Can anyone give a brief recap of The presser? I missed it

Had a feeling we'd get a confirmation like this by Saturday so that he can join us on the 1st of Jan itself. Nice to see us getting a deal concluded ahead of time for once.

Absolutely. We shouldn't even be considering him in our plans atm until April at the very least if he's shown some consistent level of form.

Yep but the worst part is he won't be able to for another six months. Kind of wish we hadn't played him at all so he could have gone somewhere. I'm sure he'd be getting some good playing time at a championship club. But then again he might get a couple of starts when Drogba goes to the ACN

Ah cool. This timing works better for me since I'm 8 hours ahead of you guys lol

I know. They must have been laughing their asses off after we signed that deal (if true)

If it is true, blame lies with the club for agreeing to such a ridiculous deal. No need to blame Barca (for once). It's pretty insulting that we agreed to such a deal. We're not Peterborough United. I understand that we'll still get to have a quality player in our team for a season or two, but the entire concept of it is infuriating.

Yep I think the agreement between the two clubs will be announced by Sunday and he'll be at the Bridge on the 1st to sign the contract.

How does the league work? Is it two matches a week?

lol. no way Sam is ready for first-team action. What if JT/Luiz get a long-term injury? Then we'd have to deal with Ivanovic playing at CB and Bosingwa at RB which would be disastrous. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. If he doesn't play/perform well he will be here for 2 seasons MAX.

This is depressing. It kinda says that it isn't a first refusal but they can recall him if they want (if the player agrees, obviously) and we can't do anything to stop them.

Meh. If he wants to go there then let him go there. Same thing as Pastore. Wouldn't want such a player in my club anyways.

lol these three players are probably worth more than Torres That isn't the best logic. Djimi Traore is a Champions League winner. And he is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen in my life. My example is a bit of a stretch compared to yours but you get what I mean

It really was. Absolutely shocking defending

lol what happens to the teams when the members aren't active? does it just keep selecting the same squad and tactics over and over again?

lmao

How do you like it?? I've heard great things about it

:lol: I hate the simulation thing. Jesus every time the score numbers light up, I get a shock lol I wish it'd be like FM's live-text - where you get the normal commentary and the numbers only light up if a goal is scored.

LOL stupid thread

I think they mean Brazilian dollars not USD

Right, didn't know there already was a topic! Gave up on Sony Ericson phones a long time ago lol so no idea

Until last week, I was using an iPhone 3G but it's in a really bad condition so am now using a Nokia E72. It's average but the text and call features are alright, plus I have an iPod Touch now as well so it's no big deal. Was thinking about getting the new iPhone but it costs over $1000 which isn't really worth it. What about you?

Agree, a playmaker is a higher priority. Our strikers aren't getting enough chances to put away. We're the opposite of Liverpool. They're creating loads of chances every match but don't have the players to finish.
