I know, I know but one`s got to come off surely. This has echoes of JK from last year - a random tweet at an unearthly hour and next thing you know he`s signed.

Rocky Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Lily Bergen Magnusson striker is set to English B-division Bristol City but affirmed he mbl.is today. English company buys it from the Italian championship teams Juventus. Lily, a 23-year-old defender joined Juventus on loan until the beginning of 2011. The company extended loan six months later, in early 2012, he signed for Italian masters team. He was on loan at Italian B-Division Spezia in 2013, but the last two seasons he has played for Cesena, both in Serie A and B league. Lily is heading to English B-division Bristol City Juventus agreed a three million bid for the player making him the most expensive player in history. The offer was accepted for the Euros but Lily examined the situation at the club for the weekend. He makes three-year contract with Bristol City coach Lee Johnson, who played with the team from 2006 to 2012. Bristol City was a rookie in the Premier B League last season, but the team was in 18th in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 3 mil for an international CB looks good business to me - particularly with the post - euro Iceland premium which is sure to be added. It does seem though that the deal may have been done prior to the tournament from that article. I`d be happy if we paid 3 mil for Nathan Baker so this looks a good deal to me - and may explain why things have cooled off there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
