Leipzig signing El Chadaille Bitshiabu today it seems

They will also finalise Lukeba this week, and then we should hear more on this deal.

i imagine txiki had an agreement with Josko being with us for the start of pre season and i wouldnt be surprised if we hear an official deal agreed today at some point.

Im always curious why teams never try and sign the replacement for the big name player, go who dortmund leipzig are after buying not who they are selling

Because the big clubs can’t afford to spend the time to bring those players through with Championships and Cup trophies on the line.

We only hear about the ones that make it big, not the 80-90% you never hear of that don’t end up at a Top 8 CL club.

I think the point made above is partly correct in that it’s a business decision to let clubs like Brighton and Brentford try the players out in the PL first and then we pay them for taking the risk in the form of a large transfer fee.

However, we do sometimes follow their model of a sort. Akanji being the most recent example.

Ivor Tardis, his Croatian teammate?

Is he bigger on the inside?

See what you did there. Although it's taking a while to get this signing over the line, 'I'm one' who's not likely to say 'I've had enough'. ; )

but didn’t you buy akanji from dortmund? that’s really a typical example of buying a player from a bundesliga top club.

gvardiol had multiple offers with i think less than 10 games for senior dinamo zagreb team, bielsa really wanted him in leeds and it was the best offer when it comes to money so even dinamo pressured him. he decided to sign for leipzig because they offered to loan him back to dinamo immediately and let him play there until upamecano leaves, and presented him with a good strategy for his development.

i think signing too early for a top pl club is the best way to ruin your career imho.

Croatian fans here are shit , can’t even tell their friends to go tom cruise style and find out wtf is going on ?

i’m very sorry for being such a failure. i have no ninja and/or special ops skills.
i drink and i know things though!
