Todays Transfer Rumours

Paul Pogba and John Stones, neither of whom are any good

I find it hard to believe that Guardiola has that big a stiffy for John Stones, they've probably got several John Stones in Spain that would cost a fraction of that.

120 on Pogba..insane. Especially if you sended him away for free few years ago.

With Kone seemingly on his way out of Sunderland, they're signing Paddy McNair and Donald Love from Man U. Donald Love is a fucking GTA character.

Not really to be honest, if you are looking for ball playing CB. Their equivalent of Stones would be probably Aymeric Laporte, definitely better all around defender (I know you don't care about ball playing crap, I don't either to some level) and number #1 transfer target for City... but he broke his leg around Spring and later sign a new contract with Bilbao. He would cost 40m euro, so cheaper, but still quite crazy.

Cheaper version of Stones is probably Marc Bartra who moved to Dortmund after a few years of polishing bench at Barca. But at least his price was more reasonable 8m euro.

Never hear about either of Love guys (GTA or United), but McNair seems decent from what I've seen of him. Probably will do better than this African guy bought from Chelsea after playing for them 1 minute

Didn't someone from United have a history with Moyes daughter? Zaha? I guess it was time for a new one

West Ham and Everton interested in winger Ghezzal who plays for Lyon. I think we've had a decent window so far.

How many wingers do you need? You already have Antonio playing as a right back, where is next one going to play? CB?

Can never have too many options, we'll need depth if we make it into the Europa League proper. Jonathan Calleri signing on loan after the Olympics, looks good.

So - Everton is going to buy Bolasie for 28m pounds. I actually like him very much, but price is crazy and I guess I have a tough time accepting it. Especially for someone who is very good when on his day, but really, really poor when it's not.

There is something like having too many players, especially established and on high wages.

£28m for Bolasie. These prices are cringeworthy, he's just an average premier league player..

Ashley Williams to Everton is official. 11m for him looks reasonable in current market, he should be alright for 2-3 seasons.

Everton still need one more CB (hopefully with more pace) and starting GK, but nothing on the latter recently.

Come on mate, haven't you seen how many step overs he can do before he doesn't score or assist?

He also can run really, really fast.

But these might merely be the inflated prices effect in England.

These prices are absurd, £30 million for Bolasie? West Ham only paid £30 million for Payet, Feghouli, and Ayew!

Wasn't Feghouli out of contract?

Kimbo wrote:Wasn't Feghouli out of contract?

Yup. Even so, Bolasie < Payet + Ayew

Calleri set to sign for West Ham pending work permit approval.

Januzaj signs a season long loan with Sunderland.

Good, he's shit.

Torino in talks for Obiang, while we're in talks with Juventus over Pereyra.

Bournemouth has signed Marc Wilson from Stoke, £2mil.

Calleri's paperwork clears, signs on loan.

Defour for Burnley - pretty big transfer for them. Decent player (even if during his Standard Liege years he was expected to be a top level player...) and he helps them in area which is the weakest part of their team (CM).

West Ham interested in loaning Bony for 6 months, he would then be signed by a Chinese club, and also interested in loaning Janmaat from Newcastle.

Are you broke or something? Why would we loan Janmaat out? Plus he isn't even very good.

Didn't you persuade Sam Byram to sign with you over Everton because you promised him plenty of first time football opportunities? And now you want to bring Janmaat, not nice

As Byram's back-up I guess, Byram's looked quite good so far.

We're apparently trying to get another striker after the Ayew injury, being linked with Bacca,Zaza and Bony. Bleh, I wish we'd just get one and be done with it.

Dicky, does this make sense to you on any level? Newcastle loaning out their first choice RB and that RB leaving to be back up to a kid he's probably never heard of? We're not the UK government, give us the fucking money or f**k off.

I dunno, chance at Premier League and Europa League football, or stay in the Championship hmmm.

He has a contract. Take a look at Sissoko.

Sounds like we're selling Janmaat and bringing in Yedlin, and buying Alan Judge who has a broken leg.
