Nah, not really, there's nothing substantial as of now

My best guess in all honesty.

That would be a yes.

I was surprised as well as Prince had lately been playing in defensive midfield (for Frankfurt) and his pace is, err, gone, but there he was, playing CF for Sassuolo.

Anyway, loving it. My neighborhood represented at Barca

Paulinho, Malcom, Boateng........ Uefa/Fifa need to gey off their bums and investigate the shadiness. No way these guys have been brought in with squad depth in mind when they are moved 6 months later

It's a short-term replacement for Munir. It ain't much but it's honest work.

Better than Llorente or Morata. I'm sure there's some positives.

Munur didn't even get playingtime. You could've replaced him with a rubber mannequin. That's just the front for some shady business deals. Bartumeu will go the Sandro Rossell route imo

This reminds me of the Douglas deal.

He got some playing time, mainly as a substitute but still. Now that he's gone, there's nobody to jump in for when Suarez is sidelined.

Let's not forget Dembele also got injured. We needed someone versatile who can play as a forward/false 9/winger.

Whether or not that person should be Prince though- I don't know.

PSG are apparently going for Allan, minimum 80 mil that Napoli wants lol. rumour is that De Jong told them he wont join them next summer

Apparently De Jong agreed to join barca, the fee could be €80M+

idk how to feel about this....

enjoy it, twitter told me he is good, next cruyff or something. improved arthur

all De Jong's are garbage

80m for some 21 year old numpty from the Eredismelli

whatever could go wrong

What about Rabiot? are barca still gonna sign him or he will go somewhere else now?

De Jong and Arthur

Barca has found their Iniesta and Xavi replacements.

I'll tell you how you should feel. Thank your lucky stars your club isn't cheap and move on.

Enjoy winning the league for the next 10 years.

Barcelona have confirmed Ajax star midfielder Frenkie de Jong will join the club on July 1.

The 21-year-old joins for a fee of £65m (€75m) with a further £9.5m (€11m) in add-ons and has signed a five-year contract until the summer of 2024.

We're signing Soares , Southampton fullback on loan with option to buy

How is him ?

Good going forward and trash defensively is pretty much the way to describe him.

Probably wouldn't be a bad wing back but i don't think you play like that.

I've not seen him play in a while but he seemed to be nothing spectacular and probably a step down from Inters level.

But there are not many great full back options out there at present.

^ Our problem is Vrsaljko is eternally injured. He is so injury prone that can't even play 2 matches in a row.
So we are getting this.

I've read he was called up in place of Cancelo at World Cup .... NT Calls are nonsense lol

I think we are at around 400Mil Euro in transfers with a week to go.

Higuain gets loaned to Chelsea, which seems a good move, Chelsea rely too much on Hazard for goals. I know he had some good seasons lately, but I always thought he needed a lot of chances to score when he was at Real. Milan replace him with the hot new Polish prospect, the new Lewandowski or Milik or not. I think he went for around 40mil. He has a good scoring record in his first season in Serie A.

Bayern keep signing the Young Americans or at least the Young North Americans. Chris Richards for a mil from FC Dallas. I dont know if this is a marketing move or if he is the new Franz Beckenbauer. Or is this the new Bayern, full of young North Americans, maybe that is the way of the future, we are so much bigger and stronger in North America compared to puny little Europeans. It is probably down to all the Big Macs we consume, even the President serves them to sporting teams over here when they visit the White House, it is all we eat. Well that and watery beer. OK Canadian beer is a bit less watery, just tastes like chemicals.

Stuttgart are selling players to the 2nd div. which is strange, since that is where they will be next season.

All in all, I am disappointed how the WWEpl are not being more crazy, they usually spend money like drunken sailors. I mean come on, AC Milan are out spending them and they dont even have any money!
