Top players could go and play in the Moldovan league for all I care, tbh. Ligue 1 produces endless amounts of talent every year that gets raided by foreign clubs. Some external financial backing takes a player the other way and Barca's worldwide fanboys are having a whinge about how unfair it is.

not a chance Leipzig and Hoffenheim finished 2nd and 4th in the Bundesliga last year. Two clubs who were founded about 10 minutes ago and riding entirely on corporate investment. It's like MK Dons and Fleetwood being 2nd and 4th in England. Overrated league just because of Bayern and the fact you can have a bevvy in the stands.

Aboubakar Kamara has chosen #47 at Fulham. So he can be known as AK-47.

Speaking of players who spend most of their time out on loan, Michael Hector (25) is enjoying some career:

Palermo played 3-5-2, 4-3-1-2 (one of the 3 dropping in as a CB) or variations of this system when he was there. This means he was always played as a left midfielder or wing-back rather than a full back in the traditional sense. In that context his signing never made sense. Not even like he could have played further forward, as the wide player in a 4-2-3-1 is a very different role too. Either he was signed without proper scouting or we wrongly thought he could adapt to a new position.

Aye, one from the glorious Deila regime

Diame is intolerably shit. I had almost forgot over the summer.

Pretty sure Volkswagen have stopped pumping as much money into Wolfsburg since the emissions scandal.

Atsu today

Definitely should. They play great football.

Which one? How many Lomana Lualua's do you know? Kazenga? Lomana? (spelling?) I have to say this comfortably the stupidest post I've ever seen on this forum.

Lomana Lua Lua is training with South Shields

Far as I'm aware you're allowed unlimited international loans, as they're seen as actual transfers.

I think striker and a keeper too. If we're lucky perhaps another midfielder/winger, but would really depend on shifting bodies. It'll be enough to keep us up, but we'll be back to Rafa vs Ashley next summer with increased intensity.

I can't see Atletico letting Correa go before Vitolo and Costa arrive in January. That's if they're even considering letting him go at all.

I'm not sold on Lucas Perez but he can probably play in behind a striker too from what I saw last season, which would be handy.

That's that one ruled out then.

Was widely reported as a 4 year deal at the time, but we did announce it as a 'long term deal' - which could mean .com are right. Surely we didn't give the fucker 6 years.

Riviere's until 2020. Nah, gone next summer. Joined a 4 year deal in 2014. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-riviere/profil/spieler/61637

The real issues are De Jong and Saivet, who are here until 2020 and 2021 respectively

FFS, just sick Riviere and Haidara in the reserves. They're gone next year anyway. Even if they move we'll be subsidizing their wages so the saving is probably completely minimal.

Mitrovic genuinely looks a quality #9 for Serbia, which is the puzzler. I mean so was Zigic, like, but point still stands.

Gaddafi's son is basically best friends with Jay Bothroyd as well. edit:

Gaucci the bloke was off his head
