Saul would be good for a team that still plays 4-4-2Saul would be good in EPL.
Mandi to Villareal is official

Brighton agreed to a club-record fee for Nicolas Gonzalez (25 mil). Hopefully, he can be the answer to our xG issues.
yup but you should see the posts about him in the other thread. Apparently he sucks. My only concern is how his body will hold up. Missed a lot of games last season through injuries. And epl play rough. If he can stay healthy he will be good. I wonder if he will play as a winger or a striker.
Well, mostly the AFCON winning lineup, with a few additions/tweaks here and therefeels like its algerians everywhere.
what would be best possible algerian lineup right now with all players available?
My sense with Haaland is they are just trying to build the groundwork for a move next summer. Bellingham will also be multiple years down the road. Like Sancho, I think he plays 3-4 seasons at Dortmund before serious transfer negotiations start, and those negotiations could still take a year or more.The Chelsea stance on Haaland seems more like a warning shot than anything concrete. It's their way of saying we're back to being one of the biggest clubs in world football, and can spend as much money as we want.
Even if Chelsea want to sign Haaland this summer and are willing to pay a world record transfer fee that is such ridiculous money that Dortmund would be silly to not take it, how difficult are those other fees going to be? I speculated it could be nearly 80-90 million. I've seen rumors since that it could actually be not much less than the world record transfer fee would be, which sounds absolutely insane and speaks to the problem with the payments some teams make to agents and family members.
Then you factor in that they have a deadline of July 23 installed for any possible deal, and Chelsea haven't even started negotiating anything with anyone, otherwise we would get some leaks to that effect that they have. In other words, it's not happening.
And on Bellingham, we'll see what happens in upcoming seasons, but he has a contract until 2025. Unless some team wants to come up with some ridiculous offer next summer that approximates what the maximum fee in 3-4 seasons would be, what's the point of selling? I see virtually no chance he leaves next summer. Maybe 2023, but even then there's still little incentive to sell a 20 year old whose value is still going up. There will be offers because he's going to be one of the best players in the world eventually, but there's going to be no incentive to sell anytime soon.
If were spending anywhere near 40mil on a RB why not go for Aarons? Or get Baku from Wolfsburg? Trippier is good and would offer something different from AWB but that's so much money for a 30 year old.
Yup and he can dribble too scored an amazing solo goal this year.The Copa thread? He looked solid outside of his finishing. Made some nice runs.

That's why I mentioned before, and there were some reports of it, but Chelsea might be trying to make a deal like Naby Keita. Offer a sum above whatever release clause, but below the high current asking price, it gets signed this summer, but Haaland doesn't arrive until summer of 2022. Just pray he doesn't have a significant injury.I think that’s going to be difficult though. Like it or not, the two biggest draws for Haaland are still going to be Madrid and City. And next summer most teams should have more money. It’s plausible neither team goes for Haaland next summer. If City signs Kane and Madrid goes for Mbappe next summer instead of this one, it could open up Haaland going to Chelsea. However, if Chelsea really want him, they should try for this summer. Next summer they aren’t going to be the only option and the other options are the two teams that have long been rumored to be his next destination.
