✍️ OFFICIAL Granit Xhaka (Out)

Wanyama.

They had some ****ing side back then. Strong from back to front in 2001. Arsenal and Man Utd were exceptional, that was their problem. Put that Leeds side in this PL and it'd be very interesting. They'd smash us to pieces.

Harry Kewell was my favourite non-Arsenal player, playing in England, when he was at Leeds...thought he was amazing when I was a kid, really wanted us to sign him in 2003...plus they had this yellow kit in the early 2000s, that I just loved.

Watched that Leeds, Leeds, Leeds documentary on YouTube too, such a fascinating club...how can you go from Champions League semis, to relegation in three years, just terrible club management!

Like having historic clubs in the Premiership.

Probably need a certain level of player to get them up the league, similar to City splurging on Robinho, Adebayor, Bellamy etc before being able to sign the big guns.

To be fair, Adebayor was a prick, but a quality player and Robinho quite some player as well.

Goetze is finished and so is Wanyama. Weigl ,whilst not the player we initially thought he was, maybe still the most exciting pick of the lot. You could do much much better than that imo.

I can see why you would want to try to create a top team in Berlin.

Yeh I always wondered why there wasn't one

They will do much better in few years time, but when you start from the scratch you can't bring the very best.

How much would Rabiot’s loan fee be? 5m? 21 for Xhaka minus 5 for a temporary replacement wouldn’t look too hot.

We are getting more then 21, and Juve will try to get Pogba first, most likey by offering Rabiot and/or Can

I'm not remotely talking about the best, there are multiple levels in between what they are linked with at the best. Many clubs did twice as good with half the money

I can't imagine a £5 million loan fee for 6 months of a player who is only valued at about £20 million.

it's just rumors now, so don't buy into it. But, Xhaka and Gotze are perfect for the begining. Very similar to what someone mentioned in City's business with Robinho and adebayor

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

He played well vs Bournemouth and he's a starter, so we do need a replacement. Don't think Rabiot is the solution though, seems a different player.

Never thought I'd be hesitant to sell Granit

How much would Neves cost?

 

[Rex Stone]

How much would Neves cost?

Probably 60M plus

 

[TromsoGooner]

Holding was in the pictures from training

 

[field442]

With him not being involved tomorrow all signs point to him being gone when the window opens. It will be interesting to see who they actually target to replace him. The fee for Xhaka would probably get Rabiot if that’s who they want. Juve aren’t using him all that much and they got him for nothing so they’ll make a decent profit.

 

[Gooner416]

Martinelli has a knock?

 

[Sapient Hawk]

What do you mean 'most underrated'?

It's only Ray Parlour!

Tim Lovejoy's quip will echo long into posterity.... the twit

Viduka and Kewell. Aussies never had it so good afterwards.

so strange that Viduka had a better career than Kewell. I would have put my house on Kewell being the best player for years.
