Fabian Ruiz, stop it!

Kroos nee pace.

Why take Yamal off?

I pray he has good health. Got the mind to match his skills. Terrifying prospect.

Lovely goal. Great awareness and head up play from Yamal.

Yeah, maybe being harsh. Seems like the game is going to be one he'll need to get a handle on early. Just worried he's going to blow it. Hopefully not though.

The state of Rudiger there

Anthony Taylor is going to ruin this game isn't he ...

Damn ... Pedri done for already.

Kimmich against Nico is not going to end well for Germany.

Chelsea are so weird man. Despicable bunch.

Yeah, really like him. Never clocked on to his positional versatility though, as I wasn't paying that close attention. Just seen him scoring some great goals and passing the ball all over. Wish we'd explore the South American market more. How Norwich just picked someone like this up so easily, while in the Championship, is astonishing to me.

I'm bored ... so doing some scouting work for the club, as they hit me up in the DMs. Didn't realise how often Gabriel Sara had played on the right. Left footed. Great versatility for positions that work in our system too. Another boy from Brazil? Was class in the Championship with Norwich. 13 goals and 12 assists. Surely someone picks him up?

Coming back from the injury I guess they'll integrate him back in slowly. But he can fill in any of the back 4 positions, or in midfield.

Don't think he will leave. However, if so, that left hand side will have a lot more options to pick from than the right.

Just bored I think. No other action to discuss.

Nice pickup. Mimicks the Gvardiol signing Man City made last summer. Sorts out Zinchenko at left back, who has been dodgy defensively. Arsenal with 4 centre backs at the back now too.

Interesting. Name might have come up during discussions. Good spot.

Talk of who AC Milan are looking to replace Thiaw with, which seems significant. https://football-italia.net/pavlovic-for-milan-if-thiaw-joins-newcastle/

I'd get that Bobby Clark back too.

I'd say probably £80 million with add ons based off of his performance and the team's performance too.

That's the kind of player he went for first, whether realistic or not. If he preferred am Mbuemo type, he would have gone for that first.

Don't think it has. Some strange goings on there for sure.

Priority target was Olise though.

At Barca he was stuck behind Messi, Dembele and Griezman, which is why they loaned him out. And that Wolves team he joined was ugly. And he ended up in and out of the team from what I remember. Been really good the last two years at Sporting and is now 24. Think he's now coming into his own. Was too young and inexperienced to be written off for his time at Barca and Wolves IMO.
