Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[KRS]

Definitely a deal that we should hijack if we have the funds available. I'd struggle to find a less Pulis like transfer target than Praet...but the young lad may decline the deal when he sees the shithole that is West Brom.

apparently, Albion have bid £11m for Praet

He would be Praet to go there , sorry

The last time I played Football Manager, it looked like this. However, I'm not sure whether the game I played on my ZX Spectrum was an early version of what you lot play now or a completely different game

Oh the nostalgia , I remember playing Football Director on the 64 which was basically teletext , loved it 

I had something on the Atari ST. Think it was called Football League. I don't think you could even pick your team,  just watched scores roll round.

Fucking class.

 I remember it taking so long to load the tapes up on Commodore My mate used to just leave his  running on over night to save time .  The power pack used to get that hot you could fry an egg on it. He used to get such a bollocking from his dad

Used to love this (International Blocker, lol).

The whole thing is utterly preposterous from Sky. Everyone knows you should use FIFA for judging how good a player is.

I do think it's really quite silly though. The bloke actually cried "But look at the versatility, the stamina, the anticipation!" when explaining that Thomas Muller is better than Diego Costa - it sounded absurd.

I agree about the database of Football Manager though - I play the game myself.t

On the Muller > Costa thing, I agree with them.  I've said a few times if he was played centrally he'd be the best striker in the world, he's a fantastic player who is massively underrated in my opinion.

Where the fuck they got £11m from? sure it's not $11m?

[citizenDJ]

Yeah, maybe, I don't know, but I wouldn't be making that judgement based on his stats from a video game.

Anyway fuck them, why ain't we signed anyone yet? been ages

And these days I pay god knows how much for a license so that my kids can play Minecraft with worse graphics than that on a computer that can render graphics in a way you couldn't imagine 5 years ago.

And adjusting those bloody tape heads when the game wouldn't load.  What a bloody nightmare.
