All you said is true yet that doesn't negate the fact he isn't good enough to start for City.

Silva and De Bruyne are a level above, hell I wouldn't be surprised if Bernado Silva if gets enough minutes this season that he proves he's closer to Eriksen than Eriksen is to David Silva.

Thought he was gonna stay on. The timing of this seems incredibly dramatic and fishy too I might add. Sad to see two pillars of Juventus leave in the same window.

Yeah, you can always sell. I'm pretty sure that's true for every league.

Mole has always been the biggest Eriksen hater around.. I've no idea what the poor lad ever did to him to create so much hate.

Obviously they CAN sell, the market window is really only about being allowed to register players, after all.
You can always sell, and buy for that matter.
But they can't 'sign', i.e. register, new players for this league season anymore so selling key players abroad now is pretty much a no go in most cases.

saw Juve fans online hyping him up as recently as last week

uff, Juve exodus continues, smart move with that locker room cancer CR7 there now

if he joins a rival now you wont hear the end of it from me

by Warrior Fri Aug 17, 2018 12:36 pm

It's not something fun he was a legend, always behaved with class and he got a shit end of career, nearly humiliating.

Those who laugh of Marchisio departure know *bleep* all about him and about Juve.

Might come to MLS he has until sept 14 to sign a contract as free agent. Hopefully in my local club (there were talks before), this would heal the pain.

So Inter signed Modric yet ?

Milan signed SMS yet ?

Numpties stopped hyping them yet ?

Juventus are closing in on the signing of Arsenal striker Stephy Mavididi. He's passed a medical and agreed personal terms. (Source: SkySports)

These rumours served to obscure the CR7 debut

We got this.

Seems like Real blocked the Modric move.
Inter should just sign Rafinha, Modric is gonna be 33 soon.

by BusterLfc Fri Aug 17, 2018 3:42 pm

@Robespierre Why this obsession with Modric? He will be a really short term solution and he will be on high wages until he is 37. It would be a much smarter move to go for someone younger like Rafinha

by BusterLfc Fri Aug 17, 2018 3:48 pm

Meh, seems like Modric just used Inter to get a bigger paycheck

Cagliari in talks with Liverpool over potential move for defender Ragnar Klavan.

I think it's happened.

Was a weird signing when it happened, but fulfilled his role.

Still, going to be a tough pub quiz question in a few years' time.

by RealGunner Fri Aug 17, 2018 9:33 pm

I keep imagining Klavan as Kyrgiakos because to this date i have no idea how klavan looks like.

Hard to forget a face like Kyrgiakos' though

Interestingly Klavan and Kyrgiakos were both similiar players, they were both servicable 4th-5th choice CBs and did their job when they were called upon.
