So, has Valencia confirmed the transfer yet?

If only there was an 18 page long thread filled with poster's opinions on that subject somewhere on the internet you could check...

Oh Lucho, what have you done?? The whole world assumed Tello and Montoya were going to be vital players for Barca based on the fact Tello's been bouncing around on loan at clubs that don't want to pay for him for the last two years, and the fact Montoya barely played for us and was loaned out to...

This has to one of the most boring transfer sagas I can remember.

I hope there's no buyback clause as that could reduce how much we get for him. I don't rate him, and can't see him ever being more than a bench option for us at most.

He could cover any of our front three positions, so I think he'd get plenty of minutes.

That's what the commentators kept saying during his presentation, but when they asked Umtiti about it as he was coming off the pitch he seemed pretty non-committal about it.

How do we know he'd be cheap though? De Laurentiis is always so stubborn dealing with transfers, and I think Reina still has a couple of years on his contract.

Dortmund was a really good move for him. He should be able to develop there well in the next few seasons, and then maybe make the jump to one of the biggest clubs.

Apparently, L'Equipe are reporting that Lyon rejected a €25m offer from Napoli for Tolisso. I hope he stays with Lyon for another year.

That is a really good article. It makes things much clearer.

I think you're getting him confused with some other player. Alena turned 18 months ago. He'll be 19 on January 5th. In any case, it's still too early to say with any certainty how he'll develop. Early signs are promising though. I hope he makes his debut with the first team this coming season.

Not sure what you're on about. I watched the whole presentation and there was nothing wrong with his juggling skills. Not that it has the slightest thing to do with how good a player is of course.

Is that his sister?

Fractured ears. Freak headphone accident.

During the presentation they said he had an operation yesterday to correct a couple of nasal fractures. An older one and one he'd gotten recently.

Do you mean the kid from Estudiantes? I can't remember his name either, but isn't he from Argentina?

Watching the whole presentation I actually started to feel sorry for Vermaelen with the number of times they showed that Dzeko goal from Digne's cross. :vermaelen:

I have a hard time seeing that happening to be honest. To me he looks far too lightweight to really thrive as our 9. He doesn't have Suarez's strength or tenacity, and without that physicality I can see him being crowded out and knocked off the ball far too easily. I hope I'm wrong if we sign...
