10 million euros but it halves if they're relegated, which looks likely.

Mirror have some scouting report that describes him as Suarez-lite.
Seems like a good deal. I brought him on FM once. He was a solid backup for Negredo.

I never watched him play this season, so I can't tell anything. :(

Tottenham have completed the signing of Southampton's teenage Welsh international defender Gareth Bale.

Southampton said Spurs will make an immediate payment of £5m, with further additional payments that could see the transfer fee rise to £10m.

I still think this CL match is a wild card. Both teams have such familiarity with each other and how they play, and importantly, results have gone both ways in recent times (though I guess the crucial bit is that Bayern has been taking most of the wins this season).

However, no Gotze is going to be a real blow for Dortmund. If Martinez and Schweinsteiger can stop the ball getting to Lewandowski, their attacking options look fairly limited. On the other hand, Bayern has so many strong attacking players, and the fullbacks participate so heavily in the attack that I can't see how Dortmund's midfield are going to do their job of protecting the back four.

Both teams are extremely mobile so it'll be a real cracking match I suspect. You can't say that either team don't deserve a win, but I'd like to see Dortmund pull off an Istanbul-like upset.

Random question:

Can you guys think of any console-only games (be it retail or PSN/Live) that were released on PC in the last 6 months or so?

I think no Gotze is a blessing in disguise. No way his head would've been in the right frame to play, and there's no way that you could expect him to bury a winning one v one in the final minute.

Grosskreutz is a better defender and allows Dortmund to break with pace through Reus and Lewa.

I think his head would have been fine, but there's no way he would've been fully fit with just 3 days of training.

Lucas is fantastic in the PL, could you imagine him in Serie A? He'd be an even better fit, IMO. He wouldn't need to cover as much space, and he'd be able to conduct the midfield with more freedom. He'd be super good for Napoli. Hope they don't take him.

Behrami and Inler are great imo. Don't need Lucas at all.

Nah, no way he'd cause such heartache to the club he's about to join.

Or at least the doubt would be enough to cause the difference in such a situation.
