I'd take Medel at Arsenal as back up to Coquelin if we're not signing a first choice tbh

You would have said the same about Dortmund in 2010 or Atletico in 2012.

Things can change quickly in football, especially given how weak the competition behind Juventus is right now.

There's no comparison with Atleti at all. In 2012 they had won two Europa's in three years. Milan aren't even close to being as good, they could qualify sure, but there's no way they are going to improve quickly enough to challenge. Things can change quickly but they rarely, if ever, change that quickly. You seem to be suggesting that there's a reasonable chance of Milan jumping from 10th in Serie A to Champions League contenders in 3/4 years - at a time when the group of teams challenging for the CL is probably the most predictable it's been in years. You're kidding yourself.

Duncan Castles has become a parody of himself and it's not even funny anymore.

I always enjoy his attempts at hyping up Mendes clients on Twitter whenever they do anything vaguely noticeable. He's so biased to Mendes/Mourinho/Ronaldo it's almost laughable.

Is Bacca really that good?

He played against Newcastle a few years back and did nothing against Perch, Williamson, Tavernier, Anita & Ferguson.



Never forget that he got outshone by Sammy and Obertan.

He scored 28 in all competitions for Sevilla last year and he's got 7 in 20 for Colombia. He's probably not a world beater but he's pretty good.

We've sold Capoue to Watford. Don't know the fee but its a record deal for Watford. Hopefully Adebayor, Chiriches and Kaboul are next to leave.

Iker Casillas transfer rumor to FC Porto!!!

The player agente confirms wants Casillas wan'ts Porto and Porto want's Casilla, the problem is Real Madrid and the big salary of the GK.

Your text to link here...

IMO it would be a transfer of a still good player but not my kind of GK, and not what FC Porto needed.

Fernando to Samp a done deal. Would be a spectacular signing on FM.

None of us will ever have to worry about our clubs having a transfer embargo, we're allowed to negotiate with whoever we like! Incredible really.

Di Marzio says we're close to buying Darmian from Torino. Apparently he's a pretty good right back, never seen him play though.

Darmian is a good right back. Can also play right midfield but probably in a wing back role when he is playing in a 3-5-2.

Not really a transfer ban and more a ban of being able to register any new players. They can still freely buy players as normal.

A piss weak punish to be fair, they should have been banned completely from being able to sign anybody, period.

They should but it's kind of tricky to enforce that sort of thing properly. It's way easier to enforce a ban on player registration than on transfer negotiations.

Then they'd just make gentleman's agreements with players to move after the transfer ban is over.

Just let him go if he's continuing to act like a cunt. £40M/50M for him would be great business.

Honestly, if it wasn't Barca involved they'd have found a way to enforce it. But since they're the golden club and can basically go about doing anything they want an alternative "transfer ban" was delivered.

I'm still perplexed how their results for this season can be counted when they've effectively been fielding an ineligible player in Neymar. Without going above and beyond the rules and signing him in such a dodgy fashion, it could be argued he'd not be at the club at all.

Many other clubs have had Transfer bans and they've worked in the exact same way as Barca's, so there's isn't 'alternative' at all.

They aren't even transfer bans, they're registration bans.

Not my finest I admit, but when your post boils down to "they'd find a way if it wasn't Barca", without actually providing any ways FIFA might do that I'm not going to try too hard.

We've signed Alderweireld from Atletico. Quite pleased about that and hopefully having a friend playing next to him will help Vertonghen back to the form he showed 2 years ago. Obviously he has got a seasons worth of experience in the PL and he also knows Dembele, Chadli and Eriksen so settling in hopefully wont be too much of a problem for him.
