Saw some stat that at the Euros, out of the 40 something crosses he attempted only 1 was on target. Plus we wanted him to be a back up to Alba. Not sure why this is so laughable, he was was smart to not come to our bench and honestly don't think we really needed him.

Benatia to Juventus is a done deal, according to Di Marzio.

Bacca will give West Ham a final answer on Friday. He is waiting for Atletico who'll know on Thursday if they'll sign Diego Costa [Sky].

Leroy Sané has agreed to join Manchester City on a four-year contract. Transfer fee of around €50m. According to BILD

Inter are interested in Witsel (Sky)

If Sane goes to City Sad

Very bad move for Leroy Sané. He is still much to raw and will likely spend his valuable development time on the bench instead

by The Demon of Carthage Thu Jul 14, 2016 2:41 am

I respectfully disagree. Ronaldo went to United at 17 years of age and succeeded.

Sané at 20 is still a kid but this is the perfect time for him to make "the leap" to a more ambitious club and see what he's made of. I'd even go as far as to say that he should've made the move sooner.

Ronaldo went into a team of senoir players and leaders and the greatest manager of modern history...not the trash birthday cake crying plebs City employs

by Vlad the Impaler Thu Jul 14, 2016 4:17 am

With all the respect for City, they are known for the way they wasted talents, in comparison with Man United which was known worldwide for promoting youngsters.

Which proves my point. Ronaldo was very young when he moved to United, and even though their starting eleven was very difficult to break into, he eventually did it because he was talented enough to do so. Age is irrelevant as long as you have the talent to back it up.

I don't really disagree with you, but I believe you've left out an important thing. Pellegrini is gone and has since been replaced with Pep. Success may not come right away, but some things are bound to change for the better for them, mainly transfers.

Who will stop Sane from getting a look in? Raheem Sterling ?? Laughing

The lad will be an undisputed starter by Christmas, heck even before that.

As it stands if Inter don't move icardi on without champions league I think Inter will finish in the top 3 next season. Banega coming in was huge now imagine a banega-kondogbia-witsel midfield that's pretty good

Absolutely astonishing how with Pep going to EPL, all kinds of reasonable people suddenly start to regurgitate the laughable and long since disproven "Can he make it on a cold night in Stoke" argument.

Yeah, an example in particular changes everything and solves the equation. Plus, I won't even invest energy in explaining again what is already known about what happened with Pogba. Smile

Seems Barca are determined to sign one of Atletico's back-up forwards.

They have a verbal agreement with Vietto according to AS.
