Moderator Tommy Posted June 20, 2017 Moderator Posted June 20, 2017 https://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/bundesliga/startseite/700012/artikel_fc-bestaetigt_modeste-vor-abgang.html Joining Tianjin Quanjian instead of playing Europa League with Köln. Oh well, at least they'll get some good money from it.
Smiley Culture Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Modeste was were most of Köln's goals come from but if a Chinese club are willing to pay €35m for him, it's mightily hard to turn down. Undoubtedly a massive loss to Köln and someone they'd have to replace because I'm not sure Yuya Osaka, Arjtem Rudnevs, Simon Zoller or Sehrou Guirassy are up to replacing that volume of goals.

God is Haaland Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Modeste's agents were too greedy and wanted money from the 1. ef zeee. Now they're standing there with empty hands. Serves them right.
Administrator Stan Posted June 28, 2017 Administrator Posted June 28, 2017 surely they're now keeping a player that doesn't want to be there any more? Are they going to try and sell him to a European club instead?

nudge Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Done and dusted, Modeste's transfer to Tianjin Quanjian now officially confirmed.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 12, 2017 Author Moderator Posted July 12, 2017 Damn, that was a farce. First he said he didn't want to leave, then they excluded him from the training camp, then he tried to sue his way back into training and now he's gone after all He went from beloved star to being hated. What a way to ruin your reputation.
nudge Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Apparently it was happening more or less every transfer window, not to such degree of course. Köln got a lot of money out of it, and they already signed Cordoba as well, I think they will be fine without Modeste. Reisende soll man nicht aufhalten
Faithcore Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Wow, that came totally out of the blue. Were there even rumours before?
