I will be shocked if that happens. Torres going to them is one thing, but Destro coming to us would be an awful move on their behalf.

What level are you? I'd like to play co-op, but the huge level range ruins the chances of that

Any move involving Torres isn't happening. I'm just giving the full story.

Scholes list of 5 for United to get:
Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Di Maria, Rapahel Varane, Matts Hummels
I would be happy with just two of the above.

We can live in hope.

My mage is 28, I'm starting a different class now though.
And there's a special function for level differences isn't it ?
People with a lower level can still play with higher levels and get even boosted a bit, at least it worked like that when I was playing with a friend.
Not everyone is as fast as Koofo, who's already through the damn game.

Scholes is a fuel. There's no chance of Varane or Hummels, and very little chance of Di Maria. Alonso would be a poor buy imo, and I don't think he'd move to you anyway
Di Maria would also be an acceptable addition.

Scholes, just come out and say you wish United was Real Madrid. Its okay, every team wants that anyway.
Özil cost 50m not sure Wenger's magic works on Madrid's players.

OT4| Ashley Young used to be a good preseason winger, then he took a shit in the mouth
Read his biography!
Man I was just perusing the game section of the electronics store and front and center as I walk up is a video ad of "Bullet Girls" or something and it's got some CG anime girl, butt naked, spreading her legs right in front of the camera and moaning with her vag and nipples censored by little white lens flares. I have no problem with sexiness in games, but right there in front of the escalator?
My boner had a nice little battle with my common sense. At least this one was in a back corner... Lol
Speaking of games, man I want a Wii U now. Still don't have a 3DS either. New Smash Bros, Bayo 2, Mario Kart, Mario 3d world, there's enough at this point that I'm really feeling like I'm missing out.

You could've done that with any other top manager though. Pep is unnecessary and his style clashes with that german efficiency, which Heynckes' Bayern was a brilliant example of. He's also a known cunt.
Hehe.
Loved the way the did it with the Catherine poster.
I don't have a Wii U,but my 3DS wasn't really used that much lately.
Will change soon though with Persona Q and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but first I'm gonna get Danganronpa 2 for the Vita.
Now he won't send you games anymore

Nah, Bla is above petty stuff like this. Besides I'm not attacking him or Bayern, just Pep. The spirit of elsk in strong in me.
Man, reading mercato news is such a rollercoaster. "Juve, contact with City for Jovetic [nicee], Lavezzi could join the bianconeri [not bad, not bad], another idea is Podolski [instant DEPRESSION]"
So many teams are hungover after a cl victory. But pep managed to keep our players hungry while implementing new tactics and strategies.
Vorsprung durch Technik.
Is the biography any good? I have been tempted toward it, just not sure. As for why I don't like him, well it is a lot of reasons. I can get over him moving people into different positions as long as it makes sense. I can understand like Lahm in the midfield, he is great there. But if we are going to do that, for the love of all things great please get a replacement for Rafinha. I can also sort of deal with the possession style, as long as it actually works. We looked extremely vulnerable and terrible at tracking back last season. What I have a hard time handling is his attitude, his resistance to changing his style a bit to accommodate our players, his tinkering with player positions when not needed, and how overrated he is.
I mean honestly, I get we won a ton and our expectations were high coming off the treble season but I think that we really fell short of what we were capable of. We were always going to win the Bundesliga really, it would have taken some serious fuckups to mess that up. I mean seriously, our main competition was Dortmund and they lost like half the starters to injury and still did well against us. The Pokal final was almost a guarantee too, and we did well in our win and I will give credit where it is due. I would no consider any bit of our cl campaign to be successful though. After the group stage, we struggled all the way to our end. Arsenal almost got us, a Moyes'd ManUtd almost got us, and then we were manhandled against RM. It is a notable step down from the previous season, and not just because it is hard to keep that momentum going. The only reason we won BL in record time was because our biggest competition was reduced severely.
As far as I see, Pep hasn't done much to REALLY strengthen our team. He took a treble-winning group and changed their style and won in a league that nobody can touch us in, and the pokal which is mostly the same. The Club WC is a joke, and so were everything else we won really. That said, I will give it time before I make a final judgement but as of right now I am not enjoying him all that much. He still has pretty great clothes though.
You're stronger than you were previously compared to Dortmund being weaker and wrecked with injurues. Any top manager would achieve the same when you have majority the german national team playing for you as well as the best player from both the Netherlands and France.
Dortmund on the other hand have lost Gotze, Lewa, Gundogan long term injury, Reus future uncertain and let you compare? Seriously, Pep has achieved nothing to enhance his reputation at Bayern and he is a Mourinho class cunt. Just not as open about it but a A grade cunt just the same.
Hungry? I don't know where you got that idea because I thought that in most big games we looked pretty uninterested in results. Team looked pretty lazy last year, made a lot of dumb mistakes, had a lack of focus. In some games I would agree but overall it wasn't really much. We seemed hungover for sure.
I think Pep has done a great job taking over. Bayern needed a manager that can carry them in transitionRibery, Robben, Schweini, these are players who are nearing the end of their careers in the top echelons. The transition would be inevitable and Pep has the philosophy and tactics required to control games and guarantee wins.
I know he's a cunt or whatever, but I don't take the personality of people in this profession into account. In football terms, he's a brilliant manager.

