Optimistic Nut

I remember a version of FM when I was Hearts, had about 6 players on this highest earner clause around £10k each. Signed Ben Arfa on £45k a week, crippled me having 6 players getting £35k a week rises at once.

They're one of the biggest advocates of PSR, Super League, etc. They're doing more than most to damage it.

Unless he's staying here for specific training, I hope he goes even if it's just for marketing reasons even if he can't play.

One or two if they're lucky might end up at someone like Everton, West Ham, Fulham for £30m when they go down.

Didn't realise he played so much on the left as well as up front. Might still see Barnes or Gordon go if we need the money elsewhere and he's the hybrid winger/striker?

Hearts have now signed an Albanian winger from the Italian Serie C..Bloom-ball.

Who are Brentford signing? Their forward line being ripped up.

West Ham will cuff them 0-3 opening day and reality will hit hard.

Go for first choice players first, if you can't afford those, go for padding the squad out surely?

Similar age to when we paid £6m or so for Les Ferdinand. This probably the equivalent of a £4m signing back then.

Had to send him home to get away from the speculation.

Over 25.4m followers man. I bet 3/4s of those are your Barca, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc fans. Football is shit.

I don't even think it's that, he just seems a smarmy prick, pandering to the "big clubs" fans and the big clubs themselves.

Romano is a right prick.

First draft has no Salah or Haaland but feel I'll change that by time the season starts.

Probably no more or less than what any of our other signings would have preferred if PSG then Liverpool bid for them?

Yep, didn't have a scooby. As long as Hope has his pencil ready to write his "home truths" stuff, though.

I'm guessing he'll have came in on a relatively low wage and his status and performances will likely deserve way more. He'll at the least be deserving of the sort of wages Barnes, Schar, Joelinton are on.

Or City have told him that they're selling a keeper, don't make a decision yet, we'll bid when they know more.

When we play these next month I hope it's a minute silence in respect to Jota, then absolute vitriol from kick-off. No "You'll Never Walk Alone" or tifos, etc. That club and fans can get to fuck.

You don't think City crawl out of the woodwork as soon as we do that? This whole summer has been a list of examples of exactly this happening.

If we'd bid the £40m a month ago, all that would have happened is what's happened with Delap, Pedro, Ekitike, and Man City would have made their bid then. Don't think it'd have made a lot of difference.

Just goes to show that even with PIF, we're still punching above our weight. £80m for a striker, we can't do that. PSR is a fucking abhorrent.

Would have been far more speculation and worry if he'd flown to Newcastle direct on his own.

Did the group land in Glasgow from Austria?
