Excellent choice for Werner. He was going to be a sub in Liverpool, the guy wanted to be in the starting XI of a top club and it looks like Lampard convinced him that he was going to be a key player in the squad.

Ziyech and now Werner, almost £90 for two excellent top class players. Good job, Chelski

To be honest, chelsea has pulled off a perfect masterstroke and the signing of Werner makes chelsea from 3 a joy to watch.
Ziyech, Werner, Abraham, Pulisic if a fantastic 4 is to be considered.

As regard liverpool, i think they missed an opportunity to make their squad more formidable, and with the Nations cup coming up i hope they don't regret their choices.

Chelsea isnt't joking around this transfer

Good signing for Chelsea to get Werner, he will definitely improve their attack. I think if Klopp really, really wanted him he would have got him. No disrespect to Chelsea but Liverpool are a bigger drawer atm especially to a German player with Klopp as head coach.

Regardless though, a great signing for Chelsea.

Wow...  I never thought any transfer above 30m GBP would happen this year.  Lol.  Looks like I'm losing another bet again.

And here I thought I was hustling them for extra change.  -_-

[Naida_BR]

Great addition for Chelsea if Timo Werner is going to sign for them.
They need players in the front line and Werner is a good choice as he is fast and can score easily.
Didn't expect that Blues are going to "steal" Werner from other teams.

[tomahawk9]

Chelsea ain't stopping, bruh:

They're about to sign one of the best left backs in the PL. Madness...

Wow...  I never thought any transfer above 30m GBP would happen this year.

Remeber the transfer ban? Well, since they've been saving for so long now they're free to spend as much as they can (:

@examplens  that's amazing, slippy G just can't catch a break lol

Manchester City is ranked second in the 2019/20 English Premier League standings, but that does not necessarily make Pep Guardiola feel satisfied, the latest news says that he has called Ismael Bennacer who is now defending Milan to join Etihad.

Unfortunately, hopes to get the player's signature will likely be difficult to realize, according to Football Italia reports, the Rossoneri reportedly had no intention of releasing the player and would reject all incoming offers.

[Harlot]

juve, inter, fiorentina, napoli or fc barcelona - which club is the next in his (Sandro Tonali) young career?

Basing it on the calcio news I have seen Tonali from Brescia's president said that he already declined a move happening from Barcelona as he already knows that he will be covered in depth of the squad. He will likely stay in Serie A where you already mentioned the likely clubs he will go. As for the Brescia club I know that Serie A clubs won't be able to match the offer of Barcelona but the thing is if the player denies the contract the transfer won't even push through so Tonali here is the one who really has the choice of where he would go next.

If the Werner thing is true, then I won't be upset. It's been in the news at least a week now.

I've said it at least twice before on this forum that while I think it's great he's interested and he said all those things -- plus he's a decent player -- I actually still think we got a really good front 3 already and we just need a couple more loanees to develop (thinking of Wilson for example) to take the place. Juggy I fully agree with Liverpool's side if it's true it was the cost that was too much. VVD and Alisson were different prepositions. We absolutely needed them to plug our holes, and they were worth that much at the time of Coutinho's 140M price tag.

Today? $50M is way too much for someone who's not going to be central to our team.

So I'm actually happy if it's true.

@toke yeah sorry man haha.

[Captain Corporate]

 I totally agree that Werner wasn't really needed for liverpool. However I have always said that Liverpool will eventually need some changes, look at champions league this season for example, the team is getting figured out, even barcelona who won like 100 cups a year eventually became bad, liverpool is not like barcelona, at least barcelona has money and youth organization that could keep them at high level, liverpool do not have it that well. At the end of the day, having couple different very good young stars would make sure that Liverpool keeps on being good, if they continue without changing nothing at all they are going to eventually be figured and going to start becoming the liverpool we always remember from the past 20-30 years.

Not arsed about Werner, he looks like a really good player but I don’t want anybody who isn’t solely focused on playing for us. Van Dijk turned City down, Alisson turned down Chelsea. If we are not the first & only choice then I’m not interested.

Klopp won’t let us down, he’ll sign some stars this summer, I’m confident on that.

