    What job are you going for that FM stats will be considered a positive?

    And are we out of the relegation zone with your team?
    Can I also respectfully suggest that when evaluating potential new employees their trading ability on an internet game is not something that persuades me they could do a job for my company but I am sure Ashley might be interested in you as a replacement for Graham Carr if he carries on digging up more useless Frenchies.

    I'd leave it on your CV. Football Manager 2016 takes a lot of hard work and dedication unless you use the editor. Do you want a job? However you will have to show me a screen shot of your trophy cabinet and career history. You will also have to own up to any cheating i.e. use of editor or switching it off after a loss etc (my techie guys can check this). Only then can you fill the current vacancy I have. Its a new post which basically involves sending JPF lots of different pictures of wangers. The wangers will be of varying sizes and colour. You will also be responsible for your own research. I'll do a monthly check of your internet history to make sure you are searching for nothing but a variation on the word wanger.

    The job isn't his yet Trev so don't be too concerned. To be fair I'm struggling to link FM16 to wangers, but the job advert is footed with the line "Experience preferable but not essential"

    If you think you are better placed for this demanding role, tell me about your experience in the field of wangers.

    I currently have a job as a surgeon for Thai men who have been born in the wrong body, so I must admit to having vast experience in the field of wangers, plus I did a degree in potatoes, its why my surgery is called Wangers and Mash!

    Although the proposed job sounds like a lot of fun and definately rewarding, I am going to have to decline on the basis that you couldnt afford me!

    So bumping this in light of the Telegraph's claims that Lacazette himself has had a bit of a u-turn and will now consider coming to be the hero. Allegedly the performances have been positive, Sissoko's been having a word and he's now keen to give it a shot at around £20m.

    At this moment in time, I'll take this all day long.

    His movement in the box is classy, I watched extended highlights of Lyon vs Marseille (Batshuayi combined with Remy Cabella (scorer) to score a tidy goal in the game by the way), he really looks like he'd fit into this league seamlessly.

    If it's a goer, I think it'll be a great signing for you lot.

    To be honest its now at the point where it doesn't matter about the name on the back of the shirt but we just need a proven goal scorer in this week or we are really starting to look like struggling to beat the drop.

    If this lad comes in he HAS to be ready to hit the ground running straight away, no time for passengers.

    Give them Thauvin an'all. Surely we can get this one done? Don't buy Townsend either, let Aarons come back in.

    Thauvin can only go to Marseille, he's played for Newcastle and Marseille this season. <ok>

    Haha, I'd love to say "I know", but I'll be honest and accept my stupidity. Happy coincidence, as it's probably the only team in the World who'd want him.

    I reckon there'd be interest from Italy. Milan were all over him at one point when he was at Bastia.

    I still think the lad would do well in this league if he wasn't involved in a scrap for survival.

    Last time I watched him, he was on the left, with a shoddy LB behind him, he looked shot to bits. You only have to look at Eden Hazard to see what confidence or lack thereof can do to a player in this league.

    Same with Depay.

    It's getting to the point where the unforgiving nature is relentless. Even typical whipping boys are just kicking on and making it impossible for the glamour players. Leicester a great example, it's almost kick and run, then when they haven't got the ball they're snarling and nipping at ankles, nobody gets a second to sit on the ball. Talent's just not enough here anymore, not unless that talent is almost transcendent! You need to be good on the ball but aggressive - Tottenham's transfer blueprint - be quick and have the stamina to last - Leicester's! The days of being able to carry players is almost at an end; some managers get it wrong by demanding a defensive ethos from their better players - that's not quite it, as it stifles their ability and mentally hits their game. This is where we in England get it wrong. But you can 'defend' from the front, attack without the ball almost; you can't afford to lose it and throw your arms into the sky, you have to keep going and keep going. The likes of Thauvin will never do that and NUFC will never have a team to allow him to be a flapper. This is where our head scout and MD have badly let the club down; everybody knew this years before he signed.

    If he's willing to come then get him ****ing signed. I don't care if we sell him for twice/ three times the price in 6 months. We need him.
