I know. Bastards hogging talent.
:lol: There are no words.


In other news, Caner Erkin signs for Inter. Glad I didn't sell him now. Ilicic stays at Fiorentina though, signs an extension, after a great season and didn't rise he was linked with loads of places, Leicester and The Dippers for two, but decided to stay at Fiorentina. :( Maybe It's time to get rid of him. :houllier:

No rise for Laporte but SM removes his ability to play LB. SM forums will be fun. Was obvious once he got injured he was unlikely to rise. Just what SM do - especially with defenders (poor Luke/Kurt).

@langster will be happy today :)
Not really mate. Only a + 1 for Oyarzabal and his value only increased £200k. Very strange compared to some others his age and rating. :( Plus no other rises for Spanish players I was expecting like Thimothée KOLODZIEJCZAK who deserved a + 1 after his performances on the way to winning the Europa Cup, Bakambu for his decent season and goals and assists, and I expected Kuki Zalazar to rise a little as well. :(

Your expectation is too high lol

Villarreal have not been reviewed yet. Kuki won't rise until he plays in Segunda at least

No way. + 2 would have been fair. He scored the winner against Barcelona and is currently playing in the Spanish first team and all the upcoming friendlies. The way the commentators were waxing lyrical about him the other night was a joy to hear, he's definitely highly rated over in Spain. Even Balague couldn't stop going on about him.

And thanks to @The Stain too, Llorente is also playing in the Spanish first team at the moment, and Balague was saying he reckons he will be in Real's first team next season and is one of their most highly rated youngsters, so thanks again for putting me on to him ;) He could be my defensive rock in a season or two. I owe you big time for him.

He only came on as sub against Bosnia, but that was a good start by itself. No doubt he has great future. SW tends to be conservative nowadays when it comes to rating increase

It's more the valuation I don't get. Take Iwobi for example, a full year older, 1 point less in rating (82 compared to 83) and he's worth £5m when Oyarzabal is only worth £3m. It makes no sense at all. :houllier:

Didn't deserve a rise tbh. Won't be long before his rating goes crazy once he joins a big club though.

Hereford got another 80 rated player with Fabian Ruiz getting a +3 to 80. Wasn't expecting that, thought it would be just a +1 to 78.

Sure thing, langster.

Over at Everton things are quiet. No rises yet and i can only hope none of my players have been reviewed yet. That'd possibly be asking for too much from these clowns i suppose. No, instead i get notifications of some of my players that have already risen, wut?

Juve seems to snap up Ikoné (Fulham) from PSG. Be funny if he turns out similar to Coman.

I've instructed Kompany to break Messi's legs. Ye, both.
Wouldn't surprise me if it worked. Messi has missed the second most games due to injury/suspension for me.

Manchester United # of games missed due to injury/suspension (league/cup/shield comps)
Gareth Bale (94) - 13
Lionel Messi (99) - 4
Sergio Ramos (95) - 4
Ricardo Rodriguez (91) - 4
Jerome Boateng (94) - 3
Paul Pogba (93) - 3
Mesut Özil (94) - 2
Alarcon Isco (92) - 1
Raheem Sterling (90) - 1
Sergi Roberto (89) - 1

United's last 2 results:
Newcastle United (A) - 3:2 loss
Chelsea (A) - 1:1 draw (knocked out on penalties)


Everton's last 2 results:
Tottenham Hotspur (A) - 2:1 win
Fulham (A) - 1:0 win

Feck me, ticket prices are a bit steep! I hope it's a good game. Got my seat right behind the Everton bench as the United tickets were all sold out. :(

In the commentary, yeah. Stats wise a draw would have been fair. Good game. Vidal out for 8 days though..

Just from the 2D match engine. That showed it as being way more in your favour.

For once one of my players didn't get injured. Woo!

Four days until Bale is back. Been a long three weeks.
