right then, another post.
seems i'm blogging less and less often. hm. i think that's just as well. more content per post.
well, i've been going through a rough patch. i think i'm okay now, but that was fucked up, nevertheless. i still won't be at 100%, not for some time yet. maybe not until the O Levels are over. don't know, but i don't think i can afford to be that jolly for some while yet.
well, football. It's all about the transfers now, isn't it. Even in my PES Master League game. i'm signing players left, right, centre. But the real-life transfers are what's most interesting at the moment. Anderson, Nani and Owen Hargreaves, for a total of (about) 47m. that is some crazy money. i'm still reserving judgement on both Nani and Anderson, but nevertheless excited at the prospect of having 2 Portuguese madmen on the flanks, with a flair Brazilian in the middle and an Englishman mopping up any messes. it's really very, very exciting, i can't wait to see them in action. if all works out, we would have an absolutely top-of-the-line midfield, AND with longevity on our side too. very exciting stuff. my only worry now is that, with 47m already spent, will we have enough money to get a top-class striker? the only strikers we have now are Rooney (scores loads, but only in phases), Saha (Mr Injury Man), Solskjaer (predator, but past his prime), Smith (striker only in name, really. =/) and Rossi (waaaay too inexperienced at the moment). we need a Villa, or Eto'o. personally i'm not too convinced by Torres. he seems ultra-overrated to me. Good, but not as fantabulous as everyone seems to be saying he is.
it would be brilliant if we could a) sign some unknown fella for a budget price and he turns out to be the next Drogba or b) the Glazers pull another 20m+ out of their asses and we get one of the aforementioned strikers. alternatively, there's been a little talk about signing Mark Viduka on a free. i'm not averse to that idea at all, but he's certainly not a long-term solution. would be very interesting/funny seeing the big Australian in a United shirt though. in any case, we NEED a top-class striker. we can't depend on Ronaldo giving us 20+ goals every season, after all.
lol, transfer season always excites me. the very idea of pulling of a bargain deal for a 20-goal-a-season striker or a Bosman transfer for the next big thing (for any club, not just United) always sets my pulse racing. lol. it's one of the fun aspects of playing FM too. i'm playing my Blackburn game (taking a break from United). for such a (relatively) small club, i've built up a qutie formidable squad, within budget too. Proud of that. lol.
well, POP's next week. gotta get my lips going again, and i'll be set. hope to fit in some football too, if possible. nothing like a football match with old pals, cheekily nutmegging someone, partaking in role-playing (so far i've been Rooney, C. Ronaldo and even Kanu, lol), just trying to replicate the happenings in the EPL and various other competitions we follow... all things i enjoy about the Beautiful Game.
Conquer O is over, i'll finally have my hols. 'Ere we go, 'ere we go!
