drseanfitz 3,464 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Re: The 4 Nation Challenge v.2 Just letting the Italians know that once some externals go through I shall likely bid on a 90 rated CB. I haven't decided which one yet but I'll let you know once I do so that you have plenty of notice to get your "bids" in. Alternatively' date=' you could just bid on them all to be safe? (urgh, all they can do is talk about us, we're clearly the big threat, they're jealous etc etc...just cos people point at the funnily looking kid in the corner doesn't mean we want to be like that funny looking kid) Nice to know you are thinking about us ed. But think we might set our targets a little higher than a 90. In fact whilst we are making these announcements I shall let you all know that I intend to bid on another high rated player with the external money so if all three rival nations want to bid against me and then withdraw like they did with Ronaldo, then you better save some cash saved up.

I now have 6 goal keepers - and none will be staying that long. Ed Moses steered Southampton to victory against Sevilla.Southampton beat Sevilla 1 - 0 in their Friendly fixture. Valdés had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match. Ramírez was on the scoresheet for his side. Well, would you look at that.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
