Support NeoGAF

[El Topo]

I am indeed. Werder Bremen fan for ~20 years now. Tough times, tough times but we'll survive (hopyfully).
And following Arsenal for a few years now. Can't hurt that with Mertesacker and Özil two former Werder players are playing for the Gunners now, too. ;-)

Well, finally someone that supports a good club. Welcome.

 

[arkon]

Hey, I wasn't being disparaging about the genre, just I'd never played one before

I wasn't sure if it was my thing, and as it turns out, it is. Or at least this particular game is. Pillars of Eternity still looks too retro for my tastes

It's definitely playing on the nostalgia for older games of its type, with hopefully enough UI improvements etc to make it feel more modern. The big attraction for me is the writing and roleplaying elements that come with Obsidian's expertise in the genre.

 

[Barzul]

Never even heard of Quintero.

Signing another CAM would be odd, to say the least.

Ain't happening.

No one understands Wenger's mind. He signed Chamberlain for 15m right after we sold Nasri and Cesc. He basically does what he wants.

 

[Walshy]

Sanchez is going to be played as a striker then I guess.

Welcome Arsebro

 

[Salvadora]

Welcome, Locke Lamora!

I'm sure Arsenal will increase their fanbase in Germany by becoming a mini colony.

Like, what else is there in a RPG? The deeper those elements are, including combat, the more fucking awesome it is. "Old school" has nothing to do with it. At all. Please Hitcher, you're so close. Don't turn away now.

 

[Barzul]

Pretty much guaranteed at this point. If this deal is true, we'll probably just sign Khedira next and be done. No major exits.

 

[wedward]

Really?

He's always talking about consistency on the pitch, in terms of players playing, and warning against the "technical risk" of bringing in too many players in a transfer window.

I am sure he believes that when the backups are shit and he doesn't trust them.

It wouldn't be a proper summer transfer window if we didn't sign a small attacking midfielder.

Preach it.

anyone play the South Park game?

 

[Mr.Marston]

Sanchez will be used across the forward line. His versatility is one of the main reasons Wenger went for him.

 

[Walshy]

Pretty much guaranteed at this point. If this deal is true, we'll probably just sign Khedira next and be done. No major exits.

Khederia - Ramsey
Quintero
Ozil Sanchez Walcott

That is a ridiculous front six.

 

[Salvadora]

Wenger would try and get away with using the same 11 every game with very minor changes if he could.

Plays players until they burn out.

 

[Probity]

At this point I might as well choose Arsenal as my Premier League team with all my Germans representing. Dunno how I feel about that.

 

[jtb]

would? he already does.

 

[Salvadora]

would? he already does.

Too many injuries to do that m8.

I think he means disrupting the 1st team. As it stands, we've only bought 2 first team players, and only one was out of necessity. Ospina won't start yet, neither will Chambers. Debuchy has to and Sanchez will slot in automatically. Quintero most certainly wouldn't be a starter yet, and if Arsene see's players like Podolski, Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky's time with us coming to an end in the next year or so, why not buy a replacement now while they're still around so we don't have to do a bedding in process this time next year after they've left? That's just what I'm thinking.

Obviously that hasn't worked out the past 9 years. He can change. Like I've been saying, Wenger wants to win the CL in the next 3 years. Building a squad to do it.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

How far along are you?

Still doing side missions and exploring the outskirts of Cyseal, but I think I've hit a few dead ends and can't figure out where to go for them. Including the main quest

 

[wedward]

Vermaelen is leaving. We will sign a CB.

It's completely understandable from a logical perspective when looking at the age of some of our players and others who I'm not sure Wenger trusts (Podolski).

But, at the end of the day, it's a problem that could be sorted out later which is why I'm surprised if it's happening now.

Could be bullshit, though.

 

[Labadal]

Good to see I am not the only football gaffer that is playing Divinity.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Sergi Domínguez @FutbolSergi

Reading Atleti have completed the signing of Bakkali for €2m[!]. One of the greatest prospects of this decade. Fantastic deal.

 

[Jarnet87]

It's buy Quintero now for cheap, or watch him have a great season and then deal with Porto's 35 million evaluations.

 

[wedward]

Wenger would try and get away with using the same 11 every game with very minor changes if he could.

You mean he would play his best 11 in every game if he could...

That's not unique to Wenger.

Before part of the issue was he didn't trust the backups. I think he is more likely to trust the backups when they are players like Santi, Wilshere, Arteta, Ox than when they were flamini, Gervinho, Bendtner.

greatest prospect of this decade with the worst attitude of this millenium. Have fun.

 

[Zabojnik]

You fuckers better buy Pillars of Eternity when it's released. If it doesn't sell at least 500.000 copies I'll rage.

 

[Salvadora]

Carl Worswick ‏@cworswick 28m
Having seen hundreds of live games in the Colombian domestic league over the last four years, JF Quintero ranks as the most impressive.

No, I mean he isn't the biggest fan of rotation like a lot of other managers are.

 

[Barzul]

Some journo has Quintero's flight info to Heathrow wtf.

Which makes me wonder why we still haven't signed a real out and out striker. I thought Remy was guaranteed this summer even with Sanchez.

 

[Abraxas]

Its happening!!!!

 

[Manager]

Preach it.

anyone play the South Park game?

It's fantastic, must buy for any fan of the show. My GF just sits next to me to watch the jokes like it's a TV episode.

 

[Salvadora]

Some South American GAF member book the seat next to him on the flight and see if it's true.

Please, Elche.

Its happening!!!!

You cut out the comparison to Messi!!

 

[Timurid]

3-0 Toro

On their way to Europa League glory!!!!!!

Right, which I think comes down to having shit backups. We will see I guess.

Either way, I am excited. Really not too bothered where he will fit or how much he costs. Club can worry about that. Young exciting talent is good.

This is where it gets interesting gooners, ONE player wenger wants to announce as soon as THIS weekend, the 2nd in the next coming weeks 2/3

Jimmy Chilides ‏@Jimmy_Chilides 3m

Same source as previous, I've just had confirmed the 2nd player who is close to signing, will reveal name next Tweet

Jimmy Chilides ‏@Jimmy_Chilides 54s

Khedira

 

[Abraxas]

Hold me salva, CL is happening.

 

[Salvadora]

In Jimmy Chilides we trust

 

[johnthequad]

Not sure if this Quintero stuff is true. Seems so sudden. But we have been linked to players like Douglas Costa so who knows.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Dan Carlin sounds like a proper honky-tonk redneck when he says 'again'

Love it

 

[omgkitty]

In Jimmy Chilides we trust

So Quintero and Khedira are happening I guess?

Oh was it Khedira? I had his page open but it didn't come up. Looks like he already deleted it.

Chambers was also sudden.

 

[omgkitty]

LOL he deleted it already??? WTF He deleted both of them.

 

[Lightning]

Muppet mode over a colombian journalist? Not amused, Refuse to believe this until someone else confirms our interest.

 

[jtb]

I really really hope that by keeping the tech side of things pretty simple Pillars of Eternity won't be a buggy, unpolished, borderline-unplayable mess. because I love Obsidian but they have Bethesda-tier QA

 

[johnthequad]

Just watched a couple of Quintero videos. He has immense balance. Maybe he can play further foward as a false 9.

 

[Barzul]

LOL he deleted it already??? WTF He deleted both of them.

Yeah he did. Good thing you caught it though.
