I’m sure Tommy Tuchel will be nice and understanding about this. Should be a fun season.

German transfer window is closed.I mean as you've got 60m burning a hole in your pockets
Ha ha... Not worried about the group stages. It's the play offs I'm not worried.See you in the CL. Hopefully during a congested fixture period
2 players, Pavard and Gravenberch, left without replacements.
On the other hand I don't understand Fulham. Palhinha was desperate to join Bayern, he already was in Munich and even got pictures taken in a Bayern shirt.
Will be interesting to see how he will react to this disappointment.
I'm going to bet on a Palhinha red card next game
He really is, stunning off the ball but legitimately very poor in posession.
Oh dear 
Darn, well maybe Bayern can buy him now in prep for him to come in and drive you to success from January. Some signings are worth waiting for.German transfer window is closed.
If the clubs didn't had reached an agreement, Palhinha would not be sent to Germany to make medical exams. The fee was reached: Fulham would get the 80M they wanted with add-ons, and getting 65M on immediate. When a player travel to make medical exams it's the final part of the deal. Usually the transfer is cancelled after medical exams by the buyer club because the player fails to meet the physical requirements. And he already made the photoshoot for Bayern website, ffs
They just failed to get a replacement player and pulled the plug, and I understand why they did it. But IMO they should had only authorized Palhinha to go there after they had everything set.
So ridiculous, I wonder how much Palhina's running numbers are about to drop.
You'd have to imagine Palhinha is professional enough to not let this affect his game - but that's got to really sting.
Sounds like they wanted McT but McT didn't want to go to Fulham?

4D chess by us, refused to sell McTominay to Fulham, so Bayern are easier to face in the Champions League group stages.
Queue Goretska to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford
The way it is being reported seems to suggest it was McTominay who didn't want to go more than us not wanting to sell.
Good. Get him to join us now
I think Hojberg rejected them and we wouldn’t sell McT to them.
I guess it’s the risk you run when the bud only arrived yesterday/today.
You will get him in the Jan window so he’ll be there for the KO stages.
McT + £10m. With him, Amrabat and Casemiro no one is scoring past us.
Now he may have a poor season and his value may drop massively.
So they failed to sign him?
German efficiency.
Suppose they ran out of time after chasing Kane for 2 months.

Him instead of Mount. Shame.
He is not in Fulhams squad today as far as i can see, right?
Of course City get to play Fulham without him.
Probably best. He was in Munich as of yesterday evening and his morale must be very down on top of that.
I just meant that maybe having someone pushing him a bit might keep him going. Swear, this forum is just so snipey these days
Palhinha‘s brother just posted this:
Bayern’s president Hainer also just said in an interview „you always meet twice in life“. The same was mentioned by CEO Dreesen before the Bundesliga match against Gladbach. I guess Bayern will try again in the winter to sign him.

I quite like this theory.
I feel a little bit bad for the player because it must be do demoralising. But, it's Bayern Munich, and they have things easy enough as it is. So...feck 'em. I'm sure they can raid Dortmund or Leverkusen for a replacement in January.
Signed a new Contract.

Strange one.
Based on the reports last week it seemed a simply case of just get his head down and play for Fulham next few months and then he'd get his dream move to Bayern in five months time.
Not bad effectively getting two pay rises in short space of time.
Ah damn it !
Offload Casemiro to Saudi and bring in Palhinha.
Would take him in a heartbeat.
His ferocity would’be really been a fit for United and how to build a squad that sacrifices everything, everytime.
He just brings that aura to the team (Fulham) whenever he’s on the pitch.

Signed a new contract & no transfer news. Nothing to discuss in this forum
