If he were 19 or 20 I'd agree with you but since he's 17 he may still be better off training with BVB than playing for some lower division side. Plus BVB are in enough comps he may still get some game time.
Gotze schurrle and Reus playing together is the best case scenario to get them on the field in 2018 against sane, brandt, etc
Always knew he was gay. Now Leicester just have to decide to let him go. Ranieri said a week ago he wouldn't be sold
Does that 94m include whatever fee to break his contract that has been reported? What an absolutely ridiculous sum of money for him.
sport is reporting kevin gameiro is transferring from sevilla to barcelona. barça is more than likely done for the summer.
Looks like Swansea are finally coming to life. Reports of them bidding for Pritchard and Chadli from us, and putting together a bid to get Bony back.
Always liked Pritchard... We was a beast for Brentford a couple seasons ago. Bony belongs at Swansea....
Me too, really thought he'd have a chance to break through with us last season but an early ankle injury ruined any chance of that. Terrible loan to west brom seems to have sealed his fate. Wish we would put a buy back in if we sell him but I highly doubt we will. He could end up being very good but isn't going to get much time here this season. A move is best for him.
I honestly don't see why a team like Arsenal don't give Bony a shot. If Wenger isn't going to pony up for a top striker he could have Bony as a 2nd option to Giroud and he has a chance of really breaking out if given enough match time. Seems like a small risk with possible high reward situation if the price is right. Better than nothing, IMO. Now Wenger will probably drop a ton of cash on a striker.
Meh on Bony, think we'll make a panic signing though after fans revolt. Gazidis already has people up in arms with his ridiculous interview last week saying we should follow Leicester's lead and some more bullshit about not being able to compete with the big spenders even though we have the most cash reserves in the world.
I wonder if there's a connection between not spending money on the transfer market and having the world's largest cash reserves.

Joe Allen rivals James Milner in terms of boringness for me. Joe Allen is such a generic name. Sunderland should try to sign Adnan Januzaj. The only time he was ever any good was playing for Moyes.
Of all of the players Everton faced last season, he pissed me off more than anyone else. That match was bonkers. Shaqiri had that amazing goal. Everton's players all looked to be in disbelief after he scored that.

And buying none of them until the end of the window it seems, very Redknapp era Tottenham. All we need is Koeman giving the latest news from a Range Rover window. Surely they have to start spending all this money they are supposed to have sooner or later?
He has a buyout clause. He and his agent (his brother) are at Stoke right now, per the guys, renegotiating a higher contract that would remove the buyout clause.
Sounds like Higuian to Juve is official. Is it possible they are strengthening the side to keep Pogfam in Turin?
I don't think they have that kind of money without selling pogfam but who knows. Higuian number for a 28 year old is insane
Still 10 good years left in Italy, lmbo. With Dybala already on the team though it makes spending that much money on another striker a bit of a head scratcher, they'll never be able to recover a good portion of that fee.
Napoli is really the only team anywhere close to Juventas in Serie A right now and the negative impact it will have on Napoli will be more significant than the positive one for Juve. Someone on Napoli's board might be sleeping with the fishes soon. Furio from the Sopranos does not approve of this transfer.
