8MIL REALLY?!?!?!

But pls don't take Xabi. I always try to be understanding of players who leave for other clubs, but Xabi. TT

Transfer sums are pretty random tbh. It's not like he's getting any younger though..

Apparently they'll offer him 10 million a year (for a 2 year contract that would be 20 million)

Not sure how much that is after taxes

[waterpulse]

I'm really sad because I just read something yesterday about how Xabi cultivated his RM image and won't leave ever. TT

i'm over football now. call me next week

[aquaecolore]

So this is looking to be more legitimate by the hour

No denials from any party

No confirmations either

still a bit weird but if true i'm happy with this anyway

[the4thjuliek]

Real is a mess of a team with all that drama and as BuLi viewer (with their decent match timings, lol), I'll be happy if this is true. Though I'd have liked it more if he went back to Liverpool.

[aquaecolore]

To his bff Gerrard? :D

Liverpool has so many midfielders though

Then again so does Bayern

But apparently Guardiola did want one more hm

[the4thjuliek]

Obviously. Gerlonso for life!

Honestly, Pep should work on that defense instead of recruiting more midfielders. Signing Benatia doesn't mean their defense has automatically become good again.

[aquaecolore]

How funny though they'd basically be switching Kroos and Xabi

[biene]

rumours have now started that Reus is on his way to Madrid as well

[aquaecolore]

..I find that more unbelievable than Xabi to Bayern for some reason

[waterpulse]

Xabi for Reus, is that a good deal though?

Somewhat OT.

Video of Pep manhandling Troll Müller.

NO, Pep.

I have to ask - are you on /r/soccer as well? Because everything you post I also see on there, haha.
