Same.

Also Arsenal are supposedly signing Henry Onyekuru, a 19 year old Nigerian striker who scored some goals for a team fighting relegation in the Belgian league.

As someone who watches the Belgian League: KAS Eupen, the team he's currently playing for, is linked to some academy in Qatar, the Aspire Academy. They stall a ton of players there and they're not all scrubs. Onyekuru scored 22 goals this season and Eupen wasn't really fighting relegation, they finished 13th.
I rate him, but I'm not sure he'll slot right into Arsenal, but we'll see I guess. He's only 19 too, so there's still a lot of progression there.

Akileese posted:

Yep. £6.8M. I believe he was actually the leading scorer. I've never seen him play and I doubt anyone else who says they rate him have but hopefully he's got some talent. I do wonder if he'll get a work permit though. From what I read I don't think he's been capped by Nigeria yet.
He good.

Some more news about Henry Onyekuru. Eupen have given Mogi Bayat (and well known agent in Belgium) an 'exclusive mandate' to negotiate with all interested parties about Onyekuru. So that Arsenal deal was probably bollocks.
Also he got his first cap for the Nigerian NT yesterday, so that probably helps with the work permit stuff? I don't know how that works, AFAIK we don't have rules like that in Belgium.

biglads posted:

He plays for HNK Rijeka who just did the double in Croatia (undefeated in the League AFAIK). I think that is the first time a team other than Hajduk Split or Dinamo Zagreb have won the Croat League since independence. Other than that I know gently caress all but I do have an HNK Rijeka polo shirt that I bought when flying out of Rijeka airport last September so that makes me an 'expert'.

(If he's about to sign cheapo for someone in the Juplier League, he may be an absolute steal depending on how you view the quality of the Belgian vs the Croatian league)

Supposedly my club just broke the club record fee to sign him ('only' 4-5 million tbh) so I'm curious. I have no idea about the difference in quality between the Croatian and Belgian league though, but I guess it'll be similar?

Apparently Leicester made a €21 million bid for Gent keeper Lovre Kalinic.
On one hand, he's a great keeper and I'd hate to see him leave, but on the other hand, we paid like €3 million 6 months ago...

Why does Lukaku want to play for Mourinho again?
And this is the biggest surprise. He's been a life long Chelsea fan, played there but didn't 'succeed' and now has the chance to go back there (now that he's really ready).
Why go back to Mourinho? And no CL football? That was also a big factor in wanting to leave Everton iirc.

Because they can't probably? A Qatari lawyer could just say: 'Show me where it says we can't do this?'.
Most Fifa/Uefa can do is change the rules to prevent poo poo like this happening in the future imo.

I wonder how Uefa/Fifa will react to the Neymar transfer. Obviously they can't stop that transfer or try to undo it, but surely they will implement some new rules to prevent stuff like that from happening again. The only question is, how do you stop that? Maybe a cap on the transfer sum for one player, or a max amount a club can spend in one transfer window would work? But that's probably also a lovely solution so I don't know, I just don't know.
