Running the game. Edwards and Golbourne playing well too
Looking good. As it’s a replay though don’t reckon Shrews will be too anxious to let him depart before the summer. And that performance will have added to his value.

Didn’t watch too much but had a decent effort at the end
But yes probably makes us signing him this week a lot less likely

Cracking performance from him against Liverpool and he sounded smart and funny in his interview too.
In other words talented and 'the right sort'.

He looked great against Liverpool. I reckon the majority of the Championship clubs will be at Anfield for the replay watching him. Don't hold out any hope for signing him tbh.

Was a bit disappointed in the Shrewsbury training kit. Very cheap and poor designs for a club at that level.

Would the fact we've been tracking him for a while count in our favour? And are historically a good club for ambitious players from the lower leagues?

We are probably one of several though. All depends on who comes in for him I guess, I'd like to think we are still a relatively attractive option for a player but we won't pay as much as others might.

Two high profile, low risk players who can command a large wage. You haven't understood the point really. Maybe you should stick to being a racist and leave football to the experts.

I would classify myself as one. Have played 15,000 hours + of the game series.

With great pride. I wasted hours of my life on many things but none gave me as much frustrated pleasure as FM.

This is a ridiculous. Anybody claiming that football manager does not make you an expert has clearly never played it, or is just shit and can't even take Reading to the PL.
Note - it has normally taken me 2 years to reach it instead of 1 in recent additions. Guess it reflects where the team is in real life.

I was on for a historic quadruple with Reading once. Won the Prem, League Cup and FA Cup, and into the Champ league final. Was 3-0 at HT against Milan and lost 4-3. I didn't sleep that night.
