It's mos def Barcelona trying to create news. Like the tweet says, Chelsea reporters are usually all over this stuff.

Same Chelsea guys right now all reporting a Kounde deal has just been agreed. Not a peep on De Jong.
Kounde actually choosing Chelsea over Barca? :leon:

Saw Reece James, Thiago Silva and Koulibailly and was like: All the brothers at the back. :ohhh:

:mjpls: :hubie::mjlol:

No one talks enough about Bayern and Atleticos big money flops

Bayern only spend big money on defenders and midfielders. Mane Sane Gotze are the only attacking players in their top 10 biggest transfers. And Sane is 3rd at 55m. Bayern can afford 1-2 big money signings to flop because the likelihood is its not going to cost them the league like it would back in 90's and 00's.

With that said Bayern have that Real mystique about them where its very political behind the scenes and you got to have a certain type of mentality to succeed there. Otherwise the wolves will find out the weak and get rid of.

Atletico had plenty of flops going back to the 90's. It's just they aren't royalty and are the clear third team behind Real and Barca and that's never going to change so they get more leeway

Just checked, it’s the Lucas Hernandez transfer I was talking about. For some reason I thought Upamecano was a 70 mil transfer.

However, fakkit ass Simeone bought Felix for 120, Lemar for 72 and Costa for 60. Disgraceful coach :scust:

Joao Felix earning €280,385 while being in prison. Hoping Man City pays his bail one day...
He’s a fool. Hope he sees out the 7 year deal he signed. He’ll come out an inverted rwb when Simeone is done with him :wow:
