I've got FIFA now. Only played online games so far, yet to start a manager mode or be-a-pro

 

 

sweet.....we'll definitely have to play each other sometime then

just finished my first manager season with juventus. ended up winning serie A by 3 points (inter came in second). had a record of 34 wins, 8 draws, and 1 losses. also beat inter in the coppa nazionale final to top off the season. dzeko, krasic, and cassano were beasts

unfortunately after the season ended i lost simone pepe, quagliarella, aquilani, lanzafame, marco motta, and traore because they were all just loaned in...........i tried buying them back but their teams refused to sell them. now i'll have to go out and get some reinforcements with all the money i earned....maybe someone like samir nasri. by winning serie A and winning coppa nazionale i qualified for like every tournament for the upcoming season.

alot of clubs will be making moves to improve their teams for the second half of the season. the january transfer window should be intersting. juventus are rumored to be trying to lure benzema on loan and then buy dzeko in the offseason. while inter are expecting to reacquire ranocchia from loan. cassano has signed with milan which will make their team even a bigger challenge to overtake

Man City may be offering £30m for Dzeko. And expect Balotelli to return to Italy by the end of next summer as he has not settled in, in England.

i'd be pissed if he went to man city, plus i think they're gonna want somewhere in the 40-50 million region for him. there is a rumor that wolfsburg and juventus have already agreed on a fee for dzeko but they're waiting til the summer to complete such a transaction. juventus might need to dump some players like sissoko and amauri to get the money for dzeko.

i like super mario but a reason for some of his struggles might be the knee surgery he had at the beginning of the season. i just can't stand manchester city so i'm enjoying them not doing well even though they have an immense number of funds at their disposal. they kind of represent the new york yankees of the soccer world.

They are joint top of the league.....

 

Mancini has been saying that Balotelli has been homesick, which I guess is understandable as it is easy to forget he is only 20 and this is a major move to leave his home country. However I do not like him, he is far too arrogant - last week he said he was the 2nd best player in the world behind Messi, which is absolutely ridiculous.

oh sh*t, guess i wasn't paying attention to the EPL lately because last i checked man united and arsenal were atop of the table. and i'm pretty disappointed in reading that a deal for dzeko is almost complete where he'd be going to man city for around 35 million. money can really buy you alot of things

I'm not sure how they are going to play Dzeko. Most of the time Man City play with just Tevez up front, although recently they have altered things and included Balotelli.

they could play a 4-3-1-2 formation. where tevez plays more of a central forward position with balotelli and dzeko as strikers......but i still hope the deal for dzeko crumbles and he ends up going somewhere else like juventus.

Juventus To Hijack Manchester City Move For Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko - Report

 

Juventus respond to Manchester City's move for Edin Dzeko as they unveil their summer plan...

 

By Salvatore Landolina

 

Dec 30, 2010 10:42:00 AM

 

Juventus are calling on Wolfsburg to forget about selling striker Edin Dzeko to Manchester City, in the hope they can offer a smarter deal.

 

City have reportedly offered a deal totalling €35 million to gain German attention, but Tuttosport claims Juventus are ready to counter that with their own transfer scheme.

 

The Bianconeri have long been admirers of the 24-year-old Bosnian, and while they cannot sign him for January - having no space for non-EU players - Mohamed Sissoko will be offered in January as a deposit for June.

 

Wolfsburg are keen on the 25-year-old Mali midfielder and wanted him as part of the Diego move six months ago, but the Italians wouldn't budge.

 

Sissoko is no longer part of plans in Turin, making director Giuseppe Marotta able to push him towards the Bundesliga to then offer cash for Dzeko in the summer.

 

Juventus have made it clear they won't make any grandiose investments in January, but have left the door open for a Dzeko move in the future.

 

Reports in England though have claimed City are in advanced talks with the German club, and Roberto Mancini is pushing their buying power to guarantee Dzeko immediately, which could leave Juventus out of touch.

 

i just hope they can hold off man city until june

I know Juventus is a far more historic and prestigious club than Man City, and Dzeko would at least be guaranteed to start for them, but I think the lure of playing in an ultimately better league in the EPL coupled with the potential of Man City could draw him to England.

guess we'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks but i wouldn't be surprised if dzeko ended up at man city......it would just be unfortunate that he would take a rich owner over a rich history, but i wouldn't blame him.

reports are that dzeko is on a plane on his way to london to meet up with his new teammates.........f***

 

 

Talking of City, in the big games they are so damn boring! Last night they had a 0-0 draw away to Arsenal but City did basically no attacking at all. Same as their match against Man Utd earlier this season.

yeah i watched that game. there were some nice plays (specifically one by toure) but overall no excitement.

 

 

also just read an article online that says that dzeko and juventus had agreed to terms on a deal where he'd sign in june but apparently he didn't want to wait til then so he's probably going to go to man city. the italian federation has a rule where teams can only sign one non-EU player per season and juventus has already used it on milos krasic.

liverpool and chelsea have agreed on a 50 million dollar fee for fernando torres. this is a big loss for liverpool but they have moved quickly to cushion the damage by buying luis suarez and andy caroll.

£50m not $50m so it is really $80m. Don't think either the Torres to Chelsea or Carroll to Liverpool deals are fully complete yet but seems like they will be soon. Suarez cost Liverpool £23m.

 

I LOVE DEADLINE DAY!
