Palermo wants Zeman in the summer....

Established players in those kind of positions would cost a lot of money.

I'd love to see Fergus blow it all on someone like Isco or Gotze.
Yeah I'm thinking along those lines, perhaps James and if we sell another 10% of the club gimme dat Bale.

I don't think we're going to sell him btw. I believe that it's being considered but not sure it will happen.

I don't think we necessarily need another striker right now if we sold him, unless RVP hits 30 and goes spectacularly off the boil. Hernandez and Welbeck are good enough to be second and third choice, Henriquez is coming back, we have Zaha who can play there, Young who can play there, and then those two + Nani, Valencia and Kagawa.

As Sal says, centre midfield should still be a priority. As good as Carrick and Cleverley have been this season, it's the only place right now - apart from the wings but we have numbers at least - where I feel we absolutely need to strengthen.

Dzeko would be a great move for Dortmund. Probably a better player than Lewa all things considered.

Y'know the most depressing thing about this gaming gen for me...

I just don't give a shit about Halo anymore :(
My favourite ever franchise (along with Prince of Persia) just doesn't have the same pull on me anymore and that's very sad. I'm not sure whether it's due to the lack of actual Halo-quality in Halo 4 or whether it's just growing up a bit - probably a bit of both to be honest, but I never have the urge to just throw the disc in and play a few games online which is tragic for me and a Halo game and I'm not even remotely excited or interested to hear about Halo 5. Depressing times indeed.

Has anyone else been feeling this with their favourite games/franchises recently? (especially those of a similar age to me)

French papers are saying that United offered Rooney to PSG last August. They're also saying that PSG aren't that interested in him and have different targets in mind.

Lol, similar feelings with Halo. I sold my Halo 4 copy this week to get Tomb Raider cheap. I feel like a sellout :(

I played Halo non stop from CE to 3. Stopped when Reach came out. Read about Halo 4 changing weapon spawn system and knew it was headed in bad direction.

I see Ajax expect Erikssen to off in the summer, with us and Spurs leading the race.

He's a quality player, but we're just starting to get the balance right upfront, and the only spot up for grabs in the first XI really is RW. Unless he can play there, he's probably best off going to Spurs, he deserves better than our bench.

My folks have had a season ticket to United for the past 5 years and over that time they have told me they see less and less of the old Rooney as years go bye, some games he will appear to have lost his drive to play. Its a shame really, I am a United fan but an armchair one mostly and when i think of the hunger he used to have, the need to impress everyone, with his lack of consistency today its a little sad. Thats not to say he has coasted, just rather that the expectation never really came to fruition and at some point he stopped trying to be the best and in doing so lost some of his passion.

This gen just seems to have been sequel crazy.

Gears of War started out great, lost interest.

Assassin's Creed started out ok, got better then I just lost interest.

Halo again was excited for it but I dunno just lost interest.

Splinter Cell was really looking forward to this gen and that just failed and I lost interest.

Don't know where you get your info but for now there's not much to report on Eriksen. There will be two options for him this summer, contract renewal or leaving for a nice club. So far no club formally approached us so we'll see what happens.

And he's no forward, he's a playmaker. Sort of number ten.

I absolutely love Halo. Halo CE is the game that hooked me onto gaming as a wee 8-year-old chap. I'll never be as hyped for anything as I was for Halo 2. Countless of hours have I spent playing that game co-op with friends and playing 1v2 Team Slayer matches, just because I'm a pro and it needed two friends to even come close to beating me. Halo 3 was my first ever game I played online and I played that a fuckton as well. They just lost me after Reach which was a bit of a disappointment. I even enjoyed Halo Wars!

Hell I frequently listen to the OST's and I have read most of the novels. I just felt nothing for Halo 4. I'm done with the series as far as the games go.

Edit: another one is CoD

I own all the CoD games up to and including Blops. That was the last straw for me. 32 days of total playtime in CoD4 multiplayer. GOAT

"Adnan is a beautifully balanced player," Sir Alex told Inside United. "He's only 18 and still to grow into his frame. But he has good balance, good acceleration and he's a very good technical player.

"He and Nick, of the younger players, are at the top. They're very good.

"Nick has had a few injuries and has had a bit of bad luck so we feel Carrington is the best place for him at the moment [rather than sending him out on loan]. That way, we can work on bringing him on physically and preparing him for next season."

Bought Max Payne and Bioshock but haven't played either of them yet. Except for five minutes of Bioshock then :p

Oh and I bought Max Payne, but I don't even have space on my HDD (old school 20GB one) :(

Why is Rooney such a cunt on FM? Wants to leave because he's unimpressed with team talks, every team talk when everyone else reacts positively he reacts negatively.

Might sell the cunt.

In FIFA players can be cunts too. Eriksen was not impressed by the contract offer I made him so he forced the board to let him leave and there was no way I had influence on that. So he went to Madrid for 20 million :/

Yeah, they really are cunts. And on top of that, RVP is out for 3-4 months right at the start of January, Ferdinand and Vidic are both injured... man oh man.

Top of the league though. 17 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. 4 wins 2 draws in the CL and beating Arsenal 5-1 in the FA Cup 3rd Round with a second string team.

highly realistic

If Meier was here he'd be waxing lyrical right about now.

I'm gonna try and keep the ludicrous transfers to a low just to sate my mind. Don't like it when I can buy Neymar and Falcao in one season. Just gonna manage like I would in real life.

Watch City buy Kaka and Muller though, like in every fucking game

Yeah, I hate when my players get heavily injured. Sometimes it's like all my players are made of glass, softies. But I'm also bossing this season, top of the league, still in the national cup. And three wins (St. Etienne/Molde FK) and a lose (against Schalke) in the CL.

No way Rooney is leaving unless it's for crazy money, this £25m talk is all bollocks. Comes on from the bench for one game and suddenly he's not good enough to start for us anymore. Ooookay.

He'll tear Chelsea apart this weekend and all will be forgotten until the next 'drama'. Really don't know why anyone discusses this rubbish anymore, happens at least twice a season.

I do think it's been blown out of proportion a tad. I can believe that the club aren't as keen about keeping him as we once were, but one omission from the team and all of a sudden his time's up? Considering the fact he did a poor job of it last week and then Fergie's team selection was proven right, it is a bit odd to me.

Who are you, Ajax?

Yep, in my third season of manager mode now. Playing with a mixed squad of young Ajax players (Van Rhijn, Denswil, Boilesen), some of our experienced players (Sigthorsson, Babel) and I bought some players like Adryan, Subotic, Witsel and Assaidi. But I'm planning to leave this season if the right club comes by.
