Man U signs Argentina keeper Romero

By -
Manchester United has signed Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero to a three-year deal on a free transfer. The 28-year-old Romero previously played for United manager Louis van Gaal at Dutch club AZ Alkmaar. Romero will provide competition for Spanish 'keeper David De Gea — currently pursued by Real Madrid — while Victor Valdes is set to be sold after Van Gaal said he refused to play in the reserves. "Sergio is a very talented goalkeeper," Van Gaal said. "He was a young keeper during my time at AZ Alkmaar and I am delighted he is joining Manchester United." Romero has played 62 matches for Argentina and played in the 2014 World Cup final against title-winner Germany. He made his senior club debut at Racing Club in 2007 before moving to AZ and most recently Italy's Sampdoria.

Happiness is a Friend Away

By -
What can we do when we have a friend who is truly unhappy with their life?

Is it our position to even say anything in the first place? If we elect to say something, how receptive will they be to even hear about it? Should we be considered a true friend if we just let this all continue to happen and do nothing about it?

How do we do this without causing some sort of conflict with them and/or lose the friendshipthat we have worked so hard to keep. Changing one’s own happinessis something that has to come from within. There are many reasons why someone may be unhappy with their own situations, but we cannot...

Nintendo delays first smartphone 'game'

Nintendo has announced its first smartphone 'game', but delayed its launch from the end of the year until next March. As some predicted, it was not a Super Mario game, but "Miitomo", an app in which players create their own avatars to talk to each other. The company's share price fell as much as 10 percent on the news. But one analyst said it was a typically cautious and prudent first step into smartphone gaming from Nintendo. Nintendo said that Miitomo would be a "free-to-start communication application". Players would create their own Mii avatars, which they could use to chat to other players, it said at a launch event in Tokyo on Thursday. It will also reportedly feature in-app purchases. The features have more in common with a social network than a traditional Nintendo game. Miitomo was designed as an introduction to Nintendo's other, yet to be announced, smartphone gaming efforts, the firm said, adding that it planned to have five apps...
