Liverpool are pleased to welcome two new youngsters to Merseyside:
François Affolter
21 yo 86 rated CB
currently with Young Boys, on loan at Werder Bremen
and
Markus Henriksen
20 yo 85 rated CM/DM
currently with AZ
These two youngsters will provide an immediate aid to the cup side, filling spots previously filled by players with 5 ratings lower, and they're both bright prospects for the future.We look forward to indoctrinating them into the Liverpool way.
Henriksen is a City reject. During his time at the club I had ample opportunity to run the rule over him, watch him play and follow closely his progress. The conclusion being that he's never going to amount to anything.
I disagree, in his short time at Crystal Palace I saw a mass of potential.
Henriksen is shit.
He showed much potential a couple of years ago but hasn't progressed at all. His move to AZ in August pretty much summed him up, that's about his level. A better player would have found a better club to work with.
Nice one, Nem is up 3 to 86. Nice boost for my reserves there. Everton have had a great update, nice one TR.
82 rated Majeed Waris are leaving Watford in a straight swap for 88 rated Rodrigo Lima.
City's youth scouting is about as good as their tactical nous. At age 20, Henriksen's got 11 caps for his country. The Eredivisie is a solid move up for a young Norwegian, and he'll get far more playing time there than he would at an English side.
Oh yeah, he's amazing, quality player. The Norwegians just love him...
Face it, Excal, you've bought a dud. Henriksen's a whizzed who's all whizzed out, I'm afraid.
City's scouting is the best in the game btw, and since we're the most in form team in the league who beat you the other week to boot I'd lay off the accusations of tactical weakness too if I were you.
He manages Watford. How're they doing?
City's "scouting" department is the fourteenth son of a Shiek who just cuts cheques when asked. You buy everyone you can, then ship them out if they don't immediately go to top sides. Like your tactical knowledge, it's essentially firing enough shotgun shells and hoping you hit your target. It's reasonably effective for people like you who are too shit to play this game on any setting but "easy", even if you can't manage to hang onto a huge lead in the table, but trumpeting it as some skill on your part is frankly a bit pathetic.
You should probably kill yourself.

I've never known anyone get so jealous and bitter over a game!That's what I'm saying, cider. You should really stop. It's not good for your blood pressure!
I got Konoplyanka though.
I got Konoplyanka though.
Yeah I had my eye on him.
I got Zozulya, Takahashi, Wilshere, Jody Lukoki and Jonathan Dos Santos recently though, so it's turning into another great season transfer-wise.
Dos Santos
He can't even get games for Mexico, let alone Barca.

Dos Santos

You're showing your weakness of football knowledge, Excal. Dos Santos is a wonderful player. Not being good enough to get into the Barcelona XI at the age of 22 is no great sleight; he's only been left out of the Mexico side because he's not had much football, coupled with the fact that he opted out of the Olympics. Despite that though he's just recently signed a new contract at Barcelona with a £30m buy-out clause, there's no doubting his quality, he's a brilliant midfielder.
Not getting games=His rating won't be going up any time soon.
So he'll just sit there in your squad, eating up salary, while Barca keeps rolling out Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Thiago, Song etc, and then some new wunderkind will come out of Barca's academy and Dos Santos will go somewhere like Betis and maybe his rating will at long last go up to 87.
You're a sad, sad excuse for a Soccer Manager, and you have my pity.

