It's not like it's the first time this has happened. Man Utd spent, what, £85m bringing back Pogba?

It also doesn't really seem like Pogba returning helped Utd all that much, given the on/off relationship he seems to have with everyone that isn't Raiola. If Lukaku can deliver 10+ goals a season then he's already going to improve a Chelsea side that just won the Champions League.

Rom will give you more than 10 goals. Great striker, given the right service.

Axel Tuanzebe has joined Aston Villa on loan.

Step up from Kortney Hause as backup to Mings/Konsa, gives us a back three option, and knows the club. Good move all round.

Inter are getting Dzeko to replace Lukaku.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Seemingly still want Zapata too.

This is exactly what I'm hoping for.

Lukaku obviously isn't being brought in to play second fiddle to anyone, which likely means that Werner will shift out onto the left wing or a supporting role. I do think we have too many options in attacking roles now, so someone has to go.

Ziyech would be my first choice to cut as I wasn't too impressed with him. Hudson-Odoi would ideally be shipped out on loan somewhere for a season, not sure where though.

Here's where I keep seeing other clubs buying people and I get jealous whilst we just quietly keep renewing contracts and journalists close to the club keep playing down us doing any more business 

[Szumi]

Yeah. It's why I'm going into the season with the goal of Top 4 only in the league. I don't see how were expected to compete with City or Chelsea for the title right now.

A signing! Absolutely massive this.

This is the happiest I’ve been about a signing in as long as I can remember.

[FLiam]

Ugh. I am not a fan of this. No reason why he couldn't have been part of our squad for this season. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Arsenal are going to pay 80 million for Willock in like 4 years.

Great signing for Newcastle, definitely the happiest one has made me in white awhile.

We have supposedly chucked in a cheeky bid for Messi. Why not I suppose

I'd be surprised if most teams haven't, there's no downside and there's a one in a billion chance he says yes.

A textbook reverse-Shearer.

[Baddar]

Leicester are signing Vestergaard from Southampton.

[FLiam]

Sounds like the Ramsdale to Arsenal deal is off. We really need to get our arses into gear and sign a goalkeeper. 

Or hop into a time machine, go back a year and not sell Martinez.

[Baddar]

Fab says City are looking to increase their bid for Kane to around €150m (£128m) with bonuses on top of that.

I think that's on page 52 of the Kama Sutra.

Southampton honestly a good bet for relegation at this point. They've sold off the best parts of their team, might be selling JWP, and haven't really brought in any proven replacements. Armstrong could prove to be good business, but there's loads of strikers who can't make that step up.
