Yep. I think it happened over the summer for some reasons.
I’m forever in hope of another VDV moment!

Could be Mariano Diaz if we are snooping around:
Mariano Díaz - Player profile
Mariano Díaz is a 31-year old football player aus Dominican Republic, (* Aug 1, 1993 in Premià de Mar, Spain). Díaz is Jul 1, 2024 without a club since. He plays in the position Centre-Forward. His market value is €1.50m.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
Linked with him before and the bloke ain't getting minutes this season.
Diaz scored 19 goals in 37 appearances for Lyon 18 months ago, alongside Depay and Fekir, so a very talented forward trio.
But we could replicate that kind of forward talent with our clutch of AM's.
Only question is whether Madrid would let him go - .sold him to Lyon cheap but keeping a 35% economic interest before buying back the other 65% for about £20m 18 months ago.
On this board? You'll have to do better.
If you don't fancy the Cuntbag Derby tonight you can watch Willian Jose in the Copa del Rey tonight vs Espanyol.
Also playing are Mikel Merino and Diego Llorente who a couple of us soccer hipsters were discussing earlier
Yes. I loaded up fm20 earlier. Seems Sociedad has some up and commers
BTW (and as its a quiet day) a poster was disputing the amount of control over transfers that Poch has had at Spurs, so thought I'd post this, an article written a few months before Summer 2018.
Pochettino has vetoed Tottenham Hotspurs’ proposal to appoint a new sporting director with the manager eager to retain a significant influence over transfers. The club are understood to have assembled a shortlist of potential candidates to replace the former head of recruitment, Paul Mitchell, but have abandoned the process after talks between Pochettino and Daniel Levy, the chairman. Many of Mitchell’s functions have been taken by the chief scout Steve Hitchen, who reports to the club’s football committee of Pochettino, Levy and the academy manager John McDermott. Tottenham’s willingness to bow to Pochettino’s wishes will increase their chances of keeping hold of the in-demand Argentinian amid interest from Real Madrid.

You're going to have to narrow it down a bit because we could give you 20+ names"High wage" + "injury prone"..... Oh hell yeah!!!
Once they pull out their Bale-card you know their imagination/ITK has dried up.
February 1st will be as follows:
"Deal was vrry complicated, Bael was keen but Levy didn't budge on numbers. Watch this place in the upcoming summer
"
Bale would be pants-on-head silly, and doesn't even address the striker problem.
Nothing to do with insider knowledge. Everything to do with volumes of betting.
Hahaha, I'd forgotten about Paul Mitchell and his top secret scouting machine

I purposely put some spelling errors in just to make it extra authentic SC style
*sigh* time to dust this one off...

There's a mid-table team on 31 points that need his help.....

How much money can they actually get from donations - just enough to keep the forum up and running surely? Or maybe Levy is A&C and that’s where our transfer kitty comes from?
