Roost 5

Clause has been activated to make a £14m permanent move in the summer

yeah everybody wants the winningest team to win more. totally not boring

damn bro your logic is, as always, infallible

He will leave the club after 15 seasons with Athletic Bilbao: he's been with the club since he was 13, joining the pro squad in 2009, playing 26 games in his first season, 4G and 3A. Already convincing, he took a starting place in LW, then in RW and more recently in CAM. With 557 games at club level and an average of 37 per season, he has become a key member of the Los Leones Rojiblancos' attacking game. His list of honours isn't huge, but it is packed with trophies: - Firstly, in the Spanish U-21 team, with two Euros in 2011 against Switzerland (2-0), then in 2013 against Italy (4-2, hosted in a country of terrorists). (He also finished 2nd at the Euro U19 in 2010, and 3rd at the WC U17 in 2009). - In the pro ranks, he won the LFP award for best La Liga revelation in 2010-2011; he won the Spanish Supercup twice, in 2015 (5-1 agg. against Barca) and in 2021 (also 3-2 against Barca). And most recently, he won the Copa del Rey (1-1 and 4-2 aux pens against Mallorca). (He also finished 2nd in the Europa League in 2012; 2nd in the Copa del Rey in 2012, 2015, 2020 and 2021; and 2nd in the Spanish Supercup in 2022). In short, a fine career that perhaps deserved more caps for La Roja. We wish him all the best for the rest of his career at the age of 31, either at another club or in well-earned retirement.

Many men wish death upon me

After two seasons playing on legendary with sliders: https://sofifa.com/squad/1795625

Yes he is the brother of Niklas Süle

I made up a scenario where a Brazilian investor influences Udinese Calcio´s squad. More details are in the squad description. Not too realistic, but maybe fun to start a career with. https://sofifa.com/squad/1796223

actually just keep arnold until he dies

Ah yes remounting

I am Colombian Either way I don't think an Irishman has grounds to look down on US footy Stick to Gaelic football or hurling buddy

We're so going for the title now

If they want to pay 175mil yeah could be realistic

Nah man you'll have to restart if you want the scans. I wouldn't bother tho, unless you plan on using them and their in game face is utter shite...

Great squad, Please sell Borja Iglesias, He’s trash

Martinez Quarta sounds realistic ( he was linked with the club in the past) Parejo, Coquelin and Capoue arent very realistic, although I'd love to see parejo ad the club (as a huge fan of Betis that I am), because he fits very well in Pellegrini's style of play. Marcos Alonso is good, but I'd love to see Alex Moreno back at the club. Fornals sounds really good, but its true that the midfield is crowded. I hope this helps

Yes, we will be making moves this year As for loans, many will be sold ($$$), others will be loaned again There is a low chance any of our bigger name loanees will come back to play for us Players like Gollini, Pessina, Carnessechi, and Gosens will not be here next year

Say you lose both Gundogan and Silva... is Kovacic really enough? I think he's a very good player and will bring a lot of the qualities you lose in those two (esp press-resistance), but it'll be really hard to find someone to replace Gundogans literal perfection in that L8 role (and Silva is also almost irreplaceable too, altho again, the press-resistance and security will still be there with Kovacic). Idk, it'll be interesting to see how City go about next season, because there could be a bit of a shift in players. Surely KDB gets a smaller role with each season (and Foden looks promising in that position btw), esp with that hamstring injury. I'm curious as to how Pep plays the team next season tho, because the balance you had with Gundogan, KDB, Rodri and Stones as the false CB was damn perfection. Barella would be an interesting choice and could pot be attainable. Other than that... it's tricky.

Bro I literally just made a squad with everyone you just mentioned (except Edwards) including Wirtz behind De Bruyne

Haters gonna Hate but we are witnessing one of the greatest teams in football history .

Well done Man City.. Really well deserved.. Lol I know this sounds sarcastic, but I really mean it I wish I had owners like you guys have

Congratulations on the treble! Well done lads!

