Anyway Arsenal fans, you can probably (he's been wrong before, but he's almost always right with Liverpool stuff) breathe a sign of relief,

Told there's no truth in reports #LFC are trying to sign Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia. Had been talk of offering Luis Alberto plus cash

Can someone explain to me how this goal can possibly ruled out for offside?

There's no sign of Arsenal getting him either

We're haggling over £5m

Ref must have thought that the Ipswich player who was in an offside position after the first header actually got a touch on it when he motioned towards it.

Player by the keeper is potentially offside, I can't tell from that angle. If he is then he is interfering with play thus offside. Very tight call though from that angle.

Player right in front of the goalie looked offside, so probably due to him, here're the rules on that type of offside "The IFAB (International Football Association Board) has clarified this. They now say to be considered to be offside the player has to make a clear attempt to play the ball, be close to the ball and have an impact on the opponent, or to make an obvious action to have an impact of the opponent."

interfering with play would be my guess. offside Ipswich player is stood right in front of the keeper and tries to head the ball.

edit: what Floody said.

When the ball is headed toward goal the attacking player is between the keeper and the defender. If he had been out by the corner flag, no problem, but standing in front of the keeper? Clearly offside, but well caught during play at speed.

So Marcus Evans is implicated in the Rio ticket case. How fucked are Ipswich gonna be, I wonder.

He's a well known scum bag. Surprised he's allowed it to come back to him though.

I think it has something to do with EA's own failed football manager game, exclusive licenses and fucking DFL.

Apparently caused by a high boot, real shame if it's long term, he's looked excellent all pre-season and was incredible against Arsenal.

There's also a picture of him leaving Melwood with his arm in a sling, but driving his car, so I'm gonna wait before being really sad.

Edit: here's the pics.

Always wondered why the German nation teams are made up players.

"Im deutschsprachigen Raum wird der Football Manager auf Grund von Exklusivrechten, welche die DFL an EA Sports vergeben hat, nicht vertrieben. Dies ist der Hauptgrund dafür, warum die in vielen Ländern der Welt sehr erfolgreiche Football-Manager-Serie im deutschsprachigen Raum fast unbekannt ist.

Daher wird von den Entwicklern ab der Version 2007 auch keine offizielle deutsche Sprachversion zur Verfügung gestellt, es sind jedoch inoffizielle deutsche Sprachdateien erhältlich."

TL;DR translation: DFL (operator of the Bundesliga) granted EA exclusive rights.

There is also no Football Manager in Austria and Switzerland.

It definitely is in austria. Been playing fm since 2012

Screw germany, Footy Manager need to get their shit together for the japanese league.

The funniest thing is the real German National Team is in the game every year and it's super easy to activate them. It's the first thing I do when I install the game every year.

In German? I guess its just the UK version?

Yeah the uk version but I can buy it on steam legally in austria unlike germans who can't even get the game on steam

What are the rules on region locked games? I assume you can't gift FM to German accounts.

 

[El Topo]

Nah, you can gift FM to Germans. I think the only problem is with games that are substantially cheaper/from those "different tier" regions.

 

[la_briola]

I see. Maybe I should buy FM17, or will it end my life as I know it?

 

[NHale]

It seems Wenger is looking for other center backs and not Mustafi. In Spain they are reporting that Arsenal inquired about Saul Gimenez but were received with a "46M or get bent".

Also one English club approached Garay and he's definitely interested but Zenit president already said that they are not selling him despite him wanting to leave, especially if the offer is so poor as the one they received.

 

[Beefy]

You should and it will.

 

[McMoneyman]

Sky Sports saying its "only" a muscle injury on Mané. Not a dislocated shoulder, will probably miss Burnley this weekend. But should be back after that.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

A discount for every FM you own for FM17 from FM13.

If course the last FM in my library is 12.

He won't be there at 2020.

 

[Audioboxer]

Seems to be the theme for today, in other most likely BS Liverpool transfer news
https://twitter.com/GaffneyVLC/status/765900495693250561


I'd love this to be true though, mostly just to see Arsenal fans have a meltdown.

damn seems I keep getting beaten too.

As discussed further this is most likely FUD, but I want it to be true just so Wenger further gets burned for his idiotic transfer circus.

 

[Lunar FC]

Just heard he Mane news, fuck me.

 

[Floody]

He won't be there at 2020.

I'd be shocked if he was, but Leicester should get really good money now when they sell him.
I think the only reason he was dragging his feet to sign a new contract was that he was hoping a Barca or Madrid would come in for him and they never did. Should kill all the Arsenal rumours at least though.

 

[tim.mbp]

Iker got lucky there.

 

[Syder]

My instincts tell me they've given him more money and basically said 'if we're not challenging for the tile come January, we'll accept any offers that match our valuation of you'. Pretty clever, protects their asset and doesn't make the player unhappy.

 

[toythatkills]

He won't be there at 2020.

He'll be there this season though.

Leicester 2, Arsenal 0.

 

[McMoneyman]

Luckily it doesn't sound too serious! Should be able to get a result at Burnley without Mane. Hopefully back against Tottenham the following weekend.

Apparently, there's no release clause, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has something like that agreed, or maybe it's like what Liverpool did with Suarez after Arsenal's £40m and £1 bid, which was basically 1 more season then you can join Barca.
