Blues Forever

Additional leak from Der Spiegel on Sule: As evidence for the alleged false claim in the trial files from Lokurlu's side is quoted, among other things, from WhatsApp messages from Süle. On November 12, 2018, he wrote to Lokurlu: "Check the offers from England if anyone wants me there." And further: "If someone says he would take me from the big clubs let me know," "Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea but preferably Manu", i.e. Manchester United. "Seriously?" asks Lokurlu. Süle: "Yes dead serious". And later: "Okay super Murat would be top if you get this moving". One day later Lokurlu contacts Süle. He had been in contact with Manchester United and Chelsea, both were interested. A meeting with Manchester United was finally arranged for November 29. "Thanks Murat," Süle wrote afterwards, "Super that will be awesome." 2019 then another attempt. Late in the evening of October 4, Süle wrote via WhatsApp to Lokurlu: "Do you know someone from Tottenham?". Three days earlier, Süle had played with Bayern Munich in the Champions League at the London club Tottenham Hotspur, result: 7:2 for Munich. The adviser answered in the affirmative, saying that he was on the phone regularly with a decision-maker at the club. Süle: "I want to Tottenham such an awesome club". And shortly after: "London nice city stadium fans brutal".

Der Spiegel claimed Werner signed a pre-contract with Bayern. In the summer of 2020, Timo Werner moved from RB Leipzig to London. But according to a report by "SPIEGEL", he is said to have already signed a contract with FC Bayern during the 2018/19 season. This is said to have been terminated again afterwards. From a brief, which is available to the "SPIEGEL" and according to which is to be the subject of a court dispute at the Regional Court of Mosbach (Baden-Württemberg), it emerges: That Werner was to move from RB Leipzig to the German record champion on July 1, 2020. This burst transfer was made public by a million-dollar dispute between the two advisors Karlheinz Förster (63) and Murat Lokurlu (45), which is to be heard in court on September 28. The internationals Timo Werner and Niklas Süle (26/Bayern) are involved in this dispute. Lokurlu claims to have been a partner in the handling of Werner's transfer to Chelsea. With regard to Werner, the trial documents state that "Timo Werner had already quietly and secretly signed a temporary employment contract ... with FC Bayern Munich in the meantime at the urging of the plaintiff (Förster, editor) - the player was not too keen on this." The Werner advisor at the time and ex-national player Förster had accordingly urged the striker to take the step. As the SPIEGEL writes, Werner, after he had "reluctantly signed", learned that the then Bayern coach Niko Kovač and sports director Hasan Salihamidžić were against a commitment. The contract had the then still ruling president Uli Hoeneß arranged Timo Werner and FC Bayern München left inquiries from SPIEGEL on this unanswered. A lawyer for Förster wrote that his client does not "in principle" urge customers to sign contracts.

No, he only struggled during the first season under Sarri.

Madrid could pay but i think they prefer to use that money for Haaland and Kounde.

€150m release clause in 2022, very unlikely Juve will sell below that unless De Ligt want to leave.

Chelsea made an attempt this summer to sign Marquinhos, and were ready to offer up to €100m. Marquinhos and PSG said no. PSG ambitions in the transfer market have convinced the player to continue with the club.

Werner also isn't exactly a winger. Best to use him up front along with Lukaku.

I don't know how Tuchel keep ignoring both Werner and Chilwell lol.

So lucky it's still 0 - 0.

Get Werner and one of Chilwell or James on.

Just wrong selection from Tuchel, hope he will correct that after HT.

I will probably sub both Azpi and Mount at HT.

Tbf Mount hasn't been good since Euro Final.

Still no Chilwell lol.

Vidic would only have a lot of trouble in a possession based football. Place Vidic in correct system like Juve/Atletico and he would be a monster.

You could make an argument about Baresi, but Nesta and Maldini already played in the modern game. Are you also going to say the likes of Stam, Carvalho, Ferdinand, Vidic, Cannavaro, Lucio, and Puyol wouldn't have half the impact today?

No direspect to Silva, but Nesta Maldini, and Baresi were on whole another level.

Just shocking debut, probably among the worst i have seen in recent time.
