    9th highest spenders in the Premier league. Never have any money to spend, though. It's so unfair :emoticon-0106-cryin

    The sad thing for me on yesterday is we've got to wait ten days to see the fruits of the clubs labours.
    That's a long time.

    Was a Bayern player who Union had on loan and had an active option to buy on.

    They’ve then exercised that to take a few from us end of season. He was a Union player for about 3 hours.

    Wasn't an option, they had a contractual obligation buy him. We now have the option to buy at the end of this loan

    Says was an option on the Bayern site, hence we’d already agreed to sign him and they stepped in. Either way we happy mate!

    This is his FIFA card. You may think means nowt, but they use the same database as major clubs use for scouting and will be a very similar system to the one SAFC are using in the background.

    An 82 potential overall is full top European international level.

    These databases are built from everything, physical stats, conversations with club re attitude etc. They are so in depth.

    I don't play FIFA but I hear ya.

    Always remember a top manager coming out and explaining that he always used Football manager or whatever it is called these days as a starting point when looking at/for potential new players.

    Between this and @Southern A 's footy manager stats we've got a better scouting team than under SD!

    Aye clubs have used these databases for years now, and there’s massive use on them online by gamers.

    They are crazy accurate, you see players you be picking up for pennies get a big move and you’re fuming cos you know you can’t buy them anymore <laugh>

    Tavares going to Arsenal really pissed me off, could buy him for 5million and sell him for £60m in 2 years.

    What's an average score for a typical 3rd division or championship player? Probs more than 66?

    What happened to a player called Arp? German, wonderkid, eventually **** hot on Fifa 19 (the last Fifa I bought). I was expecting him to be famous by now.

    These lads sound so motivated it is fantastic. Cracking English language skills as well.

    It has also just dawned on me that we will be unbeatable in a penalty shoot out now!
