Marcus Alonso to Chelsea for £24m. Can't remember him being anything special at Bolton or Sunderland?

Another one from Real Madrid's Castilla. I know people rightfully go on about Barcelona's La Masia but Real don't really do much worse even though they usually don't provide their youngsters with many chances in the league.

 

True

I sense a change in Madrids policy now; a few are beginning to come through

a long way from La Masia but the Academy has produced some very good players for a long time.  Before the purpose of it seemed to be to raise money for the first team via player sales but in recent years there does seem to have been a shift. 

 

Think they've done very well from buy back clauses and loans. Vaqzuez,  Carvajal, Morata. Asensio is not from the academy but he looks a player.

Bristol City sign Gustav Engvall from IFK Gothenburg. 21 year old striker, paying under £2m for him. Can't say I remember seeing him play, but then I pay very little interest in most other teams in the Swedish league.

Villa clearly trying to buy the league here like.

 

They need to do something, clear they are not even competitive at this level. Think there may be a management change there before we get to the January window.

It was an Ironic comment based on supporters of other teams saying we're trying to buy the league when in fact other clubs are spending far more.

15 million for Kodija.... fucking hell....

 

Think he played against us.  Did he register with anyone?

 

I've never heard of him.

 

He did, can't remember Mick Lowes mentioning him too many times. He hasn't scored in 4 games this season if that's any indication of how good he is.

You see it quite often that a club will buy a player few have heard of that has been knocking in the goals at lower levels for a ridiculous amount. They've bought two players now in McCormack and this guy, who in theory should give them enough goals to get out of the division. Their big problems though may be at the other end of the pitch, they seem to be shipping a fair few. The new owner though has splashed the cash, got to hand it to him.
