    I dunno man, that doesn't sound like great decision by him & his agent imo. Financially yeah it's a good decision but he's more than likely going to sit behind Kasper and maybe see action in only cup games. But then again, I guess that's what Ter Stegen is doing and he is in the German squad.

    More money + cup game action and still in the German squad(for Ter Stegen)? Maybe I'm wrong and it's actually a good move.:confused:

    Many people think it indicates Kasper being sold soon, we'll see.

    How good is Bartra? Barca apparently did the same stupid thing as with Thiago and didn't play him enough, so the buyout clause went from 40mil to 8mil. BVB apprently one of the front-runners.

    Marc is good but he's not going to come close to delivering the other creative skills that our other defenders have. He's like 2 years of consistent play away from maybe being very good.

    It's going to be a challenge to bring in someone from the outside though. I'm still holding out hope for Bellerin.

    Not good enough for Barca, unfortunately. He'll probably end up at a mid-tier type of team.

    Barca has a buy-back option though.

    They won't be using it for at least 3 years.

    First reports were wrong, there's apparently no buy-back option. Nice deal.

    A great team with a lot of talents can afford to let great talents rot on the bench

    Other teams would kill to get those

    Barca looking to trigger Pjanic's buyout clause, would be a nice transfer.

    Vardy to Arsenal will be announced today or tomorrow. Sucks for Leicester, the buyout-clause is only 20mil.

    Friend of mine met Jurgen Klopp in San Francisco last night. He said he's there scouting, maybe Higuain?

    Bailly to United. Villarreal made a nice chunk of change on only a year and a half investment. Anyone know much about him? All I know is he is a physical specimen but a little raw when it comes to positioning and other technical aspects.

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to ManCity, seems like its going to happen. Perfect fit in my opinion. They needed a guy as versatile as this guy is. He's in his prime, I think 50MM is a little much for him though, the guy hasn\t had a long history of success.
