So it appears imminent that Harry Maguire is off to United for at least £80m. Eighty fucking million for Harry Maguire. Utter lunacy.

How much did we pay for Rüdiger, about £30m, right? And I wouldn't swap the two.

For me it underlines just how good the timing is for our best set of youngsters ever coming to the age of breaking through.

United have to spend £130m on AWB and Maguire while we could be sitting here laughing with James and Christensen both for free if all goes well.

Zouma as well if he stays is basically a new signing.

I think a Brazilian winger named Everton Sousa is going to Arsenal. Apparently Atletico Madrid made a 35 mi offer, his club asked for more money and the spanish side gave up.

[nyikolajevics 2,698]

According to Sky, Trippier is on medical at Atletico Madrid, wtf?

[Special Juan 28,141]

Steve Bruce to Newcastle is done

Jealous of that actually.

as a gremio supporter (originally from POA), think he’s a cracking player. Good dribbler, pacy, and hard worker (strong mentality).

But the one thing that makes him a nightmare to play against is his shooting ability. Can score from anywhere.

And 40m makes it a steal.

Yes, if he can adapt in europe i think he can be a Sadio Mane level of player.

Lyon boss Sylvinho saying Fekir is leaving, saying it's best for both parties that he leaves ASAP.....Real Betis look odds to get him.

Luke McCormick has joined Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

The 20-year-old midfielder has progressed through the youth ranks at Chelsea and his move to New Meadow is his first loan spell

Looking forward seeing Ianis Hagi in action for Genk. Lot’s of big teams were after him..

Is the son of.. really that good?

His success has come in Romania after a failed spell with Fiorentina, so it's hard to judge where he's at.

A smaller set up might prove more beneficial at his age.

So far only hyped because of his father. If he wasn't Hagi's son he would be just one Romanian guy who was once played for Fiorentina Primavera, noone would've known him.

I think it happens many time. Justin Kluivert is overhyped because of his last name. It's like the whole world wants to see him making it.

Not really though, you are very very wrong, Ianis is head and shoulders the best player of his current generation, arguably the best one since the Golden generation of USA 1994. Everybody used to think he's hyped because he is Hagi's son but you must watch him play to see he is sooo good, hits the ball so clean with both feet and his hitting technique is so smooth. A pure no 10 with a great vision, for me the same playing style of Kevin de Bruyne only with a monster work rate. And he is a clever guy with a top education and 'big balls' on the pitch, not affraid to go into tackles and very charismatic, has a strong attitude. 

Hagi and Popescu (ex Barcelona captain) negociated for months the best deal/option for Ianis, Popescu said Barcelona and Man City made monster offers, but Barcelona wanted to loan him to Valladolid and City to loan him to some other team. 

Keep an eye on him, he's destined for great things, if not next summer, than the summer of 2021 he's off to a top team for big money. For me Genk is the best place now if they keep their attacking style like in the last season, Ianis going to simply thrive in that system.

That was indeed one of the decision makers for him. Playing style and also playing opportunities, 6 games in the Cl are a nice bonus.

I agree, he is not over-hyped, he is a really good young player.

Viitorul (Romanian for 'future') is Hagi's club with maybe the best football academy in Eastern Europe. They play, as I like to say, a 'disciplined gung ho' football, especially at home they are a joy to watch, young players born 2000, even 2001 dominating big clubs and creating tons and tons of chances. Hagi invested a lot of money in that academy but now it is a gold mine. Marin at Standard, now Ianis, you will see others joining Jupiler League in the coming years for sure. Stanciu and Chipciu in Anderlecht were frauds and everybody in Romania believed Anderlecht were fools to even get them, nevermind pay that money.

Plenty of talk about Ajax overpaying for Marin. It will be interesting to see if he can play a significant part in filling the void left by de Jong.
