Were now only 1 title off Barcelona's record of 5 but you have to feel sorry for Corinthians. 3rd time in 4 years they've been runner ups to the European teams. The match itself wasn't as close as the result suggests. The Brazilian scored right at the death after we dominated the tie.

Usually i'll wait for a team to announce interest then if its a player imm ready to sell i'll offer them for a huge sum then take the highest offer. Durmaz is the only one i can think of that i didnt negotiate or mess about with as i totally didnt see it coming or value him at £40m