[Emitdama]

I understand that Werner is a good player and everyone thought that Liverpool who has won the champions league and about to win the premier league and be on champions league next year with a good squad should have gotten him. However, what you are forgetting that this team already played very well on the league, they could break the 100 point record as well so they are one of the best teams ever. Do they really need another player to make it even better?

Would getting Werner really make their team better? Are we 100% sure about it? I think they are already very good, they do not need Werner at all, it has to be someone superstar to make any changes for a team like Liverpool. This is not mbappe or neymar or anyone like that we are talking about, its Werner and he is good but he is not a worldstar player.

and here are two more rumors...

the first one about Florentino from benfica

Florentino wanted by Leverkusen & Man United - "Highly rated midfielder"

Any news on where Pochettino might manage next, I don’t see him being out of a job for too long sureoy. He’s a good manager imo, he could manage a big club.

[Daniel91]

Transfer Market LIVE from Marca.
Lautaro Martinez has already told the coach that he wants to sign only for Barcelona.
Is Antoine Griezmann really thinking of continuing his career in America, in MLS?
After some rumors, Matthijs de Ligt confirmed that he is staying and that he is happy at Juventus.
It seems that Gareth Bale does not want to return to England after all.

where does Mario Balotelli go this time...?


https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/balotelli-to-leave-brescia--lawyers-preparing-contract-termination/view/news/362205

this will be his ninth club change in his career. he has never played more than 2 years in a club...
and he's not even 30 years old...

[Upgrade00]

Any news on where Pochettino might manage next, I don’t see him being out of a job for too long sureoy. He’s a good manager imo, he could manage a big club.

He has been linked to a number of clubs over the past few months, and I don't think he would have been out of a job till now if all leagues didn't enter a forced break.
United, Madrid, Newcastle and City are among the names that have been rumoured as the possible next destination for the Argentine.

I can also see him managing a big club like Madrid or Bayern Munich and succeeding there. There likely be more transfer speculations when most too leagues resume over the next weeks

Of course they do. And no, we didn't really get figured out. Atletico does that with all teams superior to them, and it can work, but it doesn't always work (see their history coming up against Real Madrid). Liverpool does get caught out eventually, it's just a case of what consistently works and what doesn't. Were it not for a bit of bad luck, and Jan Oblak on his super A game, we'd have won and should have won. Anyway, you're right we don't have yet an incredible youth system, so that's what we should work on.

Bringing Werner in could still work, for the time being, but overbidding Chelski might not be a good idea, and it certainly isn't how Liverpool do business. We'll bring others in, and do what we know works. Patience!

Not arsed about Werner, he looks like a really good player but I don’t want anybody who isn’t solely focused on playing for us. Van Dijk turned City down, Alisson turned down Chelsea. If we are not the first & only choice then I’m not interested.

This is the other point I really agree with. Werner looked like the sort of guy courting everyone else at the same time and that probably also threw Klopp off. I still don't know the whole truth but yeah, we want players who absolutely only want to play for the club, and not just the club who wants him most. Because we don't and never will put any player above the club.

We'll sign some more stars, for sure. Or we'll make stars out of the guys we already have. I'm still keen on Taki for example. Could be a monster yet. Wilson when he returns from all his loan spells. We're okay.

Emerson Palmieri according to Tuttosport is close to Juventus.
Sarri wants him back from Chelsea.

For Juventus financial management it will be a done thing only if they can sell Alex Sandro.
Selling Alex means doing capital gains from the sale for the Financial Fair Play equal the the value they will sell.

where does Mario Balotelli go this time...?
...
this will be his ninth club change in his career. he has never played more than 2 years in a club...
and he's not even 30 years old...

He reminds me of Zlatan Ibrahimović or Nicolas Anelka
Thought it sad that we didn't get to see the best of him after moving away from Manchester City.

I can also see him managing a big club like Madrid or Bayern Munich and succeeding there. There likely be more transfer speculations when most too leagues resume over the next weeks

Why would Real Madrid need him right now, yet they aren't done yet with Zidane?
Even if he got there, The Real Madrid boss and the fans are one of the hardest people to impress in the footballing world. With all that immense pressure. There are high chances that Poch would crumble.

I think that Chelsea should not leave Emerson go to Juventus.
He is a great player and adds a lot of value to Chelsea game. Sarri might want him to Juventus but doesn't he really know how long he is going to stay at Turin?
