Can't sell someone you don't own
Yea, i realized my mistake once i left this thread but couldn't bother editing it, but you a right.Can't sell someone you don't own
What i am saying is i hope the interest is genuine from Arsenal and Cleverley chooses them
For Cleverley's sake, I hope he goes to Everton. He'll work with a manager who rates him and can have a say in the competition in this club.
Also I would like to see him in Spain (if Moyes stays at Sociedad)

That's really disappointing if true, I can only hope it's mean we've had progress on a player like Pogba or verratti.
I really hope Klopp doesn't end up at City.
Pretty sure he fell out with Moyes, that would be the last place he goes
Its BILD, who are apparently a rubbish tabloid type rumor mill.
We can't just ban people when they post negative news.
I thought he had been banned in the past for being full of BS.
Your thinking of the Italian guy. Not the same man. This guys pretty good with his German news. Normally used as a "German expert".
Yeah think it was the Italian guy actually.
Diaby is out of contract in the summer. Cleverley could replace him. I'm crying my eyes out as I type this.
They were one of the first to break the Klopp news
That's bloody cheap. Why would Dortmund sell for that low, especially after just losing their manager and finishing midtable? Don't think he'll leave for that price, surely not.
Probably because he is overrated.
The £ is in a strong position to the euro (£29M = 40M euro).
How is that cheap for a CB?
£30million for a centre half is by no means cheap. Also his value has probably taken a little hit recently.
£29m ~ €40.5m would actually make him the biggest Bundesliga transfer of all time surpassing the likes of Martinez, Gotze, Neuer, Benatia, Gomez, Ribery in recent seasons. The fact that Hummels has suffered some injuries this season and been a bit inconsistent (compared to his splendid 2010-2013 form) probably pushes his evaluation down a bit.
TBH, while BILD is a tabloid, their rumors often tend to be true. Bild is probably as a whole the best-informed newspaper in germany sports-related (I'd even rate them higher then kicker) and astonishingly reliable. They invest a lot of money in sources. So if anyone breaks a story of greater calibre, it's either a regional paper (who is directly linked with the reported club) or BILD.
Why would that be cheap? Hummels has had a rather disappointing season, faced a few injuries, Dortmund is probably not playing in the CL next year and will have to sell Hummels and Hummels himself isn't undoubtfully world-class if you ask me (then again, there are not many CBs out there, who are). 29m is a pretty good amount.
Martinez was £31.8m.
But it was less Euros. 40m i thought
Ah yeah, you may be correct. Same with Götze, I think.
The transaction wasn't made in £.
€ is the most commonly used currency for football transfers.
Mangala. Luiz. Lovren. Hell, even Jones cost £16m as a teenager.
In context, Hummels is better value than any of them defenders.
We paid £30m for Rio over a decade ago.....from Leeds after one good CL campaign
Well we don't know that yet. He could flop and prove to be a disaster.
The inflated valuation used by certain clubs like City (Mangala) or PSG (Luiz) isn't a rule of thumb and shouldn't have a major effect on the rest of the clubs or their transactions. Just like Andy Carroll's fee didn't make every half decent striker worth £30m+.
If we consider players similar to Hummels in terms of caliber or potential - Benatia (considered to be the best central defender in Serie A after Chiellini) transferred to Bayern Munich for €26m in the same window as the Mangala/ Luiz deals, arguably the best defender in Europe last season Diego Godin has a €35m buyout clause which can be readily activated, and the biggest defensive talent of the last 5 odd seasons transferred to Madrid for just €10m including add-ons.

Ah. Forgot about the Euro just completely going down the shitter. That's makes much more sense.
Yes. But when you compare the transfers, Mangala - unproven at any decent level
Luiz - widely considered as erratic and not so great
Lovren - one decent season in the premiership at a decent team. Nothing more.
Jones - showed a lot of spirit in a not very good Blackburn team
Hummels - World Cup winner
I know who I'd take the risk on.
But the only thing that really matters to me is if Van Gaal wants him. If he does and he signs him, great. If he doesn't, I won't be disappointed.
Edit: words
The Euro right now is almost equal to the dollar @ 1.08. Just 2 years ago 1 euro was worth 1.40 dollars.
It's a great time to be buying European players with definite asking prices, the likes of Hummels and Dybala. Or those with buyout clauses like Laporte.
Probably won't get a better summer for it given the exchange rate.

Club official gangbang.
So who is the big new talent at Porto?

Jackson Martinez perhaps?
Can't see anything going wrong in bringing in a 28 year old Colombian striker.
Brahimi. Oliver (on loan from Atleti). There are the 2 I think we'd be most interested in.
Thanks, the article was a really good insight to the Grand Nationals.
Rest of it was shite
