They absolutely steamrolled the Romanian champions tonight.
Ludwig was good, Delaney ever present, Falk industrious and Cornelius (the one Cardiff bought for £8M - then decided he was the main reason they went down, though he almost didn't feature - and sold him back for about half that to Copenhagen) with two well taken headers. A big, strong and very fast lad.
Ha.. he got 7 minutes tonight after playing a blinder in the weekend, and he would walk into other all other teams in Denmark. The squad depth in this FC Copenhagen team in almost unheard of in Denmark.
I guess they will lose Thomas Delaney to a top 6-12 club in the Premier League very soon mind. Southampton perhaps. Or Everton.
Liverpool have failed with an approach for Gremio star Luan Vieira.
The striker is on several clubs' radars this summer after bagging 17 goals last season.
Leicester City have expressed an interest, while Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the 23-year-old's availability.
However, according to Sport, Liverpool have failed in their attempts to prise Luan away from Brazil.
The Reds scouted the forward several times last season and they were reportedly ready to firm up their interest this summer.
But those plans must now be shelved after Gremio told Liverpool that Luan is not for sale at the moment.

Romford Recorder has the scoop !
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic insists that the club were looking for a new left-back even before Aaron Cresswell was ruled out for four months with a knee injury. Sweden Under-21 international Ludwig Augustinsson, 22, who plays for Copenhagen, and ex-Newcastle defender Davide Santon, 25, - now out of favour at Inter Milan - are possible targets.

Santon having a medical, so that means Ludwig won't be joining.
Surprised Bilic is going for him after his time in the Prem up till now. Kinda surprised he'd want to come back in his own right.
Spurs and Everton have made contact over Coric. Sorry, doc.
So this pogba saga is nearly done, they've agreed to let him have his medical. For 100mill this is a huge gamble, if it doesn't work out they might have to 10's of millions of a loss on him to move him on, and at the moment he's not in the very top bracket of players, there's probably a good dozen or more better than him. Hopefully it doesn't work out for them.
What type of player is he?
LB, I think.
Cue questions about why we weren't in for him.

Because we don't think he's good enough ?
Yep, left back. Not sure how he'll do in the PL but might turn out a good signing for them.
BBC reporting that West Ham have signed Ayew.
Aywho?
Get offa mah cloud.
That's their big name striker they were promising the fans. Well played west ham, well played.
Ayew is a shrewd signing I believe, West Ham are really doing well. I even like their version of Andy Carroll.
Everton signing Sunderland and Ivory Coast defender Lamine Kone for £18million as Stone's replacement apparently. They signed him for £6million from Lorient. Is he worth that amount?
[article]Kone won more effective headed clearances (4.27), more defensive duels won (5.67) and more aerial duels (3.27) per game last season than Stones did.[/article]

He'd have been a "shrewd signing" when he was available for nothing in 2015 and offered to play for Liverpool for free for the first half of the season in order to prove himself.
And we still said no.
18mill after 6months in the premier league is a bit of a punt on a defender. Ashley WIlliams for 10-12mill I can understand.
Do you mean it's a sign of approval of his qualities (or lack thereof) that we've rejected him on a free? Or is he too expensive now?
Either way, I've always thought of him to be a rather potent striker.
