noikeee Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Both Jota and Zaha have "cuts inside" PPMs, so I bet they double up very nicely both as wingers (per the role) and as fake IFs (per the PPM)... best of both worlds, doing a bit of each.

I've extended his loan; would love to sign him permanently but they're still after £200m....Hope I can prize him away in the future whilst developing him here on loan.

smp20 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 August 2020 Transfer Update Our signing of Dele Alli allowed us to capitalise on the interest in Badou Ndiaye, who opted for Monaco over Atletico Madrid. Joe Gomez is a quality option at both centre back and right back, and due to the partnership between Lascelles and Maguire I expect him to be our right back to start with at least. Fraser Forster rejoins the club as our 2nd choice keeper; an integral HG at club signing. I had no intention of selling Zaha but the money on offer was silly. His replacement is Felipe Anderson, the modern day Rivaldo . We also did our first regen hunting of the save: At £17m, Josh Crompton is a costly 16 year old but he looks class and is already good enough to make a first team impact. Leroy already has Eredivisie experience after a loan to Heerenveen and was a steal at £4m. He's the perfect understudy to Lascelles in the only out and out defensive position in the side.

smp20 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 2020/21 Mid-Season Update Premier League We're leading the title race as it stands, but Guardiola's Liverpool and Mourinho's Utd have games in hand, and Zidane's City are looking strong this season. I can see this one going to the wire! Champions League We finished 2nd in our group behind our bogey side Shakhtar and now we've got a tough knockout against PSG. Player Stats New star signings Alli and Anderson have settled straight into the side and performing wonderfully, whilst both strikers are banging in goals! Only slight worry is the form of Diogo Jota, who's done well but nowhere near the heights of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this one comes back to bite Mourinho With Lukaku coming in, it didn't make sense to stall Nketiah's development by leaving him on the bench. He's off to Chelsea to show what he's made of!

Centre back maybe? Cheers, I've thoroughly enjoyed it! Yes I was thinking either centre back, or move Gomez to first choice CB and bring in a top class attacking FB. I like Maguire, but he's caught out against pacey forward lines and when you've often only got your two CB back it can result in a lot of goals/mistakes. Butland is getting interest left right and centre, so I'm contemplating letting him go and bringing in a true sweeper keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
