I think he has bags of talent, maybe he doesn't show it on a consistent enough basis. But the Prem is full of talented players who don't quite have the consistency. I think Rodgers is a decent manager to get the best out of players and I'd back Perez to do well under him.
He’ll do alryt in a Rodgers system and give a decent return of high single figures over 25 games or so. He got better when Almiron joined, so will benefit from playing with Maddison and Tielemans. I suspect Leicester are being prudent in there business and brining in Maddison’s replacement before he either goes this year or next, which fair play to them it’s a good way to do it.
No but I read some superb reviews on them a while back.
Not sure, it was doing the rounds today though. He's now the bookies favourite.
I will man, I've bookmarked that for later. Currently re-reading those written reviews as well, trying not to chuckle out loud in the office.
Listened to the one on Striker last night, it was hilarious. Only just seen from re-reading this post that they did another one on Sweeper?? I'll have to find that one as well now!
I've still never forgiven Leon Osman for injuring one of my key players once (weirdly can't remember which one of my players it was).

I did also listen to the Championship Manager 97/98 one (I think you posted that in the old Champ thread?) which was really good. Too close to home with some of the things they said. Particularly the thing about hating the real-life player for their exploits in your game save.
I'm pretty certain I had that game, in those days you used to have to re-launch your PC in 'MS-DOS' mode to play it. I can't remember too many of the players from it though - CM01/02 is much more my wheelhouse for that. But I remember my formation in 97/98 because it was pretty mad - a bit like the one one of them describes in that podcast with arrows everywhere. I had a back 3 that was one CB and full backs, then a DMC with an arrow going back, then 3 MCs, but the right and left ones had arrows going all the way up alongside the striker. Then I had a AML and an AMR just to sling crosses in and a lone SC (flanked by the two MCs who had bombed on of course). So it was like a 4-5-1 in defence but in attack we had only one man back and 5 up top.
Having see Mings play and stamp at Mad Stad, I would rather buy Matt Miazga. Three years younger, USA international and superb for us. Helped keep us in Championship. Sure Chelsea would sell for less than £20million.
Let him rot in the reserves
Sounds like Koscielny refused to go on Arsenals pre season tour, cracking way for the club captain to behave. Thought he was one of the better ones
What was the reason though? Surely he's not trying to force a move at his age?Sounds like Koscielny refused to go on Arsenals pre season tour, cracking way for the club captain to behave. Thought he was one of the better ones
