Aulas: "Reine-Adelaide is closer to Hertha than Rennes. Umtiti won't come to Lyon. Arsenal's offer of €35m is too low and wants between €40m - €50m for Aouar. No offer from Barca for Depay."

tbf, that Arse offer of 35m euros for Aouar was from weeks ago, but twitter re-upped it and made it seem like a new one

Bid rejected: Arsenal will struggle to land midfield star after offer of €35m + a player is REJECTED

Lets see how Dias does in PL.

KK, Gimenez, Kounde... They got their 4th choice CB.

£65m for Dias is madness

 

What City is doing specifically in the transfer market in relation to defenses is not normal and it seems to me that it has very little to do with football.
I'll try to explain.

In the Guardiola era they spent € 545 million between defenders and goalkeepers. In 4 years.
It is important to note that this phenomenon started earlier, with cases such as Mangala, among many others.

Of those 545 million euros, they didn't buy any world-class players, few players performed well.
And in most cases they were bought well above their market price.

Look at the strange movements of Danilo, Cancelo, or now Dias. All by Jorge Mendes.

And who doesn't know how dirty Mendes is, doesn't know anything about football today, unfortunately.

Mendes is a strategic ally and very close to the current president of benfica, who has elections at the door and is highly criticized, this transfer will help him a lot.

City could have bought any other player that offers a lot more guarantees and has more quality, once again burning a fortune in the worst option available, it has to be said that a lot of people make money from these movements within the clubs too.

It is something that is rarely talked about, but that just doesn't know who doesn't want it, ...

Having said all of this, you should also be aware that everything points out that Guardiola should not continue in Manchester and that this situation, like many other things, will already be indifferent to him.

I think his head is no longer there.
And who knows, he may also earn a few million extra with all these obscenities.

Welcome to modern football.

From our reserves to PSG's bench to Spain's second division...

It's a loan, right?

Not a bad idea for a 20yo keeper to get experience out on loan, he was never going to become first choice at PSG (or at Chelsea) right away. And even on a loan there probably aren't many top division clubs who are willing to take a gamble on someone with that little experience so a Segunda club sounds about right for his level.

He signed a 5-year contract and then went out on loan.

Fair point but did he not leave us because he wanted to play? Instead, he just traded our reserves for another team's bench and then went out on loan (to a second division side at that), which would have happened anyway had he stayed with us.
