It's a desperate gamble, but we're in desperation territory. He's a known Premier League threat and may just change a few teams' approach towards games against us. There's a whole list of players I'd rather sign, but they're all heading to Hoffenheim or Saints.

Not sure how dumb it would be. We need some proven X factor, and a bit of swagger. If he's happy to come for a year, he's probably our best bet.

Spot on, ownership isn't the issue beyond his blind loyalty to Rudkin. Top needs hardened decision makers around him, as he's so wet behind the ears. Top, and his father before him, have always invested in the club. His downfall is that he's not decisive enough and has entrusted that cash with a DoF who is in above his head.

Just relegate us now Hopefully then Top gets bored and sells up. Oh, what we could have been!

Shush with your logic and balanced views. We are sh*t and people would rather sign for Leyton Orient.

Didn't we get Robert Huth for a giveaway (loan) deal, who is widely regarded as being vital in us staying up?

Think he means the guys with asterisks next to their name, so 3. If it's going to be 4 of them, I'd have to pick Hlozek, Zaha, Skipp and Ioannidis.

Fatawu Hlozek Mavididi Zaha

Granted I've had zero interest in the pre season friendly disaster, but we seem to be shipping goals too easily. The defence worries me. Nicking the odd 1-0 sh*thouse could be the difference since we don't look full of goals.

Because there's probably better out there, younger and cheaper.

Nah. Fatawu, Bergwijn, Fofana, Ayew, Doak and Asprilla are all Wing Backs. Carvalho and Soule are inverted. Modern and all that...

Mads Ricardo Faes Justin Winks Fatawu Bergwijn Fofana Zaha Mavididi Nelson Soule Carvalho Doak Ayew Bouananotte Asprilla Vardy It's a bit of an overload in midfield but I feel we could win.

How do I know how hopeful to be on this signing without knowing what tier the source falls in

Only 3 more loans after this 1 until he can leave on a free, superb business.

Nah, you clearly don't remember Hossein Kaebi.

If anything, it'd save me having to try and sign him on FM25. Absolute beast on previous versions. Just for that, I'm in. A bit like Youri Tielemans a few years back.

Because, if we signed them all, we'd be world beaters

Why on earth would you hate Maddison?

I just can't see us getting him, makes too much sense. In fact, I'm that confident I can see @Kp1984 shouting for the thread to be closed, every single page.

He fits in ahead of these 3.

Moved on from Soule maybe?

It looks like training wear or pre match wear, not an actual kit. Poor effort.

A bit "meh" as far as Napoli kits go. Their away and 3rd are usually top drawer though, will be interesting with Emporio on board.

I'm watching on iPlayer, so if the country as a collective can hold off their celebrations until a minute after a goal is scored, that'd be great.

Yeah I agree. A tournament with all the same teams in, plus more quality like Brazil and Argentina is a lot easier
