Boateng has European 'eritage and is a WeltMeister.

Isnt Toby the same age as him too ?

by Firenze Wed May 30, 2018 12:08 pm

6 months younger but my point was that Toby is a proven PL monster, Boateng is obviously good but had a forgettable stint in the PL. Wouldn't take that risk on someone nearing 30 who would cost big money.

Nope. You're wrong. He'd cost MUCH less than Toby. You can ask @Hans.

He had a forgettable stint in the PL at the age of 20 where the Sheikhs were busy playing FIFA career mode. Seems legit.

Laughable, Ozil is a scrub, wouldn't want him playing for my local team.

All I said is he's talented, which is absolutely irrefutable.

Everything else is irrelevant to the discussion about Eriksen lacking top end talent.

The only thing that's laughable is your ability to read.

Diogo Dalot to Manchester United almost a done dealio - BBC

Madrid and Barca wanted him a year ago

Portuguese fans think he's a future hall of famer

unreal coup, gonna be Valencia's understudy though so that's sure to stunt his growth

Toby will likely end up costing 50-60m. I can't imagine Boateng going for less than 45 in this market.

Let's remember Van Dijk just went for 80m.

Eriksen's got it all, he is a complete player for offensive tasks. Both feet, free kick taker and versatile. If he doesn't succeed in a top club i don't know who will.

Ozil is a bidone

Ozil would be the best Serie A player probably.

by S Wed May 30, 2018 12:22 pm

Premier League market is incredibly inflated.

It's not the same as trying to buy a player from the Bundesliga. If the player wants to leave, Bayern will make sure to facilitate a move to wherever he wants to ago although knowing you, you'd probably bid 80M before they could even begin to ask for 40 Laughing

Spurs are asking the same money than southampton asked for VVD, 80 millions euros.

If you get the chance to sign Boatang for 40 you go for it it's a no brainer.

welcome to madrid lad

also, selling veteran players like vidal o thiago whatchu doing brother Hans?

Don't you know? There's no place in our team for players like Boateng, Vidal or Thiago now that we're getting a bunch of Bundesfodder scrubs like Kevin Vogt to complement our random unproven midlevel youngsters Goretzka, Tolisso etc

Lichtsteiner close to sealing his move to Arsenal on a 1 season contract - Fabrizio Romelto

alright, I criticized it before because I thought he would be getting a two year contract or something, for a season he's alright cover and provides title winning 'eritage. Good role model for the Arsenal melts.

I always rated that Vogt lad on Fifa in my Bundesliga sides, good replacement from Bayern if it happens

by Hapless_Hans Wed May 30, 2018 12:39 pm

Lads

relax

If Boateng leaves, which won't happen IMO, he won't go for less than 80-100m, and City, or Real, or Barca, will gladly pay.

Everyone gets injured for Bayern tbf, they need to stop taking the moral high ground and use roids like everyone else tbh.

Had a forgettable stint because Mancini played him mostly as a right back when he should have been partnering Kompany instead of Lescott.

Sad thing is that even then he was depth to Zabaleta and Micah Richards.

Understandably he got "homesick" very quickly.

Not a chance.

First time he gets rotated he'll want a move to Hertha Berlin.

Joao Santos (ag. Jorginho) to TMW: "We know that an offer from Manchester City has reached Napoli... we are waiting for a response from the Azzurri, who don't seem to have rejected the offer. If Napoli find an agreement with City, we'll go from there."

you are high if you think we would spend 80-100 mil on a 29 years old injury prone player that Asensio has retired.

so city cut down the asking price by like 10 mil? That's what happens to players who have no market and are priced higher than market

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed May 30, 2018 1:11 pm

Be interested to see him at City tbh, seems like a weird signing when it comes to fit.

He's obviously a very good player though, that's immediately obvious.

by Firenze Wed May 30, 2018 1:18 pm

He looked good when I saw him play, admittedly that's a small sample size. Needs to show it in the PL, but I think he will fit in well. Good price if it's accepted too in today's market, when you have Lazio wanting 100m for SMS ffs.

by Luca Wed May 30, 2018 1:20 pm

Why do you say that mole? Because he lacks the physicality for playing CM at City?

I think he's a very good fit in a Pep scheme. His passing ability is his strongest quality after all

I figured this deal stalled more so because of Ancelotti than Jorginho, I still expect him to move though

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has been asked to pay a total of €28m to avoid a criminal trial for tax evasion, say reports in the Spanish press.

Facing possible 8 years if it goes to trail and he is found guilty. Rumor that he is upset that Madrid won't pay for it through a signing bonus on a new contract/extension. This would explain his mood after the CL Final.
