Hudson Odoi is more talented than Pulisic. I'd be surprised if they let him go for 35m. Been awhile since Bayern pushed so hard for a player

Barella and Paredes is smart signings. They are rejuvenating their squad well if they complete those deals

Makes you wonder why Chelsea would let him go. Are they in that delicate a near-term financial position? They just seem to be repeating Jose-era mistakes of releasing top talent far too early

With Pulisic, Willian, Pedro ahead of him, he wants to leave desperately and Sarri doesn't want to give him any first-team chances I suspect.

It's insane, Pedro is 31 it's likely his pace will be gone next season. 

William is 30 there was huge offers in for him in the summer. His final ball is suspect as hell his game is based around pace it's the ideal time for them to replace them. 

We should nab him, looks a proper talent. Would make our right wing his own.

Nobody picks us over Bayern.

Pavard to bayern for 31m. They're gradually reinvigorating their squad

Players want to go there is guaranteed titles, massive club. They seem to unsettle players enough to get them for great fees.

HTF did Bayern get Pavard for so little? Contract running down?

30m for a top top defender, who was a standout with the World Cup winners, is nothing.

An absolute steal. Even if he bombs (which he will not) you are almost guaranteed to get back most of your money.

£30m is a lot considering they normally get them on a free. The Bundesliga is basically Bayerns academy/feeder league.

City may have paid distorted prices but 30m plus for a fullback is still a fair bit of money.

He'll most likely play centrally. Way better as centre half than at RB

30m is fucking peanuts. What the fuck is that deal? Unless its a release clause Stuttgart got robbed.

€35m is actually an appropriate fee for a highly talented young defender, outside of England that is. He's had one terrific season in the German second tier, another very good season in his first year in the top flight, a World Cup that was actually patchy - scored a worldie vs Argentina but was ripped apart on the flank against Di Maria, Rebic, Hazard etc - and is having a shit season currently along with everyone else at Stuttgart. We're just so used to the ridiculous fees English clubs pay for two bit players that this looks cheap now.

Clrnc will love this comparison but I think it's uncanny how similar his career trajectory is to that of Mustafi. Both had early moves abroad, both are centre halves who became World Cup winners playing RB, both had very early peaks and experienced a (team wide) slump afterwards. Pavard is way better on the ball but Mustafi played against the likes of Cristiano, Bale or Suarez and looked a lot better than Pavard did against top attackers. Probably not too many who think Mustafi's 35m fee looks a bargain now though

A shame he's out of our reach. Great ball-playing defender. CB is his natural position.

West ham don't wanna take 35 million for arnautovic. Transfer market is so confusing.

Since his contract was expiring, he only cost 1m euros. Should we have taken a punt on him?

Don't think so, he sees himself as a striker and hasn't convinced on the wing. However our negotiation team should take note of how embarrassingly shit Barcelona are at selling. We should be able to secure Suarez for like 6m if we're not completely inept
