It’s looking likely that these 4 midfielders are the chosen alternatives:
🇲🇦 - Ayyoub Bouaddi (18)
🏴 - Alex Scott (22)
🇨🇲 - Carlos Baleba (22)
🇫🇷 - Aurélien Tchouaméni (26)
If you had to choose 2 of these signings, which 2 would you choose? 👇
Every top club seems to need a defensive midfielder this summer, and the prices have gone absolutely insane.
Elliot Anderson: £116m
Sandro Tonali: £100m
Mateus Fernandes: £85m
Just a couple of years ago, people thought £100m for Declan Rice was a one-off. Now that looks like the new benchmark. Anderson’s fee has basically reset the entire market, with clubs using it as the reference point for every elite midfielder.
What surprises me most is how few genuine top-level CDMs are actually available. Every club wants one, but almost nobody is willing to sell. That scarcity is driving prices more than anything else.
And then there’s Spurs…
If they really pull off Mateus Fernandes for £85m and Tonali for £100m after already strengthening other areas, that’s one of the boldest transfer windows we’ve seen in years. Whether those fees prove to be worth it is another debate, but you can’t accuse them of lacking ambition.
Feels like we’re entering an era where a top-class CDM costs as much as a world-class striker used to. The position has never been more valuable.
Do you think these are fair market prices now, or has the CDM market officially lost the plot?
There is a spot on my gmaster 85mm 1.4. Can you guys tell me what spot is this ? What can i do ?
I always knew Ludwig Kaiser was destined for bigger things. The moment he got the El Grande Americano gimmick, he completely ran with it and made it his own.
What started out as a joke has somehow grown into one of the most entertaining and memorable acts in WWE. Seeing how much the crowd has embraced it is incredible.
I’m genuinely happy for him because the talent was always there. He just needed the right opportunity to show it. With the way the character has been presented lately and the support behind it, it finally feels like WWE is recognizing just how good Ludwig Kaiser really is.
From day one, I knew he had star potential. It’s great to see the rest of the world catching up.
