Pretty sure that Golovin is the name of a purported aphrodisiac, available only via dodgy internet banner ads.

Clearly that's Roman's attempt to lure LVG and some horny football.

Man Utd are interested in bringing in Lee Grant from Stoke as our #3 keeper/coach.

[DavidMarrio]

Adam Bogdan is available...

And he's a Manc! Perfect.

Newcastle have announced the signing of Ki Sun-Yueng from Swansea on a free transfer.

[Lineker]

Leeds have signed Lewis Baker from Chelsea on a season-long loan. Goalkeeper Jamal Blackman likely to join him on a similar basis.

Transfermarkt.com tends to be pretty good (although easier to figure out if you're looking up one specific team, I find).

Thanks

Sokratis to Arsenal confirmed! Spurs must be shiting themselves

[Lineker]

Good thing it's football, not Scrabble.

[TCO]

I'm just happy to be reminded that an actual real person is called Jamal Blackman.

I wouldn't be massively impressed with a word that scores 12 tbf.

 

Oh and Juve have offered £88m for Cristiano Ronaldo

Tee hee hee, he is called Blackman and he is black man!

[Arjen Robben]

So... Ronaldo apparently might be going to Juventus?

[Gazz]

It's a weird one because on paper, £88m for a 33 year old sounds mental but then a. It's Ronaldo and b. He will play at the top level until he's 40.

[Hobo]

Makes sense to move to Italy then. It's the home of incredibly old footballers who are inexplicably still playing.

Really? I mean yeah he is the most physically complete athlete to play football at anywhere near his level (I still think Messi is a better technical footballer, but that's by the by) but to play as a forward in the champions league/premier league/la liga at 40 would be incredible... Serie A less so but still impressive. If anyone could it'd be him but he'd be nowhere near as effective and I think he'd be far more likely to bugger off to America/China/wherever else wants to pay him silly money to play in a tin pot league in about 3-4 years time.

[Moses Julep]

I’m honestly shocked Man United aren’t going for him.

Career expectancy in Italy is way higher anyway, that's before taking into account Ronaldo's role in recent seasons meaning he barely ever has to burst into an actual sprint. And obviously on top of that, he takes very good care of himself.
