Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[fbriai]

The one I used to play to death was the International Soccer cartridge (whoo! cartridge not tape!) on the Commodore 64

That was pretty much the no-frills version of the superb Emilyn Hughes' International Soccer. You could edit team and player names, even the colours. You had league, cup and even a full season to chose from. Loved it and I still remember the leagues that me and my mates used to take part in, saving the game on to a blank tape and taking it to one of the other lads houses to play the away fixtures etc. Great times.

I had the Emlyn Hughes version on the 48K, and agree, it was absolutely superb. The edit and league features kept me occupied for hours. I'd have a full season and relegate the club at the bottom, replacing them with a team promoted from a randomly-generated second division.

Not as good as subbuteo

Sorry. I haven't liked the" Villa Fans On LSD" page....yet.

Gueye Bykers on Acid

Shouldn't that be 'lick' and not 'like'?

[john e]

I wonder if FIFA 15 will look as outdated as that does in 25 years time

and if it does what the hell will kids in 2040 be playing

[peter w]

What's this about gay Baker on Sid? Is this the new Sherwood regime attempt to foster a closer team mentality?

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm getting sooooooooo bored now, wish we'd sign someone

To be fair, Subbuteo is also a think of beauty.

It's a surprise I actually had time to do anything else as a kid, what with Subbuteo, Emlyn Hughes International Soccer, Match Day 1 and 2, Football Manager, Kick Off 1 & 2, Player Manager and Championship Manager.

Where did all of that spare time go?

Match Day 2 on the spectrum was fantastic but as soon as I got Sensible Soccer there really was no turning back. And I still play it on my SNES now!

[fbriai]

Sensible Soccer! How could I forget that from the list! World of Sensible Soccer with its leagues was superb!

[Clark W Griswold]

Indeed, Player manager by Anco and Sensible world of soccer by, er, Sensible. The 2 best football games of all time.

The Fifa games are bloody awful to be fair, as are any of the modern manager games. Fifa in my opinion is only popular because there is not really anything else, and the manager games don't really have proper strategy unlike most of Sid Meir offerings over the past 15 years or so.

I was about to post the same thing. Following the last few weeks I am having difficulty adjusting to all this inactivity. Is that us done now?

    I thought we were swapping Emmanuel for Phillippe when I first read this.   I was going to say that I would be happy enough with that, not sure Spurs would be though.

I hope not.  Our defence is still pretty poor.
