Real on the verge of signing Camavinga from Rennes.


Now I wonder who could possibly have a french CM they'd very much like to sell to replace him? I wonder...<whistle>

A great thought but I'd imagine a club like Rennes wouldn't have anywhere near the capacity to pay Ndombele a wage that comes close to what we're paying him.

Plus, in his mind he probably thinks his next move is to Bayern or Madrid or something.

Mike McGrath did say though that "PSG are losing the race for Camavinga"... So I don't suppose their manager, who chased that certain French CM for over a year, would fancy a reunion?

If Poch had any decency he'd pay for him out of his own pocket.

Utter nightmare of a signing.
 
Traore is hoping we'll make a bid for him on deadline day.

You just know it's going to happen, or we're at least hoping it's going to happen.

Ahhh man, we just never learn. I'd love to be wrong but I'd imagine if he joins, then in two years time we'll be adding him to the list of expensive flops like Ndombele, Lo Celso, Soldado and co.
 
Couple of obscure sources linking us with Ruben Neves.

He's the one I always thought we should be raiding Wolves for, not Usain Traore.

One or two seasons ago I'd have absolutely said yes.

Stance has changed. Not the creative type we need. Good for the occasional long range beauty though.
 
last day tomorrow

how many ins and outs are we on bro?

One out (Sissoko) and zero ins so far since my predictions.

I think we’ll hit my out quota as I reckon Aurier and CCV will go.

I think Emerson and Traore will come in, one short of my predicted in :(

What’s this Emerson like? Never heard of him

straight in?

Only seen the casual YouTube stuff.

Seems more attack minded than Tanganga but probably won’t be as defensively sound, that’s often the way with FBs these days anyway, one or the other with them.

Can’t be any worse than Aurier or Doherty though… surely.

It's been a problem for a long time but has gotten much worse in recent years.

Lewandowski getting a bouquet of flowers and a lap of honour before moving to Bayern for free took things to a new depth of madness.

To my mind it is no coincidence that Die Mannschaft have been in steep decline for a while now. The national league is a procession, not a competition.

This summer alone they’ve taken the manager, cb and captain of the team that finished second.

Joke of a league

I find it strange that the nearly teams don’t refuse to do business with Bayern…they should sell their players abroad instead of helping Bayern widen that gap year by year.

pathetic league
 
<ghost> Holy Ghost that completes 3 at the back The Father (Levy) Son and the Holy Ghost <laugh>
I don't Adam & Eve it . No wonder we're top.
I would love to see Ndombele spirited away.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
Or is the Father Pape Sarr?

A baseball joke nearing a century old is "We only need three players to win the pennant."

"Yeah, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost."

In any case, I'm still hoping I'll see Ndombele ghost past defenders...

and I recommend you watch "Spirited Away", if you haven't already. It's from perhaps the greatest animator and is one of the wildest things I've ever seen. It takes place in the realm of the Japanese Gods.

It's because they can't get them to move to other clubs unless Barca or Madrid come calling, most players in the BL want to move to Bayern with the odd few favouring the two others named.

I bet they would all come to the PL

Bayern don’t have the money to compete with other big clubs in Europe…that dynasty could easily be destroyed if the other German clubs were smart enough. I don’t believe that players don’t want to leave Germany for stints in England or Spain etc.

We were in for Sabitzer…he could have joined us easily, wanted to come…we didn’t move hard enough at the time and Leipzig didn’t really try hard enough to sell him. He’s joined Bayern for a similar fee to what we offered back then.
