When TJJ was ahead of him in the reserves, was part of their pre season training team and went out on loan and starting on loan.
Meh, he's a way better talent and has a significantly higher scoring rate.
I don't trust Arsenal with letting their prospects go. Gnabry, Malen and Bennacer are 100m+ in total value gone in recent seasons.
They all wanted to leave to play more. They weren't let go. It's more due to the office leaving contract extensions in the last minute. By they seem to do that with every player which is stupid.
Aubameyang is gone for sure and sorry TBH Nketiah is not the talent Balogun is as well. It's just stupidity.
It's like when they held onto Chuba Akpom and saw Malen leave.
I forgot to add Jeff Reine Adelaide, who was genuinely one of the most impressive players I've seen come up at Arsenal as a young player. He never got to play and now he's worth 30-40m. They gave garbage mins to a washed up Walcott and make signings like Lucas Perez.

Marc Jurado announced he’s leaving Barcelona for Man United. He’s a 16 yr old RB. I haven’t seen anything beyond highlights. Anyone have any insight?

I assume he is already better going forward than AWB

Nope. He was already linked with a move away and saw some highlights then.
Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Didn't Bayern already say he's staying this summer and they'd rather keep him one more season and let his contract expire than leave in a year on a free?

I found this on him earlier. Not crazy amounts of information but at least gives a base:
Emil Roback
Here are some highlights as well:

Nope. There have been a ton of bs rumors about the potential contract extensions and what will happen since before even Neuer got his deal done.
I remember 2 months ago when the same guy that just had the Sane transfer first had Thiago signing an extension in the next few days basically.
I would be surprised if they let Thiago and/or Alaba let walk for free unless there is no real market for these guys (which is possible due to their high salary demands and limited choices they would probably accept) at the price Bayern would want (probably atleast 35-40M each)..
Honestly Alaba as great as he has been as CB is somewhat replaceable if Hernandez can ever live up to his reputation and stay healthy.
Between him, Süle, Boateng, Pavard and Kouassi as well as the rumored interest in Upamecano as well as Davies stealing his LB spot for good, Bayern can afford to lose him.
Thiago would be tougher but between Kimmich (my dream of him going back to RB seems to be dead for good), Goretzka and Tolisso (if he stays), as well as Cuisance (if he stays) and potentially Kouassi, Bayern could also survive that assuming they use the money they get for these guys to bring in some replacements (Zakaria, Havertz (unlikely), Aouar, Upamecano, etc.).

Love this move for all involved. Facchineri was great at the U-17s for Canada.

Stay strong Appie! ❤
The lone standout when it comes to Dutch goalkeeping talents; Mikki van Sas from FC Utrecht, joined Manchester City this passed week. Hopefully he does well; Oranje desperately needs some quality between the posts. I’m just always hesitant about City’s youth development.
While we're at it with some Nordic players, I can also mention Iceland's '03 Isak Bergmann Johannesson since there probably won't be any Icelandic posters here to talk about him. He has recently forced his way into the starting XI for the Swedish league leaders Norrköping:
