The only thing that surprised me is that it’s taken so long for a lazy journo to make it up 🤣🤣

Interesting, I wonder who our guy in Argentina is. Carlos Alcarez also came out of nowhere. Wiki says he joined his current club when he was three!

I watched a video. He reminds me of Edozie somehow...quick, tricky, no end product. But then the quality of the video isn't great so I'm making a lot of assumptions on which one is actually him 😂

You could easily make one like that for Sekou Mara.

Signed Jeronimo Domina in Football Manager after I got us promoted from the Championship (an unbeaten season no less!). Scouts identified him as a wonderkid, but he ended up really just being a pacy trickster, with not much output in goals or assists.
FMs pre-game network of scouts tends to be pretty good, although having just won the Champions League in 2027 with Bazunu and Edozie in the team I guess thats not so credible a claim...

Rumours of James Ward-Prowse open to a move back to Saints.
I assume this is just clickbait, but would we really want JWP rather than Downes??

I think there's a sporting chance that their new manager wont fancy him. They want to bring in as many as 8 players this summer, so they have to be interested in outs for Downes and him. If they want to offload JWP but not Downes, we're in a tricky position. They'll want to recoup the fee and he'll want his old six figure weekly wage - cant see that as viable. I'd imagine Russ would want him, but in the system he'd be more of a Stu Armstrong replacement and we would definitely need to replace Downes elsewhere. Highly unlikely, but I wouldnt rule out a loan move happening if West Ham go crazy in the transfer market.

Any chance we could get both JWP & FD, a BOGOF deal would be just great!

JWP is an upgrade on Smallbone, would be great for morale, set pieces and experience. It's a no brainier but he would need to be flexible on salary. I wouldn't want him to be our top earner and there is no chance it should be him or Downes but FD first and then him. I have thought for a while this has a lot going for it but at the same time it feels a bit too good to be true.

Villa need to shed at least £60M worth of players to avoid FFP repercussions. There are any number of their squad I'd like to see here but a punt on Jhon Duran, Moussa Diaby or Leon Bailey would definitely improve our firepower.

I totally understand his reasons for leaving… frankly he had to give things a go… I’d welcome / love JWP back
