"Where did that come from?" Twitter stunned as James Rodriguez makes two-year loan switch to Bayern Munich

Well that escalated quickly.

If you'd have asked football fans this morning about where they thought James Rodriguez would end this summer's transfer window, the chances are that Bayern Munich wouldn't be near the top of the list.

The Colombian has been earmarked for the exit at Real Madrid all summer, but the general consensus seemed to be that he'd join either Manchester United or Chelsea, only for Bayern to swoop in on Tuesday afternoon and complete a two-year loan deal out of the blue.

The brisk nature of the German giants' move seemed to take everyone by surprise, as fans were left both impressed and stunned by the deal.

Here's just a small section of their reactions.

There was shock (alright, a lot of shock)

Prices were compared

Some people were seriously impressed

But fans of other clubs weren't happy

If only all transfer deals were as exciting as this, eh?
