Kabir Ali has agreed a three-year deal according to the BBC - compensation to Worcestershire is likely to be around the £60k mark. This could pave the way for more transfer fees in cricket, with players tied to longer contracts, which I'd say isn't necessarily a bad thing as it gives both player and club more security.

Of course, if we can get a reasonable score, you can probably guarantee the Aussies will do even better...

Care to explain what it is?

Well they know there'll be plenty of user-generated skins available within a week or two, so why bother spending money on it?

He can't bear the thought that another product might actually be half-decent. It's about time FM had competition, they've been resting on their laurels for far too long, relying on the goodwill of their dedicated fanbase to do their testing for them, releasing a product that simply doesn't work on launch day. I love the irony of having a go at Eidos for CM requiring a patch to get data up-to-date - at least the game's playable on launch, unlike certain titles. I couldn't even do a command-click (Mac equivalent of a right-click, if you weren't aware) in FM09 without it crashing!

Don't forget Adams as a spin option as well

Indeed, although being in the office it was never likely to be anything NWS

I'm selling my flat (or at least I will be when I've finished decorating) You'll get plenty of change from £250k

Nor did I dispute it - although I'm pretty sure there was at least one of the FM series that wasn't available cheap until about a month after release, but that's splitting hairs really

No, because I know I won't get anything remotely balanced from you when it comes to FM.

I R Fktard. Serves me right for just pressing Ctrl+V expecting it to be the right link... :oops:

He'll get a 3-game ban for the stamp and probably a large fine for the celebration.

I'd wager some serious money that the "demo" of CM2010 has less bugs than the launch release of FM2010.

Yep, taxi is arriving at 1pm

And the collective genii in charge of the game will probably phase out the 50-over format over the next few years...

UEFA only want to stop international transfers for under-18s. They would find it very difficult to prevent domestic transfers, IMO.

Poke will be ineligible. Quite happy with that draw, the game will almost certainly be on Tuesday 6th October. My birthday

Really hope we don't get Bournemouth, their fans will be unbearable regardless of the result.

Aldershot or Hereford away please.

We also paid a fee for Walcott.

They hate him, and as far as I'm aware he's being sent back here. On his debut, he was lobbed on two occasions from about 10 yards with headers and on Saturday he parried a shot about as powerful as Scotland straight into the path of the oncoming striker.

http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/administration/news/newsid=1097777.html Chelsea have been banned from signing anyone until 2011 after they were found guilty of inducement to breach a contract when they poached Gael Kakuta from Lens. Oops

I challenge anyone to say they saw this one coming...

Been to the Valley more times than I care to remember, so I'll be giving it a miss this time in favour of saving money for the longer away trips and the decorating I've been putting off for the last 3 months :smt017
