I heard they were EYEING a move for him, not weighing.

It all depends on the TRANSFER WAR CHEST Benítez will get.

Lots of talk in Germany that Goetze to Liverpool for £20m is "all but done."

Liverpool appear to have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Mario Götze after the Germany international apparently committed his future to Bayern Munich.

Jürgen Klopp has identified the man who scored Germany’s winning goal in the 2014 World Cup final as a transfer priority and was optimistic of completing a deal for around £20m. However, despite reports last month that the 23-year-old has been told by the incoming Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti that he does not figure in his plans, the German newspaper Bild quoted Götze as saying he has now decided to remain in Munich.

“I look forward to the new season in Munich and will do everything possible to be in top shape for my first training session under Carlo Ancelotti,” he said.

One of the big things about it is that his agent won't be his agent anymore. Supposedly he was pushing a move away and now he's been relieved of his services.

Newcastle are weighing up a move for Angers' central midfielder Cheikh N'Doye. Cracking signing for the championship if true.

 

Newcastle's summer transfer policy

Is he a defender?

Y = Sign him up

N = We don't need him.

I don't want Goetze at Liverpool. We have three number ten style players; we don't need a fourth. Get a proper winger or two, maybe a center midfielder, and for the love of God a fucking left back. 

The deal for that Mainz keeper seems about done.

Brilliant signing. Not even a week since the end of the season. Nice to be getting things done early.

I agree ... until I remember that this'll likely be the only person we sign that can legally drive, smoke, drink, and vote during the summer window.

 

Case in point:  We're apparently looking into Maxi Romero again ...

There's no such thing as a DONE DEAL until there is a LEAN

About done, not done! We know no Liverpool signing is finalized until you get that Liverpool Lean

West Ham are believed to be on the verge of signing Gökhan Tore from Besiktas.

Forgive me if I've missed something, but where are West Ham getting all the money for their recent bids?

Not paying for a new stadium and selling your old one for £70 million is a massive help.

How many 'Lukaku to Chelsea for an awful lot of money' stories should I ignore before I am forced to consider there might be something in it?

At least three more. A good number.

DESK LEAN - Karius has officially signed and will be our new number 1.

[TCO]

Gokhan Tore is a cunt and completely fucking insane by all accounts, delighted to see him sign for West Ham!

[Nerf]

£4.7m is a ridiculous bargain for Karius. Absolutely delighted.

[Arjen Robben]

We're apparently close to signing Viktor Fischer for £3.8m

[Lineker]

That's a shit lean tbh.

Joey Barton has signed a two-year deal at Rangers.

[Adam]

Why haven't you reported yet on Doncaster Rovers swooping for their second summer signing already, Matty Blair on a free from Mansfield!?

[Lineker]

Because you're shit?

[Gazz]

So much for BBC neutrality.
