Came to post this, I am fuming. Galliani's pussy footing around has cost Milan what would've been 2 great transfers. The Martinez one I can understand but Milan's unwillingness to spend a bit more cost us Kondogbia. Inter is in no better of a position league and competition wise so it's down to cash.

Supposedly De Jong is staying so that might lessen it a bit but as soon as someone puts in a reasonable wage offer I bet he's out too. I'm mad. I'm mad as hell.

Suck it

There's always a chance of Wengy buying whoever is getting pushed out of a big Spanish club, which owns, but Idk if that's happening to Benzema.

The rumor is that Real want Aguero. I don't know if I could see City selling him though.

I like how much you love your ex Barca players but actually hate Barca.

Also who the gently caress is Joe Gomez?

We really need to start selling some players because right now our squad is bloated to gently caress. With Gomez added we now have Skrtel, Sakho, Lovren, Toure, Coates, Illori, Wisdom and Gomez as centre back options.

I'm pretty keen on getting to watch big Virgil again as he comes in from the wilderness. 8m is what he should have gone for when he left here in the first place, but alas his contract prevented Groningen from really cashing in.

Benzema is a barely double digits striker in a Real Madrid team that scored over 100 goals last season.

There's no point just getting "good" when you've already got someone at that level and want to win more things.

he had similar stats to suarez this season, it's almost as if he's surprisingly unselfish for a striker in a team where ronaldo throws a tantrum if he doesn't get the goal

Suarez plays as a wide forward at Barcelona it's almost as if he's expected to get assists and a lower number of goals than the centre forward. I just don't think Benzema would be an upgrade over Giroud and he's only a year younger than him.

Whenever I've seen Barcelona play Suarez has been in the centre with Neymar on the left and Messi on the right.

He's good but not great. Good enough to get a lot of time and score some goals if this fan fiction were true.

Benzema is very good. The reason he "only" scored 20 goals is because he's forced to feed Ronald's goal addiction.
