I was actually counting Araujo sold as well in my scenario. Balde/Grimaldo - New LCB/Martin - Cubarsi/Garcia - Cancelo/Espart. But yeah, maybe Espart could benefit from a loan, but I just feel like with Garcia's prominence and versatility it would almost be a waste to only use him at RCB, and...

Don't even need Ratiu in that case, I feel. Garcia is more than good enough to provide main backup for Cancelo. And we still have Espart (who Flick seems to really be a big fan of) to play the easier (Copa) games, with Garcia in those games playing RCB, replacing Cubarsi. Kounde's sale can be...

Why the fuck are we not all over this? He's pretty much begging us to come and get him. Affordable, home grown, would bring much need competition to Balde, and would allow Cancelo to return to his primary RB position where Lamine needs him urgently to take some pressure and defenders off him...

Why the fuck are we not all over this? We clearly hit pause on the Alvarez deal to let Atletico cool off and are also wondering about alternatives, so why are we not completing affordable deals like Grimaldo and Cancelo in the mean time so we can pretty much only be left with a (L)CB to buy...

I'd say CAM, after we hopefully sell Olmo in the next 2 years max. Backup for Fermin, and might even take him on for the starting role in no time.

how is he Madrid bound when they just signed Konate and extended Rudiger? Yes, Madrid is (along with Liverpool) one of the three teams he has a special release clause for between 50-60M in his new contract, but maybe we're still that 3rd team, especially after it was confirmed Bayern was NOT...

Come on now, Haaland (a literal statue waiting in attack invisible for 3/4 of all games) is a better fit for Flickball than crazy pressing Alvarez, who is also a set piece specialist and can reach similar numbers to Haaland? You can't be serious.

he'd be brilliant (probably the better option than all of Bastoni, VDV, Schloterbeck), but very difficult to convince, since Arsenal will be buying him just this summer. Him and Gvardiol are my two favourite targets we should be looking at...get either one of them alongside all the others, and...

That's PL tax for you. Just think of it this way, if he has a solid World Cup, he'd be going for 20M more than we (over)paid now. Especially if he'd go to Liverpool, no chance the transfer would be anything under 80-90M fixed, even close to 100M with bonuses.

So if this goes true, we basically pay 58M for Gordon, the same as we did for Raphinha. And in a world where Abde goes for 60M, we got Gordon cheaper. Anyone seriously still thinking this was a bad deal when you put it in this context? Funny, we were looking to not be prepared to pay more than...

Better yet, trust Flick, cause he was the one that wanted him most. And he deserves a summer where he gets the players he wants!

Hmm ;) :cool::ROFLMAO:

Osimhen for 80M and Espi for 20M. There's our 100M striker money well spent. And if we're really lucky, we also get 50M for Ferran and spend it on defense (although the bitch already made it clear that he wants either an extension this summer or he'll walk for free next summer, so we're probably...

If we're going the Muriqi/Sorloth route, Espi is the better, younger and cheaper option out of these.

Even better. All in on Osimhen. Sell Ferran. Get Espi anyway. Perfect.

You can cross off Lautaro too, he just put out a statement on how he wants and sees himself retire at Inter. I would add Carlos Espi from Levante to the list instead, some reports lately that we're preparing a 15M bid for him (his release clause being 25M). Honestly, I don't hate it. If we're...

He's always my first sale for like 80M (usually to Inter) when I start a brand new career mode save on FC 26, to make room to then bring back Messi for peanuts until he retires.:pep: The Gods must've finally seen the light. :mou:

Yep, I see something like 5-2, with Lewa getting his mandatory (even if it's from a pen) 120th goal in his 192nd, and final appearance

Yeah because his technical skills were never good enough for Barca.

Nah, still 4 points clear, and play home vs Elche next round, which they're gonna win, and then it's basically done. They've been quite lucky that both Sociedad and Bilbao have been so underwhelming in the league. But I don't mind, like Betis more anyway, and it will be nice to see a new Spanish...
