Austrian left back with a really big head.

Seems a nice lad. Wholesome.

The club probably fed that to Percy to placate us. All whilst working on a big money deal for Jordan Ayew.

Imagine if we're already in a position of not being able to bring someone in until we get someone out.

He did also get 11 G+A in the league last year, which is pretty much his best ever PL output. We would at least be getting him at his peak!

Good passer of the ball with very good defensive stats. Not sure if he's the one, but it's exactly the sort of profile we need alongside Winks in my opinion. Ndidi should only be a backup option this year if we want to do well.

Good idea. Should also implement a short ban for anyone posting "Close thread!" when another team is interested in one of our targets.

Would’ve been the exact same if he landed at East Mids.

More versatile so probably a better squad option in our position. But a ‘way’ better player? I’d rather have Ayew if I had to choose.

Judging by the players we’ve been strongly linked with, it looks like the club is aware of this at least. Whether they can remedy it or not, I have no idea! Fully agree on Ndidi though. Our fan base live in the past with him. Not good enough anymore.

Amazing that Palermo are able to stream it for free on YouTube. What a charitable club.

They must be taking a hit of millions. Renting very expensive cameras and everything.

He’s gone from Riquelme to Nicolas Medina in my eyes. What a difference 24hrs can make. Didn’t want him anyway!

Well they did it for free last year, has so much changed in broadcasting and media over the past 12 months? The equipment would surely be there anyway? Wouldn’t they be looking at the recording or at least clips after for analysis? I would bet that even the development squad games are recorded for the same purpose - Throughout all of the age groups. Maybe I’m naive, but I do expect them to provide meaningless friendlies for free. No shitty commentary or pre-match - Just a stream of the game. Not exactly asking for much.

The friendlies have been on YouTube for free for the past 10 years haven’t they? I did expect it this year as well to be honest. What a luxury. All the camera equipment would probably be there anyway for their own analysis and social media stuff. You have no idea of the cost implications of just streaming it on their YouTube channel.

So the Argentinian number 10 dream is nearly over. Fun while it lasted.

True. But they’re trying to win the league. We just need to be a bit less shit than the bottom three.

If he does well this season, I’m sure we’ll throw one of our famously massive contracts at him. No need to worry!

SC said he watched every single game from last season - Seems he thinks he can get more out of those two. I agree with all points…It’s worrying. Playing it off as a friendly is fine, as long as he is willing to accept that certain things don’t work and doesn’t have a set in stone system in mind.

He’s Wales’ number one…decent chance Cooper rates him. Plus he was the only player the fans were singing about last night. Slightly ironic, but SC wouldn’t have got that! Could be in for a tougher season than I thought.

He's no Maupay, but we'll take him.

What a refreshing take. Thank you.

We could do with more shithouses. Ones that can actually play football though ideally.

Probably the best game ever made. I still go back to it every few years I've tried it with updated squads etc, but it's just not the same. I need my fix of signing Taribo West on a free for the 1000th time. It's quite fun playing around with some of the scouting applications as well. Allows you to look at hidden/intrinsic attributes, so the ones that are actually used by the match engine. Bit cheaty obviously, but entertaining.

Wouldn’t say it’s a terrible shout to be fair. Biggest wage bill to ever get relegated? We were absolutely awful from the start. Whole thing was an embarrassment given where we’d been in the years before.
