Would you be happy if we signed the following in the summer?

Is it because of FIFA why so many seem to know so much about these foreign players I've never heard of?

Please tell me their numerous player recommendations aren't coming from a fuckin arcade game?

There may be the odd one or two who spend hours a day of their lives watching every game and studying training videos but I’d guess they are few and far between with the majority going straight to cheat mode! Haha!

 

[Dribble]

Football Manager more likely.

Seriously? How can people recommend players without watching them live across several games?

 

[Kamaro011]

It's fine learning players from video games, there's nothing wrong with that.

But when some people acting like they know shit thinking they are better than a real football manager using their knowledge only from video game they played. You know you will be dealing with very "special" people.

FFS! You've just made me lose faith in Bluemoon's transfer forum! Loool :-)

Here's me thinking recommendations based on YouTube videos was bad enough, now players are being recommended from cartoon video games!

 

[Lowtower]

Cool, I'll play

Hows about:

Vini Jnr
Odegaard
Alphonso Davies

All you need to do is offer £0 , £1200 in installments (6 x £200) and 2.5mil after 50 games - every offer will be accepted!

Or you could just start as manager and sell them for free

Toni Kroos

Gray is a decent shout and could be a good deputy for Rodri. Would prefer Joao Neves though

PSG would never sell Zaire-Emery, easily a top 5 U21 midfielder in the world and he’s a local homegrown kid. Kroos is about 50yo, no chance

Football hipster alert!

Warren Zaïre-Emery is a super talent who I think could be immediately useful, but signing young fullbacks feels a bit pointless based on our recent past, no matter how talented they may be. I'd like to see us give Kabore or Yan Couto a shot.

It takes a lot to get into City's team at 18, 19, 20, etc. and unless you're a top 3-5 player in the world in that age range (like Zaire-Emery), more than likely they're not going to make a difference or be signed as an investment piece more than an actual player.
