I think there are a few others that could fall in that price bracket, but him and Pogba aren't. Teams willing to be held at ransom

He was playing in Ligue 2 before he joined Leicester, so I guess the majority hadn't even heard of him prior. I certainly wouldn't be against the though of him following Kante, but two of Pedro, Oscar or Kenedy would have to part way for it to make any sense.

Watch him be a different player for the next few weeks.

None of those clubs "need" him, but two of the three like to blow money for fun, while the other has a manager that has the wrong priorities.

He played as a CF at times during his spell at Leveruksen. The price is what's off about this deal. I would personally have Pierre over Benz, but doubt that would even happen with Zidane in charge.

There might be more to the move than we know. I personally expect Dortmund to lose one more big player, with Pierre being the likely candidate.

I wouldn't go rushing in to buy someone that hardly been a starter for Benfica, when we need a player to step right in that still has room for improvement.

Price and possibly other interest are the reasons. The club try to haggle far too often and Napoli aren't a side to budge on prices/clauses.

We need to put all our concentration on Koulibaly. He's the best that's available

Yep. That offside from a throw in. [emoji38]

Big dip compared to the 14/15 season. His lack of goals last season was one of the reasons Lyon never challenged for the title and just got CL footie due to beating Monaco late on.

There's nothing to say he won't follow the same fate. Giving Halilovic a chance to impress would have been a smarter more IMO. I guess they have money to burn like most of Europe.

That's crazy, if true. They sell Halilovic for €5m and pay that for him. Doesn't seem like smart business (regardless of any clause). Turan all over again?

Going for another striker a few years too late. [emoji17]

Same rumour going around once again. I really hope we stay well clear of him.

First win in preseason. Looked good at points and got the job done.

Iva starting again! [emoji25]

Don't field Iva or Mikel today and we should win comfortably. I expect to see Michy make his debut at some point tonight.

80m?! We aren't a Utd or City. We have some sense.

Using him as a makeweight for Griezmann would be perfect.

He seems to be at fault almost every match and is still here. I hope Conte sees the light soon enough.

Does he want to be wasted on the bench?

Thoughts go out to him.

Looks like he's staying put.

Him and Mikel have to go. Enough is enough!
