Javi Martinez to Bayern for 40M Euros. It must be really hard for Bilbao because, no matter how much money they receive, they can't buy anyone who isn't Basque. I don't know how they'll replace Martinez.
My mate went to Bilbao a couple of weeks ago and had a stadium tour. He said that Southampton were mentioned a couple of times.
I read somewhere they're now after Antoine Griezmann from Sociedad. Wonder what'll happen to Llorente, too. Given the stuff surrounding him.
I like Griezmnn but he's slowly not fulfilling his potential. Not exactly a Martinez replacement Llorente seems to be DEFINITELY moving away every window but they cling onto him. I'm not convinced he's as good as a lot of people say, anyway.
Apparently the Basque region produces quality attacking players in abundance, so they shouldn't have to worry about that too much. It's finding defensive players where they struggle.
Do you think that sometimes a good player can be wasted on poorer teams without showing their full potential?
If QPR are going for him... don't see why we can't give it a go! http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/8033727/QPR-eye-Danish-defender
Esteban Granero to QPR. I have to admit that I thought they went mental last Summer. Obviously not. Edit: Taking transfers as of Wikipedia right now - Average age of QPR signings - 29.4 Average age of Saints signings - 22.4
Esteban Granero would be a top signing IMO. Shame about Sinclair, he must know he isn't as good as Adam Johnson who got no game time. But maybe in a years time when he hands in a transfer request we can take him! And Iraola is a quality right back!
