Seems he didn’t want to leave Germany.
Getting rid of a bench warmer and getting 2 star players (in their own respective teams they were) + having money left to buy a defender, wow
They definitely are the early winners of the transfer window
Fucking hell they're doing absolute bits. Their efficiency is enviable.

Seems alot easier to do in Germany at reasonable prices.
I wish we'd raid Wolves, Leicester and others for their top talent but we are simply priced out.
Brandt and Hazard in for less than £50,000,000 is top business.
Buy out clauses are standard in Germany are they not? And it doesn't seem like thay have reached the ludicrous figures of the Spanish ones.
Pay the buy out clause, skip negotiating with the club and go straight at the player.
Eriksen ain't going to Madrid if they sign Pogba and Hazard. Both will cost 200 million plus and no way a club will pay 100 million plus wages for Bale.
Madrid still need defenders, arguably a goalkeeper and a bit more.
If Eriksen wants to leave though, then lets not get into a hope and see scenario.
Ceballos is a far better player than Gomes.and he's also only 22 years old.
Think Poch could turn him into a very impressive player personally.

Hazard has one year left on his deal. They'll get him at a cut price.
As I'm sure you're aware it's made all the more difficult by there being 4 (arguably 5) teams with more spending power than us in our league. Also doesn't help that the whole EPL-proven thing means you're a credible target for any team that takes a shine to you, regardless of what league they're based in..... Bit like what Sinatra says... "If I can make it there I can make it anywhere".
Whereas it seems we can only really 'rely' on EPL or CL proven....
Potter going to Brighton means we should be able to sell CCV to them right? He got a lot of game time under Potter at Swansea.
I also get the impression there's a reluctance from anything but established top players to leave the BL.
Send him Jansen for a year too.
They have a process, they know their process, and they stick to their process, regardless of manager. It's how you need to be.Fucking hell they're doing absolute bits. Their efficiency is enviable.
It's what we need to establish, as that's what has really held us back over the last 3-4 years.
My big frustration is that we were often offered the players first, and then stupidly passed on them. Pochettino needs to be taken to task over that, I feel.
Not mandatory but a little more common, seems to be similar to Toby in they kick in during the last year or so of the contract
The smaller German clubs are probably more reliant on player sales as well so they don't do the silly high clauses.
We are now higher up the food chain, they won't get the game time here they need to help their progress.
Ok, so direct Eriksen replacements are no longer available. Any rebuild now also requires a major change in style, if Christian does leave.
It's the players who insist before they sign a new contract, the selling club would rather not have them
