Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

This is getting ludicrous and i'm loving it.

My kids show more restraint in a sweetshop!

A$ton Vi££a.

That would look great as a Mail headline!
 
Exciting, isn't it? Hope we'll be patient during the inevitable sticky patch during the season.

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 c***s down at Fulham as well.

What have Fulham London ever done to us, apart from beat us a lot?

Does the transfer window close tomorrow or something?

[Holy Trinity]

I think Smith wants the squad together for a full pre season so I'm not surprised we are going mad with the signings but I am really surprised about luis! Unreal signing!

[Tuscans]

Love going on twitter and seeing fans of other clubs almost drooling.

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

£93.1 million before any signings today. Only Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have spent more (nett) and we will likely go ahead of Dortmund fairly soon.

I know i'm repeating myself again, but they way these targets have been bought in without hardly any speculation is a credit to the club and the staff, seems real classy to me. I'm sure there will be a couple more surprises before the beginning of the season.

Our owners and Deano are doing exactly what they said they would. Come what may, I cannot fault them. I much prefer the type of player we are bringing in than whatever has come before-maybe all the way back to Saunders days.
Yes it might backfire but look at the business sense of the buys. I now believe we are back to saying we will only increase the value of our players even if they fail to excel. No more superannuated also-rans or obscure kids. I would be fine even if Dean signs one or two of these now as we have kept the heart of a settled squad and club, despite the big changes in the close season.
I am definitely up for this adventure.

That's in euros. Same site has it down to £83 million in pounds.

So the defence is done, right? We have 9 defenders in total, 5 CBs, 2 LBs and 2 RBs.

Keeper, another midfield player, 1/2 wingers and a centre forward left?

Heaton, and Trezeguet looking likely?

[Tuscans]

Feels very Chelsea/ City like to a degree when they first started to spend some of their rich owners cash.

[Smithy]

I had assumed with everyone important either en route to the US, or recently arrived in the US, that transfer activity would be a bit quieter until next week. Then I log on to see we've agreed fees for a Brazilian midfielder, french defender and Egyptian winger. Plus an offer gone in for Heaton.

Are we living in some sort of future simulation of Football Manager where the guy playing has given himself a billion quid to play with?
