    Too bad this prick got what he wanted. Just another reason to hate Barca.

    I wonder what Dortmund will do with all that money. They don't need to sign a quick replacement with Reus, Götze, Pulisic, Philipp, Schürrle and Kagawa on board.

    Guy has no ball-iq and is an absolute moron outside of the pitch, think the management is fed up with him. Stereotypical football youngster with no brain and all the arrogance in the world.

    Great with the ball but zero court vision or willingness for team play. Also wrong mindset, considers himself a superstar that should start for Real or Barca (who actually both rejected when his agent reached out).

    Inter seemed to be interested. There has to be moldable talent. Weird to give up on him after one season.

    I think you we can all relate to being 19-23 and feeling good about ourselves, at least I thought the world was open to me at that time...... which it was in a way.

    Dembele and him just need to grow up more, I mean be more humble. Stay positive!

    Feel like age isn't an excuse, these guys are behaving like arrogant pricks and don't respect any contracts and work obligations. I'd never be this disrespectful, no matter what age.

    Always sad to see such idiots being successful in football, this sh** would get them sacked & unemployed outside of their football bubble and I hate to see people struggling to make ends meet while these twats are making millions.

    Unfortunately can't change the monetary situation involved in futball and how bench players are behaving when they do not get enough playing time. It is easier to get restless.

    There are so many mid tier and smaller clubs who can offer you a starting spot right away. Or even top teams in smaller leagues.

    I guess it is very different from Bball where a Jamal Crawford is content being the Sixth Man, where a good Sixth Man is still more valuable than a marginal starter.

    They are under contracts, if they are being unprofessional, they will get sanctioned but there is no need to talk about it in abundance because different players feel differently.

    I can absolutely understand why Coutinho and Delembe want to play for a club like Barca.

    It's a millenial club with history and the best league apart from the Premier league.
    Somehow the Premier League top clubs are still behind Barca and Real because they are not successful enough in the Uefa CL.

    (solution would be a loan system that Chelsea and Man City uses)

    Or they could say Emre Mor is not good enough for the Bundesliga, then he might get shipped very soon.

    Separate the sports situation from what is going on with a player's psyche and conduct.

    Players tend to play well at one stop and stop being so fruitful at others......there are enough BVB players....Kagawa at ManU, Barrios, Odonkor, Ewerthon, Amoroso.

    And players who did not cut it at BVB and played well somewhere else: Kampl, Pienaar, Bobic, Barbarez.....

    He'll be so important this year as our only real backup for Ribéry and Robben. Hope Carlo gives Coman more minutes even if those two are healthy.

    West Ham United look super weak. Ouch. Allowed 3 goals to a team that hadn't scored yet all season.

    Manchester United time! Show Leicester City who's boss. Make Vardy cry. Make them forget about their recent PL title. Remind them that they're ****. Make them eat their own feces. And so on and so forth.

    Enjoyed watching Newcastle wreck shop. I have a dislike for Chicarita as a player and enjoy watching him lose. He has made that team worse. They keep trying to use him as if he's a player that should have the ball at his feet 40 yds from goal. His one and only skill (other than being offside 18 times a game) is cleaning up deflections. He is not a creative forward.

    Not enjoying this GW so far, very close games and not really many goals.....

    Newcastle scoring the most goals this GW so far tells it all.

    Glory, Glory, U know What.

    Manchester with another dominating effort. Score was only 2-0. That included a missed pk by Lukaku and many other missed chances. United dominated possession and opportunities. Also defended well when Leicester went forward.
