Gato just ignoring the elephant in the room that he's accused of being that psychotic poster that argued for 120 pages with JamDav :lol:

In theory given how many good and young midfielders we have it makes sense to get him off the books even if it's a free transfer. These players like Pedri, Gavi, Fermin, De Jong need to be stepping up and forming the midfield of the future for our club, and that won't be involving Gundogan...

I think he'd happily go given he can receive a massive wage elsewhere. As a free transfer he'll have offers from every top club I would imagine.

So we're trying to sign a player that will cost at minimum 70m, whilst being unable to register existing players... ok. Seems very real!

This player can at minimum score like 10 LaLiga goals playing as a starter for Betis. I'm not worried and I don't think it will decrease his value, if anything, it will be good to loan him and re-evaluate our options after we see him actually play for a season. He also needs time, he's clearly...

It's a mix of both. Gundogan is on a very high wage, if he was on a low wage the club would probably have no problems keeping him. He also has off ball issues and can't run near as much as you would like your midfielders to despite still being class on the ball. He plays according to his age...

MD says that Newcastle are interested and are preparing an offer. Whilst it may just be tabloid talk, I do think there is some truth in it, as I've written here before I think he'd have interest from teams like those and could fit in well.

As serghei has mentioned before, a team can win without star individual quality if every player works hard and the team has an extremely high work rate. If all members of a team can run and press, the collective strength, despite the lack of star quality, is great enough to be able to...

+2 after day 1. Let's goooooo

Early days but Madrid don't look like the attacking force expected so far. It would be lovely to open up an early gap on them somehow if they drop some points in these next few weeks.

Out of Chelsea's squad. His agents have released a statement expressing their confusion. We should keep an eye on how this unfolds.

He might not be amazing, sure, but it's remarkable how bad his time here has gone. He looks unrecognisable from the fairly good and talented young player he was a few years ago. Sure, he never achieved anything huge in his career, but a player who was rotation attacker for City, starter for...

This is the type of player you need in modern football. Even if he has some weaknesses he's so physically top, has a good sense for goal and is decent technically. If he was paired with a winger who could dribble and go 1v1, he would look even better. Good signing and it's probably not worth...

We should save the criticism for when he doesn't score, to be fair. As mentioned here as long as he keeps scoring regularly it's more or less fine if he doesn't participate in the game that much. The real problem will be when he doesn't score and plays like shit.

Let's be real, as one does on FM, the club are scrambling to find money where possible and to file registrations in at the last minute, and he was part of that. If the club had a healthy situation we would be loaning him and monitoring his progress. 10 mill is pocket change for must top clubs...

It's like my money-making strategy on FM where I sign free agents then force them out a few months later. I never knew that strategy would be tried in real life... I guess it's FC Barcelona :lol:

It's frankly absurd to suggest this treatment against a player who arrived last season on a short term deal. It's not his fault we signed him and it's not a good look to keep signing players and forcing them out because they earn too much on contracts we gave them ourselves.

Who in his position would you rank above him? You can term him as a 6, 8, DM, whatever you want. I think there isn't actually as many as you think and the ones that are are players who we'd never be able to get.

It's only relevant when you are directly competing with the same team for the place. If we lose 2 games to Granada it isn't a 12 pointer as how many points they gain doesn't affect our target. Madrid's point tally is directly connected with ours and affects us competing for the title so that is...
