Luiz...
50 million... I just cannot get over that. |
Is anyone else currently watching the Brazil vs. Holland match? Brazil have an extremely poor defence, and are currently losing 2 - 0.

Score predictions, anyone? I'm thinking that Argentina will win 2 - 1.
|
Well the Final of the 2014 World Cup has ended with Germany winning 1 - 0. So that means that old phrase about no European country ever winning the World Cup in South America has become obsolete.
|
1 - 0 to Deutschland. After flattening the hosts, this makes so much sense.
|
Brilliant goal to end a brilliant tournament. Glad it didn't get decided by penalties.
Messi once again receives an accolade he didn't seem to deserve just because he's Messi. Now back to club mode again, woo transfer window. |
Higuain's missed opportunity will stay in Argentina's head for a very long time.

It's like there's a competition between all English clubs for the lowest budget, most embarrassing advert at the moment.

I expected Germany to win, but sad for Argentina. What an exciting WC, though! I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. |
Ours was actually not that bad this year. Theme of players and fans pulling in the same direction is fitting. Only bad think is there is a chance a majority of the players in the video might well end up being sold, one already has.

I've renewed last year's Pokecommunity Classic League.
Anyone else who wishes to join should use the league code 106395-32119. |
Will put together my side in a month or so. Now that we aren't in the Premier League my attention will probably slip even sooner though.
|
Only 3 people have joined so far. Last season we had 7-8 people.

Joined the fantasy premier league!
|
I think it automatically put me in so I'm in too.
This transfer window has been slow since Rodriguez. |
This time in 2 weeks the entire first round of Champs games will have been played. Considering we still have Ruddy, Olsson, Fer, Wolf, Hooper and Redmond I'm pretty excited. Surely we aren't going to do a Southampton and let most of them go now.
Also Blackpool still only have 8 players. RIP in peace . |
My girlfriend's dad is from Blackpool so obviously supports them and he has lost any hope of them staying up. The odd thing is in that trialist heavy lineup they fielded in a friendly, most of the trialists would be players good enough to keep them up in my opinion. No chance of any of them being signed though given the ridiculous contracts the owners try to hand out.
Also you're excited by Van Wolfswinkel still being there? I know it's only the Championship but still. |
We could have had David Villa in his prime last season and he would have struggled. More excited about Wolf still being here than I am Hooper and he somehow managed 6 last season. I am confident that with a set up that actually aims to create chances for the forwards he will flourish. Can actually only remember van Wolfseinkel missing 2 easy opportunities, I bet van Persie missed more than that.
I also think he'll benefit from having some variety up top with him. Last season we had; van Wolfswinkel - Poacher Gary Hooper - Poacher Luciano Becchio - Eternally benched poacher Johan Elmander - Overpaid lump that got games because he has a decent work rate We didn't use a set up which favoured poachers and none of those players are quick. Snodgrass who was the main link between the midfield was probably the slowest of the bunch. Of course we did have Redmond but I think he only crossed the ball once all season and all but one of his shots hit the stand. We have added; Lewis Grabban - Pacey all rounder Kyle Lafferty - Target man Those two will allow the poachers to play their natural game. Also it seems that Wes Hoolahan will be reborn under Adams, same with our other creative midfielder Andrew Surman. As it stands I am expecting good things. On the topic of poachers it looks like your lot have gotten yourselves a nice one from Spain. Hadn't noticed that. |
Yeah, I think I mentioned it earlier on in the thread. I mean I'm not certain, but it's not everyday we spend £3m on anyone so I imagine I did. It's a bit of a risk for a team that has cost cut for quite a few years, but hopefully it will pay off.
I forgot about Norwich picking up Grabban, quite the selection of strikers to choose from then. You should really going straight back up then, hopefully Fulham & Cardiff will screw up to leave room for other teams (like us). I have nothing against Fulham and they're a team that has been Premier League since I was a kid so it feels wrong for them to be here, but it would be hilarious for £11m on McCormack to backfire completely and they stay down. |
Was b& when you made the post about him it seems. Can't say I know anything about the guy but his goal record speaks for itself. Also if he can score in the second tier in Spain I'm sure he can here. Is there any substance to the rumours that Boro are going after Jelle Vossen? If that's true then I'd expect your lot will be unstoppable on FM15.
McCormack's fee was crazy, I know Fulham have a loaded owner and they've got parachute payments but still, £11m for a 27 year old with no experience higher than the Champs. For hat sort of fee I'm sure they could have signed Jordan Rhodes, whilst he isn't as versatile he's just as proven at this level and he's 3 years younger. Whilst I don't hate Fulham I'd certainly rather they were a league below my lot. We rarely play well against them and when we do we still lose. Have been cursed ever since that 6 - 0 game which saw us go down and WBA pull off their 'great escape'. Of the relegated teams it seems Cardiff have had the most eventful summer. It's like OGS and Tan are playing Football Manager. Guido Burgstaller, Juan Cala, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Adam Le Fondre, Javi Guerra and Federico Macheda. Probably a few decent players there but I'm pretty sure this is not how you build a successful team. I haven't seen much of Grabban but he seems to have hit form last season. 22 goals in 44 games is pretty fantastic. Of course he's only had 1 season like that at this level but in our current financial state the £3m fee is not going to kill us even if it goes tits up. I'm pretty happy with our squad as it stand but we could do with a bit of defensive over. I think Seb Bassong will be sold meaning we only have 3 first team central defenders and 1 right back (Adams likes captain Russell Martin at CB). Also think we could do with another left sided midfielder because Pilks is made out of glass and Josh Murphy is still untested at this level. A double swoop of Dundee United's John Souttar and Gary Mackay-Steven would cover 2 of those positions. |

Saw this on my twitter timeline and I burst out laughing:
Spoiler:
Wonder who's gonna have less players by the start of the season, Southampton or Blackpool...? |
