Summer Transfer Window Thread 2015

[Hobo]

Christian Benteke is going to be Liverpool's new #9 as Rickie Lambert looks to be off to West Brom.

[Lineker]

 

[Summers]

Yes! 

Great signing. So good.

[brenchill]

I signed him for Villa on FM and sold him to Real Madrid for £30m!

[Cymbols]

Villa's PR team are doing a great job recycling #WelcomeJordan

The picture of Rudy Gestede holding up the Villa shirt has been leaked too, so that's pretty much confirmed. 

[Jimmy]

Saw earlier that Villa have now spent £24 mil on players called Jordan in this window. 

Seriously though, these seem like some pretty good signings, but we've seen a few players come over from Ligue 1 and struggle recently.

Rudy Gestede confirmed.

[Thrilla]

[Lineker]

QPR have signed defender James Perch from Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee. The 29-year-old, who made 42 appearances for the Latics last season, has agreed a three-year contract at Loftus Road.

[9 to 5]

[Summers]

This is the best day! 

 

Love both these signings. We're a far better team today than we were last season. Sherwood is having a great first pre-season.

 

 

[Lineker]

Hull have triggered the £3.5m release clause for Brentford's Moses Odubajo. BBC Sport understands that Brentford have given the player permission to have a medical with their Championship rivals but any other interested clubs have three weeks to gazump Hull's offer thanks to a clause in the 22-year-old's contract.

[Lineker]

BBC Radio Leicester understands that N'Golo Kante has passed a medical at Leicester City. The 24-year-old midfielder is set to join from French top-flight side Caen for fee reported to be in the region of £5.5m.

[Lineker]

 

Two-year deal, undisclosed fee.

Don't get too ahead of yourself, Sherwood couldn't work any magic for our 'magnificent seven'

He did better than AVB.

[Lineker]

We had our best start to a season under AVB.

[Jimmy]

And not satisfied with their business today, Villa's Nathan Baker has signed a new 4 year contract. 

He did better than AVB.

No he didn't? 

Also made most of our senior players want to leave by the sounds of it. Gets credit for Adebayor and introducing some younger players, but his time at Spurs wasn't a good one. He's doing well for Villa so far though, and on paper you've made some good signings, am excited to see him try and integrate them and hopefully bring some young players through like he did with us. 

[Lineker]

Middlesbrough have signed 21-year-old defender Jack Stephens from Southampton on a season-long loan deal. Stephens extended his contract with Saints until 2019 before completing his loan move to Boro.

His win ratio was second to none.
