"Tuttosport has since followed up that the Parisians will present an opening offer of €40m to Juve in the next few days. However, the newspaper warns Bianconeri general manager Beppe Marotta is holding out for €50m"

So what are we offering, if 45m quid is the price. Or is it the usual one price for everyone else and a different one for us.

we should be ashamed if he goes there for that price
 
We aren't offering anything if the papers are to be believed.

True but apparently agreed provisional terms. I'm just wondering what we believe his worth to be based on his contract length, talent etc because that price these days seems about right.
 
Initiating this new deadline day in a World Cup year was a disastrous feckin idea.

Definitely but the whole league is in the same boat, the club knew it. I just hope it's not used as an excuse if we fail to get further targets especially if they didnt even participate in the WC.

I commented last year the window should end before the season starts. Then a few days later it was announced (Not implying it was due to my comment). The problem is it's the PL only.
Looking ahead, what is the Qatar WC going to do to the January window?

We're going to do more business but this window could be remembered for who we get rid of good or bad, rather than who we bring in.

I think it's a really good idea, but only if it's UEFA wide. What happens when a player goes on strike to force through a move between August 9th and September 1st?

Depends how long they have left on their contract. If 3+ years then the club can just hold firm like Liverpool with Coutinho last summer. Once the window closes the player can't just keep going on strike.
 
I'm confident we can get a few in during the next 3 weeks but it's the amount of deadwood that needs clearing that we haven't even started on yet that concerns me. We're going to need something similar to the final couple of weeks of August 2014. At least there are no league points to be dropping while our squad is in a bit of a mess.

It wont affect it as the World Cup final will be on December 18th.
 
At first glance it doesn't even look like Shaw in the picture. He's lost weight as you can tell in his cheeks but he's been to the same dentist as Firminio it seems.

Pretty sure he is using some sort of Snapchat/Instagram filter there.
 

El Mundo Deportivo say the Brazilian would occupy one of three non-EU spots in the squad without a sale being required.... Barca are confident that Coutinho’s application for a Portuguese passport (his wife’s nationality) should be finalised soon.
 
Real should be honoured that City are even after one of their players, why are they asking for money from them?

The sheer madness of it. I expect Kovacic to put in a transfer request any minute now. Being coached by Guardiola is a huge honour don't you know. Players forfeit their salary for the privilege
 
I'm pretty sure Kovacic will leave as he wants to and he's starting to annoy Florentino in the same way Ozil, Higuain, Di Maria, etc did and the president always tend to despise: asking for a raise when he simply does not deserve it, furthermore, in the completely wrong moment to ask for it. He was always good when playing for Real Madrid as a young squad member in development that could be first choice in the future when Kroos and Modric are gone, but that's not enough to get an elite salary right now, it's not his status, when he also barely played and was part of Croatia's success this WC. He will leave if a high fee arrives, and probably will, he's a really good prospect. Otherwise he can b*tch how much he wants, Florentino won't let him go.

Do you think It's a question of money? I think that after so long in the bench he needs minutes, therefore I wouldn't understand if he goes to City.
I'd send him on loan

He's trying to take advantage of Croatia's success as if he was some kind of vital part of it, any football player would do the same in that situation. It's always the same after a World Cup. It's all about the money. Plus we have seen this a lot of times in any club with those young prospects signed to be under development till they get the first choice status. He just wants a raise in the line of "Okay, I will still be under development, but I want a raise so I can stand this situation, momomomore money, momomomomore benchwarming". I consider him a really good player with lots of potential tho.
