The reason they have the best team is they don't tolerate passengers and they ensure that every player that starts for them contributes. Anyone who plays an important role for them is a very good player. They have, like you say, the most money and the best manager, so there is no reason they...

Just contradicting yourself as you go really. Malvolio : - Gundogan is a washed bum near retirement - City also have lots of money and best managed team in the world with the best squad And yet they had Gundogan as a key player in a treble winning side not too long ago. Whilst having the best...

He isn't known as a goalscorer to be fair, or particularly as an assist king, one of his main strengths is great dribbling and ball carrying. He would certainly add more than Ferran but the question is do we need more bloat? If we're signing players it should only be ones that we see in the...

The real question is why tf were you arguing for 120 pages under a fake persona of a psychotic Scotsman? If it was just for the love of the game I respect it :lol:

I also think so. I think he expected us to be better and more competitive than we are and didn't expect he'd find himself in a rebuilding club that's clear 2nd best in Spain for the moment. Also like you say he was sold the project by Xavi and now Xavi's gone. Add to that the numerous...

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...
