    Paulinho to Leverkusen apparently a done deal, will be cool to see him in Bundesliga.

    Also: Jerome Boateng with a telling interview, said he's at the point where he's experienced everything at Bayern and has to ask himself whether it's time for a new club and experiences.
    Would give a leg to the de Ligt thing.

    One of the best centre backs/right backs.

    Also Marco Asencio is becoming a star.

    Manchester Evening News saying Bayern and Barca will battle it out for Martial, Tuttosport also mentioning Emre Can as a target.

    Can would only make sense if we let Vidal and Rudy go imo. Martial can play on the wings or succeed Lewandowski.

    They treating him like a superstar now which he is not.

    He could be pretty good but there are better players in the PL now.

    United is ruining players.

    Martial is 5'11, how is that succeeding Lewan? That height is only wing material not Centre Forward.

    You gotta be finding the new Kane or at least a Suarez type instead of hoarding wing players.

    He is a forward and played at that position in his youth and at Monaco, ManU is not utilizing him right. Check his games from the Monaco tenure, he's one of those versatile strikers like Henry, Aguero, Suarez etc that excels with his great touch and finishing ability.

    I am not sure because if you say so then he doubled his scoring output playing winger in Manchester in 30 more games.... which makes no sense.

    He seemed to score slightly more in the Premier league than in the French league playing at an inferior position?

    It's hard to compare him to Aguero or Suarez yet as he has not been a goal machine just yet.

    If he bulks up to play at C he would lose some of his speed which actually made him relatively renowned.

    Well, you could claim you said it first, I dun want to shut the door on that option either but I am very cautious.

    But if it were me, I'd rather lose Rashford than Martial at this point, but the English are prouder of their own players.

    Admittedly Rashford has a better upward trajectory.

    I'm ready for us to sell Lewandowski, if someone is insane enough to pay 100M. Let's get Timo Werner and someone else.

    Some updates:
    Paulinho to Leverkusen done deal, just made official.

    Iniesta leaving Barca after the season, just did a press conference.

    PSG coach Emery announced he's leaving after the season.

    wonder where can will end up. i know the spanish teams want him. i don't know why lfc don't want him. he seems very serviceable within the system. or is it the other way around? but lfc's success at the cl should attract people if anything. plus who wouldn't want to play with mo james harden salah?

    I always think of kicking the can......

    Bayern is probably a good fit.
