Maybe the plane dropped off Bajcetic to complete his loan move to Red Bull Salzburg.

L'Equipe: Bayern München agree transfer of Kingsley Coman to Al-Hilal. Player still undecided.

Yeah, Gourna-Douath is highly rated - as are many young players here in Salzburg. The average age of their starting eleven is around 21 years right now. The thing is, he might be 1-2 years too young for LFC. Many of these players are hugely talented, but they may not possess the experience required by the people in charge of transfers.

German website Kicker.de says the asking price for Tyler Morton is 25 million Euros. Leverkusen don't want to spend that much and are trying to negotiate a loan deal with an option to buy, or an obligation to buy depending on the number of matches played. Source: kicker.de

Transfer of Bobby Clark to RB Salzburg confirmed. He will surely do better here in Salzburg than LFC legend Andre Wisdom... --> Article (in German)

I dread some other club Pippin us to a signing at deadline day. Why Took it so long to accept that Zubimendi won't come? Not a Merry transfer window, this.

Endo - according to Kicker.de the 6th best DM in the German Bundesliga and categorized "international class" (same as Kimmich). Ranking

I bought a shirt with “Kewell“ (No. 7) right after we signed him. Thought he was the one to win us the league - and it was a beautiful (white) away shirt too. Sadly things did not turn out so well. Other shirts included Redknapp (1995), Fowler (1999 - chose him over Hyypia), Gerrard (2001, 2005) and Alonso (2004). Nothing out of the ordinary there. My wife still likes her “Heskey“-shirt though.

A German TV commentator at the match FRA-NED just said there are rumours of Lemar doing a medical for Liverpool after the game. BTW Lemar started the match and is taking all of France's set pieces so far.

VfL Wolfsburg want Origi says Kicker (article in German). Talks are ongoing. Other clubs also interested.

Here's some info on the deal from reliable German website Kicker.de: Says the release clause for next summer is € 55 mio. To make sure a deal gets done – and to fend off other suitors next summer – LFC were prepared to pay more than the clause demanded. IMHO – and having watched Keita playing in Salzburg for a year – this deal is a steal. RB Leipzig, as well as Salzburg before, offer the perfect surroundings for young players to develop and improve. We will get an even better player next year.

Was that Gerard Houllier in the stands a few minutes ago? He's still affiliated with Red Bull's football business as far as I know...

I can't remember Mignolet leaving his goalline to gather high balls played into the area between the goal and the penalty spot. As good as his reflexes are when staying on the line – this is not how you instill belief in the players in front of you. Great keepers like Neuer or Courtois bully opponents out of their way and eliminate the danger by either gathering the ball or pushing it out of the box with their fists. Mignolet keeps watching as the chaos unfolds around him instead of taking action.
