win more medals.

Fabregas - He should move to United, the medals he'd win at Barca aren't an issue.

No he's a Peterborough fan. I think. He doesn't like City.

He doesn't like anyone. He likes to be controvertial, but he does it in a way were no-one can actually respect the opinion he puts forward.
 
Goal.com seem pretty certain that Nani will sign a new deal as Moyes wants to keep him. I think I'm alright with that.

What I'm not alright with is the rumour that we're going to offer Garay £6 million a year. Just fuck off with that shit.

Nani, Valencia, Young and Zaha is a fairly decent selection of wingers if you can keep 3 of the 4 of them fit and in form at any given time.

I'm interested to see if Moyes will try and re-create the Baines-Pienaar overlap style he used at Everton.

:lol it's a masterclass.

Some fans didnt like the way he left the club, but i agree that most would love to have him back.

I have to say, I didn't really mind it when he left the club. Obviously I was very sad, but also happy for him as he was going back 'home'. I did think at the time though how they were going to fit him into the team somehow.

Recently, I've realised that the Arsenal shirts I have with names on have all left :( (RVP, Fabregas, Henry) But now I've got Cazorla on the away shirt...fuck lol.

Really? At this point, it looks like Seasons online is going to be a giant Bayernfest. It's probably going to be even worse than the Real-City-Bayern shit we've been putting up with in the last two years.

Don't give a fuck, I'll enjoy playing with them on single player tee hee

He's turning 29 this season so he's going nowhere.

Unless one of Barca's midfielders gets injured or something.

The solution : play with a 2.5-3.5 star team in Seasons.

It makes the game a lot more fun as well imo. (more randomness due to the lower level of the players)

Rooney to Chelsea, Luiz and a few mill to United

Thoughts?

I think it'll be alright. I guess I'm trying to rationalise things like there's no way our wingers could be that poor for two seasons running. We'll see.

Maybe I'll do that too. Would probably feel like cheating though lol.

It was painful last year when I went online and played United exclusively. The relatively poor team combined with my crappy skills made for a frustrating experience. I hit a wall in division 6 I think and just gave up.

I......can't. I can only play with clubs I give a shit about and that's United more than anything else. And it sucks because United is one of the weaker 5 star club. The entire midfield is the definition of mediocre in Fifa.

Some people mentioned that he went on strike to force a move to Barca and that's why they dont really like him anymore.

I think i will buy the new away kit with Wilshere on the back..

Ah!
I feel you though as I can only play with my fav club (Utrecht) but the good thing about that is that I never see opponents like Bayern/Barca etc.

I mostly see opponents from the Championship tbh. (Cardiff, Hull etc)

Yeah, I'm either going to do this...or wait until a new signing arrives (ST?) if that ever happens lol
 
Fudge, it seems like we're stuck with Motta, Jorge -Uruguayan Bebe- Martínez, Ziegler and Ashton Kutcher. -_-

It still shocks me that we bring some of these players back--namely Motta and Martinez--despite having absolutely no place for them. And they are in photos of training! Seems crazy to me. Wonder why Melo isn't training with us then?

I'd be happy to keep Ashton Kutcher about but what's the story with everyone else, Yurt?

Haha luck you then. How far did you go in Seasons? And does the matchmaking take long to find you an opponent?

Sergio Busquets has signed a new contract with Barcelona. Extending his deal until 2018. His new release clause is ϵ150m.

Happy Birthday you cheating cunt!

€150m?

That's like two Neymars rolled up in one transfer.
