Agreed. Ajax has to be pissed. Kluivert shite all over the club and reduced their bargaining power.

Don't think the deal is completely done yet but seems likely.

Yeah, he's a fantastic prospect. Worry that he may be too young. He'll need to be ready to get significant minutes by mid-season like Under.

Ajax do have to be pissed that he's pushed for the move and not renewed. He could be the type talent to stay at Ajax for a couple of more seasons and sell for 4 times that price.

Arsenal, report sampnews24, have agreed with Sampdoria on a transfer involving their Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreria, activating his €25 million release clause.


Torriera looks like he may become an elite regista. Along with Nicolò Barella from Cagliari he's probably the best prospect as a deep lying playmaker in Serie A.

Impressive that Arsenal are paying attention.


Many Roma radio personalities have been bemoaning the likelihood that Napoli would sell Jorgihno for €60m and then buy Torriera for €25-30m and end up with the better player.

He'll never score goals but Allan at Napoli is one of my favorite players. He's so good.

Allan is fantastic. I had wanted Roma to get him when he was at Udinese.

He was my first choice for the best team of players not chosen for WC rosters.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I honestly don’t think Kluivert is anywhere close to good enough to break into Roma’s squad at the moment.

It certainly helps the team already has the wings covered on both sides so he won’t be rushed barring an injury crisis.

Regardless, for the price is possibly some great business, barring he doesn’t flop like other young Dutch players who forced their way out of the Eridivisie.

I'm confused on the Fekir deal.

I've seen that he passed his medical, but also shite that apparently there were some red flags and Liverpool aren't sure if they'll complete the transfer now.

Has this been cleared up?

There are many theories being floated for the delay, from medical to stock market to the fiscal year... nothing more than speculation at this point

I think most on the LFC still think the deal gets done, possibly as early as today..

Id be disappointed if it doesn't happen before the WC

I don't think it's crazy at all to think Kluivert will just be way too raw to get many minutes--and have to deal with the nutty Roma media when he plays awful for a full season-- and it will slow his growth as a player.

On the other hand, Kluivert is the same age as Under was last year and everyone thought it was nuts to bring him straight to Roma from the Turkish second divison but Monchi knew what he was doing.

Really hope we get details of what happened behind the scenes


From what I understand, there were some worries from his medical about long term health so we tried to lower the fee and Lyon wouldn’t budge. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be shocked if negotiations picked back up after World Cup


Sucks with what kind of talent he is and that he wanted the move, but if he’s not healthy...what can you do?

OL has the 2nd highest budget in Ligue 1 but it's still like 400 million less than PSG

But their fans want to compete like Monaco did so there's a lot of pressure

Most ITKs saying deal not off, just probably won’t happen until after the World Cup. Lyon’s statement is just more negotiation tactics.

Who knows though. Could be true.

If Pool can't get Fekir they should try Luis Alberto.

Haha I forgot he already played for Pool. He still had a superb season. Double digit goals and assists in the league.

Might be hard to get him from Lazio.

Nani is leaving, Felipe Anderson and Sergej very well could. If that happens and Luis Alberto leaves. Their whole team is torn down. They could buy new players of course, but that would be quite a change.
