I wonder if he struggles at roundabouts

Happy to help 😉

Software can have bugs, that are then corrected. They aren't intentional. The correction is to realign it with simulating reality.

Luton - 5th tier to Premier League Bournemouth- 4th tier to Premier League Wrexham - 5th tier to Championship All in real life. Even the last one, with Hollywood help... is still real life.

FM is a simulation of the football world. It has input from numerous professionals within high levels of the sport so it reflects how the sport works. To be dismissive of it, is naive.

Read it in context of the post I was originally replying to, where he said... "there's absolute mountains still to be done" as "our current best team you'd imagine about half of them would still be off". Until the club know for certain they are leaving, they do not need to replace them.

No bids for them = don't need to replace.

Which 5 or 6 of our best XI would that be? No signs so far of anything imminent. No bids for them = don't need to replace.

Contract ends 30th June 2027 https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/bednarek-extends-saints-stay

Southampton had a similar game vs Gillingham on Tuesday. Two 60 minute games behind closed doors at the training ground, and they did make a highlights video.

If you are being serious... that is quite an overreaction! 😁

Welington wasn't at Saints in FM24, so nothing to do with me.

No need with Welington already here

This had been long rumoured but neither Southampton or Göztepe have ever publically confirmed that Southampton's Juan Santos is on loan at Göztepe for a 2nd season. He played in a friendly for them yesterday.

The club website... "Being one of the first home games of the season, there is no guarantee this fixture will go to general sale. If applicable, further sales windows will be announced in the upcoming weeks." https://share.google/qwyIfhQIn77f4tPJK

Is this the club's way of saying it is his first day back in training (as they did similar for Manning and Smallbone)? Aribo did not play for Nigeria this summer, so does anyone know why he would get an extended holiday?

No

It wasn't lack of effort, it was lack of quality relative to the league we were in that led to the 'pitiful performances'. I haven't denied last season was dreadful or that most of the players were completely out of their depth last season. We are now in a significantly shallower end and many of our players have their 10m badge gaving already been good enough to win promotion in the shallow end.

If rather than just a training photo this was the club announcing Joe Aribo returned to training on 10th July like they did for internationals like Manning and Smallbone, does anyone know why he was given extended leave? As he doesn't appear to have been with Nigeria over the summer. At least not in the squad vs Russia on 6th June.

Please list the ones that aren't good enough for the top end of the Championship. I'm not denying most are out of their depth in the Premier League. Exactly!

Which of them are cringey playing at Championship level?
