Bernardo silva

Apparently after Fabio Borini as well. One of the reasons a lot of people don't like footy anymore as soon as you build a decent team it gets dismantled

tidied.

Wish we could mate. It's a funny one, teams make it look so easy. Monaco spent a fair whack on silva but I remember watching him in the under 21 euros a few years back and thinking he was going to be class. I'll never wrap my head around how in a time when money has been so rewarding in the premier league we've got scouting and recruitment so monumentally wrong.

Teams all over Europe make it look easy and have a constant conveyor belt of players either being bought in and sold on or developed and I would be interested to see if we have ever made contact with these teams and seen if we can maybe pinch a few of their ideas and implement them or change them slightly to put a stamp on it. I don't know how the ins and outs of that side of football works but I know clubs send young coaches to teams like Ajax and Dortmund for coaching courses and experience so surely a similar thing with recruitment could work.

Difficult to get work permits in the U.K but I understand what your saying. Plenty of European youngsters going about.

Isnt that mendy the one we tried to sign a few years ago? Seem to remember a pic of him on ellis' private jet or summit.

It is. He chose Marseille instead of us and the rest is history...

Honesty what's the point?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Bakayoko and Mbappe will probably be away as well

 

[Tin Soldier]

Wouldn't get £81m for our entire playing squad, stadium and training ground

Wouldn't part with Rodwell for that

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Becoming less and less interested in the game tbh. What's the point when you build a good side then get picked about by the usual suspects funded by gangsters and oil barons?

Halifax's finest

We can't manage the Sliver link...

 

[eddtheduck]

Luvvly (simpleh) player from what I've seen but this is the essence of where the game is going away from all but a few elite clubs.

Then they f**king twist about the amount of games they have to play and that they cannot make the top two etc.....

Gripe over

 

[Doberman]

confirmed on SSN. 5 year deal.

The only silva we would end up with is the one with a parrot on his shoulder

Ah yeah Africa and stuff it would be too hard but the Scandinavian nations seem to churn players out. Then like you say the rest of Europe too, might not fend off the big teams in Italy, Germany, Spain, holland, France or Portugal but there's always ones they will either miss or we could be chosen over clubs around our level or slightly higher by just offering more money alone.

I work with a lot of them....they've been getting progressively more mag-esque since they got bought out last summer. A few on here are bad for it. Still nowt on the twats across the park of course.

 

[Marv]

£43m. Bargain.

 

[Mikeftw]

Whats the f***ing point of a transfer window if teams can sign players outside it

 

[SGF]

Outstanding player, could go on to be one of the best imo

Totally agree

 

[FanForLife]

I'm sure the window opened yesterday or today...

Fraudioula will need another 300M budget to buy a trophy next season. Worlds best manager iirc
