Crazy

I can see us front runners on the Sunderland player who had impressed for Hibs. Us and Pompey linked, surely we are above Pompey? 😅

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

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.

Leif Davies unused sub for Ipswich tonight. Wonder where he is off too.

He is good at holding the ball up, getting free kicks and playing in others. He has looked fitter in pre-season, but doesent have the workload needed. Could work interim as a 30-45 minute cameo.

Tyjon, Cantwell can play there as can probably AK. Our squad is quite versatile.

No, but are there really many teams out there who won’t suffer if their two most important players gets injured? And I might be happy with Tavares, just don’t know enough yet.

Every signing is a gamble

Where is this from?

For me 3 is enough. Of course it depends a bit what these 3 signings are.

Think that was the case. Something underlying which could mean injury in the future. Quite risky to transfer in someone you know can become more on the injury table than the pitch.

https://saintsmarching.com/saints-striker-dismissed-winter-move-but-must-seal-same-opportunity-now were we sniffing about getting Diaz on loan in January? Bali Mumba: Shirt changed from 2 to 1 1. Although this does not explicitly confirm Mumba’s transfer future, it all but confirms that the 23-year-old full-back will remain at Argyle for the upcoming season Apparently he is high up the list on replacements if Brittain goes.

How bad is Liverpool when Morton is starting for them?

You don’t want to be reliant, but you can’t fill your squad with loanees and old players just in case. its a risk and you never know if they really are up to it unless given a chance. How many times hasnt players really found there place and stood out because of injuries on the first XI.

To repeat what I wrote a couple of years ago. I would rather that we didn’t make many more signings which can block our talents from playing time. we need some additions, but fill up the squad with loanees such as Morton, ACD and Hirst instead of playing our own players is in my opinion the wrong decision. especially when it comes to young Tyjon I think it is instrumental that we show him a pathway to a lot of gametime. This will be important for him to sign a new contract

De Neve has already scored in pre season, against Beck.

On the striker issue; I think VI said that we need more players chipping in with goals. So far in preseason we got goals from Gueye, De Neve, Ohashi x 2, Cantwell, Tyjon and AK. I don’t think we will sign a new striker or are on the look out for one. However no playing time for Leonard. A couple of injuries and we would be in big trouble.

Don’t forget Forshaw? But has he been injured? Not played much and looks behind Montgomery in the pecking order

Wonder when Tavares is ready, hard to say we need another CM when we haven’t seen our signing yet.

Lovely away support! Lots of fun banter (songs), Venky’s out, Senegalese flag in the crowd when Gueye scored and a great day. Very pleased to meet some nice people who are always welcoming and polite to a Scandinavian supporter 🙂

Thanks. Driving from Torrevieja. Will probably be there 30 mins before kick-off. Living in Norway this is my first game in 11 years! I am stoked!

To those who went to the first match. Is the parking close to the ground?

In Elche?
