130 million Euro release clause attached to it.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Echeverri linked to Barça for a 30 million move (more than his release clause). He'd come on next summer. Please do this.

Spurs linked with Radu Dragusin. Apart from his glorious man-bun, what can you tell me about him?

For 32 million he's a good future option. Even though he's my countryman I'm not his biggest fan YET to be honest, I think he's a decent option for a team like Genoa, but he is just 21, so if he continues his progress maybe in two years I see him as starter quality for a team with Tottenham's ambitions.

First thing you'll notice about him is his confidence and leadership, despite his age he has no issues being very aggressive in aerial duels, and barking orders at his defense mates, he's definitely going to be captain at some point in his career. He's not that great with the ball at his feet and very easy to dribble past though.

He's also a long throw specialist, but on the other hand you also want him in the box during attacking plays as he scores very often for a defenseman, with both headers or shots. More of an old school defender, I see his ceiling as Bremer (the defender Juve chose to get instead of keeping Dragusin around, who was formed at Juve) or Tarkowski for a Premier League comparable.

Also read rumours that we're on Bergvall along with Inter

After some research I thought €30M sounded a bit rich. Think it's just his agent talking. But you never know how desperate teams can be in January I guess.

Think he would suit a high line well?

Been talked about for a while, finally official.

Yeah, he's as nimble as a doe haha

Arsenal going after Santiago Gimenez, ST from Feyenoord. I haven't watched him play much at all, but I've heard amazing things about him. 18 goals in 15 matches in Eredivisie.

Arsenal also looking at Arthur Vermeeren, CDM from Royal Antwerp.

Sport newspaper (one of Barcelona's house newspapers) is linking Dragusin to them. I think this can only happen if Araujo is indeed sold to Bayern this winter for 100 mil (Dragusin would cost 30ish, then the rest can be spent of making Cancelo and Felix our players)

Ornstein said before the matches yesterday that Chelsea and Man City both have FFP problems and will struggle to buy anyone in January.

I won't even be surprised if they sell Gallagher to cover previous buys and/or fund additional transfers. I'll take an indefinite break from them in that scenario.

I love how Man City spends a truckload of money with no FFP concerns and then suddenly their books start being investigated and they have to make up a ton of fake revenue and still have to worry about FFP.

Well, this new Chelsea owner has a lot of Madrid's "Perez" mannerisms for me, especially with the shiny new toy phenomenon. Chelsea would be absolutely ludicrous to sell this version of Gallagher, but maybe they see Nkunku as the better player and one to take all his minutes?

My take based on his comments is that because they're both being investigated by the EPL and FA, they are trying to play the nice game and not get into any more trouble.

I think we can all agree that Man City's entire back line is worth more than the amount of money they made over the course of 1-3 seasons.

If Nkunku comes in, he could be the 9 or he could be the 10. If he's the 10, I bet it's not Gallagher being dropped.

It won't be. Poch clearly loves him and he's like the first name written on the team sheet.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I love to make fun of Chelsea but I don't see them as being so bold as to sell Gallagher unless Gallagher has no intention of staying.

I f***ing hope so!

Poch's adamance that he is crucial makes me feel better about us not selling him.

On top of his on-field value, he's an academy player. At a certain point, throw these guys a bone, especially when it's for as deserving a player.

He's apparently a huge leader in training as well, which is what has elevated him to being captain.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

With Militao gone for the whole season and now Alaba too I expect Madrid to get a CB in the winter transfer
