So that means that Zubi was lying when he said that they wanted to sign Marquinhos...
Hopefully Zubi is lying now again and secretly making a deal for Hummels/Benatia

For Thiago Silva we were too late indeed, but not for Marquinhos as far as I remember. At that time, we simply thought that he wasn't worth those 35M, so we didn't make an offer.We apparently wanted to sign him, but we moved way too late. PSG had already tied him up when we were about to lodge a bid and initiate talks with AS Roma. The same happened with Thiago Silva if im not wrong. We moved way too late for him, he had already agreed with Leonardo to join PSG.
True. PSG actually started to move quite late in the mercato because Leonardo had problems with the french sport tribunal, and Nasser was at RG and then dealt with RM about Ancelotti.For Thiago Silva we were too late indeed, but not for Marquinhos as far as I remember.

He won't leave Dortmund this season. He said it and so did BVB.
Meanwhile, he says that Conte called Alexis to ask him to join Juve, but Sanchez is waiting for the club's decision.
I for one think Rakitic is pretty close to Modric in terms of value, and almost 3 years younger. Serbian, croatian and bosnian players almost always fit in because they are professionals to the core. It's in their nature. Rakitic will become a key player for us in the next 1-2 years.
I'm all for buying players like Rakitic. Not world class yet, not rated 40m, but with a high ceiling and a real chance of becoming world class in the near future. More signings like this one pls.
Haha I already wondered why it took RM so long last year to sign Ancelotti. Now we know the reason ... Nasser was at Rolland GarrosTrue.

The thing is that it isn't even a joke. Last year he even said to a journalist something like "fuck it, i'll see about Carlo after RG" o.oHaha I already wondered why it took RM so long last year to sign Ancelotti. Now we know the reason ... Nasser was at Rolland Garros
