Big catch for Bayern that Dembele.

Hahaha. We were heavily linked with him too. Guess they felt he should try his hand at the feeder club first. This upsets me a little bit though, it could harm Pulisic's growth.

Its a good move for him though I hoped we'd get him. Big coup for them given the apparent potential. If he reaches his expected level Bayern, PSG, Real, Barca or Man Utd/City would want to pay ludicrous money.

I think Pulisic would be fine. Specially, if Mkhitaryan moves this summer he should get games. And Reus is injured half the time, anyway so even if the team stays as it is he'll get games.

I imagine there's a c. €30m release clause

That Pulisic guy is awesome

Granit Xhaka to Arsenal is nearly done. 30m pounds. Great deal.

Edit- The final price actually is 25m. That is ridiculous if true. I mean that's the correct value but in the current climate that is a snip.

Brendan Rodgers -> Celtic

Well, it used to be a big job....

25m rising to 30m in appearance related add ons. and pounds, not euros - fair price. He has a £23m release clause that kicks in after one more season which is why there was some bargaining room. But it's not signed and sealed yet personal terms and medical aren't finished

Should be done pretty soon. Yeah, fair price. Was expecting an inflated fee tbh.

 

[Arnau]

Excellent signing

 

[Mandieta6]

Would've taken him at Chelsea at that price. Dunno if Conte would use a player like him but he should.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Can we even beat Arsenal for (non Serie A) signatures these days, offering a volatile manager and no European football?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Mazzari -> Watford confirmed

 

[Arnau]

Wtf?

 

[Juventino]

The Pozzo family owns Watford, they also own Udinese and Granada. Lots of Italian links and transactions between the three clubs.

 

[Arnau]

Yeah but i thought Quique Flores was doing a good job. btw, Pozzo doesnt own Granada anymore.

 

[Juventino]

I saw the news of the Granada sale right after that post!

 

[Arnau]

Banega left Sevilla for Inter, very dumb move. Congrats to Inter.

 

[Xaviesta]

Yeah. Reminds me of Bacca.
