see, i love that design but it's just far too common now. the city group use this same template for every team they buy. 

NYCFC

Melbourne City 

Montevideo

Look at Touloue's as well. A well known team, and I legitimately thought they were owned by them based on their latest badge:

Always thought they could do something really cool and unique with an interlocking “AV” rather than trot out another city group-esque round badge.

he's been holding his own in the premier league in the appearances he's had this season, but it's the performances against serbia and austria u21s that have made people debate whether he should be starting 

don't know anything about otavio but if we're looking at porto wingers we should be in on pepe, he looks quality.

the narrative in here has changed all of a sudden

Marina doodah has left hasn't she? The owners should get her in to replace Purslow if she's interested.

doubt any team will go near her considering she was so close with abramovich

Both look clean as hell, love them.

kind of goes under the radar because of the result but his goal against city was absolute filth.

is it even legal for his agent to meet with them? he's under contract until 2023. it was my impression that he could only explore other options at the turn of the year unless with gave him permission, which I highly doubt.

yes, this is fm logic. 

He’s been a bit chaotic whenever I’ve seen him, admittedly not very often

Just read back some comments about his performance, I was quite surprised (but I guess I shouldn’t be by now) how remarkably different they were to mine.

I thought Olsen did really well for a back up keeper making his debut… he wasn’t exactly ropey, he claimed the ball well and looked fairly composed. 

agreed, after a nervous start he settled in well

he reminds me of fernando torres post liverpool. a player totally devoid of any confidence. there is obvious quality there, but he lacks the same conviction and belief he had. he was famous for his long shots, now he drags them wide regularly. he was great at going past players, now he gives a few shimmys and lays it back five yards instead of driving forward.

he wasn't horrible today, but it was another nondescript showing.

Stop talking rubbish. It’s a valid point, we had the same with JPA early on, the bloke likes to pass the ball and half our midfield don’t move. 
 

Burnley are (at least for the next 2 games) PL players but do you think someone like Bernardo Silva would enjoy playing in there team?  

we're hardly burnley though are we? people seem to think we've got cloggers in there with him. douglas luiz is his brazil team mate and digne who he links up with a lot is a france international.

So bring Salah into this team and he would score as many goals as he does in the Liverpool team. I wish Coutinho could run the show, but if you haven't got players on his level, it's not going to take time to work, an that player becomes frustrated.

if you put salah into our team he would make us a lot better. he might not score as many as he does for liverpool but he would be a clear upgrade for our team in terms of goals. i just think he offers very little at the moment and I don't think it's fair to blame other players for it.

I want him here, but he is too good for us. Seems to be finding it hard to find a player ready for that pass.

You would be frustrated, giving all the skills, to look up and no one is there.

this argument is akin burying your head in the sand. these are premier league footballers he's playing with.

All the negative posters, do everyone, including yourself, a favour and disable your internet for a week. Or longer.

or you could just accept that people have different opinions

i was told he was still world class. absolute non factor again.

My main worry was the wages but if it is less than 150k as reported I’m fine with it. Nice

I actually like them much more than I thought I would considering it's Castore. They look quite elegant.

The money saved on the fee will be used to pay his wages for a while, so there's that. 

Yeah but then that’s still money that could be used elsewhere. We’ll wait and see I suppose

At the end of the day you get what you pay for. If Villa wanna be up there then that's what it takes 

For me so far Coutinho hasn’t been a player worth 200k a week. He might be on more.

I’m not convinced by him either but it’s a great fee, which makes me think the wages will be tough to swallow

narrow diamond probably.

Hes hit the post so hes a good player?

Ramsey not as good as Luiz?

He might turn out to be as good as you seem to think he will be. I think he looks ok, but i've seen plenty of 18 year olds down VP who were going to be world beaters, Mark Burke springs to mind.

I still think he will sign a new contract, but i'm not going to get upset if he doesn't

i clearly never said either of those things. coming on and flashing like he did against spurs was impressive. 

ramsey wasn't as good as luiz last season either, but he's just as good now if not better. which is my point.

no-one thought ramsey was gonna be as good as he is now last season. carney has shown just as much ability, if not more,  in his fleeting appearances this season and last than ramsey did in his first campaign in my opinion, and he's two years younger. i'm not saying he's gonna make the same jump but i'm just seeing quite a lot of salty opinions just because he might want to leave.
