Solskjaer to Villa then?

I don't like that we are, in effect, ruining that team. :/ But I want Solksjaer.
lol Wolves
Am I missing something here?
I assume that's a view from one of the seats, and you can only see half of the pitch from it.

But you're not. Those are Ole's own recruits and would more than likely leave anyway if Ole left. Espeially the coaches.I don't like that we are, in effect, ruining that team. :/ But I want Solksjaer.

That's a seat. Obstructed view.
lol Wolves
"See half the pitch, pay half the price! Buy tickets now!"
They would have, it was basically a done deal. Van Gaal said "nope".
I remember the Hoeneß interview where he confirmed it. According to him van Gaal said "we don't need him, Alaba will play." Knowing how van Gaal ignored players he disliked (for hiw own obscure reasons), it made no sense to get Khedira.
thought Van Gaal always knew Alaba would be a left back.
you know how he was. He "knew" many things
thought Van Gaal always knew Alaba would be a left back.
He even played Kraft as main gk just to block Neuer. That guy did anything to block signings.

Solskjær said that "The situation is that I haven't gotten any offer from Villa to consider". So sounds like the owner just called him into a meeting to get his word on if he was staying or not, should the offer come. The owner is really rich but apparently a bit of a nutter, he also owned Wimbledon before and was one of the people who decided to make it Milton Keynes.

Yay, rumours to look forwards to! Delaney also said that Hazard was at OT on Wednesday, which was a rumour quite a few people were running with on Twitter.
Weren't there figures a few days ago that United are losing a quarter of a million a day with interest on loans etc from the Glazers? If that's true where will they get the money from for this "busy summer"? More loans?
José Mourinho

He will be missed, but what a way to go out. I hope we give him a great send off.
Freudian slip?
Allegedly (according to the most reliable "insiders" who leak to Villa fan sites) this is now a done deal and OGS is coming to Villa. We shall see, I dont want to get too excited. These are the same "insiders" who got McLeish wrong last year but got every transfer right.
United have about £60m-70m worth of cash reserves in the bank. No team in world football makes more money than United. I'd say we're fine for transfers up to a certain point. I don't think loans are necessary.
United won't spend more than £30m on transfers though.
José Mourinho

I want him to come to my house and bone me.

Yep, £70m through Q3 in interest and bond buy backs. (About £30m was bond buy backs).
There won't be a busy summer in terms of a big net spend. I mean it is possible but it's unlikely. There still money there though, the cash in the bank is probably somewhere in between £50-70m and the club still makes a profit every year despite the debt.
Personally I think the budget is going to be between £20m-£30m at most...obv you take away the debt and it's perfectly possible the budget is up to 5x that...but alas.
Because of the debt people don't realise just how rich the club is. It really is an incredible financial machine. Sadly it's wasted.
They won't give Hazard £200k. Not a chance. We could, wage/turnover is below 50% so it's perfectly affordable on the one player...but Hazard isn't that player and generally wage bumps are a slippery slope.
Timezones aren't great. Not expecting any megatons, maybe MGS5/Project Ogre. Excited for WiiU but don't see myself buying one in the first year or two.
yes. I want to see a mario game like galaxy for wiiu
where did you read this?

I'm thoroughly un-excited for WiiU. Losing my faith in Nintendo. Win me back plz!
It'll be a good distraction from all this transfer crap. Really looking forward to what Sony has to show especially The Last Of Us.
Yes.
Shiggy walks onstage. "Super Mario Galaxy 3". Walks off.
I still haven't finished SMG1 yet.
No Mirrors Edge 2 no sale. Games are so hard for me to get into. I only like playing against other XBL users. Which is why I almost exclusively play COD and FIFA. Not like I'm against single player games but I want bang for my buck 65$ for a game that I can't really play with anyone or 65$ I can play against human beings for a full year until the next version comes out. Meh I'm a terrible gamer.
I remember really enjoying E3 in 2010 for Nintendo conference, Hopefully with knowing so little on the software front this year could be good. They were also responsible for the worst: 2008.
Sony is always boring no matter what games they show. Usually its about 2 hours long and they have terrible presentation skills which is sad considering the things they usually show.

yes. really curious to see actual wii u games and the last of us live demo. maybe the last guardian too.
i can dream
wonder if we'll see community and o/t shutdown again
E3 will most likely be pony like it always is these days.
I'm just looking forward to Metal Gear Rising and Metal Gear Solid 5, then I'm bailing out. You can take your laughable justifications of the 'Vita's inevitable success' and the Wii U being 'what people want', and shove it.

So, pretty much 5m + a shit player on high wages for Höwedes? Try harder.
so non-news then. told you so
I specifically didn't mention Microsoft because of that. It also doesn't help with the focus on CoD and Halo/Gears, None of which I am particularly interested in. XBLA is fantastic though and I'd nearly buy an Xbox for that.
bring new consoles already, ffs! I want to change, I don't want to pay for online anymore fuck that shit.
Heh, if they end up selling then they're plain stupid.
I would guess, if Howedes joins, then van Buyten would mostly be a reserve player.
Boateng-Badstuber
Howedes-Dante
Howedes also being an option for RB backup. Not bad.

Same.
I'll probably still buy it because it looks great for family but damn...
- Stupid name
- Uncertainty whether its even an upgrade over PS3/360
- Casual orientated Nintendo
Console gaming is falling apart. I do most of my gaming on PC these days unless its FIFA.
I've already given up on Nintendo progressing with that HD Zelda demo..Nintendo are too tight to have a Zelda game released on or at least close to launch date..
yeah, on top of that i cant believe that such an offer would satisfy Schalke.
why do you care about the name? you are going to play the games and not the name.
if casual oriented nintendo means galaxy, smash bros brawl, zelda ss or donkey kong country, then please, don't change nintendo.
