Summer Transfer Window 2018

[Lineker]

Son, Dier, Trippier, Alli.

More recently than that, no not really. But had lots coming through the youth ranks.

Just the PL.

No that's not true, the EFL voted to have their window end on the same day as the Premier League. I think it's just loans that can still be done until the end of August.

[Arjen Robben]

17-18

Davinson Sanchez: £43m
Paulo Gazzaniga: ?
Juan Foyth: £10m
Serge Aurier: £23m
Fernando Llorente: £12m
Lucas Moura: £25m

Sanchez is good, Gazzaniga just a backup, Foyth seems to be really highly rated, Aurier a bombscare, Llorente a bit pointless, Moura barely seems to have had a look-in since signing.

Sold Kyle Walker, Fazio, N'Jie and Wimmer (for £18m somehow)

16-17

Victor Wanyama: £11m
Vincent Janssen: £17m
"Juan Pablo Gonzalez Velasco": Free
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou: £9.4m
Moussa Sissoko: £30m
Maximus Tainio: ?

Wanyama's decent. Janssen has been... not that. Literally who is Velasco? Is he a regen? Nkoudou rubbish. Sissoko for £30m  Bit of a nightmare transfer window that.

Sold Nacer Chadli, DeAndre Yedlin, Ryan Mason, Tom Carroll and Nabil Bentaleb.

Cba sticking to the format but the season before that they signed Wimmer, Trippier, Alderweireld, and Son. Sold Paulinho, Holtby, Capoue, Stambouli, Chiriches, Fredericks, Soldado, Lennon, Adebayor and Townsend. Which is a good window. Good players in, whole load of shit or not good enough shipped out.

Verdict? REASONABLE BUSINESS.

This is correct. Also apparently we might be signing some centre half from Chelsea on loan. We're apparently becoming Vitesse. Omerou or something?

Isn't Son off playing in an Asian tournament with the Korea U23s at the start of the season? Can easily Moura getting game time and staking a claim for the starting berth.

[Colly]

We've got shit loads of keepers if Chelsea need one. When the squads are named at the start of the season at least two are missing out on a place. Recruitment!

Kenneth Omeruo. I would like to be able to tell you something about him but obviously I've never seen him play.  

[Malenko]

He started for Nigeria this World Cup!

Oh yeah, Moura will get plenty of game time this year. Poch just spent the last six months bedding him in - I expect he'll start on the opening day. He's looked incredibly bright in cameos and convinced he'll kick on. 

Apparently Lamela's getting a new contract. Swoon. 

But yeah, would be nice if we sign someone soon. If the Malcolm fee really is £30 mil, I kinda see us trying hijack that? We wanted him Jan but they asked for way more.

Asian Games. Trying to win it to avoid military service.

Worse than Trump.

Newspaper gossip is saying we've agreed to sell Courtois to Madrid for 31m. I'll believe it when I see something more concrete but it would be nice to have a quick resolution that doesn't result in him leaving for free.

31mil for Courtois is daylight robbery. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah even if he's in the last year of his contract I figured it would be higher than that purely off the Golden Glove he just won, that's why I don't buy it yet.

[stokeriño]

The figure I've seen is 40m euros which is more like £35m, but this is splitting hairs.

TBH I don't even know how the selling club can push the fee higher given the contract situation and how the buying club pretty much hold all the cards.

Contract on a pole match between Sarri and Reals gaffa.

Don't be stupid.

It should at least be a ladder match

[Nerf]

Liverpool have had a second bid of £66m accepted by Roma for Alisson. Seems they got spooked by Chelsea's interest and moved quickly to get it done.

[FLiam]

£66m seems like a hell of a lot of money for Allison. 

Liverpool are throwing money everywhere.

Elsewhere, Everton are in advanced talks to sign Malcolm.

[King Ellis]

Delac should have stuck around at Chelsea, he might have finally got his debut after a decade of waiting. 

There's always Joe Hart...
