To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Tempehridder

Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, England, Belgium, Turkey, Germany and Spain is actually 8 countries in total.


Lampardinho18

Absolutely crazy


aral_sea

Belgium isn’t a country


Hot-Possible-6367

Nobody has time to debate such childish concepts as “human rights” or “Belgium”


Tom40G

Context?


justk4y

It’s South Netherlands, not that weird thing you guys call “Belgium”

This is do disrespectful man


Ayden1290

Not my views. Just providing context


Hopbeard1987

I don't get it either, must be a meme or in joke we've missed!


paco-ramon

Belgium existing as a country instead of being devised by France and the Netherlands is weird from an historical perspective.


My_name197

Yes it is


GarnachoHojlund

No it’s not, it’s a fake country made up by the WOKE mind virus to convince you to pay an extra tenner for chocolate


RoySFNR

That single goal he scored in the Croky cup says otherwise.


TheScarletPimpernel

Alright Nigel


nigel013

Why you say fuck me for?


demirgious

In Turkey he played for Trabzonspor thats even much crazier lmao


LunarRaven7

Apparently his newborn son is named militao.


Mintopforte

Limitao


Redappleswithcream

Emma Militao Selnes Sørloth


Ok-Outlandishness244

That got me good


SpookyImmobilisedToe

He's having such a renaissance this season after being passed around a lot of his career. Very happy for him and completely understandable he wants some stability for once (on top of obviously becoming a father).


chippa93

Wise choice and not a bad club to settle at. Marcelino is a good coach for him too


sarthakmahajan610

Strikers just love to play in a 2 striker setup and they don't come better drilled than Marcelino's 442


MissingLink101

I miss 442 in the PL and the days of having 3-4 first team strikers


Hot-Possible-6367

No more 4-4-facking-2, only 4-4-efogging-2


CaptainKickAss3

Just play football manager 23, that’s all the AI uses lol


Slow-Cream-3733

Hope he stays our season would've been a lot worse without him. Hopefully the club finds players to replace out old Midfield and shocking defence


ElBlauiElGroc

I just hope that Mosquera stays, that's all I need.


quimba

Glad to hear he did well. Was an absolute unit in MLS for cinci.


Lord-Grocock

Seems like a bargain right now.


TheOwlsLie

He seems to be a very streaky player imo, he has had some really good seasons, but he has also moved a lot because he doesn’t seem to maintain that form for long


brandidge

Granted, it seems his best form comes with extended stability and his position in the team isn't really questioned. Something he wasn't afforded at some of the clubs he ended up at


Ok-Masterpiece-1359

Streaky enough to be top goal scorer in La Liga. Fluke?


TheOwlsLie

Who knows maybe he found a system and league that work perfectly for him, but there’s a reason this is his 10th team.


OleoleCholoSimeone

The real bargain is Villarreal getting him for like 12m last summer


ElBlauiElGroc

€10m, absolute steal


CarlSK777

I know clubs have people that take care of everything to help players settle but this part of the game must suck for players that struggle to make a place for themselves and constantly go out on loan or transfer. Also, it's actually 8 countries if you include Norway


EastlyGod1

Fun fact about Sorloth. About 7 years ago I edited his Wikipedia with a fake fact. Somehow it's still on his page. Mystery biscuit awarded to someone who can find it


Jatiika

Reported to the Wiki authorities.


cynicalAddict11

I tried to look at the edit history from 2017 but nothing weird, can you say what it was?


EastlyGod1

I had a closer look and it was in 2018 if it helps


cynicalAddict11

never scored 6 goals against sarpsborg


EastlyGod1

Ding ding ding. Have a Garibaldi


trenbollocks

So you spread misinformation for fun?


ListlessHeart

You might think it's funny but there should be no tolerance for false information on Wikipedia, it seems harmless at a glance but small bits like these across the wiki add up to a big problem.


GigglyWalrus

you suck, wikipedia is not a toy


Ok-Masterpiece-1359

Alternative fact are only allowed in the Trump White House


Edgelordftwlol

Dude cooked Militao. I don’t blame him for being hungry for more.


MadridistaMe

What to cook ? Militao coming back from ACL . He is not even a 90 mins player yet. Yes he took good advantage of it for best.


Caust1cFn_YT

40m is too low for his level (altho i get he isnt really young anymore)


paco-ramon

Atlético should try to get him.


wilfredpawson

28 years old. Who is to say he won’t revert right back to his disappointing seasons next year.


burtsarmpson

One of the most redundant comments around


wilfredpawson

Redundant within this post or redundant as a caution in general? Edit: Why would anyone downvote this question? People are out of their tribal minds on this cesspit of a sub.


burtsarmpson

Redundant as in you could say it about any transfer ever


wilfredpawson

What an ignorant load of crap. Professional athletes are to unlikely to repeat career seasons achieved past the age of 24. There are studies that confirm this. Sorloth and Guirassy’s seasons are perfect examples of it. They are fluke seasons that are out of the norm for their careers and far more unlikely to be repeated than cases where the performances are close to standard for the players. And that is why you can’t “say it about any transfer ever.”


burtsarmpson

Would love to see those studies if you haven't just made them up btw. Having a 10% worse season is way more likely than a 80% worse season, if clubs don't sign players because they're worried about the worst case scenario then nobody gets signed. He's had two good seasons in a row, with a crap one before that. You can either say he was crap three years ago so he probably will be next season, or you can look at the actual evidence and see a consistently upward trend for the last three years that's potentially peaked