He is what? 29? He isn't old he is in his prime lol. And he is playing in Serie A, a league who is pretty good with old players, he can have easily 4/5 good years in him, maybe more

Saying that Orsolini Is better than Berardi Is just mad

Very good, but instead of the least two we should go for another midfielder and Berardi would probably be cheaper.

Kimmich available for $60 mil 🤤

Nahh Bernardo starts. Mahrez is gonna let his man go 1 or 2 times and bernardo wont.

Lukaku at Juve is not possible. He is clearly not a Juve fan, plus our fans are not really fond of him. I have a slight hope that Vlahovic will stay next season for him to personally use it as an opportunity to grow and improve his game. Otherwise, don't be surprised if Kean ends up being a front man for us next season. I have not heard if we will definitively purchase Milik but I don't mind him staying. I think our focus in the mercato should be primarily the defense and a new CM to replace Rabiot.

Saw reports for højlund, don’t know if I believe it tho

Two big trophies left. Just hope we don’t bench our best players for the remaining league games. We need them match fit for the finals!!

The level of football y'all are playing....damn... Madrid can't contain anyone atm. Well deserved lead. Hopefully Madrid give City a game in the 2nd half to make this more interesting

You forgot Ugarte mate

First EA seriously?!! why the downgrade? just because he moved from Europe? Secondly for people wondering why he moved to Qatar. This guy is 29 years old playing for a relegating team in France. He waited for offers from mid table (at least) teams from any European team, which he never got. He waited till the end of the transfer window, but to no avail. So Instead of playing with a hopeless case team and going to 2nd division and it will be even harder to move then. He chose to secure himself financially. Again, players are humans like us, and they also have financial security as a priority just like us.

we need a bit more than that, but it's a good list. We need a backup LW, a backup RW and also a backup LB

Replace origi with Beto, Sell Saelemaekers(more mv), Get ricci as backup CM

laimer joining bayern but i like beto as an option at striker

Not bad and definitely realistic

I like it.

I think Sørloth will sign permanently in summer for around 15M. And no, we don't have the same rules as Athletic, we sign a lot of basque young prospects but not only them

I have a feeling Man City will come in to at least make a bid for him as their new left back in summer, if theyre replacing cancelo thyre gonna go big and this guy is the best realistic option, sorry to milan fans if that did happen lol, just my speculative prediction, and also hed probably go unfortunately...

Can't believe we've won I would have been happy with a draw at the Emirates before the game. Ruben Dias is the best defender in the league, De Bruyne needs only few moments to change the game, Bernardo at LB doesn't work at all and Ake is so crazy consistent and rock solid 💙

I would add Boey, Rosier and Traoré from Rennes as possible replacement for Gusto. Remove Fernando as CDM, his fbref is absolutely disastrous lmao. Otherwise, there's also Pathé Ciss and Grillitsch, but Skhiri is the better option imo. Zorgane is also an option. And i think we need a left-footed RW more than a ST, Sarr will be the substitute of Lacazette, with Barcola and Jeffinho on the LW and Cherki left alone on the RW spot. Someone like Lukebakio, who has been linked at the end of the transfer window.

Every player on loan (except N'Diaye and Da Silva maybe) You can sell Soumaré (he is actually loaned as well) + Boateng, Aouar, Dembélé and probably Thiago Mendes Our targets for the summer window will be a right back to replace Gusto (if Kumbedi don't replace him) → Lamptey, Spence and Kardsdopp have been linked A CDM → Shkiri, Fernando And maybe a new striker

