The FM/CM thing was tongue in cheek, but if there is an underlying issue with his ACL, meniscus or issues such as bursitis or arthritis which could be career damaging or mean he could miss a lot of matches because the knee need «a break». I am all for postponing and it makes sense with pay as you play. Then we at least will be neck-to-neck and he will have to take responsibility to do his utmost to stay fit and not provoke any further problems

I do assume it's bullshit, as it doesn't add up with previous reports. Allegedly Arsenal had already had a 1 mill bid turned down, quite widely reported. Why would they then turn their attention to a kid costing 200k, presumably not outbid Liverpool's 200k for him despite having been willing to spend a mill on a youngster with that sort of profile, and then turn their attention back to the kid who will cost upwards of 1 mill?

nothing would surprise me when it comes to this lot running the show😆

Not long to go until that sentence will have Rovers at the beginning of it.

I know that you will have just got this wording from here, so this is not a critique of you. But he had no value set for injury proneness in the last game, so his "injury proneness" would have been randomly assigned a value at the start of each any every save

So nothing at all like when they agreed terms with the clubs and players, got them in the building, signed contracts, did promo, released promo etc then either submitted the paperwork late or 'forgot' to press send? Not for the first time in the last 15 years has a player that is deemed not fit to play for this club gone on to immediately play for another. Not sure why people calling out repeat behaviour are labelled 'conspiracy theorists' in a derogatory fashion when we've seen the same thing happen time and time again. Funny how many of the conspiracy theories have turned out to be correct over the years.

I'm not convinced they have been scouting players in relegated Belgian clubs either. Feed your requirements into championship manager and bobs your uncle.

Another Premier League side stands in the way of BRFCS in the R16 match…a side in claret & blue…no, not them…can the mighty blues reach the QF?

now we know,our highly professional recruitment dept are checking players out on the pc!!!!!!!!!!!that where the injury issue was picked up!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell whether you're being serious with that post.

Sutton was an important factor. He was the missing piece. He and Shearer scored 50 goals between them in 94-95. Prior to him any of Shearer's strike partners together barely mustered double figures in league goals. In 93-94 if Shearer had a more prolific strike partner Rovers would have won the league then too.

This obviously isn't the case here though as we're allegedly trying to get him on reduced terms. I have to say it all sounds a bit smoke and mirrors like to me to create the illusion we're doing something. If Im wrong and we end up signing him, fair play.

Is Moussa Baradji injury prone in FM2024/25? Yes, Moussa Baradji is quite injury prone in Football Manager 2024/25. It is likely he will get a few injuries, take this into consideration when thinking about signing him

Some years ago Wesley failed his medical for a loan move back to Club Brugge. Apparently it was because his ACL was too badly damaged despite being out for over a year. A failed medical often means the club can't get insurance for the player One of the most famous ones: June 2018, Liverpool negotiated with Lyon for the transfer of Fekir, offering a maximum €60 million. Fekir even agreed personal terms, before the transfer collapsed due to a knee issue that appeared during the medical.

To really commit to accelerating Tyjon's rise into the first team, I feel like he really needs to commit to a new contract to warrant that.

I know some believe there's some sort of conspiracies going on with transfers but... Agree a price with the club, presumably, to get permission to discuss terms. Agree terms, or close enough, and incur the cost of flying him and his representative(s) over, and accomodation. Carry out the medical, just to apparently make up a reason not to sign him. And it's not a world beater, it's a guy 99% of Blackburn fans had never heard of, before we were linked to him. Makes no sense. People claiming the medical issue is fabricated - a player just went through an international tournament playing every game with a fractured tibia. There's ways to manage pain, or it may not even cause it, but it doesn't mean the issue isn't there.

nectarios triantis,who we were linked with with earlier in the window has confirmed he won`t be going back to hibs and will return to sunderland,good player this lad,was excellent in hibs unbeaten run last season,apparently sunderland will listen to offers,us and portsmouth interested,we really should be getting busy on this one,he`s a very good player,which sadly,we don`t seem to want them here😰

On Hackney various reports are suggesting that the initial fee is £15 million which could rise to £20 million so its a lower fee than Adam Wharton if that is the case

What millions have Sunderland or Boro received for players similar to Tyjon who have barely played any competitive minutes for the 1st team?

Morecambe stop all first team football operations due lack of insurance

Bullshit I assume - but how can Boro / Sunderland consistently get tens of millions for their talent and we can't? B

This signing was never happening. The same old tired distraction tactics used year after year. Honestly don't know how folk can't see straight through it after 15 years.

Ribble Valley, that. Clitheroe FC’s patch.

There's a 5 a side team from Mellor that play on Wednesday nights. Best not encroach on their territory.

he`s obviously not injured as he played 70 minutes on sunday,so i only only assume,with considerable experience of how venkys go about their football business,that we won`t pay what yverdon want,so try to save face and paint him as injured,appease the fans and all that
