Are their names a secret?

No, it's Emenike and Moses.

On what basis? Is he crap on football champions manager for the PC also available on X Box?

Just my opinion mate.

From seeing him play football. I don't play footy manager mate. No idea what he's like on that.

Let's face it, there's a reason big clubs aren't looking at McGeady. I haven't seen a lot of him but what I have seen suggests he's a wildly inconsistent player who pretty much defines a luxury player, but with very little luxury.

If this is seriously the standard of footballer we're looking at under Martinez, I'm going to start to worry. I assumed it was all paper talk nonsense tbh.

This is the sort of player you'd expect Martinez to swoop for at Wigan, but he has to realise he's in a different league now.

If we get him, hope I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain this isn't a signing Moyes would have made.

Stay positive about Martinez mate...just like your article from a few weeks back!

from his wiki page:

Emenike signed a four-year deal and increased his buy-out clause to $42 million.[SUP][19][/SUP]

Negredo's release clause is £70m. Hulk's was £88m, he got sold for what, 30?

If we signed Moses and he scored the winner in the derby we could all make jokes about how he "parted the red sea"

That would be nice

It's £20m.

This - shows no ambition we might as well burn £4m - Depressing

A) No it's not, he hasn't signed for us nor even been linked with us in a scredible place B) I get all giddy when we sign people anyway.

I think Kone and Alcaraz are a much better example of that than Aiden McGeady

McGeady has at least had time in the Champions League

I honestly think Kone brings something, he looked good whenever I saw him last year. Always a threat, strong, scores goals, and always seems to work hard, which is a bonus.

Him and Alcaraz would be good additions to our squad, if nothing else, and it does need strengthening.

As for McGeady, wasn't Moyes after him a while back too?

that Musa looked a handfull last night against spain, very pacey but the final ball was sometines lacking

He'd cost a bit mind, CSKA aren't exactly scraping the barrel when it comes to money.

What's wrong with our current wing pairing of Pienaar and Mirallas? All of the players in the paper are right-sided which means that Kev is off?

I thought £70m sounded a bit insane.

Im playing with you mate.

Ive seen him probably 4 times- one of which he was head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch in a champions league game. The other times I can barely remember his name being mentioned which fits into what people have said about him in terms of hot and cold.

Question here as I don't know, just how accurate is FM with that sort of thing?

I don't know how much i'd trust a computer game with these things.

Moyes was continually linked with McGeady going back to 2009.
