You want the club to sell Dani Alves? Do you think the club is in a position to just sell every single player that has underperformed in one go and replace them all with a big money transfer? A club with one of the best youth set-ups in the world? Do you really not know how football works? And the stupidity to think your club can spend 100m on a player and still keep upgrading at RB, despite bigger whole everywhere else is mind-boggling.

Besides, how is it Zubi's fault that a team decided they don't want a past-it player and instead went for a cheaper, younger player with more upside?

Fucking FIFA fans.

This summer is the last chance we sell Alves for some money. I don't want him to leave for 0M like Valdes. 90% of Barça fans want Alves to leave now.

What you want is irrelevant. You want to sell and will therefor not get a price that will be really worth it. Alves is serviceable. You cannot upgrade at RB AND get a CB AND restock your midfield AND get Suarez. You have to prioritise. If you replace Alves you will have to give up on something which seems like a really stupid move.

The thing is that we might not be able to sign players next winter, next summer and probably the other winter too, so even if that would harm the squad chemestry we should buy all the players we need for the next 2 seasons this summer, aand maybe stop losing our players for fucking peanuts.

While that's true what you're suggesting could be FFP crippling and I'm not sure the club can risk doing it anyway.

MARCA Cover: DONE! Real Madrid have an agreement with Bayern Munich over the signing of Toni Kroos - €25 million.

£12M, El Mundo Deportivo says it's done. For what it's worth.

EDIT

Nevermind, they're actually quoting the Daily Star.

Rumors of Lukaku to Atleti on loan, which I'm not a fan on unless Lukaku commits to a new cointract (and why would he right now?). It'd be a step up for him, but, come on, dude is ready to contribute and start earning some minutes.

More officaly, since the Gladbach board have discussed it, is Thorgan Hazard to Gladbach on loan. I love this move. Kid was one of the best players in Belgium for the past 2 seasons and Gladbach is a good platform for him to show what he's got and improve under a good system with a good attacking unit (Kruse, Herrman, Raffael, Kramer in support) and I think Hazard could really improve his stock this year.

I'm excited about the new season already. Chelsea has new toys to play with and the European spot-candidates in the Bundesliga are making some interesting moves.
