massi and foye sitting in a tree... :lol: you two are the cutest couple of realgm.

while disappointed, that hummels, ilkay and mikhi are leaving dortmund, i am more than satisfied withe transfer fees watzke is collecting. the signings so far seem to be quite good and probably will pan out in the long run. i really feel like we need more established players on this squad. you can't win with just a youth team. you need a good mix.
too many urkels on your team, that's why your wins low

dembele and mor are great transfers especially for 25 million, leicester willing to pay that amount for a 28 year old striker that only had one top level season in his career.

lets hope dortmund can keep them around for their second contract

Do you have an inside man at Leicester too?

Mor is so overrated. De Bruyne > Mor

So is Mendy signing this week or next?

How many Leicester players have they had to sell this season and how many have they bought.

Gala must be jealous.

Mor will be a top player, no arguments here. Can't think of anywhere better than Dortmund for his development.

De Bruyne was very inconsistent for City last season, but injuries don't help. He had a stretch where he looked great and City were firing as a result, but after he went down injured they lost a bit of shine. He couldn't recapture that spark after his return.

btw, Di Marzio reporting Spurs are trying to sign Icardi. Wasn't this guy considered reliable not long ago? Great player but I don't see Inter selling, and I don't think it's a realistic Spurs target unless we plan on switching to two up top. Sounds like silly season nonsense.

Sometimes you sound knowledgeable and then sometimes you say things like this.

wenger wrote:"Of course I know him[Kante]. You look at his career and you will be amazed. Because he played in Suresnes in Paris at the age of nine, 10 years old. After he went to Boulogne as an amateur. They didn't want to sign him pro. One of my best friends in life knows him since he was 10 years old, and he spoke to me about him.


yup, i was right yet again.

Di Marzio has been pretty bad the last couple of years. Throws a lot of stuff out and hopes it sticks.

Kevin De Bruyne is an awful player. You'll see. Time will tell.

So Meunier to PSG and Batshuayi to Chelsea are official.

Weird.

Rumblings of Juan Mata to Everton. Strange one, don't see it happening because his wage demands will probably be massive. If Koeman plays him in his proper position that could be a good signing though.

Sounds like Valencia want him back as well.
