My boss is a former Real Madrid season ticket holder from Madrid. Real Madrid soccer and basketball is about all he talks about.
M'baye Niang to Watford. Too inconsistent for my liking but I understand Watford taking a chance on a home run signing, he's got all the tools.
Payet agreed to take a 25k/week payout to go back to France. Don't think West Ham have agreed to a few tho
Hull giving up then it seems. That would almost be like Sunderland selling Defoe in this window, he is by far their best offensive player.
Hope so but not sure if Marseille are willing to pay what West Ham want. Hopefully they can get the deal done though.
Does he only want to go back to Marseille? I mean during the summer and especially the Euros it seemed like most of the elite clubs would've loved to sign him.
interesting signing. I heard a rumor that he might be shipped out but I didn't think it would happen and I definitely didn't see it happening to someone like Roma. he's a solid MF, nothing great, nothing disappointing.
I feel like he is being signed as a Nainggolan backup. Radja wants to play ever minute but he probably shouldn't.
I thought he was more attacking. Strootman, De Rossi, and Paredes rotate the 2 CM spots while Nainggolan plays more advanced.
Wouldn't be surprised if a Townsend to Newcastle deal were to happen. Lots of chatter that Mbemba could possibly go to Palace on loan as part of a deal.
That seems to be the case. He came out early this window and said he would only go to Marseille. Wanted to make sure West Ham couldn't start a bidding war. He never wanted to leave Marseille originally but the previous owners were broke and needed to get money or else they were going to be docked points in the league.
Marseille bid £25m for Payet. I expected he would get more. Good haul for them. Sucks for the Hammers.
Very happy with the window Marseille have had. Glad to see the new American owner is actually spending some money.
Decent enough profit IMO. Him being a bitch kind of decreased his value in the market, plus he will be 30 in March.
Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson having medicals at Sunderland right now. Because you can never have enough former Moyes players
Swansea will be sending Neil Taylor and 5mil pounds for Jordan Ayew. Ayew ready for another one at Swansea. Haha
Seems a little late to go with the Payet tactic by Ulloa, he probably would have fared better with that a week or two ago.
Moussa Dembele is in London, but Celtic claims is for a knee scan. Chelsea were keen on him but Celtic is asking for 40m pounds.
