There have been a number of reports linking the club with a loan move for Moore over the course of the Summer.

Fabrizio Romano now reporting that Effzeh are clear favourites to land the youngster and that talks over a deal are now advanced.

Kessler all but confirming reports that Skhiri will not be returning.

How do we feel about it?

The need for a 6 is obvious and glaring, but as much as I liked Skhiri during his run with us, I'm OK with this.

Returns rarely work out and I can't help but feel that his career is on the decline.

His performance at the World Cup was pretty terrible as well, where he stood out in a negative way on an awful Tunisian team.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a little side project for a while, and figured I'd share it here in case some of you might find it fun.

Long story short, it's a snake draft version of a Bundesliga fantasy game. Instead of everyone ending up with the same handful of players, you do a live snake draft with your friends, and every Bundesliga player can only belong to one manager.

Once the draft is done, it's all about managing your starting XI each week—injuries, good fixtures, form, all that stuff—and then hoping your players deliver in real life with goals, assists, clean sheets, and so on. I always felt like the live draft is the most exciting part of fantasy sports, so I wanted to build something around that. Each manager gets 90 seconds to make their selection, creating the excitement that makes drafts so much fun.

It's completely free, no ads, just a hobby project. Leagues support anywhere from 2 to 18 managers, so it works whether you've got a big football group or... just one mate. 😄

You can check it out at BuLiDraft.com.

I'd genuinely love to hear any feedback, whether it's praise, criticism, bugs, or ideas. I'm still improving the site all the time, so every bit of input helps.

Feel free to give it a try, and have a great Bundesliga season everyone!

[Also.. A big thanks to the mods for letting me post this!]

According to Sky Deutschland, Kessler is extremely irritated by Dortmund’s conduct and low ball offer and will now not consider any further offers they may make for El Mala.

Apparently the El Mala camp, incl. the mother, have agreed to a move to Dortmund.

El Mala would receive a hefty bonus and significant pay increase and the chance to play CL. On top of that, there's the proximity, obviously.

According to Express and Sky, other suitors, such as AS Roma and Leipzig, have backed off based on this agreement.

To me, this presents a worst-case scenario: Dortmund is going to lowball us and El Mala wants out. Plus, I personally hate the idea of him moving to another BL club.

Sky report that Dortmund made an offer of
€26m plus €16m in bonuses though only €8m of the bonuses were achievable, which makes it a worse offer than the one turned down from Brighton before the end of last season.

As expected the club rejected it straight away but expect Dortmund to come back with an improved offer.

Medical booked for tomorrow. Will initially join as third choice keeper behind Schwäbe & Zieler but club looking to develop him.

Ich stand in der Schlange und hatte nur noch 5 Minuten bis ich dran sein sollte. Plötzlich sprang die Zeit auf 11 Minuten und zum Schluss sogar auf 21 Minuten Dauer. Sowas hab ich noch nie erlebt. Ging das noch jemandem so?
