So..not Ozil? :p

We don't need Wilbury, if he isn't putting the team first then we'll just cut him out. We have quiche the legend, so no worries.

I'm going to go edit my pro, make him 5'4.
I'm like an Iniesta who scores. The perfect midfielder :p

So my prediction of you making a midgit messi look-a-like will be right. Wilbury couldn't handle the midfield so he moved to GK :lol

Haha couldn't handle midfield after I left. I was doing all the hard work. Unsung hero. Busquets of BelieveFC.

wasting 45 millions on a 28 (29?) years old Thiago Silva is a huge fucking mistake, don't do it Tito. Besides I don't think PSG will sell him, it's not like they need the money and he would have to take a massive paycut to be part of the team, I'm sure he wouldn't be willing to do that not when PSG is a couple of players away from being an elite european football club.

I have to admit that Zidane has amazing scouting abilities, he recommended Varane to Madrid and they paid peanuts for him. Now he is a world class CB that has tripled his worth. I wish we had that kind of luck :(

THIAGO IS NOT A WASTE OF CASH! HE'S THE BEST!

He'll never go to that shit team, though.

Japanese music at least has a refreshing lack of restraint. Even indie shows that I went to in Seoul were devoid of any creative drive bar its gimmicky electronics. Japan still has a lot of issues that cripple good new music – namely that you have to be a lobbyist for your group, like a DJ more than an auteur, promoting yourself everywhere as no one will ever do it for you until you're signed.

It'll take time for Korean music to lose its derivative nature and phoniness. Korean culture on a larger scale will have to take that step first :p

I agree as whole, but there is a niche indie scene in Korea that is trying to do different (Just like Glen Check, The Solutions and The Koxx). Japan has the problem of promoting the ''wrong'' kind of bands whils some bands are left to rot.

Korea has this social problem that is inherently precipitate itself in being derivative and being fake (Like their faces) and that will not go away as long it is commercially viable route.

At least it has better indie scene than fucking Italy!

Kakitani to Nuremburg?

ラテン文字, KAKITANI Yoichiro. 基本情報 .... 2013年はドイツ1部・ニュルンベルクからの移籍オファーを断り、森島寛晃、香川、清武と受け継がれてきたチームのエースナンバー「8」を継承した。

Says here he turned down an offer to Nuremberg but its from his wiki so likely to not be recent

Edit: Wow, I'm coach of the England national team and I just had a guy score 5 goals in a Euros game versus Finland. Apparently the all-time record for goals in a game during the Euros is just 3. Surprised no one has managed at least 4 over all these years.

Yeah, I remember hearing he turned it down a while back. My shit memory failed me again.


Btw, Omiya's recent form is bullshit. Cerezo is in 6th now.

Yeah Omiya is playing really well.

If Kakitani turned down Nuremberg perhaps this means he and his agent have high hopes for his future. Most Japanese players wouldn't turn down a move to Bundesliga.

well this would be the only time I'll ever boast madrid cantera. you won't hear me say shit for like until we resign a former youth product. having said that, <3 diego lopez. Feel bad for casillas but one does not drop a gk when said gk is on form for one returning from injury.

Falcao would be a waste of money. same for cavani. how many times have I said this? with the way we play, we ostracize the striker to favour cr7 and it will stay that way so as long as mou or the coach after him insists on throwing all the chances to cr7.

despite that benz had a glorious season last year. this year was marred by many variables. once mou is gone, I expect benz to return to his 30+ goals self. he is key to our cl ambitions. i just hope next season we have benz or whoever is gonna be our striker get fucking continuity. you dont see falcao or cavani or van persie rotated like their respective teams trying to figure out who their main man is. we already went through that and it should not have continued. #BelieveInTheBenz

plus we dont need strikers, Madrid need midfield and a rb first and foremost. Want sahin back, carvajal resigned, isco instead of bale, backup cf if higuain gets sold off or make morata backup cf. promote jese or sell him off. not much. very concerned with midfield. we cannot continue with xabi alonso if we are to challenge cl.

I hope so. He has 8 goals in 14 games which was similar to Kagawa (7 goals in 12 games) before moving Dortmund. The difference is that Kagawa was younger when he achieved that. Last season, Kakitani had 17 goals in 40 games. The stats show he has improved. Still, I wonder how his game would translate in Europe. Kagawa was much more of a dribbler and had slightly better technique. Kakitani is a better target man and seems more composed than Cerezo Shinji, but I think he would need to become stronger in order to succeed.

I don't really keep up with all of the young players from J league besides Cerezo. What players do you think have a future in Europe?

The best part about this is that they're in the pose that most reminds me of Bayern.

So funny I was looking at that today. To think I wanted him at Villa! Dodged a bullet there, if he was in charge we would be in a relegation battle. Wait....

To be fair, Norwegian League is infamous for teams that starts out pretty rubbish after winning their league so...

Nah, they just suck. They took their second 1 point this weekend. Teams around them have learned their tactic and keep beating them. They are like Barca of Norway. They only can play one style and once they are figured out, they don't have a plan B.

The current hottness in Norway at the moment:

"So Rob has come in and done well. Rob will probably be my goalkeeper next season. Júlio is in the Brazil team. He is not a player for the Championship. He has got a World Cup coming up so he needs to be playing in the Premier League or a big league abroad."

Julio Cesar is a done man at QPR.

Juve fans: Manolo Gabbiadini becomes a beast in my FM save. Co-ownership is so weird, but maybe he is the answer to your striker problems! :D

A lot of FM stats only date back to the starting point of the game, which would be 2012 in the latest version. Guess it's too much effort to include all such stats from earlier.

Gabbiadini is also a monster on my save, he plays for Man City and scored against me in a CL final.

Promising lad, to be sure. I wouldn't mind him having him as the 4th/5th striker next season. Couldn't do worse than Bendtner or Anelka.

Benzema is one of the few players on madrid to actually bother to show up come cl time. also one of the few players to step up their game whenever cr7 plays a bad game. Also quite productive. 18 goals despite being off form. 17 assists to compensate for benzema's lack of form. certainly not cracking on the goalscoring side of things but he is at least making sure he is not dead weight when he plays. hell wanna hear a fun fact?
Karim Benzema is currently Real madrid's top assist maker for the season of 2012-13. Mesut Ozil is behind by.... just one assist. considering this is an off season for benz I am quite confident in a better turn out next season.

If I had any real complaints of the benz is that he let his beef with mou get in the way of performance on the pitch. that and headers. as much as i love the benz he cant header for shit and quite frankly is the only thing he needs to work on. everything else is either golden or simply requires a consistent run of games.

It probably doesn't have the stats for all the years. Most of the time when you break a 'record', it's since the game began.

Gabbiadini is pretty good; I know his PA. He's had an okay season in real life and scored some Serie A goals, but I'm not sure he's ever going to be a starter.

Marchisio, Vidal and Conte to United. It all makes sense now.

Oh and Vucinic.

They don't strike me as the type of players Mick McCarthy would go for.

But wait, there's more:
Shareholders at Everton Football Club look set to force an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) in order to be able to question Chairman, Bill Kenwright, about the future.
Moyes out.
 
Just want to get this out of the way:

I'm highly skeptical that SAF is leaving, but if he is, then we better be getting one of the best managers in the world to replace him.

If Moyes is so much as mentioned I will laugh until I cry.

I can't really see beyond Moyes or Mourinho. They are almost polar opposites, but nobody seems to know who Fergie would prefer.

Probably not a coincidence that it comes at a time when Rafa will be out of a job, innit?
