Stuttgart → Premier League
Mangala to Forest last summer
Ahamada to Palace january
Endo to Liverpool
now Mavropanos to West Ham confirmed.
Guess Sosa, Ito, Silas and Guirassy will follow in the coming windows.
Otavio from Porto to Al-Nassr for €60m.
Suat Serdar from Hertha to Hellas Verona on loan.
Thomas Delaney from Sevilla to Anderlecht on loan.
Konstantinos Mavropanos from Stuttgart to West Ham for €20m.
Wonder if a CB from West Ham will be on the move if not in the remainder of this window, but in one of the next ones… Aguerd, maybe?
That is an interesting one. In what little action he got at Arsenal I thought he was impressive for how young he was and could not understand at all the treatment he got given how shit their other options were. I watched from a far on how his career was going after he left and while I never saw him at Stuttgart Im not surprised to see him back in the prem

Different Aaron Ramsey. This is Jacob Ramsey’s younger brother. Plays in a very similar way to Jacob - think Villa were very anxious to keep him after two very productive loan spells with Norwich and Middlesbrough last season but he obviously wanted the first team chances that Burnley can offer.

From one of the hottest young properties coming into this window to wasting his career in Saudi Arabia.

Last week he was dead set on Napoli. He chose this instead. Embarrassing.

His agent needs a good slap or two. This is probably worse than Oscar’s decision.

We might disagree, but young players seem to be increasingly regarding the Saudi league as a valid option.
They have gone beyond the elephants graveyard state already.
In a couple of years they’ll be in the CL and a year or two later they’ll be winning it.
If FIFA has its way of launching a parallel league to champions league. Which is pretty much possible given how corrupt they are.
Depends how it goes I guess. Same could have been said about China a few years back and now it’s not even talked about anymore.
The difference is the Saudi league appears to be backed by the government whereas the Chinese government seemed to crack down on those teams spending huge sums.
I can’t see European clubs standing for the addition of Saudi teams in a UEFA competition. I also can’t see them being able to do what they did with golf and basically set up a competitor and bribe clubs to join their tournament instead. The backlash from the Super League thing will surely have spooked clubs from doing anything like that for a while.
The whole thing is super ugly. Part of me thinks it might be the case that it’s a way of taking a promising player off the market for a bit and that in a years time he ends up at a PL club with strong links to the Saudis for a relatively modest fee. They can’t buy him now because of FFP limitations and so he’s stashed away at a Saudi club to stop anyone else getting him this summer.

I’d see that cut both ways. I don’t think UEFA would want to do anything that would make a super-league look attractive.
