Summer Transfer Window 2017

Willy Caballero is apparently set to be a thing.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Nah, The Thing Mafia ended, pretty sure he's safe.

Barcelona are set to trigger the buy-back clause on Gerard Deulofeu for £10.5m. Doubt we'd have played him because he doesn't seem to mesh with Koeman's system but I'll still be sad to see him go.

Salah to Liverpool for 35 million looks set to be completed this week.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have finalised an agreement for the transfer of defender Theo Hernandez to the European champions, reports Marca.

Madrid have accepted Atletico’s request to pay €26m (£22.7m), €2m (£1.7m) more than the value of the full-back’s buyout clause. Real will pay the full amount in four instalments.

Theo will be presented as a new Real Madrid player in the first week of July.

Meanwhile, Italy fans littered Donnarumma's goal with fake banknotes during the U21 game.

Still annoyed we didn't sign him January before last.

You've already got one Mousa Dembele, don't be greedy.

[Nerf]

There's only one Mousa Dembele!

[Lineker]

And two Andy Goram's!

Everton have strengthened their Premier League 2-winning squad by signing Holland Under-18 international Nathangelo Markelo from Dutch second division side FC Volendam on a three-year contract.

The 18-year-old, who can play at centre-back or on the right side of defence, will go straight into under-23 coach David Unsworth's set-up as they begin preparations to defend their inaugural title.

"I'm looking forward to the season now. I have three years here and I hope to get plenty of playing time, develop as a player and then just keep making steps forward towards the first team," Markelo told the club's official website.

Multiple reports out of Argentina that Caballero has signed a contract with Chelsea and they're just waiting until July 1st to announce.

Erm, yay...I guess.

[Adam]

If Chelsea manage to sign Lukaku and Bakayoko, are they say a defender short of being set for the season? Going to have a very formidable team by the looks of it, can see them and City being well clear of the rest.

[Lineker]

Swansea have signed Tammy Abraham on loan.

[stokeriño]

Apparently Chelsea are doing that thing where they keep submitting incrementally-improved bids for a player (£2m or £3m more each time), which keep getting slapped back because it's Not Happening but they're going to waste a month trying for it anyway.

At least, this is the impression I get from the stories linking them to Alex Sandro. It all feels horribly familiar and fruitless.

Watford have agreed to sign Will Hughes from Derby.

Manchester United have received a £9.7m bid from Real Sociedad for Adnan Januzaj.

[Baddar]

Januzaj 

Hope he does well if we do indeed accept.

£9.7m more than he's worth.

Everton have apparently told Spurs to pay 50m for Barkley, so Spurs have said they're happy to wait. 

My 50m statement from a few days ago doesn't feel quite so stupid now

Everton logic. 

Salah is currently having a medical, really made up by this signing (bar a colossal fuck up). I think it's a smart signing that should add more pace to the team and add a few assists/goals. A front three of Salah/Firmino/Mane excites me. 

Just gotta sort out a centre back, hopefully look for a left back option with Moreno going out and a centre mid option. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Salah had better not be good for you, I don't want to add him to the list of talented players we let go who excel for rivals.

[The Lusophone]

John Aldridge is a cock.
