In countries like Ireland that is pretty much how it works, yeah.

I used to do that for FIFA... Not worth the time and effort. Besides, they wouldn't believe me that Jason Byrne's overall acceleration is 90....

Its the same in all countries just different levels of people filling in the numbers.

Cherno Samba.....for instance.

Jean Paul Boetius off to Basel for €2,5 million.
Not long ago he wanted to sign a contract extension at Feyenoord, changed agents and all of a sudden wasnt interested anymore.
Same thing with Tonny Vilhena who will see out his contract at Feyenoord. Decided to stay at Feyenoord this season because his mom is sick. Guess at the end of the coming season he ll have no problem moving abroad on a free despite that.

Both were at the club from age 7 and will basically bring in the square root of **** all in transfer fees.

The Guardian among others reporting that Sunderland will sign M'Vila and Leroy Fer now, so it appears to be more than idle speculation anyway. M'Vila reported to be permanent (no fee mentioned) though others are saying a loan, Fer definitely a loan.

No idea how M'Vila will turn out as his career seems to have gone down quicker than Katie Price over the last few years. It's disappointing Fer is only a loan but he's much better than us anyway so to even get him for the year is a coup. Hopefully we don't get gazumped by another club before the deal is done.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/02/yann-mvila-leroy-fer-sunderland-midfield

Desperately need a striker still however and as good as Fer is, I don't think he's the real creative force we need centrally so I assume Advocaat might change system to get the best out of what we have.

That he won't be playing at all this season with any luck. It's the equivalent of playing with 10 men when he's on the field.

The Guardian is no longer any more credible than any of the tabloids. I remember a couple of years ago they built up a transfer announcement for days and it turned out to be a made up story below of Bale going to Inter

Is that from CM4 yeah?

Well things have moved on a bit and they have improved quite a lot.

Besides the actual future growth of a player is ultimately hard to know without precognition, theres no way to know whether or not Divock Origi or Andreas Pereira or Hector Bellerin will end up becoming a broken mess like Diaby did. Or if James Wilson or Jordan Ibe or Dominic Solanke wont suddenly do a Harry Kane and get 20+ goals next year. Hindsight is great but at the time the game is released is the best to judge future developments are obviously unpredictable.

Paully D · 03-08-2015 02:56PM

L'Equipe reporting that M'Vila joins Sunderland today on a free transfer, 1 year deal.

Wickham to Palace for 12.5m is the latest reports

Rafael Da Silva has agreed a four-year deal with Lyon. The fee is currently unclear. Could be as low as £2.1M. If his fitness holds you'll go some way to beat that for bargain of the window, but really there are huge questions about his fitness.

Wickham is a good player. A less talented Heskey but will do a great job for the right team. It is very easy to slag those types of players off of course.

I'm baulking at the price and it's widespread this summer with most clubs paying mega money for players

To Maderia was a great example of that. One of Championship Managers greatest ever strikers wasn't even a real player, but the CM scouts holiday plans

It is the price that Premier League deals are going at these days. Sunderland are massively wealthy and have a new TV rights deal on the horizon which will dwarf what they earn today. Wickham may be a £5m player (pulling a number out of the air) but £5m is small change to Sunderland.

£20-£25m is probably the going rate for any first team player at any Premier League club now. Any less than that and there's very little incentive for them to sell.

Felipe Luis on the way out so I'd imagine unless they are sending Rahman back on loan for a year.

Pablo Osvaldo signed for Porto.

Oh dear, could get interesting with Bruno Martins Indi on the training ground.

Wasn't aware of that.

It'll be interesting to see who starts now. This kid is pretty good, seen a few Augsburg games last year and he looked top notch in all of them.

Paully D · 05-08-2015 12:09PM

Sunderland hoping to get a £2m loan deal for Leroy Fer done today, no idea if there's a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season as some reports say yes and others say no.

M'Vila seems like it will be done soon too, meanwhile various places are reporting that Sunderland are trying to get Januzaj on loan for the season too.

inforfun · 05-08-2015 12:12PM

Well, that is Sunderland going down then.
Fer went down with Norwich and QPR since he arrived in England

Ivanovic is pushing on, Cahill is nealry 30 and JT wont be here forever, the defence needed to be addressed so hopefully bringing in Rahman brings some much needed balance and long term solution.

Azp is a fine FB but hes wasted at LB, the dream last year was Azp at RB and Luis at LB but Ivan had a strong season so RB was sown up all year.

If we get Stones too we'd have a potential back 5 to pick from that are 25 years old are below.

Courtois
Azp Stones Zouma Rahman

All ifs and buts until deals are announced but its a good platform for the club for the medium term to have those options.

We're certainly in for a long season! What's your opinion of Fer mate?

Always liked him from the moment he made his debut for Feyenoord when he was 17. Was compared to Rijkaard and was not difficult to see why.
Can play basically everywhere in midfield and if needed in central defense as well
If he hadnt been injured so much i think he would be at a much bigger club now because he has the same kind of qualities as Pogba.

It is very important for him to get a full season under his belt this year and then this loan spell could be very beneficial for both him ans well as for Sunderland.

When they left Feyenoord at the same time, i expected Fer to do better than Wijnaldum but he just cant stay away from injury trouble it seems

pmasterson95 · 05-08-2015 12:32PM

Caulker is in the same boat as Fer, Cardiff and QPR relegated.
