Our defence could certainly do with a leader and organiser. Ruben Dias would be better than anyone I could've expected. Honestly I didn't see us getting Doherty or Bale, so I can't even say I doubt this will happen. What a fucking window.

Dias would be absolutely incredible. We very obviously need a top CB who can come straight in to partner Sanchez. Yes, Sanchez.

Previous reports from Benfica suggest the club is struggling in the short term financially....Daniel on the pounce per ITK...if we can stump more cash upfront (by selling Rose, Foyth, CCV) you'd imagine Jose would be all in for Dias. Helps that himself and Dier speak the language too.

Hercules consistent that the Kim deal is extremely challenging financially.....

(Wrong thread.....QB midfielder less than 12 mos....Gigi Wjinaldum ?)

Look at the Alex Morgan signing for the clue. Marketing boom. I’d guess either naming rights with a US based company or possibly a US based investor buying in?

But Morgan's only here for a few months (unless things change). I can't see a multi year deal being signed on the basis of a three month loan. And if there is a deal in place wouldn't they want it announced asap so they can get publicity from the new signings?

She’s at Spurs until the end of the season.

I didn't realize it had changed. It was reported as being a short term deal initially and the podcasts I listen to all said it was only until the end of the year.

Yeah when the Athletic’s American soccer journalists reported it, they said it was for 3 months. But Spurs’ announcement said its to the end of the season. The NWSL is in it a bit though thanks to the pandemic so i think theres a chance players like Press, Lavelle, Heath, Morgan, Zadorsky, Kennedy, etc could all be in England for longer.

This is getting me a different kind of excited than Ruben Dias - can we keep Alex Morgan in the Alex Morgan chat?

I can always tell how good a player is on FM based off the initial excitement level on SC when we are linked to a player.

Dias is a freaking monster on FM. If we landed him we would undoubtedly be unstoppable on this years version of the game.
He'd receive an immediate downgrade in stats as soon as we signed him.

TBH I’m not sure who our best CB is atm, they all have a mistake in them. We definitely need a top CB to come in and partner one of them and hope we can have a VVD effect
