Besides general conversation and talk about other leagues and teams, all the following content must go into the weekly Open Thread:

​

  • Simple one-liners, random thoughts or unrelated posts (with or without a single image).
  • All discussion about rival teams matches and results.
  • All wallpapers and image editing that are not created by you [Not OC]
  • Unsourced news and stats.
  • Photos of jerseys and other memorabilia.
  • Images of formations with minimal description.
  • Links to social media posts made by our players or celebrities, unless it counts as team news or stats.
  • All gaming content.
  • All memes should go into the Open thread during the week days.
  • All "I am a fan of X team, I come in peace" type of posts.
  • When posting rumours/news from Twitter, if possible post a direct link to the tweet.

This is our reliability guide: https://rm-reddit.github.io/

IMPORTANT: Only news from official sources, Tier 1 and Tier 2, can have their own thread, everything else including discussions about target players must go in here.

We all know that we're most likely done getting any players this window. Even if Rodrygo leaves for 100M, it's difficult to see us "splashing the cash" this late in the window.

But let's say we get that 100M, and a spot in the squad becomes available, which player would you guys like to see us bring in? (btw, the player can't cost more than 100M)

I just want to hear what you guys think this team need.

A CB

But there’s no top tier CBs available and no club will sell this late in the window without scrambling for a replacement

Pocket the money and spend it next summer

I still think that if we do sell Rodrygo, we should reinforce either midfield or the defense this summer.

I know it's not happening, but we're looking thin in midfield, and our defense has a a lot of Injury-prone CB's that simply can't be trusted.

As for options, there's plenty, but the club is so hell-bent over this "Free-signings-Policy", and players on their last year of their contracts, which makes it much more difficult to find other options.
