Those Sevilla academies sound a bit like those expensive summer camps that some clubs do.

Beeb are saying that Lukaku will move to Man Utd for £75m. I wonder what happened with the Morata deal. He was rumoured to go for £65m. Just a reminder that Mou sold Lukaku when he was at Chelsea.

Also, Ginter has gone to Gladbach. I dunno what voodoo magic Aki and Zorc performed to get Eberl to pay 17m EUR for Ginter but it's a record for Gladbach. Bless his soul, I'll miss the Sexiest Pug Alive. I can't imagine Toprak is going to be that much better.

So it's not there anymore. Welp.

According to the Bleacher Report, Man United have ended their interest with Morata. But Real Madrid just kept pushing up the price, I think.

Yeah, I heard that Ginter went to Gladbach. Supposedly Spurs were in for him, but Pochettino waved it off.

Ginter would have been an excellent replacement for Walker but ehh, what to do.

Ginter - Idek. A lot Dortmund fans didn't seem too convinced by Ginter, tbh. The few times I got to watch Dortmund this season (the 14:30 times kill me), he was fine. Considering the body blows Dortmund took with big names leaving, I thought he stepped up, but if you read The Yellow Wall (the SB Dortmund forum) they weren't too convinced by him at all. Oh well.

Also, for those who need a good laugh, here's a list of the best r/soccer thread titles: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/6le4t6/mike_ashley_i_am_not_obi_wan_kenobi_in_charge_of/djt8dwo/

My absolute favourite has to be "Bacca mother: i would hit neymar wit shoe". Not the title per se, but the physics of hitting Neymar with a shoe just seems fascinating to me.

German U19s 3, Bulgarians 0, with a few minutes left to play.

All the best to The World's Sexiest Pug™ at Gladbach. Smart move to stay in the Bundesliga where Jogi can keep an eye on him.

Morata, Lukaku, I dunno. Apparently it's Lukaku. All I can do is hope it works out.

Lol @ Messi and Ronaldo's dueling paychecks. I hope CR7 doesn't throw his toys out of the pram again.
