I refuse to believe he is going out either, I truly hope he is though. But yeah, him accepting a huge way cut and going to Atletico or Inter is the best bet, and I don't see it happening.
Thanks!

No problem.
If anyone else here has an Xbox One and wants a dashboard preview invite just let me know, you're not guaranteed to get in and obviously its a beta but I've not had any major issues
Do you really think that?
This is a lad who has played 60 Premier League games and started in a world cup all before his 19th birthday. He'd be getting this treatment even if he was still at Southampton imo. In fact, I think he was.

The worst thing about this Lukaku transfer is that it will pretty much confirm we are having another season of Torres being Torres, showing flashes of brilliance to get himself in the team but ultimately being a pile of shite who can't score. Hopefully Costa and Drogba will stay fit enough so he stays on the bench and we spend the Lukaku money well.

Caught offside are saying Juventus have accepted £47million for Vidal, I for one chose to believe this dubious site.

Seems like Kehl stepped down to help the new captain if needed.
I fucking love Kehl. It's a shame he was injured so often and missed so many WCs/Euros, could have been an important player for Germany as well.

I HOPE when the Vidal saga is over they will concentrate on the defensive issue. I hope anyway.

Serie A gaf, is Sau a beast irl?
He has been incredible in my Fifa career season at Cagliari
I will raise you
I'm really surprised at the positive reaction to EA's subscription service. It just seems like a really bad idea to me to buy into. They're a single publisher - going with a console manufacturer's "free games subscription" plan that ultimately includes much more than simply deferring when you pay for your games seems more logical to me. If it were announced for PS4 it'd be a non-starter for me. I guess the fact that I don't like any EA games makes it that much simpler a decision.

and that EA has pretty much nothing coming out soon. Their E3 conference said everything lol. I will just prefer to buy fifa (and if BF ever becomes good again) through the mexican or indian origin store for cheap.

Fucking rediculous player
They are a beacon of truth in these dark transfer times. Wait wut.

The most important thing here is the price is right.
For now, then new games are released then you have the option to upgrade to play the newer titles.
Unless heavy micro transaction based games like FIFA 15 they could give that away for free day 1 and still make a profit.

They offered Season Ticket on 360/PS3 which gave early access to the sports titles and some little bits of DLC free with it for the same price.
The yearly subscription is a great value (imo) for what you're getting, 4 games with full access - more to be added too and you get what you got from the old Season Ticket plus non-sports games as well.
The 10% discount is quite nice as well although I doubt I will use it much except for Peggle 2 and Dragon Age Inquisition DLC.
Putting it into perspective, I spent £20 on this EA thing, I had a disc version of Fifa 14 which I can trade into Amazon for £22.50 (making it essentially free for me) and I get Fifa 14, BF4 and Madden 25 as well (I already own Peggle 2).
It obviously depends on the mileage per person but I doubt either Sony or MS were going to get these titles in PS+ or GwG anytime soon. Monthly fee is expensive but yearly if you're into those sorts of games seems like a no-brainer to me. Its also completely optional, doesn't require Xbox Live Gold to have it (but obviously does for online play)
I will raise you
I know, Ibarbo and Sau up front is sick in Fifa. Adryan behind them on CAM.
Not like they didn't offer to Sony. And it's exactly what it is, a subscription service for people who like or are interested in EA games well at least for now. Isn't this somewhat similar to how Valve started with Steam? I'd like to see the service given a chance to grow, who knows, they might be able to get other publishers on board.
This is a different thing from Steam. My issue with is it the idea that I'd be paying a subscription to a single publisher for older games that I wasn't going to buy anyway. The main thread to me looks like people shopping at Costco for the first time - they buy these huge bulk packages of things because of the value, but in the end they end up paying more, because they've bought things that they weren't going to buy originally.
Anyway did Valve really start off with a paid subscription service on Steam? I was anti-Steam when it first came out, it was just a buggy mess and at the time digital purchases didn't make sense. I have nothing morally against it I'm just surprised that the reactions have been so upbeat, when my first instinct was to roll my eyes at the thought of it. If the EA thing was attractive to me, I'd change my tune about it.

It's pretty different from Steam... That was never based on a subscription. Fifa is the only game I will buy from them and that is through their indian or mexican stores, cause fuck EA. Having bought both Sim City and Battlefield 4 I am done with giving them chances.
I agree with you and I think it sets a horrible precedent too.
Streaming games will become a bigger thing in the future, undoubtedly, but it's difficult to see how a Netflix of gaming could take off.
The movie industry doesn't have 3 different hardware manufacturers, for a start.
Steam was never a paid subscription service but it was mostly Valve games when it started off I believe. I don't see why EA couldn't get other publishers on board if this proves successful. The price is extremely appealing. I'd want to get a digital version of the games they have available, but not for the $60 I'd have to pay to get it on the Xbox store. I'm selling my copy of FIFA once I subscribe to this.
What's the horrible precedent? The games are still available to buy separately if you so choose digitally and/or physically. This is an option that has never existed before.

NBA League pass works well I'd love to be able to sign up to watch every United league game.
They're clearly trying now. Delaying Battlefield. Pushing back Dragon Age. Offering services like this. It'll take a while to build back trust but I'm certainly interested.
Me too.
Arsenal started uploading their matches on the website, a couple of days later, and free of charge not that long ago.
Hopefully we're getting there.

It would be worth it if you got new games included...but seeing as they're hyping up FIFA and Madden 14, games that are nearly a year old with their sequels preparing to launch, I see no reason to switch from PS+

Chelsea are letting him go on the cheap if £24 million is the fee.
Chelsea could have asked for more.

How many times have we heard this from EA? Christ, I can't believe anyone still eats it up. They release their broken ass games, or games split up with the ending in DLC and such, which pisses off people and then they do their "we're sorry". The only reason they delayed Battlefield Hardlines is because people realized it's nothing but a shitty Battlefield 4 mod, a mod for a game that only just started working somewhat for them months after release. Trust is something they earn by not doing this over and over again.
Exactly. But you're assuming they'll continue being the way they currently are to till the end of time. We have no way of knowing that, we can only watch and see and put in our money when we feel comfortable with the company. It's your own decision to make.

It sure is, and that is why I have no real interest in them other than Fifa anymore. They have been destroying my favorite games and developers for 15 years which really is as long as I remember with gaming, and been complete cunts on top of it too. They do the apology speech, gets most people back on their side, just to fuck them over completely once again.

Am told Lukaku fee is £24m, plus add ons based on whether Everton qualify for CL or win a trophy. Total deal potentially worth close to £30m

I don't buy the trying BS - they were trying to do the same thing with BF Hardline as they did 4 and set a release date without any considerations for the quality of the product. But clearly their PS4/PC beta told them they had to delay it, I would guess.
I don't think EA are on some "path to salvation" or whatever, their new CEO seems just no different to their previous one but its definitely the right price and offers me something I want.
