I'm in favour of a squad cap myself but it's not feasible to introduce it after ten seasons - some lads have been building squads for years and waiting for youth purchases to pay off, some lads hoover up hundreds of youths in the hope that some of them will be the next superstar in the making, it wouldn't be fair to force guys to trim their squads all of a sudden

A squad cap is something that should either be introduced from Day 1 or disregarded I'm afraid

The thing with youth not counting is a good idea in theory but what happens if twenty youths go over 21 but they are all looking fairly decent? A manager shouldn't have to cast off some players just because they are a year older

Not often we agree but 100% this

Squad cap will come when SM decide or it won't. Gentlemen's agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on.

That's true sure welching on agreed transfers is even acceptable here so I can't see us being able to enforce a squad cap unless soccer manager bring it in as a feature

It been in other leagues from day 1 and has been ad heard too, but I have a lot of players with potential that no longer fit in the youth team bracket.

Sirigiu is up for sale if anybody needs him, has been for a while but nobody seems to want him.

I don't need straight cash so I've countered, see if that works or how we can do the proposed deal.

Jaysus what happened?

JamboMac · 23-01-2017 03:43PM

Nice quick deal Sirigu going to Boca and John Alberto Fernando Andres Luigi Olof Guidetti making the trip to paris where he can hopefully meet expectations.

The B teams cup run continued as we scrape past benficas second string 1-0 with a little help from our keeper getting a 10 rating.

Away to City in the semi final

That's what this forum needs. Name recogition software. Then we'd all have robot voices and I wouldn't have to figure out who the bloody hell is who half the time. Or whether they're from Cork.

So after 157 games, 2 promotions and an uncomfortable reliance on Ashley Young's goals, boca juniors manager doc holliday is packing his bags and heading to Italy for a new challenge with udinese. Sources close to boca star man corentin tolisso suggest that he is planning to follow holliday to udinese but neither Tolisso or holliday were available for comment

Good morning mr Andre Gomes!

De Vrij and Batshuayi are joining Roma as part of the deal with Sansone taking over as no2 FC at FCP.

Grand and quick to negotiate with The new Roma management!

1 nil win to start things off at roma!

Comic Book Guy · 26-01-2017 11:31PM

I'm actually delighted about this as he'd probably run rings around my aging centre backs! No doubt that you have someone else who's fresh out of nappies who can do the same thing though! :pac: :pac:

6 defeats in 7 games sees chelsea 1 place above the relegation zone.
