He's way overrated.
16m tho for someone who is still only 24 and has a proven goal scoring record in the premier league...I will take that, 16m is nothing these days. Even if he is a flop, Liverpool will still get back most of the money if they choose to sell him on.
Man United paid 30m for Luke Shaw...and are reportedly going to pay 75m for Di Maria...this is insane money for those players, Di Maria is worth no more than £50m in today's market...Luke Shaw should not be valued anywhere over 20m.
Adonis Chelsea look early favourites for the league, they strengthened every position that needed strengthening....gonna take a lot for anyone to finish above them.

What do you mean?
The concept of loans never interested me enough to get into it. We don't have those here.
James Rodriguez was the same price as Di Maria. I know we agreed he was the best player at the WC Certain but he's not as good as Di Maria. So my question, Witty, would be why are people saying United overspent? Overspent for arguably Madrid's best player last year, a man who shone for Argentina, and also put in a Man of the Match performance in last years CL final? Maybe not.
Certain
08-25-2014, 02:37 PM

I mean Suarez was paid what? 900 bazillion while suspended for a few months
Suarez is a beast though, well worth every penny...Barcelona are gonna be frightening this season.
Certain yeah the loan system is weird, we bought him outright tho..the 16m is what both teams decided was a fair price for Liverpool to buy him out from the remainder of his contract at AC Milan. The longer left on the contract, the more you will have to pay. Loans are normally for when you just don't have room in your team for a player but still see him as someone who could make an impact in the future, so you send him to play for another team to keep him fit and sharp...most clubs still pay the players wages even if he is on loan at another club.

I definitely rate him as a player, but I don't think he is as good as the likes of Suarez, Ronaldo, etc. Gerrard put in a MoTM peformance in a CL final, and in the same season was the best midfielder in England and possibly the world imo but I would never have said he was worth that kind of money either because I think that should be reserved for the best of the best, I wouldn't put him (in his prime) or Di Maria in that bracket, tho very close. I also think Rodriguez was over priced btw, and I agree Di Maria justifies it more but I think United are being overpriced with every player they have bought simply because teams know they need the players. I still think 50m is a fair price for Di Maria, he is world class but 75m is too much imo.
Witty
08-25-2014, 02:47 PM
Liverpool vs Man City coming up in 15 minutes.
Not overly confident tbh but who knows.
Yeah, United are being bullied because they are desperate at the moment. I agree. I get what you're saying about Gerrard but in 2005 30 million pound was an enormous fee and that's what he was valued at. The player valuations the last 18 months has just been outrageous. I'm really excited to see Di Maria at United, though. Balotelli is going to be fun to watch too.

He'll definitely give United that outlet on the wide which they have desperately needed, they'll be more of a force going forward for sure...it's a good buy, a big name will give the fans confidence too and perhaps ease the pressure on Van Gaal who I rate as a top manager. Balotelli will go two ways...he will finally fulfill his potential to be one of the top strikers in the world, he's 24 and now is when he really should be starting to fire them in regularly...orrr he could self destruct and be sold for 10m next summer...either way it'll be interesting lol
If he does fulfill his potential tho, we will have a top quality front 3.

lmao Villa play with 11 defenders at home, two regimented blocks of 5, absolutely no intention of even attempting an attack infront of their 12th man
their priority isnt to try and win games, its to try and not come out of a game empty handed
theyre playing to avoid relegation and the seasons only two games old

I meant the United team but I was actually mistaken, it was 661 combined first team appearances between them, it was not an inexperienced team, there were young players but there were also experienced players on the pitch.
Ye, but the experienced players on the pitch have been in doubt lately because of new blood and performance (looking at you Welbeck) and haven't led up to expectations. Evans just came back from an injury though, but him and the players on the pitch were still underperforming. There's also been links to other clubs with Welbeck and I bet quite a few players will be sold unless they step their game up. I mean, you really think LvG would leave out people like Mata, Rooney, Persie and Shaw in a match he'd go for? They weren't even on the bench, heck even Anders Lindegaard wasn't on the bench, it was Ben Amos as a sub for De Gea. The only player on the pitch that we can say for sure isn't in doubt for the time being that was playing is David De Gea and he's the goalie...
I still got mad love and think we'll see a lot from Kagawa and Januzaj in the future though. But ye, I think LvG was testing these people out.

All of the top teams do this, they do not all lose 4-0 against Mk Dons.
You got to look at the history here as well. First Fergie retired, then a lot of shit happened with Moyes, new players in and several key players out (Vidic which used to be a captain for example) Moyes also tried to incorporate his own style which is perfectly reasonable to do, but stuff like that cause ripples. Then LvG comes in and does further adjustments + bringing forth his own gameplan and new formations which needs time to be incorporated completely into the team. If SAF was still around you wouldn't have seen these issues at the same level, I doubt you'd see these problems at all. That on top of new players and uncertainty + a team that isn't even top level will cause certain issues a team who have had their manager for several years wouldn't have.
But I definitely agree, the players still under performed and should have done a better job on the pitch. It probably wasn't fun to see LvG after that game.

fucker closed the objective/soulstice battle while I was voting.
Objective Soulstice
Soulstice. I feel like I like this. I'm tempted to believe that the story is of a couple leaving from somewhere, since the woman seems to be directing the conversation, I'll say they just spent a holiday with her family. She wasn't particularly happy at the impression he made. He wasn't particular happy in their relationship. She seems to have settled into a contentment where she can glide over issues, while he seems to be slipping more and more into a depression about things getting worse. I'm always a little up in the air about pieces like this, because I don't like to read any other replies before I vote, and I'm always nervous I'll be completely wrong haha. The writing was dope though. I didn't like "invertebrate eunuch" at first. I literally re-read the line saying, "as recursive confusion turns you into a fucking pussy." just cause I thought the wording was better. But No-backbone, no-balls. Invertebrate Eunuch is pretty on point. I also really liked the last bar. So kudos on that. If this story is how I imagine it, great piece. If I'm completely off base, I hate you and I hope you lose. Also, are you from PR? I feel like your name is really familiar. Edit: See, I read other people taking the bullets line literally, and now I dont know what to believe anymore.
Objective. I will say that objectively youve had the best flow I've read thus far. And as an audio head, that shit is appealing to me. That being said, the story lacked a little development. There wasn't much depth beyond him being kept awake due to "dark forces." This leaves a lot to be desired when trying to make a connection with your character. I don't know why he's upset, and I don't know what changed that finally allowed him to sleep. Other than letting his depression "swallow him whole." It seems like the only way he can be okay with him actions is to accept this seemingly inevitable role as a bad guy, but his morals are fighting hard against that. In the end he succumbs to his evil, but we're still not really sure what that is. I think the idea is a cool one, but the execution maybe fumbled a little bit. And although sleep is the metaphoric "home" you speak of, allowing himself to slip into his insanity would seem to be foreign to him, which leaves the "finally home" bar to seem a bit contradictory. Well written, just lacked a little development.

It was basically the same verse I sent to Certain so I wouldn't no-show and in case I'd get some time to polish it and re-write some lines. I didn't get time to polish it but you gave me some insight on how I could improve it even further with the thoughts I had in mind on how I would originally improve it if I had the time to do so.