Cheers mate.
Haven't forgot your pm by the way. Laptop is broke so just on my phone but when I get it back shall be onto it!
Cider...why the feck would I swap an 89 rated player for a 90 rated player?
Perhaps because in-game ratings are subject to change, plus ages and playing positions will often be relevant. I'm tired of dealing with fecking wazzacks who only see players as a number; I happily straight swapped Wilshere (89) for De Jong (92) a couple of weeks ago, I thought it a fair deal considering all factors. If you don't like the deal I've offered to you then you're welcome to decline it, but don't come at me as if I'm an idiot for even suggesting it based only on the fact that one player has a single rating point advantage over the other; don't be such a philistine. You might have been a little more professional and put the above post in a in-game PM, but since you decided to make it public I'm now left with little choice but to call you a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime for all to see right here.
What players were involved?
I offered Dzagoev for Willian. Hardly a preposterous proposition.
Nope.
I mean christ. It's 1 rating. Shiver my timbers. It's not like you offered Hart for Messi.
Yeah I thought it'd be great tempting offer. Both players are doing very well in the same positions but Dzagoev is two years younger, at a better club (CSKA to Willian's Shakhtar) and rated £22m on transfermarkt to Willian's £17.5m. Dzagoev was brilliant at the Euros and has started this season well with three goals and two assists in eight games in the Russian Premier League. They're two very comparable players; which you'd choose given the option would come down to personal opinion of potential rather than any hard facts and figures, I thought I'd give MJJ that call because I'm good like that.
This is even better than your rant when I bid for busquets.Willian is more likely to get a big move at the end of the season than dzagoev. He is playing at a higher level and in a higher competition. So, yes the offer was idiotic, and comparing it to wilshere vs de jong is equally idiotic. You say that game rating is subject to change, depending upon age(24 vs 22), playing position(wing/am vs erm wing/am). So why would I swap a superior player for an inferior player who play in the same position and are of the same age?
And are you seriously talking about professionalism after laughing at everyone here on every single opportunity? The fact that you think de jong and wilshere is even comparable to this situation shows me who is the Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime here.
I'm not sure you even know who Dzagoev is, you Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime. Eight goals in twenty-five games for Russia aged just twenty-one the Euros, thirty-eight goals and forty-four assists in one-hundred and fifty-eight games for CSKA. If he's not directly comparable with Willian then I don't know what is. One could make a very good case for Dzagoev being the superior player; Transfermarkt has already done so by valuing him much higher despite his being two years younger than Willian.
no problem bud. no rush at all, it is something I'm putting back to the new year anyways. I'm just looking into it to consider it, cheers in advance

Read what I just wrote here, dzagoev might have the greater potential(doubtful) but I think that willian is playing at a higher level. His current level is better than dzagoev and he will move to a better club in the summer. While starring in the CL anyway. It was a stupid offer, one that you would not accept if it was offered to you.
It was bollocks the first time I read it and it's still bollocks now. You think simply being in the Champions League makes one a more sought after player than another in the Europa? It's nonsense, and by that logic Theo Walcott be worth more than Gareth Bale. Even if you were right (which you're not), Willian doesn't play for his international side whereas Dzagoev not only plays, but also stars and scores and creates tons of goals at international level, so in that respect Dzagoev plays at a higher level than Willian.
Yup because russia and brazil are on the same level.
Starring in the CL is worth a lot more than starring in the europa that I know.Specially, in the context of this game. Also, its funny that you are trying to prove that dzagoev is a much better player than willian with respect to SM. So basically, what you are saying is that you are an idiot for trying to get an inferior player.
He rejected the bid, get over it cider for feck sakes.

No, I'm demonstrating that or could make a very good argument in favour of Dzagoev being the better of the two players, thus demonstrating that the offer wasn't in any way ridiculous.
Your point about Russia and Brazil not being of the same level is irrelevant in this context. You were claiming that Willian is playing in a higher level of competition and thus would be the more desirable player; I'm simply pointing out that Willian doesn't feature on the international stage, whereas Dzagoev is the star player of the Russian XI, having played many games and proving very productive; therefore your attestation that Willian is playing at a higher level of football in the CL is nullified by the fact that he can't get a game for his country, which means that, in that respect, Dzagoev is playing the higher level of football. The Russian Premier League is also a far stronger competition than the Ukrainian Premier League, so in that respect too Dzagoev is playing at a higher level.
You asked me to re-read what you'd written:
I'm just letting you know why what you wrote is bollocks, thus rendering you a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
Beat Spurs 2-0 away. Picked up my third injury of the season to a fullback (Piszczek, Diarra and now Pieters) but he should be back for my next game.
what is it with this feckin game? Hamsik is now out for 5 weeks. won 2-1
