He not making it up.  The Gabon manager did not call up Auba and he did say the following:

"Aubamayang asked to not be selected as he is changing clubs."

Now Dortmund are denying it.  But it doesn't make the quote false.  It was made.

How do you know the Gabon manager actually said it? Did you hear it?
Or because the MEN has an article apparently quoting the BS tweet that was already posted here

Not enough pace imo.

Also 2 star skill moves? overrated tbh.

Risky transfer. I love the kid, and Bayern have recently done better than Schalke in not ruining their talent, but he'd be contesting with Costa and Coman for those sweet minutes of first team action. Could be tough.

According to kicker, while we're obviously interested in Sahne, we'll not try to pursue him this summer even if Götze leaves. However when an alleged 35m € release clause kicks in next summer, it's  very possible we'll get involved.

Agree with Glory that getting him now would be absolute nonsense. Unless he's about to be snapped up by an English club or so. Then we should think about getting him no matter what.

I read Barca might consider Gotze this summer

Good choice.

According to Mundo deportivo you are also after Mata. Both of those are not good choices unless Enrique is planning on changing formation. Just get bloody Nolito and be done with it. He wants you, you want him and with the new Nike contract you'll finally afford him

Ter Stegen
Roberto-Marquinhos-Pique-Alba
Busquets
Rakitic-Götze
Messi--------Neymar
Suarez

MD reported so it's BS; but if he were to somehow arrive he would be sitting his ass on the bench just like he does at Bayern. He really should consider Liverpool, Klopp would start him

MD makes Tuttosport a very reliable Source

Garbage paper

Anyway Welcome Dani.Marotta pretty much confirming the signing today.

Yea, great deal imo. Best of luck to Alves, got yourself a dime of a player

Reports that we are after João Cancelo to replace him, amongst other names but Cancelo's keeps popping up the most.

West Ham have submitted a €20m offer for Bacca but Milan want €25m. Bacca is willing to accept if he is offered the same salary [Sky].

He earns 3.5m p/y btw, wouldn't cry if he left, 25m for an aging 30 yr old who tries to do a rabona goal every week is good enough for me. In hindsight not that big of lost, especially if we get an able replacement

Since we'll need to make space for Ibra, I'm okay with it.

EPL experts, is West Ham able to afford his salary? (3.5m p.y)

With the extra TV money and bigger stadium next season, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for them.

how many teams do you support

not much transfer activity going on at the moment. maybe clubs are waiting for the euros to end

dat feeling when west ham is actually a step up from milan

when will we see ac milan as a european giant again smh

Not like we're losing Ibra/Silva here

It's a shame what happens in Milan since the departure of legends like Gattuso, Pirlo, Nesta. Seems like the board thought they would be at the club forever and never had a plan for the next era. Ibra/Silva going to PSG was the final and biggest slap.

I mean i understand Milan may have had money issues, but there were many, many poor decisions made on the transfer market. Matri the notorious flop is an example. Not improving the defense while stubbornly keep players like Bonera/Mexes was another. Not keeping stability in the coaching staff was another...

I hope, for the very good of Serie A and italian football, that Milan comes out of this lethargy. From now on you have a great goalkeeper for the next 25 years thats a good start

I just realized Leondro Damaio played for Betis last season in a few matches. Pretty hilarious, this dude a few years ago was on every clubs wish list, now he can barely scrap some games for Betis. Looks like it was a loan and he's back in Brazil now.

Was this guy always destined to be over rated as shit? Or did he have the potential but got injured or something along the way (ala Ganso)?

AS going crazy about Madrid trying to sign Alaba for 50mill but Bayern refusing.

And I suppose Barca didn't want to sell Messi for 60m as well....

I didn't mean crazy about Bayern refusing, I meant crazy as in there are 5 articles about Alaba on the top of the site.
