Soule is very good on FM therefore I am all in. 

Also a much cheaper option with a bit more flair

TLDW:

 

RW

Semenyo

Soule

 

CF

Kolo Muani

Joao Padro

 

CB

Van Hecke

Diomande

 

CM

Javi Guerra

 

 

I like the idea of buying both Joao Pedro and van Hecke after their recent fallout  

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Last time I built a FIFA team you only needed Tonali in CM to win the quadruple.

Pretty interesting graphic given we seemed to be less intense this season.

Past 15 years of windows, bar a few, have been absolutely wank. Can't blame anyone for being worried about it.

Wanna take us through how over a decade of transfer windows under Mike fucking Ashley are remotely relevant to our current situation? 

[Stottie]

Bournemouth are our kryptonite, so Semenyo's record vs. NUFC is P5 W2 D3 L0. One goal and two assists.

For comparison, his combined record vs. Liverpool, Citeh, Arsenal, Villa, and Brighton is 20 defeats in 27 games.

His record against Brentford even is P6 W0 D2 L4. The data is all comps.

Could argue end of season really. A lot of pants pissing last summer when we didn't turn to a different defender after Guehi or sign an RW, but end of the day we achieved our goals and haven't spent money on someone we didn't particularly want.

Explains our preference for dynamic players over the technically sharp ones.

Easiest explanation for extra running is Sandro. Does anyone have running stats for him? Kind of ironic that's its our cool-looking Mediterranean who bombs about all over the pitch.

Bruno also covers almost the most ground in the PL IIRC. Probably not as intensely mind. 

[Bimpy474]

It's tactical isn't it, whoever Eddie puts in there they have to be covering the ground. Then it's down to buying the right players who can do that, but also have the quality to just than more someone who covers ground, as i think we've clearly done. Tonali and Bruno (and Big Joe) are perfect for what Eddie wants.

You could argue even longer when you consider the impact of Tonali et al in this most recent season. 

 

I don't think there's much of an argument in favour for last summer mind you; recruitment was objectively a failure but we got away with it. Selling Anderson/Minteh instead of Bruno or any other prized asset is in the positives column, but it wasn't good.

 

But still you couldn't make that judgement until after the fact.

Bit harsh blaming fans for “pants pissing” last summer imo. It was a disaster of a window.

Nah, you'd think it was the end of the world on here last June-September. We won a cup & qualified for CL. Very definition of bedwetting.

I don’t think anyone thought we’d achieve that though. Shows how amazing Eddie and coaching staff and players did. Imagine what we could do with some good signings

We sold two highly rated youngsters, signed Kelly on a free who isn’t here anymore. Signed a keeper we didn’t want and are now stuck with. Signed Osula who hardly got a kick. It was a shocking window. What we achieved was a miracle considering. Being disappointed with that window is not bedwetting.

Agree. The 23/24 window was a considered a bedwetter during that season (Tonali ban, Hall not being played, Tino benched for first half) that’s turned out to be a cracking one in hindsight. The 24/25 window will forever be a bag of shit unless Osula turns out to be Mbeumo 2.0.

I didn’t say it wasn’t. 
 

I just wish people didn’t piss the bed, at people pissing the bed. 

 

I understand that I am now pissing the bed about those people pissing the bed, over people pissing the bed.

Not a single sprint though. 

[Deuce]

Funny this is, when we do make our first signing in the next few weeks, there’ll be plenty of posters, many of whom are the ones screaming about how we’re wasting time, who’ll slit their own throats because “we paid too much” or “he’s fucking shite.”

 

Ah, N-O. Never change.

I'll be readily on hand to say we overpaid but I wont be saying someone is shite or we took too long.

[Fak]

Soule scored the ultimate in-off-the-bar goal against Lazio this season. Sign him up.

And your prediction is just as tedious too. 

 

Think we’ve all been on this forum too long.
