What? He was injured for a couple of months just last season. He missed several matches in November and December. I was disappointed because he'd been playing so well before that and because he didn't recover in time to face PSG in the league.

I wonder if he'll be another Juan Sebastian Veron for them. Signed amidst much fanfare from Serie A for a huge fee, doesn't really fit how they play, and is eventually shipped off after a couple of seasons.

The thing is though we have a 23-year-old Andre Gomes and a 22-year-old Denis Suarez as young midfield options already. It'll be hard enough for Alena to get minutes without adding another top prospect to the squad.

If someone is ready to pay 100M for a player we bought for 30M then I'll be pretty happy about a 70M profit from a bench option.

I read he'd signed for Red Bull Leipzig.

I only saw the second half but I thought he did well. Looked very confident spraying passes around, and the goal they conceded wasn't his fault.

Good player. Looking forward to seeing him play for us.

I'm a little a surprised Pep didn't try to get Eric Dier to play a kind of Busquets role in City's midfield.

I think it's just the usual polemic levelled at any potential signing on here. You'll pretty much always have at least one poster saying something like, "Why are we linked to him? He's awful. Our board are idiots!". Everybody seems gutted about losing Claudio Bravo now, but take a look at the...

Seems like a fire sale at Valencia. If we throw in Douglas we might be able to get the Mestalla too.

That was my first thought too. If there's any truth to this it's terrible time to be a Valencia fan. Players like Andre Gomes, Mustafi, and Alcacer will not be easy to replace.

Yeah, I saw that. He must have made quite an impression on Lucho. I thought he'd be training with the B team now that we have almost all the first team players back. Looks very promising.

So, does anyone know if he's back from Brazil yet? I really hope there's no serious problem with his visa.

From the little I've seen of him I wonder how well he'd fit here. When I saw him it looked like he was holding onto the ball too long, putting his head down and trying to dribble past everyone before inevitably losing possession. If we signed him he'd have to adapt to how we play and look to...

Well, you can only play what's in front of you. And as for the Champions League, since they signed Thiago Silva they've made the quarter finals for the last four or five years straight. So, unless you have a very narrow definition of something working i.e. winning the Champions League (which...

In what way has buying Thiago Silva and Marquinhos not worked out for PSG? Even David Luiz has been good for them.

Laporte signed a new contract to stay with Athletic. He wasn't going anywhere this transfer window. And he wasn't "miles better" than Stones. Laporte is a promising young player but he still had games last season where he was all over the place.

We are not insistent about looking in Brazil. We sign many more players from la liga than Brazil. We've also signed players from France, Italy, England, and Germany recently. Evidentially not, because who we actually signed for that position was a Frenchman from la liga, and a Belgian from the...

Yeah, it's a good video. I wish there were more like that instead of the usual tedious goal compilations you get even if the player is a defender.
