I figured the Villa game would be on Tv with the Lambert factor. Shame its an early kick off as with the time difference no bar will be open.

Wow thats a lot for a guy who has only played a handful of times.

That is ridiculous

Jesus, I see your point. Still think it would be a left field move. He could still earn a massive wage and play in one of the best leagues in the world just probably nothing as outrageous as that

How much more would they pay than Man City? Not a great deal more I think.

Also aren't Anzhi banned from playing European games at home as UEFA deem the area unsafe? Hardly a selling point

Staying at my parents and found my Wire dvds and am on the 3rd episode of the 1st series, I love this show and haven't seen it in over a year. Bunk is awesome.

The Eliza Doolittle album is growing on me.

RVP will be a huge loss to Arsenal, I think they have to cash in on him now rather than let him leave for nothing. At least they have already brought in two strikers.

Abreu wasn't interested but managed to bag Balotelli on loan for the season paying only 30% of his wages! My four loaned players are Anderson, Jonny Evans, Giovani dos Santos and Super Mario. Anderson and Super Mario are the only two who will regularly start. Evans is back up for Hummels/Subotic and dos Santos is in because he is versatile.

Have started another new game hopefully this one will be long term. Started as Dortmund and am trying to bring in Ballack and Kalou on frees. Trying to get another striker as back up to Lewandowski but my budget is 5-6Mill any ideas?

I'm managing Botafogo in Brazil at the moment, and I have a striker called Sebastian Abreu who might be worth a look. He's been a very consistent goalscorer for me. At 35 he won't exactly be leading the line for years to come, but as a short term back up, valued at just 450k, he's worth a gamble. His physical stats are impressive considering his age, and his mental and technical stats are great. If you go for him, let me know how he gets on!

I love Abreu, scored that outrageous penalty for Uruguay in the World Cup quarter final, I'll whack a bid in for him.

I've decided to try and get Guidetti on loan from Man City, Counago too big a player to join.

I read he was made Captain last season and was called into England U'21s before his injury. He fits the mould of player we were signing under Lambert so hopefully he can make the step up. Holt signed a new deal which im happy about.

Jones should go considering he did nothing at the Euros. The Ox would of been a great addition aswell. Our squad could be a hell of a lot better which is quite frustating

Jacob Butterfield has joined Norwich, hasn't played in 2012 yet though through injury. Compensation still to be agreed between the two clubs apparently.

Anyone know if the lads decent?

Jordi Alba is the Spain Olympic squad. Obscene. I bet he's running there from Kiev too.

Quality player. Who else is in the Spain squad?

A 2 year deal, Steve Kean must be desperate

Yeah I have been watching Argentine football to get me through!

Excited for the new season

I remember signing Nuno Gomes on Championship Manager 99/00, be funny to see him at Blackburn. Probably still better than Leon Best

The Pigeon Detectives - Emergency I really like this album

I think we can get to the semis, not a great squad but it never was going to be when they said the boys who played in Euro's wouldn't get picked

Olympic squad announced

J Allen (Swansea), C Bellamy (Liverpool), R Bertrand (Chelsea), J Butland (Birmingham), S Caulker (Tottenham), T Cleverley (Manchester United), J Cork (Southampton), C Dawson (West Brom), R Giggs (Manchester United), A Ramsey (Arsenal), M Richards (Manchester City), D Rose (Tottenham), S Sinclair (Swansea), M Sordell (Bolton), J Steele (Middlesbrough), D Sturridge (Chelsea), N Taylor (Swansea), J Tomkins (West Ham)

Had Spain in 90 mins at 11/10 but had a bigger bet on under 2.5 goals at 4/9 so still lost. Great game though

Del Piero is one of the great and that letter sums it up, what a man.