Why were they favourites when you had superiority in squad depth and talent? Because they beat you in a meaningless game?
Dortmund may have been the favourites based on preference but they definitely were not the logical favourites. And Pep outplayed them? WTF is that shit. Bayerns BETTER players outplayed them, not fucking Pep.
He is a brilliant manager but Bayern have control over the league both financially and influence. Aside from the Dortmund players they can pick and choose from most other clubs, Leverkusen the other club where they can't steal their players that easily. This gives a huge advantage in any rebuilding when you combine it with Bayerns enormous wealth.
I don't disagree. I mean all things considered we looked likely to lose. The last game against Dortmund had been pretty recent and a good 3-0 thumping at that on our end. We were just destroyed against RM, and now we were going into a game against the best team we could end up against. It was a solid match and Pep did well that time, I mentioned that. Still, the team looked hungry that day and played well on their own without the tactics. In the end it came down to the last few minutes to decide the game though, which was probably helped by their recovering team still not fully fit.
That said, I recall a certain ghost goal by Dortmund that should have counted and would have changed the flow, so I don't know. Sort of luck on our part.

Could produce some good kits of they are as good as their shoe designs. Best classic trainers around.
He isn't bad.
And unlike Elsk, I'm certain that he still needs time.
Neither Klopp nor Heynckes formed the sucessful teams within a year.
Pep got his reputation and people expected alot obviously, but these things usually take some time.
He still made some weird and shitty decisions though.
What I'm really curious about his, if he's able to adept if something doesn't work out, for example his tactics.
Okay, I've said enough good things about him.
Time to wash my mouth.
I hope he turns out to be as good as you believe he can be. Thanks for trying, you're still cool and post a lot of awesome information for the club that I normally find later.
Also, I will read the biography and see how I feel afterwards, thanks for that idea. I had forgotten about it.

Except for Varane all players RM doesn't really need or want
No idea. I just like what we did in recent years. I still remember dark times under van gaal and klinsmann. We have improved so much. And the fact that out of all teams we managed to lure pep to bayern speaks for our development.
We even managed to deliver the base structure for the german world cup win this year.
A dream hoeneß had for years.
Considering we achieved that too, its time to strive for more. I dont mind adding some more foreign players like benatia or bernat.
You have to go with the times. Just look at chelsea. They buy, buy and buy. If we dont want to fall behind again, its time to invest.

Why have we still had no details on FM 2015? This will not stand.

Bought this last night. Real comfortable to sleep in
people still sleep in tops?
I'm tempted to buy it. It's quite the difference from previous shirts, enough for me to justify the purchase. Looks nice and comfortable too.
I'm still gutted I couldn't get one of those Special Edition shirts that were worn last Summer for a brief period in preseason. Only a bunch were ever released and they were so fucking sexy. Even the plain white ones used in some preseason games this Summer are real nice too.
Newcastle never release the best shirts. Always use the shitty ones for their away/third kits.

I'm so scared that Ajax is just going to buy a random old striker, it's going to be Luque 2.0
Fuck, I forgot all about FM 2015. I promised myself I would skip it if it's basically the same game. Maybe if it got a 50% sale at christmas like 2014 did.

I will rate Pep when he can come to EPL and win a league that isn't a two team and in his current position pretty much a one team race.
