Borussia Dortmund have signed 18 year old Brazilian attacking midfielder Reinier on a 2 year loan from Real madrid.
He was impressing for Flamengo at 17 and cost Madrid €30m so it's a great signing for Dortmund.
They now have Sancho, Haaland, Bellingham, Reyna, Reinier and Moukoko all under the age of 20.
Fantastic place for young talent to go and learn and develop. They’ll get opportunities and be coached by impressive coaches and surrounded by talented players. Would always encourage more of our English young players to go to somewhere like Dortmund for a few years if they got the chance.
It’s not worked out for Lookman at Leipzig, but his confidence has been hit so badly. If he went to somewhere like Dortmund before Everton, it might be a different story now. The boy has real talent, he just seems to need someone to put their arm around him and remind him how good he is.
Definitely going to be doing a Bolton at the moment, just relieved for them they wont have 12-pts to make up
Means they stand a chance if they can avoid being cut adrift before January and get sorted before then at the latest
Isn’t Jamal Lowe on the move as well?
If only we were in a position to sign players ourselves, would love Nathan Byrne back. He has improved massively since he was here and him and hopefully Matthews, would be the best two full backs in the league.

Do we really need the best two full backs in the league when one of them would be sitting out every week, waste in my opinion. Given the budget restrictions I’d be very happy with Matthews and then Deji and Sarpong providing the cover.

Yeah I was going to mention Nathan Byrne when I posted as would love him back, even if we were to play a flat 4-4-2 with him in Midfield ahead of Matthews!!
Didnt really want to say in my original post as felt a bit like picking over a carcass
Trouble is I mention them doing a Bolton but they're even losing their kids to Premier League teams!!
Just seen Swansea have offered £500k for Lowe when Wigan paid £2mil to Portsmouth last summer.
They still owe them £750k from that transfer.
Swansea offering that amount is taking the piss!
Pathetically selfish from Swansea to offer such a low amount to Wigan at this moment.
I imagine Wigan's administrators will be hoping someone else tops that bid.
Eye opening that they still have £750k to pay though
I was wondering if the 750k was add-ons earned from last season, rather than part of the original fee.
Nope, part of the original fee. He signed a 3 year deal last summer. That alone knowing he has another 2 years left and a fee outstanding of greater than the amount Swansea offered makes it all the more piss taking.

Chelsea got dealt the blow with Lamperty who refused their offer and moved to Brigton earning eight appearances before the end of the season
Man Utd have now lost Angel Gomes to Lille (Boavista on loan) for the same reasons
Long may it continue
Antonee Robinson is the latest top leave Wigan, off to Fulham
He was impressing for Flamengo at 17 and cost Madrid €30m so it's a great signing for Dortmund.

I know they’re in a very serious position, but if it carries on for much longer, they could be in real danger of going down again.
