Fenerbahce have agreed a 14m euro (£12.1m) deal to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who has been City number one since 2017.

The 32-year-old changed the face of goalkeeping in the Premier League and has won six top-flight titles, the Champions League and FA Cup after joining from Benfica for £35m, but has not featured this season.

The Gianluigi Donnarumma and Ederson transfers are both contingent on each deal happening - Donnarumma is expected to join but would not do so if Ederson does not agree to go to Turkey.

And there’s this. No-one saw this coming. Did they?

Edit: Apparently @Livvy saw it coming over in the Bundesliga thread.

‘With immediate effect’ - Leverkusen’s Ten Hag statementpublished at 11:07 British Summer Time

Bayer Leverkusen

Right, here is that very short statement from Bayer Leverkusen on X announcing the departure of former Manchester United and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

It read: “Bayer 04 Leverkusen has parted ways with head coach Erik ten Hag with immediate effect. Training will be taken over by the assistant coaching staff for the time being.”

As I said they probably should just give them probation contracts. Some silly fools will appoint him 6 months mind.

Tactics Tim just speculated that Glasner might use Guehi’s exit as an excuse to jump ship and take the Leverkusen job.

That would presume that Glasner had prior knowledge of goings on at Leverkusen.

Would be the first time Tactics Tim hasn’t said anything nonsense.

Speculation that Elliot might go to Villa, possibly on loan. “Casual conversations” have taken place. Sounds a bit saucy.

Fuck… that is really bad… Gomez is injury-prone, we all know that, but he has one peculiarity: as soon as he’s on the pitch, he performs at his very best. Yesterday, he saved our collective asses several times after coming on. And he’s very versatile. That’s not Guehi’s case I presume?

What’s a ‘casual conversation’? Is it one that you have over a pint or maybe while smoking a spliff?

That statement on the Villa website seems to pretend we don’t know who he is.

57

Never heard of him.

58

Where will Martinez end up then? Back at Villa I guess…

The Gomez one is the best news Bradley is too unreliable at the minute.

The “as it stands” doesn’t fill me with confidence that he’ll still be here if Guehi gets done.

Surely you dont leave Frankfurt for Palace as a step up, only to do well and cash that in by going to Leverkusen? Even without considering their current situation.
