This is another one of those signings that wouldn't have been possible without signing xhaka but equally has a similar kind of impact on further recruitment because of his own quality. Was told significant sum still available and being kept aside for a significant forward target, one of which we have chased all summer but selling club have played funny buggers with the price
They have to have spent 3 years in an English academy before their 21st birthday. Given foreign lads can’t come to the country till they’re 18 now, it basically makes fabregas situations impossible. He was here from 16 iirc. Miller is nearly 19 so couldn’t make the cut.
PSG have infinite money and have never really stood in the way of players leaving by requesting ridiculous fees. Excluding Neymar to Saudi their second and third highest sale is €50m both within the last year.
PSG didn’t pay a lot for him, and he likely is due to trigger some addons. Fee is about right probably, could rocket with a good season in Prem. He was linked to Liverpool and Spurs whilst at Leipzig.
I know the words are not correct but by god, we've screamed under the Radar with Sky and other pundits
Aye. This is another out of nowhere. At this point if we signed Lautauro Martinez tomorrow I’d be like ‘bound to happen’
This is more like it, deals being fired out like a pump action shotgun! If it's L'Equipe it's nailed on ... they're not just a gossip column like the UK media, in my experience. I wish I was near Sunderland, I'll volunteer my services for any French translation assistance. I'm not accredited, so no use on official documents, but I speak fluent 'builder's French' so could help with all the slang and banter. One of our posters meets Mrs RLB quite often and he's promised me a rdv ... ... I'm sure she'll find me absolutely charming as I'm sure you'd agree 'Burp' aye, another pint while you're at the bar pet
