[Duncanmckenzie]

Were you more of a fan of the real Duncan McKenzie when he played for Leeds or Everton?

Could go either way for me

Leeds legend

[Kennyb41]

40 fags a day jumping over Mini's, then home tert nymphomaniac wife, can't beat it.

[1964white]

Are you asking me who i would have bought if i was the manager?

Yes please.

[Duncanmckenzie]

Yes please.

I would av got rid of most of the squad losers the lot of em, generated alot of money. Then i would av got in Billing Elneny Barkley all free. Then offered £22 million and Bamford for Brereton Diaz. Maatsen from Chelsea Nat Philips all premier league players. Got the best youngsters we av in monteiro cresswell etc. Then in January bought 3 more in prep for a glorious return to the premier league when we’re 15 points clear

Philip Billing wouldn't leave Bournemouth for us.

Ross Barkley has joined a Premier League team and hasn't done anything of note for years.

Elneny why would Arsenal let him go for nothing?

Offered £22mil and Bamford for Brereton-Diaz who was a free agent and signed for La Liga side Villarreal? Why would you do that? And offer £22mil to who?

Maatsen would cost £31mil (that's what Burnley agreed today) and Mastsen still isnt keen, he would've told us no immediately.

Nat Phillips has played less Championship minutes than Charlie Cresswell and less Premier league minutes than Tyler Roberts.

Not sure your targets are better mate (or realistic)

I used to sign mads Jorgensen when I was playing championship manager, put him at the top of a diamond formation he scored between 50 and 60 goals a season, that was near on 30 years ago though, I often wonder if Mads is still around

Barkley

Always injured, never been a success anywhere apart from his early years at Everton. Now 30yo, his career is certainly on the downgrade. I have Ampadu & Gray above RB in my squad any day.

Rodon will develop into a better CB than Phillips.

Barkley wasnt given a chance at Chelsea but when he played it was v good and he would have been free. Bournemouth are overloaded with centre mids they wanted Adams so swap and cash he Leeds are bigger than Bournemouth. Elneny is a top player wasted at Arsenal never plays so why wouldnt he?

Billing wouldn't come to us in a million years, he is a key player for them.

How many premier league games have they played between them? Ross Barkley played a full season in France would av been free anyway now he still playing prem w Luton

Used to play for huddersfield he knows full well how big we are. I would have tested there resolve to get Adams after all he maybe would av figured he might not play.

Bournemouth are about to take our best player.

Took our right back when he was having his medical.

Took Tyler Adams who you can bet the 49ers tried very hard to keep for marketing purposes.

Bournemouth as things stand take our players not the other way round.

We don't need past their sell-by-date Premier League players.

Barkley has played about 100 games in the last five seasons, he wouldn't be able to cope with the rigours of a 46 games schedule in the championship. Let's see how long he lasts at Luton before he does an Adam Forshaw.

[Duncanmckenzie]

Somethings wrong when our players are taken by Bournemouth no disrespect. What I’m really saying is I would have enployed a strategy of buying prem league players combined w giving the youngsters a chance. If you look hard enough they can be found. Instead we got cast offs from God knows where. This is what Orta did bought players would never played prem they were caught out.

Like i said wasnt given a chance at Chelsea. You think gray ampadu gruev and kamara are better? How much did they cost combined? Barkley would have been free

[The Subhuman]

Sorry stumbled on the Football Manager fantasy thread, as you were

Barkley was good at Everton wasn't he? Good player, at the time, but always seemed like a prick, typical gobby scouser. Came to us, you may not have remembered, and thought he was bigger than the club. Just another talented player that was too full of themselves and never hit the heights that they could have done.

Very good footballer but one that needs the right system.. Chelsea and Villa couldn't utilize him, didn't fit in our team. No clue how he did at Nice

[Phild]

No coincidence that only Bournemouth interested in our so called best 2 players.
Are they really that good then.
We will see

[Phild]

Better window than the last 2 and we are in a lower division
We all wish for more but not sure any better squad in this division than ours
Including manager in squad.
To lose only 1 or perhaps 2 players we would have liked to have kept is a success for me.
