Some people think FM is real life.
Have you seen Inception? The Caf FM players carry a Totem to determine if there in the real world.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

FM is generally a good source for football regulations.
What ever you think about their player ratings, football regs aren't bad.
Though they have got the PL rules wrong. In the game the player has to be under 21 on August 31st of the seasons. In real life they have to be Under 21 on Jan 1st of the year the season starts in.
Get the new patch probably? And wait for the 2010/2011 season?
It's a fecking video game.
Why is it being brought up so often?
Must be the best video game in the history of video games?
Yup but it's my only source of knowledge for the minutiae of football regulations!
What I mean to say is that I've gleaned that kind of boring detail from playing FM (without actively wanting to seek it out) and like I say they are usually spot on with that kind of thing.
looks much more likely that he'll run his contract down. I have to agree with lalliani in regards to running down your contract and leaving for free, effectively shafting the team that has nutured you, raised you and given you the stage and resources to earn stardom.
Be silly if he moves to madrid, with Kaka, Canales, R0naldo all able to be central and their reported interested in Henrique Ganso.

This is true.
Its also silly becasue he may suffer a real lack of form or a serious injury.
He is f*cked if he breaks his leg.
For Bremen if Ozil can help them get into the group stages then the income from that is worth more than the transfer fee.
It makes no sense for Bremen to sell Ozil after Wednesday - they might as well keep him for the year and let him help them as much as he can.

I'm not certain they can beat Sampdoria myself, in which case their hand might be forced?
If Werder lose their qualifier they might as well cash in. Plus Özil would have even more reason to leave, as leaving would get him more CL football.
Not if he played and they lost. He'd be Cup tied and out of Champions League football for another year.
If they play without him and lose then perhaps, but if they play without him and win, ironically that would probably see him leave.

If they lose the qualifier, even if he plays in either leg - he'll still be eligible to play for another team in the CL.
Edit:
Something that is bugging me is that this guy is supposed to be one of the brightest talents out there. At 21 been very good in the Bundnesliga and had a good world cup against some top teams.
Unless a team is sure they'll get him on the free next season (and really there should be maybe 1 or 2) - why haven't any of the other teams put in for him? Do clubs know something most of us don't that they've not even put in an offer for him - that is the only thing that makes sense to me.
If you are City, Spurs, Arsenal, Us, Bayern, Inter or any of these other clubs why not at least put in an offer? I didn't list Barca or Madrid because I think these are two clubs that would be pretty confident to get him next year if he is on a free.
Also - am not completely sure on the Bosman ruling except that a player is allowed to leave at the end of his contract on the free. Is there a provision in the rule that says the months leading up to the player ending his contract that he can talk to other clubs? I can't find anything on that. Just wondering why people say he is free to do a pre-contract in January.
Good
How so? If they don't make it to the CL, they'll still need to secure themselves a Bundesliga spot to play in next year's CL. They are desperate to sell, but obviously they won't accept very low offers. Özil is far too important for them to offload him for almost next to nothin.
I presume he's talking about the income they lose out on from not competing in this season's CL.
That would make losing out on a potential transfer fee for Ozil even harder to take.
Players can talk to other clubs if there's less than 6 months left to run on their contract.
I think a few clubs seemed quite content to wait for him to be a free transfer. Now they're all just circling nervously to see if somebody actually moves. Barca not getting Fabregas and Madrid losing Kaka for months may force the issue.
Ah, okay, thanks. I didn't see where he was coming from.
Next season or this season? Can someone clarify with a source?
The link I gave has the source.
Yes, but the source doesn't mention the year when it will be implemented.
That's why I asked does anyone have a different source which says which year it will be implemented? Is it this coming season or next season?

Only foreign clubs can talk six months before, I think, domestic ones are about one month. Though I'm sure you're aware of that, and it doesn't really matter in this case given that all the interested clubs are foreign ones anyway!
So cocks in or out?
Just wank anyway. Do it on the girl who slept with 5000 guys.
Oh sorry - the announcement was made March 24th 2010 and in it states:
"From next season, if a player's club is eliminated and he signs for a new club by the end of the summer transfer window on September 1 he can play for his new club in either competition."
So that would make it for this coming campaign.
My wife has a name, you know.
It might be that although he was good last year in league play, he didn't exactly light up the world. He has a very good WC, yes, but teams won't buy him to be a tournament player. I think a few may be waiting out to see how he progresses during league play.
And he won't leave on a free, there'll be a bidding war for him.
So no new news then
God, that means this will run on until the end of the month
He's 21 and did a very good job, making everyone forget Diego. Of course his season wasn't evenly on a high level, he played in the first half of the campaign much better than in the second half. But bottom line is he played still great in the league, in Europe and in the WC and it wasn't his first good season.
To put it in perspective: Anderson is 22 and hasn't played yet anywhere near as consistent and great as Özil. Not wanting to slag Anderson off, just trying to put Özil's achievements in a grander scheme.
....
Or he's just fed up.

Precisely.
Are you lot still fannying on about a player who is never going to play for United?
Yes, what are you doing in here?
Poke forgot about the international date line (and the whole extra day she had)
