If alot of these changes come in I predict a very slow start to the season, with the injuries even alot of last years players are not used to playing.
Gonna have to be patient till Christmas again I feel.

By Vivalabanter Go To PostHaven't even been on GAF for the OT in like a month.It's putrid right now. And I don't see the point in trying to revitalize it. Heavily moderated, everyone acting pathetically on their best behaviour... and can still get banned at any moment for any reason (even outside of football discussion) and will have to resort to this place, so why not save everyone's words and energy and banter for SL&ENT.
Kind of miss it.
Our true safe haven.
The promised land.
By Probity Go To PostDouglas Costa?For what it's worth Douglas Costa is probably the most talented Brazilian Shakhtar have ever had. Better than Willian and Fernandinho.
What a fucking flop. Been Pep'd again I swear it.
35 Million Euros? Come on Bayern what the fuck are you doing? This is so fucking 2005 of us I swear.
By Vivalabanter Go To PostHaven't even been on GAF for the OT in like a month.No you don't. And shouldn't. They have our names on a list in Notepad, m8. The moment anyone mentions anything outside of football, and let's face it we will, we doomed. It will be the perfect excuse to heavily moderate anything football related.
Kind of miss it.
By Sviatoslav Go To PostFor what it's worth Douglas Costa is probably the most talented Brazilian Shakhtar have ever had. Better than Willian and Fernandinho.I mean I've heard and read good things overall, but when I've seen him play I've been consistently disappointed. When Shakhtar faced us this year, he was completely inconsequential - you could barely tell he was there. Just stood around most of the time. I want to believe he will be good, and I know he's still young, but I really don't logically think this will work well in our favor.
And it isn't just that. I'm tired of buying lower-rate players. Bayern's been doing it forever and it finally looked like we were going to be trying harder with transfers when we were getting like Götze and Lewa. It looked like we wanted stars. Then we're here again buying potentially average guys, and this one is severely over-priced too. Bernat-type transfers I am fine with, and if we can pick up that one Italian kid to replace Rafinha on the cheap I will be overjoyed. This though, this is too much for a player that - while we need a winger - could be a major flop for us.
By klopp4batong Go To PostHaha, yeah, I have added 'his' Facebook account, Tobias the_destr0yer./dead
Remember asking him once, as he seem to be a master of all trades on the interwebz, where I could buy the sounds of a massacre volume 2. Got a like at least.
Bertolacci would improve us if true. I don't really care how much he costs, this market is insane.
Would still need another midfielder, a defender and two strikers to challenge for Europe though.
I really hope the cunts that participate there now get banned as soon as they get comfortable enough and go off-topic.
Hell, I'll be the first to report it... I mean, snitch.

“I think Tri-Ace’s sort of attitude…is that we want to make something very unique and new," he said. "The way we look at it is if we make a kind of OK game and reinforce it with an expansion pack, that does not really satisfy [consumers]. So we’d like to invest all we have into the game and make it as good as it gets.”
Mr. Kobayashi added, "[Fans] are looking for a complete package. If you make additional scenarios and packs, Japanese consumers would come back and say ‘if this content is available, why didn’t you put it in the main game anyway?’”
I can get behind this.
it feels like too many times something will be DLC when it could have easily been in the game originally
By Vivalabanter Go To PostPointless discussion time. How high will go for Ramos? £40m?
Round about that. Get £30m for DDG and it don't look so bad, I guess.
