Winston Biscuit Hull City win the race to get Louie Barry on loan.

Reckon most of the Championship were trying to get him. Going to be interesting to see how he gets on under Selles


Barry would have fit Selles' plans/style here like a glove. Quick, nimble, skillful sort-of winger.

Winston Biscuit Marmoush to City for €70M is done

Kyle Walker has also joined AC Milan making him the 4th Englishman in their squad right now


Looking forward to seeing which undervalued player Eintracht sign next and then sell for stupid money 18 months later after they score a shedload of goals.


Well they used €25m of the Marmoush money to sign 22 yo Elye Wahi from Marseille - 44 goals in 125 Ligue Un games and 2 goals in 6 Champions League matches.

And their exports aren't always a success. Eintracht bought Jesper Lindstrøm from Brondby for €7m, and sold him to Napoli two years later for €30m, seen as a very promising attacking midfielder. The Dane didn't score a goal in 29 appearances in Italy, managing just one assist. He's now on loan at Everton, and is yet to score in 21 games, again recording one assist.

He was absolutely fantastic in an Eintracht shirt - quality player.

There definitely does seem to a be a trend that a player joins Eintracht, has the season or seasons of their career and then reverts to their mean or just doesn't fit where they moved.

Kolo Muani being another example - free transfer in - 26 goals and 17 assists in 50 games for Eintracht - sold for €95m to PSG - struggled to even break into the team. Has just scored on his Juve debut though.

Luka Jovic being another, successful at Eintracht, disaster at Real - there are likely more but these are the ones that come to mind.

Probably still get selected by Columbia though, so possibly not quite the career ender that it would be for others at 21.

Ugh. Modern-day football. Looks a real star. Villa can't turn down the reported £75m though.

some reports saying Victor Boniface is in talks with a Saudi club for a big money move, but Leverkusen are currently denying it

Boniface to Al-Nassr is apparently off - which benefits West Ham. Leverkusen had looked to replace Boniface with Brighton's Evan Ferguson, but West Ham now set to sign the Irishman, potentially on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.

1 - I'm amazed no-one has gone for Gyokeres in this window, the guy is a superstar. Maybe Sporting have made it clear he isn't leaving for now. 2 - rumours United will pounce in the summer, for me if Salah leaves, it is Gyokeres that Liverpool should target to replace him. Just a year older than Salah was when he arrived at Anfield, he has 75 goals and 22 assists in just over a season and a half.

heard journalists say that a few times. They are bang up for letting go in the summer, and will even consider offers below his release clause, but they are on for a special season and so he is staying put for now
