2017/2018 European Football Thread

Leipzig coach Rangnick was incredibly pissed and vocal about the club's shortcomings, and just a week later you see this hire.
One of the most professionally lead clubs in the business, they really know how to invest their money to build a long-term powerhouse.

 

Tizzle one year ago:

Today's Gazzetta: Younes deal with Napoli fell through because Bayern intervened and told him they want to sign him this summer.

 

Either a very decent backup or breakout star. Reminds me so much of a young Ribery, so a transfer would be terrific.

The Napoli president is somehow saying Younes signed a contract and that they'll still bring him over, despite Younes himself saying things changed and that he broke it off. Weird situation but think if Bayern are keen on signing him, they'll just buy him out.

 

Napoli lawyer saying Younes signed a deal with them that was sent to the league officials.

If Younes doesn't join them, they'll sue and he has to fully make up financially. If he joins another club in July, they'll sue and file for a Younes suspension.

 

Did my daily transfermarkt forum surfing, some Bayern insider - or fake insiders, last summer percentage was 50/50 with James (before media mentions) and Sanchez (who Bayern admittedly negotiated with but backed out due to salary) - news:

The supposed insider breh is saying we agreed to a contract with Tuchel yesterday or two days ago, 3yr contract.

Also saying we met with Thauvin agent this week and want to sign, who is coincidentally my favourite option as a Robben successor because of being a dedicated 1on1 right-wing with a main left foot.

 

Says he wants a transfer after the season ends, Bayern have been interested for years apparently.

 

Watched the two games since he's arrived, great player. Really impressed by how calm he is when in possession of the ball, always makes the right decision and finds the open man.
