We are getting better slowly it's true. I don't see a squad or manager capable of finishing higher than third though. But Sancho, Kanté and a top CD would have a big job changing that to be fair.

Preparing flight tracker very soon
Loved him in Dawsons Creek
Bring back Boss.
Will be nice having Donny with Bruno and Poggy instead of Matic against busparking teams.
He didn’t get banned. He just left I think. He’s leaving thread was amazing. But yeah, would be good to have him back.
Attack the space!
The fact it was a reply to such an innocuous post should give it away.
You never know these days. An awful lot of cumstains circumvent the forums these days. Can never be too safe!
that was bloody awesome. I thought he had a point. Though I wasn’t sure about articulation myself. The fact that Attack the space still a meme on the caf is legendary.
It was a legendary thread
I don't know anything either, but from what I've read today, he's an all action midfielder who can adapt his game to be offensive or defensive. If this is correct, he will certainly bring another option for us. We have Matic, McTominay and Fred to rotate, so the competition will be fierce. A number of clubs were interested, including Real Madrid, which is encouraging. Let's hope circa 40 million proves a bargain.
He kept trying to delete it as well. Awk I felt sorry for him. It was a bit of a pile on at the end but my lord it was hilarious at the same time.It was a legendary thread
Ah so probably there to replace the aging matic? With the flexibility to move further up top incase of injuries / tactical changes. Sounds good.
Van de Beek will no doubt be a wall in front of our defence.
Both in the North and the South of the UK.

Someone made an animation of that efight between Baz and Solvista, I cant find it, could someone send me a link if they know what I’m talking about? It was absolutely hilarious.
I think he might be more versatile than Matic, from what I read, but I suppose only time will tell.
We'll see what the plans are for him but on the face of it I can't see why if we're looking at Ajax players we didnt use this money on Lisandro Martinez. He's A) Played DM this season for Ajax B) Was considered a CB before he moved there, so he can play either position and played 11 games at CB for Ajax too C) He's left footed. He could either have partnered Maguire at CB and filled Rojo's role as the left footed option or taken over from Matic in midfield. Its hard to see why DVB, who at times played right next to him is chosen instead when we have players who do similar things already. But heres hoping he hits the ground running like Bruno anyway
Well then.

PELANTY!!11oneone1!
Been very impressed by him the little I have seen him play. I'm genuinely baffled by the "he's not a starter/where is he going to play? " comments. The most glaring issue with that squad is depth, and he is a massive improvement in that regard. Obviously more is needed to challenge but I have a strong feeling this will go down as a very good signing.
"Penalties won" is the first stat our scouting department looks at.
Glorious
The animation of that one killed me
Think Boss brought a-lot on himself tbh, but he was a decent lad all the same. He just had his ways about him. Once I got used to him, I learned to appreciate him. Pity he left.
For me the question I am asking myself is, is he an upgrade on Lingard, Pereira, Fred and McTominay? Based on what I have seen the answer is yes. Remember we played 61 games last season and you cannot do that with just 11 first team starters. We had Fred, McTominay, Pereira in midfield when we lost away to Bournemouth lat season.
Do you know which thread that was? I can’t find it. I want a good laugh before I hit the hay.
Imagine if he signed at the beginning of the season and was burnt out by January? All conjecture unless it's a known quantity.
Beginning of the season we had Fred mctominay matic pogba lingard perriera, well stocked. Didn't say it was all quality in that midfield selection but during the previous season these midfield players got ole the job due to the unbeaten run at the beginning of his tenure. He showed faith in them and it didn't pan out the way it should have.
I can’t remember, surely it’s in the classics?
Yeah I was a newbie back then.. and didn’t post or read the caf as much as I do now but I remember that thread well.
Might as well sign all our players in January then.
Is it in fun with animation?
I’ll try that.
It is! Just found it.
