Term-X

The cup makes the season rather long though, even now we've still got 2 months to go. Having a cup every season would just prolong player development/promotion/amount of titles won etc etc..

Lukaku won't be loaned, he's explicitly stated so. Also, what do you mean by the horrors of Shevchenko & Torres?.. on what planet does that relate to not trusting a new 'kid'?

Yea, I noticed that. She bought a few youngsters at the start of the season too, expected big things. Cup games this tuesday should be interesting.

I had to wait 22+ days for my last youth player, it depends on when you last accepted one..

Yea, I've just accepted a youth name. Kyle something..right?

Lmao, I've noticed that. He puts allot of effort into his tactics when facing me, only to become inactive for the rest of the season.

Wow.. When a player usually signs here, or anywhere for that matter. The usual generic response through the media is all we're treated too. Instead, we get this… an incredible reaction to the bridge from Romelu, captured in a moment free of any obligation towards the club. His attitude can never be in doubt now.

Bringing back the 'joined dates' on the user profiles would also be a good idea.

So the transfer fee is reportedly around £20m.. Unless anyone has heard otherwise?

This is truly a Baffling transfer. Completely not what we need right now, with only 8 days until the PL season starts.

I've also noticed that now when you click on 'new posts' and then a thread, you are no longer directed to the last post you viewed. On the last system, you clicked on the thread title, and it would send you to the last post you viewed in that topic. Now it's all manual. The last system was better, as it would guarantee you wouldn’t miss a post. Now people will just click on the last page instead of being automatically directed to where they left off.

I thought we were pushing for more? Clearly those reports were bullshit, still a nice bit of business though.

No. The avatars are microscopic now, they used to be 160x160. Big disappointment for anyone who creates graphics on here.

28 minutes in Kalou refuses to pass to Torres, yet Torres generously gives kalou a golden opportunity 5 minutes later.. smh Impressive performance from Sturridge, hope he gets 90 minutes.

If no other clubs are chasing him, I don't see why this can't wait until next season. He's low-priority.

Props for the votes. We are only text on computer screens, with personalities arbitrarily assigned to us by our own consciousness. So I appreciate the sentiment. Just goes to show how some admins on here are incredibly out of touch with their own community.

Let's do an 'Obama' and request a birth certificate.

Commiserations.

It's dubious & arrogant, I'd rather Chelsea had not agreed to a deal like this.. but what's done is done.

Incredibly underhand & unprofessional for Barca to add buy-back clauses for every player they off-load. Villa-Boas wanted this guy at Porto, so at least we know this is his transfer, which can only be a good thing.

I actually like the colour combination. The design needs work though, don't like the white on the front of the collar.
