    See, this is why I said £15million was an insulting offer for Charly. Lots of clubs are interested in him and can clearly see the talent there. It's 30mill plus or **** off at this stage.

    It's 30mill minimum for me. Especially given the money being thrown around for other players.

    I think they said it was because West Ham have spent a lot of money so signing him on a 7-year deal helps with cash flow and/or payment terms, even though PSR would still count it over five years.

    I wasn’t fully listening though, so I could be completely wrong.

    Another one for FM players, saints being linked with Adamo Nagalo from FC Nordsjaelland.

    Another centre back so seems unlikely unless we really want 6

    Rather annoyingly, Hlozek has gone on a scoring spree in my save just after the news he was going to Leicester broke.

    In my save, Sam Amo is one of the world's best players...

    I got a massive win in my last youth intake as I got one of those "has the potential to go to the very top" prospects. At 15 he had a two star rating and 5 star potential. made his first team debut just after he turned 16. I literally put him straight in the first team squad.

    I have the same! His name is Carl White and he has scored 6 goals in 5 appearances.

    I’ve just been reading an article where they are theorising the “flops” of the season.

    In it they really highlight the difficultly lots of clubs have with signing strikers. The article discussed all the money blown on ineffective strikers by West Ham and Everton over recent years. And I expect if you dig in they aren’t the only ones. Zirkzee is on the list because Man United can’t get it right with more resources than most

    I’d partially add Villa as they have had one success in paying a massive fee (that we never could) for Watkins from the only club that has been successful albeit not in the premier league so far. Brentford’s striker signing has just got a serious injury so it will be a while to see how they’ve done this time. Wolves were perennially linked to Che Adams because they couldn’t get anyone

    When it comes to strikers it’s an expensive gambling game it seems.

    Randomly, mine is of Portuguese nationality. He's a CM, and he's got excellent set piece ratings. Also got Savio on the left who produces assists for fun. And he didn't throw a hissy fit when I rejected 75million bids from Spurs and Chelsea for him which has to be a first.

    I used to have a 5* England international new gen who helped them win the World Cup and me the Champion's League. Forced a move to PSG. I stopped playing.

    Apparently Brentford are holding out for £60m for Toney - who is in the last year of his contract. There aren’t many clubs that will pay that for someone in the last year. Especially with all the rules now.

    Ajax have had a loan bid for Ramsdale rejected as Arsenal want a permanent sale, not that we ever had a chance to get him but that should be the end of that

    At least we can move on to more realistic targets. Cant see who is going to pay what Arsenal want for him though. Most clubs don’t have the big fees sloshing around and a gap at goalkeeper

    Not if it gets to the end of the window and they still haven't sold him. They'd rather a loan fee and wages saved then just keep him - plus the player wants to play.

    Depends if he wants to go abroad, tbf. He has just got married and has recently had a baby if I'm not wrong

    Arsenal may want a sale but you don't always get what you want. Ramsdale certainly won't tolerate sitting on the bench all season again.

    Loan with obligation if we stay up. Simples.
