    So Zaniolo's going to Galatasaray.
    Always think Turkey's the absolute final port of call for anyone wanting to leave their club but with nobody from the major leagues wanting them.
    Basically it's the place for the truly unwanted ones who still want to stay in Europe.
    Bit sad, really.

    Kim Min Jae to Napoli for 19 mil
    Eljif Elmas to Napoli for 15 mil + bonuses
    Vedat Muriqi to Lazio for 17.5 mil
    Cengiz Under to Roma for 14 mil
    Zeki Celik to Lille from 2nd division, now in Serie a
    Caglar Soyuncu to bundesliga from 2nd division as well
    and more examples can be added.

    you can choose to go with that narrative still or actually see that there's been some export of talent as well lately, especially serie a paying up big. so nothing sad really. obviously you can't get Roberto Carlos playing in Turkey when he's 26 years old, but we've had a share of world class players come and go. that said I'm shocked GS is shelling out for Zaniolo, a player with history of injury and attitude issues. we'll see how he fares.

    Sounds a bit like Juve for players from the top clubs 😂

    The counter to that is the pure amount of over the hill players currently in the league. Overall, don’t think it’s a bad league though.

    You still got far too many Sturridges, Dele Allis, and Januzajs.
    Undoubtedly, there is talent to be had from there, it's just that it's currently outnumbered by washed-up players.

    I have a feeling this will get brushed away somehow, or the punishment will be minimal.
    Going to be every interesting to see what happens with Pep and some of the players from here. Will they leave, will they want to, will they not give a ❤️❤️❤️❤️ as long as they get paid?

    Harshest punishment possible please. A smaller club wouldn't have a leg to stand on so hopefully the army of lawyers are unsuccessful in fighting city's corner.

    In this relegation scrap between Salernitana and Juve, it's safe to say that the former are even more woeful than the latter.

    They nearly killed Luton with excessive Punishments because our owners basically used and abused the club. Then the club and its fans got punished for it. I want to see the punishment to be fair, but not to punish the fans. It needs to be the owners that get punished. I would love to see them forced to sell up and leave, like Roman was at Chelsea(different circumstances I know).

    Billy Sharp is a helmet of a bloke, the way he was cry arsing after the game about the Wrexham players but couldn’t give a reason why when pushed says it all.
    Fuming he’s washed up and it took 190 minutes (with their goals coming in injury time both games) to beat a non league side

    Fawlty Towers coming back with John Cleese in this day and age is something I did not expect.
