Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

[Tuscans]

Yep just heard. How much have we spent now assuming these deals go through? £120m?

Uh, I don't know how much the Engels deal is but I think it was about £83 odd before him.

I genuinely cannot keep track of all this activity!  We're going crazy!

When the Spurs game comes round I'll probably only recognise about 4 of the starting 11!

It's sinking in now, these guys are no Lerner with a few bob, they are deadly serious with a plan and very deep pockets...it's going to be a hell of a ride.

I don't think these guys are going to be content with mere first season survival. I don't think they'll be talking a good game like previous owners have but will just quietly about getting the job done and push to see what we can do.

Guillem Balagué reckons he could potentially be one of the best midfielders in Europe

I heard him say the same about some bloke Southampton picked up to be their manager from Espanyol. So these days, I happen to take his opinion.

In fairness, I'm sure analysts have calculated a projected sell-on profit for all new recruits, plus the money gained by another season in the PL, and Edens and Sawiris have both said "Fine. Spend."

Which isn't exactly the Lerner approach of "Martin assures me that if we spend 80m we will get to the Champion's League and potentially win a cup."

There are still risk factors, but I'd wager there's mitigation for every single one.

This window's been great, buzzing for the start.

Apparently we've enquired about Ryan Sessengnon as well. I was only thinking yesterday that he could be a good shout. Massive 2 fingers up to them ****** down at Fulham as well.

Suggestions of an €11m bid being accepted for the Trezuguet fella.

[Tuscans]

Mahmoud Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan ( Trezeguet ) - fee agreed.

Phew!  Thought we were never going to sign anyone - it must be at least 45 minutes since we bought a player!

Are we having a manic episode?
