cream get the money
dolla dolla bills y'all

this is actually one reason i stopped being passionate about club football. as a kid i'd always associate teams and identify them with their players who built themselves at a team and stayed and nurtured rivalries, so on and so forth. people moving around and clubs changing their entire squads over 2-3 years, that shit sucks to high hell for me. i was a huge galacticos fan around 98'-01' and in 3 or 4 years it was a completely different team that played fairly different football. could not relate to them anymore.

i understand my qualms are petty and transferring and flow of players is natural and correlated to the capital flowing in and out of the club, but it also forced me to just stop taking club football seriously. (added to the fact that i don't/never had much of a 'local' team so there was never that kind of loyalty anyway).

money creates everything, money also ruins everything. what can you do

Well, how can you blame him when his trophy cabinet looks like this:

Arsenal
FA Cup (1): 2004–05
FA Community Shield (1): 2004

If he weren't injured in 07/08, one of the best sides imo to not win the league, and basically every other year minus last year then we wouldn't be having this problem.

That's a pretty long statement that seems to come from a pretty personal place...not the mere "I'd like to stay, hopefully it will work out" boilerplate response everyone gives to the transfer question. Sucks.

Well united looked a little silly the last half of the game. I mean, if you're going to give up on attacking the middle at least make sure your crosses are quality.

Fellaini was outstanding today and a big hats off to Tony hibbert. He was incredible with his tackling. And RVP= no impact today...just another red shirt up front.

He's a very underrated player in my opinion, at least outside of England.

Can actually be anything other than making him a full-time defender to replace puyol? Maybe they're going to start playing some 352 variation. Hard to say, they already have the best defensive mid in the world and are weighing down the pine with how much money in the midfield?

He's actually pretty darn solid. He belongs in the premiership. He won't go overlooked for long.

Yeah, what did you mean by him not delivering much? I thought that he was usually played as a box to box midfielder.

The basketball fan in me loves some fellaini. Not just holding the ball up well in traffic and muscling off defenders, but he does well creating and finishing out of those spots. Also Gotta give props to the Everton crowd for that man u game.

I'm beginning to regret not selecting Lukaku for my Fantasy League Squad.

Yes yes yes. His passing is quick and effective.
