It's a life style thing with him, he doesn't like the English weather and wanted to move for years, he's won everything now so he might go for it and we get a good fee from them for him

Spain makes more sense. 

issue is when mbappe speaks he keeps saying there's no issue and he is happy. ha

another interesting summer

Potential players leaving:- Bernardo, Gundogan, Laporte, Mahrez, Cancelo, Gomez, Phillips  ...we could be in for a big summer

will be an interesting summer.

bernardo at least could get 75-80 million but not sure he would want to go to PSG now.

Call me crazy mate but I think you miss the captaincy of Vinnie K. I think without him you're now a typical Guardiola team of dainty flowers that look very pretty but wilt under pressure. 

You are always in with a chance and I'd have no issue at all seeing you guys win a CL but I just feel that you lack the grit and determination for me to suspect you'll be able to get over the line in a real tough two legger deep in the competition.

The issue is defensively is a worry against the top teams In Europe....madrid will be a huge test. get past them and to me only Liverpool will be a match-up to fear. Juve and Barca have their flaws as do PSG. 

Seems pogba might be next....just feels like mbappe will be next summer given what they have already spent.

if he finishes the year strong and does well in the world cup he will be worthy of over 100k a week

Fingers crossed for the silvas 

So much for FIFA 18 being more realistic this year

The Champions League is piss easy and I've run away with the league in my second season and it's only February (currently 17 points ahead of second place.....Southampton) United are fucking rubish, City are wank, and Arsenal are my closest rival yet they sit 4th, nearly 25 points away from me. 

I know in FUT they have an 'Ultimate' Difficulty level, they should have it for Career mode as this isn't a challenge at all. Think the only thing that can make it a challenge is win all 4 trophies in a season, or go unbeaten. 

Get this, I win the league and Champions league my first season, already won the league come february in my second season and pissing through the Champions league, and my manager rating is still only 81 

You play every game then?

I thought this year they were suppose to make it realistic where the top teams would be great and kill the small teams.

PSG should be more fresh than anybody which will give them an advantage.

glad to see Delph in there..well deserved

It's the culture you are developing there, encouraging players to play the same way from senior to youth level. Yes, you may cherry pick some of the better pool of youngsters from others but you're developing that talent further in your set up, it's to be admired. I wouldn't usually watch this level of football to be honest but I'm hooked. That was quality.

Yeah I think sometimes it's easy to not notice the way teams do in the academy but I think it shows how well developed these youngsters are doing. Future is certainly bright I hope.

Just got up after my night shift and flicked on BT Sport for a bit. City's kids playing away to Napoli's kids.

No joke, some of the best football you'll see at that level. Even better than some senior games, not over reacting.

City 5-0 up at HT. It is a joy to watch.

Bet Jose would park the bus even against our youth team

A matter of time or a matter of unlimited spending?

which does take time when adjusting new pieces in a system.

Well he was the overall second top scorer for Real Madrid last season after Cristiano Ronaldo.  He continued to be treated like a youth player getting minutes when Zidane thought something needed to be changed.

Infact a lot can be read into a spat both Lineker and Zidane have had over the past week.

Don't know about you but I personally would of choose morata over benzema without question. I know he does other things and he can hold the ball up well but think he would of been the better option going forward

Just now, SirBalon said:

That's the general consensus from every single Madrid based sports journalist.  They say that he is the one who's missed the most and they're placing a big part of the blame on Zidane and some elections he's made.

You only have to look at the amount of late goals he gave them last year. To me it was the difference from winning the title to not. think he had 2nd most goals for them after Ronaldo?

Morata certainly seems badly missed so far for Madrid 

still not bought fifa 18 but will soon. Looking forward to trying out the new journey mode.

Yep, a good keeper like Ederson will win you a good amount of games a season's like he did yesterday with his penalty save

Without a doubt, he's still very young too so plenty of room to develop as well. exciting times

Thanks mate, long way to go and a few injury's could change everything like they did last season   ..looks like we have a good keeper this year though, Bravo was a shambles last season with one of the worse shot to save ratio's in Europe 

Yeah amazing what a good keeper can do.

He looks off the pace and slow compared to a few years ago

Jones Englands best defender? Oh Gareth. Oh dear. 

Don't think it isn't a unreasonable statement.
