The brass doesn’t watch games. They just are obsssed with making moves on the market especially if they’re Spanish and were former la masia products

Seems like poor planning from juve. Sell Soule than buy Nico?

Unless they really think Soule topped out last season.

Pavlovic from Salzburg to Milan for 18 mil

Yoro could be out for 3-6 weeks, spotted walking on crutches and a boot. Ankle ligaments? The surface in the Arsenal game was terrible.

Hope you guys still have Evans on the books ...

He played in the game. We'll see if anything happens in this window or United will just start with the CBs they have. Btw, general comment, United's best XI might not get more than one game under their belt before the season begins, due to the 3 week vacation the Euro and Copa America guys got.

In a surprising move Iheanacho signs on a free to Sevilla. I know he's been useless for a while now, wonder how he'll do in La Liga

For all the talk about Chido picking money>path, I’m sure most people here would turn down moving to a new company and getting a raise(assuming everything is on the up and up). And allegedly he turned down more lucrative offers to join.

Not to say that money didn’t play its part I’m sure it did, but like… it’s soccer. Money is far and away the biggest driving factor now.

Yeah, I have no issue with him doing so. Getting 30k/week when you're 16 is impossible to turn down. I mean, god forbid, but he could blow his knee out tomorrow and never make that kind of money. That doesn't mean it isn't a crazy wage to offer a 16 year old, and it also doesn't mean that Ruud has some magical skills of persuasion or whatever.

I think this is a bargain

I remember people saying Vitinha was too expensive at 40.
Boy were I high on him. Still am.

 

[Fjorden]

Atletico Madrid getting closer to signing norwegian striker Alexander Sørloth from Villareal. Villareal wants 45 millon Euro.

Erlic to Bologna.
I'm high on him, I wish he got minutes at the EURO. In 9 matches with Croatia, we've allowed on goal with him on the pitch.
Doesn't move the ball well, but dominant physically and in the air.
Will play CL with Bologna now, was also rumored to be going to Inter and Lazio.

Looks like Merino to Arsenal… 30 million is a bargain.

 

[luiginb]

He was absolutely dreadful for Sassuolo, one of the biggest reasons they went down.

Leverkusen has sold Iker Bravo to Udinese. Should be a good environment for him to grow, as they usually play attacking, entertaining football. Potentially good partnership with tall Lucca, too.

Low initial fee, but Leverkusen gets 50% of any future transfer.

 

[luiginb]

Impressed me at the U19 Euros. Planning to watch a lot of Serie A this year again with Man and Mihaila at Parma and Marin at Cagliari, and the league's general exciting level of play, hope to get to see Iker Bravo play again, he might be Spain's future number 9.

I mean lets just say I'd rather have Joao Neves at that package than Caicedo at nine figures.

Vitinha you were definitely in on. Just needed the right manager.. Vitinha WZE Neves is going to be a lot of fun

Vitinha and Neves need a more defensive minded midfielder alongside them

 

[Jussi]

I see laughing at injuries is now the standard on this board...

I'm more shocked than anything how all centre backs you guys buy seem to turn into glass

Not if they never lose the ball. I kind of think the pure DM archetype is starting to get phased out as a whole, put that’s a different story. Look at PSG themselves, they buried Ugarte last season for a reason
