Supposedly Stoke is deciding whether or not to spend 19million pounds on Giannelli Imbula. They need someone to fill the hole Nzonzi left but that's a bit pricey, can probably find a better deal elsewhere
That would be a huge deal for them.Supposedly Stoke is deciding whether or not to spend 19million pounds on Giannelli Imbula. They need someone to fill the hole Nzonzi left but that's a bit pricey, can probably find a better deal elsewhere
I don't watch a lot or if any Donetsk, how good can Teixera be?
Lol at Atletico wanting to buy a club, shouldn't they work on paying any debt they have first?
Continuing the Xhaka talks, he isn't just rumoured to Arsenal, almost every top 5-7 domestic football league has Xhaka going to one of the top teams. I've seen him linked with Sparta Moskov, Zenit, Juventus, Valcenia, Atletico, and Arsenal.
Now in terms of Arsenal, this would a freakin' awesome buy. Gotta strengthen up that midfield and Granit does that. But I do think cgf is overrating Xhaka's price tag, I highly doubt he would go for anything close to 40 million Euros. One site, Express which is a joke has him going for £37m which Wenger won't spend, while The Guardian, a more trusted site, has him going for £26m or 34 million Euros. Newspapers calling him "a young, but better tackling Schweinsteiger".
PSG is apparently after Lewa. They have met his agent. PSG will spend some dough next summer, book it. Zlatan will be gone and Lavezzi, Maxwell and maybe Cavani will be off the books.
International soccer clubs spent a record high of $4.18 billion in player transfers in 2015, according to world soccer’s premier governing body FIFA. With television and sponsorship money rocketing, the number of players transferred from one club to another was up to an all time high, according to FIFA's Global Transfer Market report, which monitored 6,500 clubs around the world.
England, home to the Premier League, was responsible for more than 30 percent of the total outlay, the statement released Thursday showed.
The reports showed that 13,558 transfers took place last year, of which only 13.7 percent had a fee involved. Transfer fees have ballooned in the past few years, with the amount spent on player transfers rising by 44 percent since 2011.
The report also showed salary data for the first time. Soccer players received $6.6 billion in wages as part of transfer deals in 2015. As domestic transfers are not overseen by FIFA, Godard estimated that the total transfer market could be worth more than the $4.2 billion reported.

The fact that they haven't recalled Markovic makes me think Klopp doesn't think that much of him.
Unless that's already been documented. Too lazy to look.
Have West Ham actually bid ~20M for Josip Drmic? I actually like Drmic and think he could be a nice fit for them...if he was on form...but his form this year has been very poor and is a far cry from the guy who shined for 1.FCN, or even the one who outplayed Keissling in the ruckrunde last season. If there's any truth to this, even if the figure being offered is closer to half that amount, BMG would be wise to sell and reinvest those funds in the team.
Dybala would fit like a glove at Barca, but unfortunately I don't see him getting a lot of playing time after MSN.
So if they get Dybs and PP = galacticos?
Where would Dybala even fit in? Unless they're planning on selling Neymar like some of the rumours going around (I highly doubt it) I don't think Dybala will leave to play second fiddle somewhere.
I think he's going to Madrid, now that Zizo is there.
As I said their would be a new trident and Messi would drop back. Neymar/Suarez didn't mind playing 2nd fiddle, neither would Dybala, he's already said how much he'd love to play for them before.
“I would like to move in this transfer window and have told them [Shakhtar] that.
“They have received a very good offer and they are working on a solution.
“But if I don’t go now then I will leave in the summer. After six years in Europe and with Shakhtar we are ready to move and I have spoken to my wife and daughter.â€
...
“I am not ruling out other leagues but I do want to play in the Premier League. In my mind, it is the strongest in the world. I want a challenge and to further my career there.

After today's circus Liverpool better be looking at some defendive players, namely a LB and DM.
Sturridge
Coutinho-Teixera-Ibe
Can-Henderson
someone-Sakho-someone-Clyne

Big needs are a goalkeeper, maybe thats Ter-Stegen. A left back, maybe thats Ricardo Rodriguez, a center-back, I think Marquinhos could be a fit. Bogdan, Lovren, Caulker, Toure, Ilori, Moreno, Jose Enrique, Lucas Leiva, Allen are all players that have to go. I really don't think it'd take more than another 80M to turn this into a UCL caliber squad, its missing probably four UCL caliber players at important positions, another depth player in midfield and a few main players staying healthy from being very good.
Sakho's very underrated, Clyne's one of the best RB's in the premier league, Can-Henderson is a solid core central midfield core, Coutinho is overrated but still pretty good, Alex Teixeira is probably hit or miss, similar to Luiz Adriano, Ibe could develop into a very good winger. Sturridge might not be able to stay fit, but I still don't think striker is a need, even if he can't. Benteke is probably Giroud caliber if he gets a lot of service and plays for a very good attacking team. Firmino can fill in as an alternative, Origi has some potential, Ings is serviceable.
Mignolet's a good back up keeper, Flanagan, Skrtel, Gomez is good defensive depth, if they can stay healthy. Might need another central midfielder. I don't think Lucas Leiva and Joe Allen are good. They probably need someone to replace their roles. Milner's okay for a small role in the squad, as is Rossiter. Attacking midfield depth is good. Firmino's versatile and can play a few positions. Milner's serviceable, although not very exciting. Joao Carlos Teixeira and Markovic can probably add some youth and depth to that attacking midfield.
