sne Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Watching the Copa Libertadores final this morning and Valentin Barco for Boca looked a really interesting prospect. 19 y.o LB/LM/LW or whatever (he was everywhere on the pitch ) Quick google shows that the likes of Man C, Milan and obviously Chelsea are after him and I can see why. He's the type of signing I'd love for us to make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is already the most signed player on this years Football Manager so imagine his hype will also continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) We are currently a free scoring entitiy and our goals "for" column is impressive to the point we are one of the top scorers in the division. Our weaker stats, seem to suggest away from home, we concede too many goals....it does suggest to me, an area of interest. I think we should be looking at that, in this up and coming window....( we probably are) knowing how UE is on top of things. All our full backs have a clear tendency to be more comfortable going forward.....may be a more defensive one would give us a more rounded approach for the squad, and give us options against certain types of opponent. I don't think Ezri is ideal for that role, as good as he is, just a stop gap,option, for me. I don't think Ezri or Pau, should be played at full back, not athletic enough.

The right back from Boca looked good, shame he’s 33, if younger would have been a good option, was the top scorer for them in that competition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t paying £35m+ for an untested talent coming off a major injury and he wouldn’t start ahead of Cash for Unai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeroy Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 We need: An attacking midfielder who can score and create A right back who has a bit more quality than Cash A better holding midfielder than Donk who can genuinely push Kamara who far too often, like today, looks like he is coasting Doubt we'll get any of them though unless we're prepared to spend big.

The point is that Livramento was a safer bet than Zaniolo (in relative terms) due to him performing at a good level within the league that we play in. Zaniolo was a bigger risk, which is probably why we loaned him instead of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted reference from Emery that we sold likes of Archer, JPB due to FFP. That would line up with Zaniolo on loan, Tielemans on a free, and was it Evans or Preece months ago that said we were tight for spending due to FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
