I don't know whether Espanyol have any good players, but if they do, now would be the time to approach them with heavily caveated, needlessly complex loan-to-buy deals that leave them worse off than when they started.

Monchi was great at selling a player, scouting a talented one and buying them not so much.

Guessand could be the first player to win 2 European trophies in the same season.

That's got to add at least a fiver to his saleable value this summer.

In the event of Emi Martinez’s departure, Aston Villa are targeting several goalkeepers including Robin Risser (21) & Guillaume Restes (21).

Never seen him play but Restes becomes the best keeper in the world on my save of Football Manager.

Neither do I but we might be able to get them cheaper if they go down, they’re among a number of teams in contention and haven’t won for 18 games I think. I’m aware your comment was not serious!

The amount that needs to be done this summer is pretty bloody daunting. We’ve done great in Europe, but it has been the definition of clinging on in the league.

Too right Paul, just totted up, since we lost 1-4 at Arsenal in December, some 18 games ago, we have amassed just 20 points in the league. By some miracle, we have only dropped two places from 3rd to 5th. Thank God for the Europa League. Desperately need some pace and quality. Scored 21 goals in that same period.
