Just caught up on the last pages in this thread. Hope everything turns out well for you.

 

Doing a trip with a bunch of my students. Switzerland, Italy (Como and Cinque Terra), France (Provence and stuff), Spain (Barca). We only get about 2 nights per country, but it’s free and lets me see if there’s anywhere I’d want to come back to on my own for longer.

 

Such a bargain deal

 

Cinque Terre GOATed but it’s going to be SLAMMED. Highly recommend revisiting in the shoulder season when you can still swim and boat.

 

Lyon are just fucked financially from what I understand.

I am blown away at how young he is. I swear he was 19 on FM like 5 years ago, crazy that he is only 21.

 

We need a striker but I’m not a huge fan of this

 

I keep thinking Spurs could see Romero, Son, Richy, and Bissouma all leave this summer. But then I think about how bad we are at selling players. And it makes me wonder who will actually leave.

Son - I think the club will leave it up to him if there is a good offer on the table. And with Saudi clubs calling, I’m assuming a good offer will be presented.

Romero - The club will likely try to extend him. He will refuse. Atletico will lowball us. It’ll drag out all summer. And we’ll sell him the week leading up to first match.

Bissouma - I think this is the easiest of the bunch to pull the trigger on a sell. He’s too inconsistent, only has a year left on his deal, and we should be able to easily upgrade. Could see him going to Turkey.

Richarlison - This one depends on the options we have for a replacement imo. Solanke is the no9 and that won’t change this summer. So we won’t be spending big here. How easy will it be to upgrade from Richy for…30m? His inconsistent availability is the biggest concern. When he’s healthy he’s a perfectly fine striker behind Solanke.

These are the only main players from the squad that I could see leaving. And it wouldn’t shock me if all four are gone.


For incomings, we’ll mostly likely target a versatile attacking player, DM, CB, backup LB.

 

Hugo Viana masterclass right there.

 

Spurs want Semenyo according to Sky. He’d be a good signing. Wanted him as RWB at United

 

I see United are still interested in him as well. Maybe we hijack Mbeumo and you guys take Semenyo?

 

I think if the rumoured price of 70m is correct we’re out of the running for Semenyo.

 

Oh if that’s the price on Semenyo no way we’re getting him either.

also, this…

I think the club will finally make the move for Eze. Levy has wanted him for years.

 

Eze will surely be £70m+ too

 

Wales are getting destroyed by Belgium here. Lucky it’s only 3-0 so far.

 

Eze better value even at £70m+, absolutely quality player that would shine even more in a better team.

 

Yeah, this. If we’re paying that much give me Eze over Semenyo.

 

Wow that second Wales goal is so good. Brennan Johnson and Harry Wilson’s interplay was fantastic, and a good finish.

 

Johnson looks good today

 

Belgium have been dogshit since subbing Trossard. Which pleases me.

 

Damn this sucks. I actually liked him as a referee. Always came across as hard but fair, and he stood up to the players antics if necessary. Seemed like a good man, too.

 

Nobody likes a grass, Forest.

 

Damn, okay, this would be mad.

 

Great player, but I'm starting to think Mikel speaks a language from a distant land that nobody else speaks. That's why nobody can get it through to him that he needs a striker haha
