    Messi is a free agent.

    Bet he bottles it and signs a new deal anyway.

    He should do what he did on my FM2015 save and go to Newcastle.

    Dortmund have never once been rinsed as long as they've lived. They'll get £150 million for Haaland next year and feast for a lifetime on schweinhaxen and posh BBQ sauce.

    £73m for a player that could play for the club for 10 years is pretty decent imho.

    I thought he has a release clause that's much lower, meaning they'll need to sell sooner than that?

    Sancho had 38 goals and 45 assists in 82 games for Dortmund. He's one of only 4 players to average more than 1 goal/assist per game over the last three years (Mbappe, Lewandowski and Messi being the others).

    He's one of the 3 best players in his age group in the world. We paid £1m less than Arsenal paid for Nicolas Pepe. The Dortmund fans are fuming.

    They won't sell this summer unless someone makes at utterly outrageous bid. They'll do everything not to let Sancho and Haaland go in the same window.

    I fear you and similarly minded United fans are in for a rude awakening when he is inevitably a hot and cold inconsistent bastard like the rest of them. German football is very, very weak.

    He's obviously not going to come in and immediately put up the same numbers in the Premier League, but he's the real deal. You'll see.

    I doubt it. He's good but not that good. That said, I have long since lost track of what it takes to win one of those in non-Messi/Cristiano times.

    Sterling on track this year

    Jadons Ancho is like two signings because it (hopefully) stops Rashford from stinking up the right side ever again.

    It always used to be heavily-weighted towards international tournaments didn't it (Fat Ronaldo, Fabio Cannavaro); but we're in the Goals, Skills & Assists era now, so rattling fifty past Bayer Holocaust probably counts for more.

    If Jack Grealish scores six goals in each of the next three games to win England the euro, will he win it? I'd say probably not, you have to play for certain clubs.

    He could have scored a hat trick every time he played this year and they're still not giving the award to an Aston Villa player.

    Almost worse than being a defender.

    Leicester got Daka and it seemed like a missed opportunity.
    United got Sancho and it seemed like Liverpool could have used him.
    There’s only one thing for it.

    It's all gone quite quiet on the Liverpool front to be fair. Journos linking us with any available CM in Europe.

    Not that we'll get either but the likes of Goretzka and Mbappe both down inside their final year of their contracts is interesting.

    Ramos to PSG done.

    Varane to United rumours heating up with the mid-tier journalists quite a bit. The Real fans seem pretty convinced it's not a ploy for a contract and he genuinely wants to leave.

    Sancho + Varane would already be the best window we've had in probably forever.

    Isak extended with Sociedad and upped the release clause from 70 to 90 million euro.

    Honestly a very sensible decision at this stage for him.

    Apparently they've also made a deal with Dortmund.

    They're paying them £5m to cancel the £26m buyback clause.

    If true Dortmund are fucking idiots.

    I think Isak came out and said he would refuse to go back to Dortmund so they wouldnt be able to buy him back even if the intention was to sell him on. This way they get something

    2001 was the best transfer window until Jaap Stam went and then it wasn't, so 2007 walks it.

    Ours is either 1995's (Ferdinand, Barton, Hislop, Ginola, Tino, Batty) or 2013 when we bought every French player Carr had his eye on.

    Kimmich did sort of a proxy transfer where the release clause was used without him ever going to the club triggering it, but I guess Isak doesn't feel like doing Dortmund any favors at all.

    I know it’s completely irrational but we’ve been linked to that Locatelli chap and I want nothing to do with it. Italian central midfielders in England is just a recipe for disaster.

    The qualities required to play the position in England (running and tackling) and those required to play it in Italy (standing still and passing) are a bit ne'er the twain shall meet.

    Penalty box entries are where it's at.

    I find these stats fascinating because they're so fucking useless.

    Based on these results, it is suggested that teams should enter the opposing team's penalty area but should not allow their opponents to do the same.
    Thanks bud.

    Meanwhile,

    Teams with fewer players on the pitch received significantly more entries into the penalty area per minute than teams with more (mean=0.22, s=0.07) or the same number (mean=0.14, s=0.05) of players.
    So the plan is to get a player sent off and then put Sancho on.
