Congrats on the deals.

Manchester United - Transfer News
  • Alejandro Gomez (18) - 70 rated centre back has arrived for £479k. The Mexican has played one game so far on loan at Boavista and was responsible for at least two of the three goals conceded. Joins Matheus Nascimento, Vinicius Junior and Josep Martinez in the "players who are impossible to search for on twitter due to the commonality of their name" stakes.
 
The shit thing about being in such a decent run presently is that I get the result semi-ruined each match before I can watch it. Even when I was 2:0 down after 24 minutes, I knew that I must have at least drawn the game due to the message:

Screenshot-2020-09-24-at-20-29-08.png


However, my game bugged out and one of the goals didn't show up (Eriksen scored at 54') so I nearly crapped myself.

Knew I'd drop points to Spurs though. Congrats on the title MG.
 
2:2 draw against the formidable Spurs. Standard conceding 100% shots on target.

Luka "Mexican Messi" Romero, inevitably this will be the kiss of death to his future career
 
Didnt you just look to transfer him out for other youth players?
No was thinking about swapping Fiete Arp for someone else. Not because i don’t believe in him, but just tired of his slow progress, have had him for 3 years now
 
Dias to City it seems like! Good move for him, should be an automatic starter there

My luck is horrific. Dias had been linked to City and Spurs, but had gone cold for months before our deal. Then City's deal for Koulibaly fails, they fail with a bid for Kounde and here we are. Congrats.

Yeah it's nice he's getting the move, but you probably still got the better end of the deal. VVD is best in the world, and Pogba is playing at championship-level right now
 
My options are:
Herculano Nabian (16/65)
Mohamed Ali Cho (16/70)
Bright Arrey-Mbi (17/70)
Malik Tillman (18/73)
Nathanaël Mbuku (18/77)
Marques Lazaro (18/73)
Noni Madueke (18/76)

Madueke is probably the obvious one as he's getting decent game time at PSV. I'll go with him.
 
2:1 victory away to Villa. Obviously both Van Dijk and Pogba were on the scoresheet. Good thing Dias wasn't involved.
