We can't sell 50% of a player abroad, right?

Anyway.. i like 4-2-3-1... and 4-3-3.. but i don't think we'll buy Hummels, Sanchez, Nani, Berardi and lulic... let alone one of verratti/guarin :lol:

That dude is a serious FM youth scouter, I play the game like that too. But it doesn't often work that well in real life. We can't put several young players into our team at a time, it doesn't work.
I've never played that game in my life. How doesn't it work? How come it works for other teams? Bayern(thiago, kroos, and alaba), dortmund, united in the mid 90's had kid central there. Its not about the age of the players, but how good they are. Are you seriously trying to tell me pogba still counts as a kid when he plays? No one is saying turn our club into arsenal, but invest in youth that we can develop with the guidance of some of our stalwarts. We still have tevez, vidal, chiellini, barzagli, litchtsteiner, and buffon who are auto starters so why would we need older players?

I'm quite aware how young players grow, they are all young once, after all. I just notice how most of your transfer endorsements are players until 23, which isn't going to work well in one go. These aren't even super talents you are talking about, like Pogba.

I've always advocated getting young players in areas that are needed, but some of your choices come across as something a FM player or football hipster would choose. There is always a balance between lesser tried and trusted and super potential with higher risk, I don't think we are too far off with our model (Vidal, Caceres, Asamoah, Isla, Ogbonna - all 24, Pogba 19, plus all the young players we have invested a lot in - Berardi, Zaza, Gabbiadini, Leali, Masi, Rugani).

It's harder to find space for young players in a team as strong as ours, without finding great talents like Pogba, and it is absolutely of no use to them to play 15 minute cameos and 5 starts. Players need to leave and play, imagine how much Immobile would have played for us this season.

Screw it, let's forget 4-3-3, forget Sanchez and bring back Immobile, Gabbiadini and Berardi. Because i'm confident that the only thing we're missing to reach the CL semis on a regular basis is a 3rd, 4th and 5th choice striker waiting on the bench.

Fuck the hypocrites over in Fiorentina. They don't want to pay Udinese the 10m for Udinese's half because they think its too much yet they would ask for 35m from Barcelona if they came knocking this summer. We should test Fiorentina's valuation theory, let's buy Udinese's half out and then offer Fiorentina the 10m they think 50% of his contract is worth. Bet they would tell us that isn't enough.

Hypocrites.
