Speaking of Torino; what happened to Belotti? Was he just a one-season wonder? Or is he good but loves Torino or something?

He is also injury prone to be fair. In and out of the team.

He had very good season in a struggling side. Last season he struggled himself, but Torino is much better side actually than this season showed, they might be up for EL spots again next season.
I'm fairly sure they'd be a number of clubs interested below 80mill. It's also not for the buyer to adjust the valuation due to economic events what shit logic is that. We'll no doubt pay around 80 with add ons upto 120.What a load of shite. £80m we would bite their hand off.
£50m offer

Exactly it’s not up to the buyer to determine what the selling club will accept, the whole point is to negotiate a transfer. It’s so bizarre to me when people criticise Villa for pricing Grealish out of a move - “£80m is ridiculous they should accept X amount” - no they have to do what’s in their best interests as a club not what suits the team looking to sign their captain. £80m is more than likely posturing but just like Dortmund they’re fully entitled to play whatever game they can that will lead to the best fee they can get and if they don’t receive an offer which they deem acceptable then we don’t have a divine right to sign their players. All we can do is use our own bargaining position to drive down the price to benefit ourselves.

Lyon may have a decent squad on paper but they were no where near top 3 last season at least. Even after changing manager they struggled, though not as badly as the start of the season. Not sure Andersen really pulled up any trees last season either. Not saying it's true, but it is possible the player just prefers Italy having previously played there. Not sure on Lyon's financial situation but they'll miss out on European football next season so perhaps they need money too.
To the tune of Chi Lites ('70s pop-soul)
Stones - out of their mind.
West Ham going

That's a shame. David Luiz and John Stones would be the greatest comedy duo of all time.
Robbie would become a billionaire by October.

I thought he wanted Phil Jones if they stayed up?

Careful. He'd then buy Arsenal and probably make them good, flushing all that money down the drain.
That Upamecano announcement is pure cringe.

Upamecano's contract has a new release clause of €50m that's only active next summsr. Does that mean that anybody can sign him for any amount this window?
I imagine it means he's agreed to play 1 more year at a higher wage and then he goes next summer
Lille could choose to sell for any amount this summer, all it means is that next year if they receive an offer of 50 million or more, they have to allow him to speak to the club.
Similar to what they did with Werner
I can't imagine Leipzig being happy about that...mega-lol
That’ll go down well with Mourinho
Why are we linked to Gabriel instead of Kabak? I would take Kabak over Gabriel, left foot regardless.
Not convinced with South American central defenders - Are there any really great ones in recent history apart from Thiago Silva and Godin? The next one I can think of is Walter Samuel?
If Liverpool decided against getting Werner, instead shifting their focus to getting in a midfielder and defender, I would say they’ve made the right decision. If they end up signing Kabak and Thiago, and both hit the ground running, Liverpool would have done extremely well.

Bruh, clearly our club didn’t get the memo on Kabak
Deigo Godin comes to mind.
Godin.
Kabak's price tag is also 30m, just 5m more than Gabriel.Bruh, clearly our club didn’t get the memo on Kabak
Gimenez is also very good for A. Madrid.
Lucio, Walter Samuel, Ayala, Godin to name a few. But I agree there’s rather few.
Apologies, I was talking about Gabriel in another thread!
Someone needs to drop off the memo since Ed probably doesn’t check his emails.
This needs the Michael Jackson popcorn gif.
I haven’t really followed him, to be honest. I know he’s highly rated, and I wonder if his injuries would prevent him from reaching his full potential. Perhaps we should be looking at young Uruguayan central defenders? Godin, and Gimenez...
Aye, thanks. Forgot about Ayala and Lucio!
Gabriel might be good, I don’t know. I haven’t bothered watching YouTube compilations of him. I have watched a fair few Schalke games though so I am more familiar with him.
Yes injuries have been an issue for Gimenez, and could prevent him from reaching his potential. While I get your notion, where a player comes from hardly plays a role in how good he could become. Lots of great players in different positions from different countries, and there's always a first.
Gimenez played only 21 league games and 4 in CL this season so no idea why he should be worth €120m. Doesn't look like he's that important for Simeone.
