Maybe half of the players from weaker leagues make an impact when they come to the Prem. Kouyaté is reliable money-in-the-bank and a great signing IMO.

With the squad and money tight, we don't need more punts on Sorloths, Jachs and Rakips. For every Luka that pans out well, there is a José Campaña that wastes a squad space.

sorry but you didn't QUITE. I want a player who has been transferred into a PL club. I can't see that any of them have.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Jeeze, if you don’t want to listen to Matteo’s recommendations then don’t. If you do then do. Personally, I switch off at Matteo’s lists, but I can see that other people enjoy looking at them. I don’t think Matteo cares, and not do I.

He recommended Yashimori Moto, so let’s see how that goes.

i love it how when people post on this board who have more knowledge than others they get put down & called out my jealous posters who wish they had the knowledge / contacts others have.

its utterly pathetic

there used to be a poster called piper who had inside knowledge years ago & he got hounded off the board by idiots.

keep up the good work matteo, most of us appreciate your insight

Surely that’s the point. You had no way of knowing this either way, yet you pronounced he wouldn’t come as though it were fact.

I will give you credit as you don’t claim to be an ITK and you do seem to know a lot about central and east European players, which is fair enough given you live in Romania. When you claim x player would only cost y amount, and would want a wages, however, and treat your claims as fact that is a bit silly. Unless you work for the player or club concerned, you have no way of knowing for certain what they will cost, what wages they are on or want, nor whether they are even available, let alone for the amounts you cite.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, that is why people challenge you and keep pushing back. If you could provide actual evidence rather than opinion pushed as fact I think most people would give you an easier time. Or, if you were more open to the fact that you are spouting your opinion that might help too.

Clearly, a lot of people read your posts so I would not say you should stop posting but it might behoove you to accept you are posting an opinion.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

How would you know who has more knowledge and what contacts people have??

If Matteo claims to have knowledge and contacts then it's subjective and open to debate isn't it??

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
