So he is scum, but no one can blame him? Makes sense.

i get that bayern are a juggernaut, but surely these guys have received offers from big clubs outside germany. it's crazy how many of them happily join bayern. does that happen in any other european league where the number 2 club loses it's players to the number 1 club so often?

As number 4 we've lost a few players to 1, 2 and 3.

That explains his mistakes-ridden season then.

That's Subotic, Gündogan, Mkhtaryan and Reus or Auba replaced right there.

That's a lot of changes for one window. Can't see them challenging Bayern next year.

They'll still be the 2nd best team and still remain leagues behind Bayern. Predictable league.

I know a couple of guys that rate Gomes quite highly. Very unique player. They'll be selling a couple of attackers leave this summer surely.

They'll probably sign some good players but they will fade back. They will have to up their wage bill significantly if they want to stay with the big boys

I liked Umtiti a lot when I saw him at the French youth level a couple of years back, he and Zouma made a good pairing. Be interested in seeing how he's developed

United are rumoured to be close to signing Gabriel Jesus, a 19 year old Brazilian striker. You can tell what they're trying to do in the transfer market, they want to build a team full of youthful players who have it in them to go on and become superb in their positions but just aren't quite there yet.

Depay, Martial, Januzaj, Shaw, Rashford. Added to those 5, if they pull it off, Renato Sanchez and Gabriel Jesus.

Hasnt there been talk of Depay being sold? Hasnt Januzaj been utter wank?

Gabriel Jesus is supposedly the next big thing out of Brazil. Been hearing a lot about him in the last 18 months.

Yeah and Gabriel Barbosa as well.

Instead we went for Gabriel Paulista.

So, if Gabriel Paulista means he is Gabriel from Sao Paolo, then we definitely should be in for a guy called Gabriel Jesus.

Laporte to City.