Any former Lyon player lol. Also I would say that it's pretty standard for Lyon to buy solid Ligue 1 players with experience like Junya Ito, Van Den Boomen, Habib Diallo, Jonathan Bamba, Moses Simon. Also, young Ligue 1, Ligue 2 players like Chaïbi, Maxime Estève, Merlin, Ismaël Doukouré. But keep it real, players that are not that expensive right now, don't go for Nuno Mendes for example lol. The Belgian, Turkish and Portuguese leagues are good sources of talent too. Or maybe french players that are starting to decline. Also if you get in Champions League, you can maybe go for better players from the Portuguese league for example. It would be in line with how Lyon used to recruit in the past when we got Lucho González or Lisandro López, so maybe a Mehdi Taremi? I'd say the principal sources are: 1) Academy players 2) Not very known talents but with good potential 3) Solid Ligue 1 players (25-29 years) 4) Good players from foreign leagues (78-81 overall and only if you get in Champions League)

Primary focus on youth academy. Since it is a career mode, transfers in I'd do: 2 players that look promising, maybe will be bench, maybe you like them and start them, mid to low 80s potential, but are either in leagues that aren't the top 5 or you know fully well they won't evolve their potential warming the bench of a big team; 1 guy that is low 80s (maybe 78-80) that is ready to be a regular starter and won't naturally grow that much in OVR, though still in mid 20s. If you feel like, wonderkids with less than 70 OVR, low 80s potential, cheaper than 1M. Transfer out, essentially try to make some cash with bench warmers and constantly loan everybody with less than 70 OVR so they at least maintain potential and you may get more cash on those you don't plan to have. If you wanna a challenge or realism, when a player gets a very good season and his OVR/Potential skyrockets, you can maybe hold him for a bit more, but you will eventually sell them.

Tomori, Botman/Tapsoba Mudryk, Simons Sangare, Frattesi Kjaer, Ndicka/Tapsoba Giroud, Moukoko Tsygankov, Okafor

We were linked once with Simakan, and Loiodice/Caqueret are good names too. You could add: both Thuram, Maxime Lopez, Ajer, Lang, Olise, Amine Adli, Broja, Konè from Gladbach. We've been linked with all of them at least once (except Lopez I think) and they all should have scans and a pretty good rating in s2

Realistic transfers?

Alexis Mac Allister as 10, Leao left, Ziyech right

Tbh, in theory yeah 100+ for Leao but then again... Paqueta left for 20m... Hakan, Kessie, Giogio, and a bunch of others left on frees. We don't have the best history of dealing with players refusing to renew. Could've easily racked in 130MIL if any of the 3 mentioned were sold before their contracts expired.

If Bennacer is sold, the one that i see that has a nearly similar play style to him is Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina. If Leao is sold, it could Gakpo who could be signed, if you sell your best player, you need to bring someone that can provide the same quality. As for a RW... that's the tricky part, Nico Gonzalez sounds like a good choice and Fiorentina barely ever use him, another one could Hakim Ziyech who is eager to leave Chelsea.

I think we should be calm. I am leaning towards leao renewing with us but if he leaves I would be okay as we would get guaranteed funds unlike other 3 star players in the recent memory. I have a strong feeling that rafa would renew. I hope CDK can step up slightly before end of this season. It would be a huge boost. Forza milan

I think they're all realistic IF we cash in on Leao. My personal preference would be Kudus at RW and Sangare instead of Renato Sanches and I'm a huge Renato Sanches fan, but the guy is just biscuit boned at this point and Sangare can be our physical ball winning CDM; something that we have lacked ever since Kessie left.

For the First season i suggest u to sell Sansone, De Silvestri and Medel. The send Vignato, Amey and Kasius on loan and renew the contracts of Dominguez, Soriano and Orsolini (dont sell Arnautovic for any reason, he is a key player irl too). I heard that Bologna is interested in signing Josip Brekalo, Toni Lato and Szymon Zurkowski. In order to keep It more realistic, i also suggest u to sign at least a scandinavian player per season. Hope i helped you :)

Honestly Betis-Sevilla is the best derby in Spain

We tend not spend that much on transfers so avoid crazy fees. We typically do end of contract deals or some smaller scale investments. Aouar and Bellerin were linked in the summer but we couldn't afford their fees, they have contracts ending this season so they'd be smart pickups. Good luck :)
