Giroud to Chelsea is off.

Good. Go get Llorente.

 

Oh look at you all, with your clubs acting effectively in the transfer market.

Bastards.

 

Is spending £110m on two strikers who won't play together really "acting effectively" though?

 

We've taken a Brazilian who doesn't like the Chinese on loan and we're looking at loaning Mangala. We already have one donkey (looking at you, Ciaran Clarke) at CB. I can only assume that we're opening a city farm.

By effective, I meant getting deals over the line, so forgive me if my heart doesn't bleed for your ability to sign odd combinations of players. At least you're signing someone.

 

Rumor is Chelsea offered a Llorente for Bats swap and Spurs agreed but Bats doesn’t wanna be backup.

I think it’s a load of crap though.

 

I saw something about Bats and Dortmund too, this whole window is a mess and it's amazing.

 

Yeah apparently there’s a whole domino effect between Spurs/Chelsea/Arsenal/Dortmund involving Giroud, Bats, Llorente, Abumayeng haha

 

lmao the next 24 hours should be fun

 

No thanks.

 

Apparently Marc Bartra is up for sale.

 

That seems like a great deal in today’s market.

 

city signing laporte leading to athletic triggering inigo martinez's release clause is hilarious. basque sol campbell.

 

When City sign Laporte they will have 4 of the 5 most expensive defenders ever.

 

Despite the source of the money/how much they’re spending, the way City has refreshed and balanced what was an old albeit elite squad is quite impressive.

 

related: how has laporte not been capped by france yet lol

 

Deschamps and injury.

 

Well I'm off to buy my Aubameyang 69 shirt

 

stonewall case for a basque national team imo

 

it's mislinstat going home, "we tried arsene, sorry boy"

 

this feed has been glorious:

Mislinstat 69 doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but I guess it'll have to do...

 

This is all very reminiscent of the Arshavin signing!

 

City supposedly bidding £60mil for Mahrez as Sane is injured. Don't believe it, but if it is true why? Can Bernardo Silva not cover for Sane?

 

I believe it. It's City's MO the last couple of years. Look at the money they spent on their defence the last two years. They were in for Sanchez despite not needing him.

 

Mahrez handing in a transfer request City are literally doing what I do in cheat games of FM. Pump the finances up and buy a new player every time there's an injury.
