By Laboured Go To PostCan't believe RM have stolen Sandro from under Everton's nose.The Sandro that played earlier tonight against Italy? Holy shit was he annoying, seemed like a stupid player as well. I lost count how many times he hit a defender trying to shoot while there was at least 2 better options.

He had a great season though, 14-15 goals'ish, 1 even against Barcelona :)
Great get by Lyon, they know what's up.
Hope to see him back in a few years, dude is a champion. He's going to terrorize teams in the Europa league next season.

I wish Red Bull would just sell us Keita instead of letting him go to Bayern next year when his release clause kicks in.
Surely strengthening Liverpool is a better prospect than a league rival?

I wish more Bundesliga clubs would sell outside of Germany, but I imainge a lot of players want to stay in Germany.
By Oddinho Go To PostI wish Red Bull would just sell us Keita instead of letting him go to Bayern next year when his release clause kicks in.No, there's national pride in having one club dominate with a shot at European glory. Why else would they allow all the talent to settle at one club?

By LFMartins86 Go To PostIf he does that, he is an idiot.That's way too harsh.
Go get your money, Auba
By Cleff Go To PostWhewFuck I'd go take that deal. Set for life.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostIf he does that, he is an idiot.That's life changing money even for someone already earning millions and millions a year.
Go on Auba lad, do it.

Really intense peice of work
Morata's misus >>> Perez
By FootbalIFan Go To PostThat's life changing money even for someone already earning millions and millions a year.He could probably get a third of that in Europe while still playing at an high level.
Go on Auba lad, do it.
Now he will be a rich guy but without little impact on football.
No one will recognise him as a top player as he is playing on crap league.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostIf he does that, he is an idiot.Not really. I mean his wish of Madrid is not gonna happen. So what's left? The chances of winning the CL with Dortmund is pretty slim, and that's just an absurd amount of money for someone that's most likely going for the last contract.
Of course I would rather keep him and have a top striker for a few years. These sums are just beyond madness though. So I wouldn't blame him.
However, I don't think it's gonna happen. Would be pretty weird since the club is already on the verge of signing Modeste from Cologne. Why would you sign two strikers?
By Punished Go To PostFinally got round to seeing Hypernormalisation. What a film.Did you get a St. Vincent ticket?
Yikes, didn't know Michael Nyqvist was ill
By Pennywise Go To PostHowever, I don't think it's gonna happen. Would be pretty weird since the club is already on the verge of signing Modeste from Cologne. Why would you sign two strikers?maybe they (the club) mixed up the two. racism innit
Oh, and it wouldn't be 80M but 160M€ because they would need to pay the same amount to a fund for the Chinese federation.
By Punished Go To PostThink of all the wood pellets you can get with £1bn.
They're gonna spend that £1bn on a laser that shines these flags onto the moon.
And you'd get £1.6bn back too!
By Cleff Go To PostWhewMother fucks! That's our Costa money!!
Listening to Darkness on the Edge of Town a lot lately. Anyone got any other Springsteen recommendations? Not too familiar with his albums, only the hits.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostThink of all the wood pellets you can get with £1bn.Use the pellets for the bonnies and you have a perpetual money maker.
And you'd get £1.6bn back too!
By Elchele Go To Postmaybe they (the club) mixed up the two. racism innitKicker and Ruhrnachrichten both reported that the only remaining interest was the chinese club.
I expected that the interest was gone with the Modeste deal almost done. Modeste is alot cheaper and despite not being on Aubas level, he's still good enough for plenty of goals in that league. Not like you need Aubameyang to illustrate the lacking quality of these teams/defenders.
By GQman2121 Go To PostMother fucks! That's our Costa money!!Costa would've gotten way more, just saying.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostOh, and it wouldn't be 80M but 160M€ because they would need to pay the same amount to a fund for the Chinese federation.That isn't in effect yet, as far as I remember. That's why they're pushing the signing of Modeste.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostOh, and it wouldn't be 80M but 160M€ because they would need to pay the same amount to a fund for the Chinese federation.I believe it might be even more than that because there's a further inflated % charged to foreign wages as well.
The dream of China is well and truly over for most. 😓
By Lupercal Go To PostCosta would've gotten way more, just saying.I think the rumors were near that figure. That's why I thought of him.

Born In The U.S.A., Nebraska, The River, Born To Run are all great and you should listen to them.
Also smh at aubameyang if he goes to the china league.
Yeah because they're complete. Believe m8

Catglue seems like it's going to happen. Can't say I know much about him other than that he knows how to hit that ball when it's not moving.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostHe could probably get a third of that in Europe while still playing at an high level.30m a year is a massive difference to 10m a year
Now he will be a rich guy but without little impact on football.

By Pennywise Go To PostThat isn't in effect yet, as far as I remember. That's why they're pushing the signing of Modeste.Came into effect June 19th according to Sky Sports.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostTrue, but it does provide for your family for generations.
So does the money he is making now.
Like, we gunna pretend 10m is nothing?
A couple or even few millions more just doesnt make that much of a difference past a certain threshold. Where it starts to boil down to a choice between two countries or two clubs
But then there's 30 million a year
That's a fucking staggering amount. I'd sell my balls for 30 million
Oh PLEASE, I can just buy cheaper ones later.
