Other clubs transfer news (home and abroad)

He's doing ok, let's see how the rest of the day goes first. Improvement on last summer/Jan.

Coming from you that close to a full gobbie and breach around for him.

Out of interest, what would excellent look like if this is “ok”?

Don't get it twisted, I still don't like the cunt....his hair, or his fashion sense.

So far it's ok, if Isak and Guehi are finalised before the deadline then suddenly becomes very good. Excellent would've been getting Ibou contract sorted, shifting unreliable/unwanted players in Gomez/Harvey for £60-70m, buying another DM and also 1 or 2 kids from South America.

He's Director of Football not a child slavery gang leader
 
From what I can gather, his teams were playing without any clear identity, his team talks were dreadful, and he was publicly criticising some of the club’s decisions, such as the Xhaka sale. They’ve replaced half their first team, so while it’s hilarious that he’s gone, it reflects more poorly on Bayer Leverkusen than on Ten Hag himself.

It's meant to be a total cluster-fuck behind the scenes there, but as a fan of there's, I'd be pleased. ETH is a manager whose entire reputation is based on being fortunate enough to have a very talented Ajax side come through at the right time.
 
It would still make sense for ManU to buy Martinez if they can. The Belgian guy's only 23 and neither Banana nor Bayindir is good enough.

The funny thing is that they've got a young Czech goalkeeper on loan at Bristol who's better than both Bayindir and Onana.
Honestly don't know what that club is doing. Long may it continue.
 
When and why did Serie A clubs get so poor?
Finances. They can't even fill their stadiums. While EPL sold it's soul to the devil, serie A stagnated.
That being said, they still managed to produce a national team that won the Euros a few years ago.

Might sound a bit xenophobic but the Italian league still has an Italian identity to some extent. The Prem? Seems like British players are the minority.

An equally relevant question would be why were they ever rich in the first place? When I was a kid the gap between them and English clubs was ridiculous. Fucking Lazio paid £5.5m for Gazza in 1991, and they weren't any better then than they are now. That'd be like Lazio buying Cole Palmer this summer.
 
What do you mean the PL sold its soul?
Foreign ownership, English identity, marketing, YouTube and more.

Obviously, I'm exaggerating, but other leagues in Europe can't compete.

I mean just look at this transfer window.

5 days ago the expenditure from EPL clubs was £2.6bn.

The same applies to pretty much every league doesn't it? The PL has just done it way better than anyone else.

I'm sure the PL deserves its share of criticism but the single biggest thing they did to help their "product" was sharing the tv revenues relatively evenly to keep the league fairly competitive. Nobody ever mentions that because it was a wise and restrained decision that doesn't fit the easy narrative of corrupt money-grubbing capitalists.

I agree it's not all bad, although Saudi state ownership isn't something to be proud of.
I'm just saying that the EPL sold it's soul quicker than the other leagues and they've got some catching up to do.
