You guys is it even possible to go from someone who does everything spontaneously with absolutely no foresight, attention span or work ethic into a conscientious and successful person?

Please say yes.

yes, if that person has a specific goal and starts off with small steps. No, if the person just thinks they can turn it around.

edit: if this is a Balotelli question then, I don't know

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

433/442 (diamond)

Fullbacks provide the width/strikers pull out wide too.

Blind plays DM. Herrera and Di Maria either side.

Mata the point and RoonVP top 2.

You need pacier strikers to play that system. See Liverpool last year.

Yes.

Yes.

Traumatize me. I need it. T_T

Lol Shanks it wasn't a Balo question. Maybe it is though. Maybe I am actually Mario Balotelli.

why not?

being the first person is more fun though, so do it in bursts like me :lol


and Balo will never change, he's the black Cassano.

How have you survived in Japan so long if you are not hard working?

Set yourself a goal and start off small.

Make lists of things you want to achieve each day. Maybe you achieve one out of five things on your list at first, but then start working to achieve 2 out of five things every day on your list. Eventually you progress to achieving everything on your list everyday.

 

[Blablurn]

Apparently pep wants one more player

he's getting married, he wins at life as far as I'm concerned. That's the step I don't see myself ever taking.

Di Marzio says Benatia will have his medical tomorrow!

I saw you somehow weaselling your way in with an Agnelli heiress and running Juve in 20-30 years.

 

[Yurt]

Strootman is dead

Rudi Garcia is not happy with the condition Kevin Strootman is in, which could see a delay in his return from a serious knee injury and his unavailability until December.

I'll hook up with Lapo and we'll both bury Agnelli and Marotta in his basement

I'm sure Rooney and RVP are good enough. Hope LVG tries it but he'll probably stick to a 352

I've travelled that journey for the last couple of years and is still not finished to be where I want to be, attention/ethic wise (but I wasn't that low at the beginning, did alright in school). I've read a lot of stories of that thing happening in a short amount of time, but today you at least need an education probably, I guess depending on where you are now.

My girlfriend worked as a cleaner two years ago when I met her and hadn't finished "high school (?)" (school between age ~15-18?), she took a "designer education" and didn't finish the easiest math courses or language at the time. Now she's re-taken all missing courses and also added the advanced ones that is needed to become engineer, took two years. Now she just started this week at university, studying 5 year master of science civil engineering.

The change has obviously taken her the whole two years (and when she started she just wanted to study something easier like basic economics), but the big change was at the beginning when she decided she wanted to do something more with her life. I guess she always had the work ethic though considering she woke up 5am to clean, but she had to learn the rest.

Are you telling Odd to date you?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

We didn't win the title by accommodating Rooney and RVP up front. That obsession needs to end.

 

[Jack cw]

I remember there were rumors that said that Benatia wants €8m per year. No idea if true.

He earns around 2 million at Roma, dont think any club besides Perez Madrid maybe would offer him 8 million. Even at Bayern I think he get something from 4-4.5 million.

 

[Clegg]

Mark Ogden is also writing about Mata's starting place being under threat with the imminent arrival of Di Maria. Says Rooney will play at the tip of midfield with Januzaj and Di Maria on the wings in a 4-3-3.

 

[dc89]

@StuBrennanMEN 1m
Thise who are saying United's money is "earned". You mean you would rather be ripped off by ticket prices than be given the money?

ruh-roh

But what about 3-5-2. Is the philosophy, the system, out of the window after 2 weeks?

 

[Scum]

What shite weather.

4-2-1-3, eh?

 

[Bold One]

What shite weather.



4-2-1-3, eh?

we had a legit summer in years, this is just the blow-back for having it so good for all those weeks

remember the heat waves?

those were the days

 

[Scum]

dc89.99, pls. Man Utd can't play that with the players they currently have. Players like Young can't cut it as WBs.

I like it...

But Mata's done well in that role behind the striker.

Drop one of RVP or Rooney instead.

 

[Scum]

Drop Rooney. He upsets everything.

Yeah. I remember and want more of it. :<

I'm surprised to see not many people in the US use WhatsApp, considering it's very popular in the rest of the world.

Would be happyish with that. Think Mata is better than Rooney in that position overall. Just goes to show the problem of a) giving Rooney a new contract and b) making him captain.

 

[rossonero]

May it be so.

 

[Phlebas]

He earns around 2 million at Roma, dont think any club besides Perez Madrid maybe would offer him 8 million. Even at Bayern I think he get something from 4-4.5 million.

No way he could get 8 million at Madrid.

Thats what Di Maria wanted and the club refused to pay it, would put him at double Ramos wages.

He doesn't have the pull to request that kind of a bump in pay.

 

[LegoArmo]

Benatia himself said he asked for 3m Euros, didn't he?

He felt insulted that Roma didn't even offer him that.

 

[Jack cw]

He doesn't have the pull to request that kind of a bump in pay.

That is why this statement was never really made by him. That guy came like 2 years ago from Udine earning 600k a year. He is 27, highly skilled and this is his chance to get the contract of his life. 4 years at Bayern earning around 4 million net. That is more than Boateng is getting.

 

[D4Danger]

Drop Rooney. He upsets everything.

make him captain you say? sure

here's some money too

My friends in the US use Google. My friends in Japan, Taiwan and the rest of Asia use LINE. My friends in Europe use Whatsapp. LINE is my favorite because of god-like giant stamp emojis.

I have an interview tomorrow which is good. It's also bad because I am incredibly poor at interviews.

[pulga]

Whatsapp is the messaging platform of choice in Latin America. Took us time to topple the evil BBM though.

 

[WJD]

Such a weird state of affairs when I find myself almost hoping that either Rooney and RVP find themselves out for an extended period of time. Think they're both top top strikers when played as "number 9's" but I would rather drop one of them than Mata.

433 with Di Maria and Januzaj on the wings just looks too lovely.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

It is all about Kakao talk.

 

[Jack cw]

Apparently pep wants one more player

Another CM, we dont know who though. Names are Iturraspe, Vidal, Khedira... but I dont think that we will get one. Prices are heavily inflated after Luiz, di Maria and Mangala, so getting either one of them would cost us around 30-40 million, which is unrealistic given that we have Thiago and Schweinsteiger coming back in the next few weeks.

Pace and trickery on the wings.

Maybe you shouldnt have left your best CM go though lol

You need to make a portfolio of Moyes photochops and take that into the interview and go through each one with a completely serious expression.

 

[Yurt]

semi official:

Kostas Manolas is undergoing his Roma medical now and Benatia have reached an agreement with Bayern

 

[K1LLER7]

It is all about Kakao talk.

Isn't this what they use in S.Korea?


-----

United's photographer has gone to the hotel Di Maria was staying in, with a shirt under his arm.

Not long till an announcement. Wonder when they'll do a PC.

 

[Clegg]

FFS United just announce the deal.

Arse is twitching.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

My plan is show the Moyes stuff and wear sunglasses. I'm also going to enter the room smoking and stub the cigarette out on the desk.

and always lie.

yeah, much better than Whatsapp IMO. So much easier to use.

 

[Jack cw]

We shouldn't. I'm still sad, but thats how it is.
And Benatia deal is done. He is there tomorrow in Munich for the medical. Contract details: 5 years, 4 million net. a year. Good.
