Andrew

I've been a member on here for ten years! I'm 26

This news is indeed not new news but old news. We got engaged in 2014 but I'm not one to harp on about stuff over and over again.

Haven't been away properly for a few years now but Prague in March with some friends, Portugal with my entire family for a week in April and then Edinburgh for a few nights with my new Mrs after the wedding in June. and then I've no holidays left to take from work until Jan

Oh I might do that too, depends on the situation. I've only recently started regularly rotating so I can cope with more players in the squad rather than a very strong 11 and journeymen as subs.

I rotate them for a bit anyway (I like rotating) and move on the first teamer when an offer I like comes in and the other guy is doing well enough

Aye but we haven't. We've spent a fairly average amount for a PL player from a PL club because all PL clubs have got loads of money these days.

Its irrelevant, Riviere was shite for his fee, he'd be shite for £20million and he'd be shite for 500k. I don't give a shit how much we pay for anyone, I care how they play and how we do with them in the side, if he makes us better then I'm glad we signed him.

Same. I suppose the assumption is that there is a budget that this is taking money from that could be better spent elsewhere, don't reckon thats really the case though

Now I've got a squad I like that has good depth and is the right age I'll be looking at youth, had plenty left over to pick up 3 promising players who have been loaned out to my feeder clubs for the season

This is going to be a terrible game of football.

He was a tank for me last season but has started by getting sent off a lot this time round. I signed Mussachio as my 4th centre half, him and Martins Indi are good enough to cover but I'd just made Sokratis my vice captain... Yannick Gerhaart(I have definitely misspelled that) is in as cover for Digne but can play as a CM as well which is hand y as my captain Leon Goretzka(hes ace but injury prone) has just got himself out for 3-4 months :/ I actually forgot that I have Mario Gotze yesterday retrained as a striker but perez is keeping him out since he just won't stop scoring. Signed a couple of youngsters as backups but got a takeover just as the transfer window closed. The bloke who took us over then immediately floated us on the stock market and raised...£0, fucking berk! Still, I kept my squad together despite numerous bids for literally every one of my first team squad, couple of them were unhappy with it but they've got over it quickly.

Playing a lot of this at the moment, about to start season 4 with us, have a very good team and finished 4th in season 3 having been 7th and 6th beforehand. Team Rulli (this guys ace and replaced Krul after the first season) Janmaat/Vrisjalko Papastathopolous/Doria Martins Indi(Just sold Glik) Digne (was rotating with Kolarov who just left aged 33 need to sign a rotation option now) Weigl/Talisca Goretzka/Wijnaldum Brozovic/Garmash Odegaard/Iturbe Perez(Hes really good, got rid of Mitro a bit ago and need depth here before season starts) Turan/Mertens (These are both 32 now and Turan can no longer run, just signed a guy caled Alisson from Cruzerio who will be first choice this season)

Aye, him and Obertan at Bordeaux As I remember, Obertan was considered the better prospect...

I don't think he was. He's been used as a wide player most of the time and had one good season before we bought him at striker. Then we bought him, beat that out of him by making him do nothing but defend and now we use him as a holding midfielder. At first, used naturally, he was picking up goals for us and looked decent

we need someone who can finish right? Swansea are apparently looking at this guy https://streamable.com/uymd

Seems to be having a good season (according to whoscored). I thought he was more of a forward but it seems I am well out of date and he is more of a CM these days. According to whoscored... + Strengths Aerial Duels Strong Holding on to the ball Strong Defensive contribution Strong Tackling Strong

Good effort from Martinez yesterday http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/goodison-cat-reminded-me-cecil-lion-martinez?#:eW1j-SRNcl602g

Thats what we said last time, people were tipping us to go straight to league 1. That happens to clubs whose finances arae in ruins, we're steady in the regard

On the plus side, I really did enjoy our championship season, we were on telly loads and won almost every week

Aye, the board will be furious that we've not had a cup run

Or southampton, or charlton and so on. This is a bloke whose senior strikers have scored a grand total of 1 goal this season being told he could do with a goalscoring striker and being a twat about it. Sums him up

Hes been on about building a team around Jermaine Defoe this morning as well. Building a team around a 33 year old...

He might've been once but hes 25 now and has hardly played in 3 years. Bayern aren't letting a decent player go for less than a million pounds. Hes only signed an 18 month deal as well.

Exactly what we need is a centreback who has played 23 matches since 2013, none being this season? or perhaps the 19 year old serbian midfielder who has already been loaned back to the serbian league.

The problem with most of those applications is that a screen works just as well. The mars thing for example, curiosity has a camera that you pan, it has one lense, why is VR better than a screen that multiple people can see and costs a fraction of the price?
