Just watch youth tournaments. You don't need FM.

Looks like a younger Zamparini. Cannot unsee.
Hah never thought about that. It's Tobias Linderoth, just as insane.
Yeah .
If someone has the capability of doing that, that's great. But that's a.) rare and b.) very focused and not nearly as widespread or comprehensive.
holy fuck how have I not heard this before
its amazing
you sound a bit like Morgan Freeman crossed with Schwarzenegger in it.

It's ok to be a racist, Bacon. Well, it's not, but we accept you even with your tendencies towards viscous racial intolerance.

Ah, sure, it's good as a rough guide, but if FM wonder kids were accurate then Valeri Bojinov (FM08 callback!) would be one of the greatest players in the world right now. And I'd say there's a large percentage of misses, which reflect real life - who would have expected Ozil or Modric to be playing for Madrid several years ago? who saw the extent of Klopp's Dortmund revival coming back then? Not you or me. And not FM either. Basically, the game is more a lagging indicator of youth talent than a leading one IMO. Eagle-eyed watchers of youth tournaments and such are on the cutting edge.

Fixed.
If I say you've got to see this movie, I don't mean you literally have no choice but to see this movie. I'm saying if you're a huge fan, you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing it. I didn't say if you don't play FM, you're not a proper fan. You've literally invented words out of thin air. I said if you want to know who the best talents in the football world are, then you need to play FM to be aware of them. That is absolutely true.
Most people are fans of their team and completely oblivious to the rest of the teams in their own league let alone in the world. So no, I don't think they'd be familiar with young talents. I'd wager most aren't familiar with their own team's young talent.
You've used an absolute false equivalency and continue to do so.

not even for 50 mil?

Takes less time doing that than FM. And it actually shows them playing. The Toulon tournament is coming up and will feature u-20 players from Brazil, Congo DR, France, Colombia, Belgium, Mexico, USA, Korea, etc... It's very easy to see who the standout players are.
The last u-17 world cup showed Yesil and Emre Can beasting.
It's much better than FM. FM probably tells you Fierro is one of the best talents, yet he's not getting much playing time for Chivas. All you have to do is watch games or read others talking about their youth talent on forums. A lot more comprehensive than FM.
And even though I just said that, youth tournaments are deceiving as well. A kid might be beasting at the youth level due to his physical advantages and the technical player will come out of nowhere and become the better player. Youth teams are always changing to from age group to age group. Not everyone continues on the same path as their youth teammates.

We rejected 50 mil from Bayern already.

If Real can pay €93m for Ronaldo and €65 for Kaka, they can pay a solid €70m for Vidal. I'd probably accept the transfer at that fee, provided we had a solid alternative lined up.
Probably.
Edit: raised my price to €70m. You waited too long, Real.

Would anyone agree that moving the CL final to Saturday was a good idea?
Klopp is so fucking awesome. Shove your Mourinhos up your arse

When negotiating his future at the club at the end of the season, Conte stipulated that Vidal and Pogba be untouchable, no matter the price.
70m in the hands of Marotta? Yikes!
If you look at FM 2010, Sahin, Hummels and Subotic were "wonderkids." In 2011, they just had Gotze and Koch but in 2012 they had Gunter, Koch, Leitner, Gotze and Gundogan. 2013 includes many of them and Bittencourt (also in 2012 but with Cottbus). Koch has been hampered by injuries so he's never taken off but they've nailed it otherwise with their young players. Of their best young players, more or less all of them have been identified as future stars with the exception of Reus.
does that background recording carry over to the tv stuff?
i dont have a dvr so having Moyes unveil Bale at old trafford recorded on my xbone would get me to buy one

It's going to be amazing especially with kinect. "Congrats you have seen Emilia Clarkes tits in game of thrones without getting a boner".
Kermode's review of Hangover III is so good
My tactic of podcasting on Mondays makes the early-week commute a much more joyous experience, but it does make waiting to listen quite painful!

XBO has no DVR function.
She has really nice nipples.

I don't know much about game of thrones. But I know this is true.
He sums up my feelings for this sordid little franchise very well, I do enjoy Kermode a lot. His Sex and the City 2 review and his Pirates 3 reviews are other highlights.

Her tits look like bleh now, there's much hotter girls to look for anyway
Double post but it's so worth it:
Inter have officially appointed Walter Mazzarri.

BUT HOW? HE WAS THE SPECIAL ONE!!

Dortmund better not pull any German Cup shite tomorrow. That performance was bordering on the disgraceful.
I apologise for misreading part of your argument.
But I will stay that you're putting far too much emphasis on the importance of FM.
you must have forgotten to take your pills today

Upton's hips and arse are weird, and no I'm not one of these sharp knees types. Look at them, they're really not normal lol
Yeah, it's not like she's ugly or anything but again, in that Rikku picture she looks so much better. Every part of her looks fake now. Face, boobs, etc. Even when not in the Lollipop getup, she looks like a porn actress. Not for me.Her tits look like bleh now, there's much hotter girls to look for anyway

Kate Upton is ust one of those models where I just don't see the hype. Her boobies are the only particularly notable thing about her imo.
Obviously would though
Laboured is kind or right.
Kate Upton is very attractive but she's a bit weirdly proportioned.
Yikes, I knew they had a shitty second half but that really illustrates it. Yikes. They lost Sneijder and added Kovacic.. did they bring anyone in who was established in January? They had terrible injury problems too, didn't they?

Losing Coutinho destroyed their team spirit.
