    He’d get ****ed up by Big Mouss and Dier if he tried pulling any stunts. Not forgetting Poch too.

    FWIW I’d rather Grealish or SMS anyway but I wouldn’t say no to Rabiot, despite his dickheadness.

    I can see him going to Real. Ageing central midfield with zero depth, french connection with Zizu and the latter has proven himself to be very adept at managing colossal egos. The move suits all parties involved.

    Yeah definitely plausible. Although depending on just how ‘Galactico’ Real are gonna go once they’ve likely signed Hazard and Eriksen, I think a move for Pogba could be on the cards.

    Sources all over Spain suggest that Real are struggling financially. 'Struggling' of course being a relative term but I can't see them buying all 3 of those, especially as they probably also need to start looking for a long-term Ramos replacement (as well as a better partner for him), a new FB and potentially ST too; as much as Zidane likes Benzema he's been off the boil for a few years now - Ronaldo papered over that but he seems to have lost half a yard of pace.

    Can you see them swooping for Eriksen and Toby?

    I guess it all depends on how many more *cough* loans *cough* the spanish government is willing to give them. Any car parks near the Bernabeu suspiciously go up for sale for 400% of the market value recently?

    LB they already have Theo Hernandez who they signed from Atleti last season but is on loan somewhere in La Liga at the moment, so I presume he’s Marcelo’s heir. Benzema still has a year or two in him so I don’t think he’s as pivotal to replace just yet.

    The “lucky” thing for Real though, should they go for Hazard and Eriksen, is that both will be costing far less than what they’d usually command if they had years to run on their deals. Hazard would probably cost £200m in this market with a full contract, Eriksen around £120m, both can probably be picked up for a combined £150m in the summer, which even for a possibly financially struggling Real, is still more or less chump change.

    I doubt they'll be that cheap. Eriksen will command a large fee because of competition and Chelsea won't want to sell anyone, let alone Hazard.

    I fear that my income tax will rise this year so Los Ladrones can buy Neymar, Hazard and Eriksen<laugh>

    Rafa VDV said that he doesn't think Eriksen would fit in at Los Ladrones - essentially because Eriksen's character is level-headed and pragmatic, not an egotistical turd which is what the Francoists prefer

    In other words, Hazard would fit right in...

    Are Andre Gomes and Lucas Digne both on loan at Everton - I like the look of both of them and they would both improve our team.

    I'd also like to see us move for Teilmans who is on loan at Leicester. Surely we can make an offer that'll interest the player.

    Gomes is on loan. Hes a decent player .tenacious, can dribble out of tight spots and has good strength. His passings a bit hit and miss though so is his shooting. Would rate him higher than barkley.

    Digne is also decent. Bit ropey in defence but has the full works. I believe everton signed him permanently

    Anyone seen much of this Moise Kean lad at Juve? 19 years old scored a good goal for italy last week and I see he grabbed the winner for juve today. Big, powerful and lightening quick by the looks of him, although he does have a tendency to overplay and his first touch does remind me of Chimbonda's.

    Probably never happening but with Ronaldo and Dybala the main man and Mandukic apparently preferred to start in their absence, could be worth a look? Out of contract end of next year and Juve are apparently very Kean (boom boom) for him to extend.

    So it's PSV's fault for finishing above Ajax for the last two seasons?

    Somehow Less Believable Than That Paraguayan Midfielder Watch
    According to Galician newspaper Faro de Vigo we're lining up a "considerable" bid for Celta Vigo midfielder Yago de Santiago, and we've apparently already shown him around our facilities

    And this is where the story stops pretty much dead, because here is a short list of sites where I can find no mention of this player whatsoever
    * Transfermarkt
    * WhoScored
    * Wikipedia

    On top of that the only mentions of him on Twitter are from various accounts retweeting the story.

    While I can confirm that the kid exists, the only evidence he exists is a headshot on Celta's website, so any suggestion of an "extraordinary" contract sound uncannily like the agent of a youth prospect trying to get a bumper contract for his client - and with Celta in the relegation spots of La Liga, it also sounds like future-proofing his client as he's likely to get a run of games in the second tier if they do get relegated
