Wow

Isn't there talk that these Sporting players signed on a free will eventually cost the buying club a fair bit?

May come to that, true. Just interesting in the case of Gelson since Atletico had offers turned down twice for the same player recently. Sporting will be mired in courts for some time trying to recoup millions

We could do far worse than Zenit’s Oleg Shatov if we want to seriously strengthen our midfield.

It's always been Jorginho's position. Think we'll have to agree to disagree. I personally don't see Thiago as a suitable 6.

Only under Sarri
Thiago is better defensively than Jorginho but fine

Arzani is unlikely to ever play for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side but could net the club a significant profit after going out on loan. The player is currently in Melbourne and ready to fly to the UK at a moment’s notice to conclude the deal. [SBS]
