Spurs will only pay transfer fees over the course of about 10 years so we can beat them for Sarr. Sarr and Doucoure in. Nakamba, Hourihane and El Ghazi out. Then possibly loan out one of Chuk or JPB.

Loan out JPB or Chuk? If Buendia moves central as everyone keeps saying, JPB is second choice RW behind Traore. He'll get enough games, particularly with all the time away Bailey will have away with Jamaica and if Traore gets in to AFCON with Burkina Faso (if that's still a possibility). Be silly to send him out. Chuk will get time too, we won't sign both Sarr and Doucoure. Signing one is fine but Sarr is a box to box but can be more defensive. We won't sign a DM and him and limit Chuk/Iroeg who are similar ages & styles and highly rated too. We'll sign one and give Chuk the minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a loan for Chuk would do him good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 2 hours ago, sne said: Abdou Harroui doesn't really make sense as a target for me. He turns 24 in January so he's not a young prospect and I can't imagine he's someone who'll improve our current starting 11. We already have numbers in midfield, what we could do with is a top quality midfielder who's a clear improvement or offers something different to the ones we have. Can't see this guy being that player. Well that doesn’t make any sense because Jesse Lingard is nearly 29! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on FM players seem to have their own thoughts, and won't make crazy moves (Like Neymar to Brighton for example) but on Fifa, if you have the cash you can literally sign anyone you want at any club you want. and Transfer negotiations take 30 seconds Edited August 23, 2021 by RichiBoi11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as you hit your 30's and after a break from it you actually realise just how difficult FIFA is. Football Manager is much easier. No dexterity or reaction speed needed at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2021 Don't sign any more 15 million players. They're useless, we got enough of them already. A real bang or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real bang or nothing. Didn't we buy Konsa for £12m - I know he still needed a bit of nurturing - and Martinez for £17m? That's some pretty good value around the £15m mark?? We aren't "yet" (hopefully) big enough to compete at the real bang end of the market and I personally believe we can build successfully the way we are going. I think Doucoure at £15m is partly a function of the position of the French clubs and the market. From what I have seen/heard, I would certainly be happy with this £15m?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're useless, we got enough of them already. A real bang or nothing. This is why we have Rob MacKenzie. He is employed to try and find those £15m players that can become £50m players. We can't do a Man City and keep buying everyone else's best players. I'd love us to sign Bissouma, but he'd cost £40m+ easily. There are some great players out there for around £15m, we just need to do better at finding them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2021 The chances of a 15 million player coming good are low. We're too good for that, and we already have midfielders that can do a half-decent job. 50 mill or nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're too good for that, and we already have midfielders that can do a half-decent job. 50 mill or nothing. The problem is that the midfielders are all quite samey, except Nakamba, who is a £7m player. But they are all good players. If we can bring in a better version of Nakamba, one that is a bit more consistent and can control games a bit more, I think that would make a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
