I signed Baidoo on football manager

Him and Botman became an immense partnership for me.

What about Thiaw?

[tinostongue]

I think we need a left sided cb,Botman not reliable over a full season,and bob getting old.

What about Thiaw?

This was before we had Thiaw (FM 24) and I've not updated to with him.

He did sign for City though in game i signed Baidoo.

Has been on their bench generally.

Daniel Banjaqui - Benfica RB - Been linked. This one is more likely for the summer as the lad is 18 yrs old. https://www.transfermarkt.com/daniel...pieler/1134199

Shame Amorim is gone - I could honestly have seen Mainoo leaving old Trafford even with an option to buy!

Would have loved to have him here proving a point and looking to the summer too.

Anyways, that ship if there ever was one has sailed 🤷🏻*♂️

I can?t see a big move for us this window at all. Besides the amount of time it takes Eddie to integrate new signings in to the squad, might as well wait until summer 😆

Bournemouth's Alex Scott has been linked a few times.

I just don't understand this one.

Decent 22 yr old English midfielder but nothing outstanding about the lad.

He's no better than Ramsey and not a patch on Miley. We don't need another one midfield of that profile.

He's not a stand out player as a No.6 or a No.10. As an 8 he's steady but never, has a commentator or a punditry team picked up out as the game changer.

The profile needed is something different. A ball winning or a more flair player rather than a hard working box to box man.

what do you think?

Not one for Jan? Paqueta in summer 🤔

[HughieG]

Andreas Andersson, Shefki Kuqi, Leon Best, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Grant Hanley are all available on the cheap. Let's f*cking go.

[Ragatino]

It looks like Paqueta is going back to Brazil. He would certainly offer that more creative cutting edge that the team needs to unlock defences and would be a great addition to the team/squad.

The challenges around signing a player at his age are the usual. Wages, Bonuses, Agents fees for player aged 28.

With the comments from both Eddie and Ross Wilson being that the club's signing model is 18-24 players with great potential to become world class players. Lucas' profile just doesn't fit that model.

Allan from Palmeiras linked again
