Corriere dello Sport: Milan is thinking about Lassana Diarra - link

They'd be nuts to let him go, he was one of their better players. Wouldn't mind him, cooties and all.

That would be Galliani's way of secretly telling us we have a non-EU on the way....I mean, its pretty obvious we have a spot open, and contrary to popular belief I know Galliani is not that stupid. So....hmmmm.

Mourinho is blocking the transfer of Van der Vart to Milan. He ain't let him leave until Real buys another midfielder and gets back from the tournament in USA. - link

Ugh thats 7 days away. I want him NOW! I don't care when really, as long as we get him before Fifa 11 comes out. Ohh..uhh.. I mean, before the season starts.

I wouldn't mind Lass at all. In fact, he'd be the type of player our midfield would benefit from. But if I had to choose, I'd still pick VDV.

Just transfer him yourself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That doesn't do me any good online! Fifa has become an online-only game for me just about. The new career mode this year looks pretty cool, so I might give it a run.

I'm a manager mode junkie!

But I can't stand online play!! Sometimes the server trouble is just awful. The lagging causing the game to stutter thus ruining a play, and my biggest pet peeve of all, people quitting on you just because they're losing!

Anybody that quits early should get a day ban from playing FIFA online, that'd make 'em think twice.

I'll be giving FIFA 11 a try this time around. Until last year, I've only been playing PES, but I'm growing kind of bored of it, and the lack of licensing is annoying.

I've never really got into the whole PES thing, at one point sure it was miles ahead of FIFA in terms or gameplay but both are on level playing field these days. Plus like you said the licensing thing is very annoying.

Hopefully there is a huge improvement on manager mode in 11, because 10 was a disgrace on that aspect. There were so many huge bugs in it that you wonder why you spent over €60 on something that they didn't even bother to test well

Fifa now has Career mode, they said they re-did manager mode so much they felt like they should re-name it. That and the skilled passing are the two main improvements released so far, along with Creation center and the jukebox.

You think so? From 2002 until 2008 I only played the Pro Evo games, but FIFA has way surpassed it now I reckon. The gameplay on PES is terrible, it's like playing an N64 game with upgraded graphics!

Hmm, renaming it does not technically mean that they've improved/fixed all of the problems Fifa 10's manager mode had.

We'll see, hopfully it not another case of money down the drain


Well to tell you the truth I haven't played PES 10 I had 9 though and I thought it was more or less on the same level. I mean graphics wise Fifa trump them but the gameplay on that version I thought PES was better. I'm more of a Fifa fan myself so I'm biased on that front. We'll see how the 11 series turn out...
