Transfer Rumours 2013/14 - Real World Football - FM24/25 Update

Eto'o could be signed within the next 48 hours also.

Surely would have to conclude business for the window if he does. Only other position that could be improved is a quality holding player, though Essien, Ramires and Mikel should be enough to manage.

Another good centre-back wouldn't hurt.

Heck, Tottenham should be the ones pursuing Leighton Baines. Danny Rose has potential in that LB spot but if they have Baines there, they would surely lock up that top 4 spot.

There's a lack of experience throughout that team and someone like Baines to lead the defence line would be needed. Their main concern is defence, after all.

Why would they spend 12-15m on a left back when they already have a good one?

Rose has a good 10 years left in him at the top level too.

If it wasn't for the Bale transfer they would never be able to spend this kind of money.

Well we had at least 50 million quid to spend anyway reportedly

Turned down Chelsea and then claiming his road to the first team was blocked so he fucked off to Tottenham. Also, he's gay.

Well that's up to Tottenham if they want Champions League football in the near future. Baines is a massive step up from Rose, and it'll take a good 2-3 seasons until Rose is Premier League quality. And investing 12-15m on a player like Baines would not hurt especially when they are getting rid of their best player. You really can't expect to insure success even from getting a bunch of promising players who look good on paper, but have no Premier League experience.

I take it you didn't watch Danny Rose at Sunderland at all last season then?

I didn't watch a lot of him, no. But it really would take some time for him to prove at Tottenham.

At the moment though, Baines is far ahead of Rose so investing that kind of money for his experience and ability would seem right for their ambitions.

Thought not.

He was excellent last year - easily Premier League quality.

I'm probably just saying that because a player like him deserves Champions League football as Everton really has no chance. Wanted him at United if Evra had gone to Monaco.

Well to be honest, out of United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham, the five most likely to contend for Champions League spots, Tottenham is the only suitable place for him because they lack an established Left-back. They seem the most likely to replace Arsenal for that 4th place as well.

So he'll be 29 pushing 30 by the time he's playing CL football?

Nah, I'd rather stick with Danny Rose.

Spurs are going to be ridiculous btw:

Lloris

Walker Vertonghen Kaboul Rose

Holtby/Paulinho Sandro/Capoue

Lennon Eriksen Lamela

That was the rumour going round before, at any rate. They're a good side but I think they'll really struggle with squad depth upfront and at the back, luck with injuries and they'll finish 4th with ease.
