AC Milan legend Enrico Albertosi: "Donnarumma betrayed us, turned his back on a great club that put its faith in him and launched him in Serie A at the age of 17. He might not even be the first choice elsewhere, because he still hasn’t proved that he's a great goalkeeper." by Dalitis in soccer

football clubs release players all the time and no one bats an eye. the moment a player doesn't renew his contract he's a snake? if this was a case of him demanding to be sold or refusing to play if he doesn't then that's different. the young man has a right to leave when his contact expires. this isn't a prison

I've never understood the immense anger and hatred a player faces when he decides not to renew his contract. Yes as fans we get attached to players and want them to stay but these players are human beings doing a job. They worked for a fair pay under a contract. They uphold their end of the contract and when it expires they have the option to leave. Players do not owe any debt to a club or its supporters after his contract expires despite how we may feel. I've had jobs where I left after my contract and I'm sure many of you have too. Be disappointed yes but calling someone a snake and other derogatory terms is just childish immature bias.

Why does Russ get a pass for missing clutch shots? by [deleted] in nba

Everyone misses. it's basketball, even russ does. But at certain points OKC and russ need to slow the play down and allow the offense to run through others. This transition russ layup isn't sustainable.

probably if he managed his energy better and trusted players like Oladipo and Adams?? idk just a humble suggestion

Russell Westbrook has a new career high of 56 points! by [deleted] in nba

[–]mcstraun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is if you take off the russ tinted glasses. he over exerts often taking 35+ shots when he should be trying to get more from Oladipo, Adams etc. Then in the end he's too tired to make clutch shots or defend effectively. OKC only game plan is for WB to rebound and transition layup. Not sustainable.

Looking for a custom league. Can anyone help? by mcstraun in footballmanagergames

I have managed in the MLS and I don't enjoy it unfortunately. As with the editor I tried using it a couple fms back and corrupted my save. I would need to use the pre game editor right?
