The Magpies have not yet given up on signing the Lyon striker and will once again up their offer in a bid to land the Frenchman in the January window.

Would be a GOAT signing

Most blatant "we tried" yet It's not happening and it won't happen but that doesn't stop the club from fooling the media to actually thinking they are trying.

right

He's fallen out of favour at Atletico and has been left out the squad altogether for the past month or so. Seems to be lacking physically. Atleti signed Augusto from Celta and have been giving games to Partey from their B team so it's pretty clear Oliver Torres isn't in Simeone's plans.

I'm not sure he's even a good fit for Dortmund, but he is certainly talented.

Inter contacts Banega (GDM)

If Spurs get anything above 8m pounds for Townsend it would be incredible.

I actually don't think he would be a bad signing for Newcastle necessarily. He offers pace and he really runs at the opponent. He can go past players and is a good dribbler of the ball. The problem with him has always been that he doesn't play smart and lacks end product.

For a team that lacks ambition and will never get anywhere as long as Ashley is in charge, he might be a good fit. Maybe he'll not try as hard to be a starter and make smarter decisions, maybe he'll enjoy their offense more, idk. The point I'm making is he's not a talentless pos. He's a pos that doesn't belong at Spurs but can succeed if he can be smarter.

But good luck with that, if he hasn't learned by now he likely never will, and that's why anything above (I'm going to revise it) 6m pounds is a steal for Spurs imo

Leicester City have offered €13m for Sampdoria striker Eder, according to Sky Italia.

The amount of crap we have bought since we got rid of Debuchy, MYM, Santon, Cabaye and Ben Arfa is hilarious.

Meh, he's decent for a midtable team.

ya Townsend is miles better then Obertan so there's that lol

Caught me by surprise to be honest. Not sure why other teams weren't in for him if he was available, he is class.

In more important matters, I wonder if Gundogan's joining Liverpool in the summer.

i agree tbh , i am surprised to read as such . Like , they are selling him even with the ban ? Does anyone know if something happened between him and Simeone ? I thought Atletico prized him .

Could be a very nice transfer for Dortmund if it's true . Will certainly keep an eye out

Apparently his contract runs out 2017.

I'm assuming he doesn't want to renew since he does not seem to be exactly prospering in Simeone's system.

So if they want to cash in and reinvest, now's the time.

No idea why people are commenting about silly nonsense like Lacazette to Newcastle, but Oliver signing for BVB is met with an indifferent shrug?!

What happened? Last I checked he was one of the most highly rated young midfielders around?

No one is commenting on Oliver because he is not very good. He is a flashy footballe who can drible and looks very good when he has the ball. However, he is slow with or without the ball, can't defend, and his passing is very, very bad. Off course, he is young and can be a great player, but as of now he is not impressive.

You mean a kid is a hyped up beyond his level before he proves anything at all?

I'M SHOCKED !

We'll see Mole.

You haven't yet owned up for calling Mkhitaryan a complete fraud, terrible player who steals a living etc pp yet, Mole.

He's 21. That's young, but not a kid. Deulofeu is proving much more than Oliver Torres and most people have already given up on him....

He is.

Anyway speaking of frauds and stealing a living....

We have paid 12m for Townsend

I have enjoyed many years laughing at you and your club Mole, but I am now at a point where I feel sorry for you

#EndMolesMisery

Well i did ask to spend more money.... ( even if it only is to save the owners own ass)

Careful what you wish for i suppose.

I wonder if Basel really are willing to sell Breel Embolo in the Winter Window. They are still in the Europa League and would love to play the final in their own stadium - and to get there, they need the kid as their other strikers are not half as good.

There goes yet another promising kid to some other club after being linked to us for quite sometime.

Btw Oliver Torres aint that special. Fully agree with free cat. Between him and Saul, the latter is the real deal and rightly so he is not been allowed to leave.

Barcelona centre back Marc Bartra (25) has asked to leave during ongoing winter transfer window, but club said he can't leave now. [cope]

Let's hope this ends like the Pedro case and he leaves in the summer window. #saveuschelsea

kicker says Basel has decided to reject Wofsburg's offer

Soriano and Eder have been involved in in 24 goals (18 goals, 6 assists) so far, Inter as whole have scored 26.

We are about to double our goalscoring, scudetto here we come

I've heard the hype around Oliver for a few years now, but given Atletico's talent evaluation and their ability to seemingly get the most of out their players I can't imagine they would let him go if he were really as good as some people hype him up to be. Obviously sometimes players just don't fit into some systems, but generally speaking a class player will still make their mark and be noticeable.

I'm surprised that more teams aren't in on Embolo a bit based on his age, scoring ability and performances in Europe.

I think many teams are actually. It could be the player choosing a club like wolfsburg over say a Man U as he might get lot more scope for improvement and game time there. And coming to United it seems isnt exactly a rosy proposition right now either and that too even for a young player sadly.
