Dude BUYOUT CLAUSE. 24 million for a 25 year old at the top of the game, with only Toure to contend with for title of most complete CM in the league, that is a BARGAIN!!!!!!

Haha indeed Toure is probably the only other decent DM in the league, but fark me i hate Toure with a passion, is a complete dick when he is on the field.

From the skills video Bernard looks extremely impressive (Brazilian league always has impressive "skills" and mediocre defending, but still). Two footed player, and really good linkup with teammates (esp Ronaldinho), which is important for Arsenal.

I didn't know he had a buyout clause, how long has this been in place? Seems weird nobody has snapped him up before then :/ I always put it down to Everton demanding a lot of money.

I put it down to everyone being a complete idiot and not watching game footage.

Came out to light earlier in the summer when Arsenal supposedly "activated" the release clause of £23-24 million

Certainly bizarre. Surely he's off to a big team in the coming season, surely.

Yeah it's 23.5 mill and expires August 14th, which makes it quite an interesting 'pseudo-deadline'. Man U and Arsenal should both be counting their pennies to work out how much of a wage they can offer him. My guess is Arsenal would be most happy to fork out, I mean they spend silly money on players like Chamakh.

It looks like PSG and Monaco are outspending the entire Premier League despite the new TV deal o_O

Marquinhos, Hulk, they just don't seem to stop ...

I actually bought an Everton shirt with Fellaini's name on it this in December and i was forced to sign a no-refunds policy because he was expected to be sold in January.

Well tough to say between the two. My guess is Arsenal as well unless Rooney is on his way out then Man Utd seems the most likely.

First time we see Hong Myung-bo take charge of South Korea. However it doesn't really count as there are zero European based players in any of the squads.
