Apparently Forest tried to hijack the Magassa deal and send him on loan to Frankfurt but he rejected it.

Did enjoy the Southampton fans on Twitter saying Fernandes was not going for less than 50M. It's a lot of money still, but he was easily their best player last season.

But seems like we are backing Potter, I actually think we've done ok this window signing younger players, but we really need these 2 midfielders to be hits to save our season really.

So Southampton finished 20th and managed to sell two players for £40 million each and Garnacho who has made close to 150 first team appearances for the club by the age of 21 and is a fully International is going to be sold for the same price. ****ing hell we are bad at selling players.

Problem you have in a way, Garnacho doesn't want to go to a non top 6 club. The mid table teams are likely to overspend a bit more, especially if they're targeting younger domestic players with potential.

But you have the same issue with Mainoo really.

Gees the German teams do well when they sell strikers.

Not just strikers, any forwards. And they usually flop too.

That was my thinking, I mean you can easily lump Fullkrug into that bucket.

I think part of it is just a lot of them having been athletic enough for the PL really.

I think its an easier league for forwards as theres less pressing so more time on the ball as well as its not as physical.

Would argue it's a severe overpayment

Except some Haaland bloke

Funny how you don’t think Dibling for the same fee is an overpayment. He did nothing in a club that finished 20th lol.

I didn't say that. Also don't forget the english tax

These days £40 million isn’t an overpayment. We just had our pants pulled down given some of the transfers fees that have been paid out.

Frankfurt finished third last season and were fourth best in conceding goals. Two of their regular back four starters were ex Leeds players Robin Koch and Rasmus Kristensen who were found a little wanting in the PL

Haaland of course is famous for his running.

Didn't the Germans invent pressing?
