They signed Jimenez to a permanent for 38m and look like getting the young Mexican Alvarez.

Reports are Costa has agreed personal terms as well.

They don't exactly need add a whole bundle, they will get a boost from natural improvement, remembering Ruben Neves turned 22 at the end of last season...

They need some better credentialled defenders, which is why they want Alvarez, who can play all across the back 4...

They're competing in Europa, they absolutely need a deeper squad.

Not really considering his age and the long term hamstring issue he had. The one club I can't believe hasn't triggered it is Man United.

We are looking to get around it by offering Toby + 30m to Roma for Zaniolo.
He goes, Sanchez steps up and we look to get another depth defender (andersen perhaps)
Stays, Sanchez likely starts more often than not anyway.

Id be surprised if we can land Zaniolo though.

Clarke, Ndombele, Sessegnon, Ceballos and Zaniolo build a lot of depth in the middle.

And most of that without having to sell Eriksen

Andersen I am pretty sure agreed terms with Lyon.

Would like to see Lamela included in the Roma deal. Just don't think he will be useful going forward given how crocked he usually is. Would rather have a refresh of new attacking players.

Apparently Barca are having such problems with cash flow right now that they had to pay their staff late last month

Concerns in the Barcelona financial department, in fact, have seen employees paid three days late for their June salary.

As such, their plan to have signed Griezmann by yesterday is running into difficulties as they haven't found a bank that will give them the 120m euros they need to pay his release clause

Roma are interested in Toby Alderweireld, who has a release clause of £25million - SkyItaly.
This is why we need to get rid of woodward doesn't know a bargain when he sees one.
 


Think this is a mistake from Villa..

Not this particular signing, but overhauling their CBs so quickly. Need some consistency from the Championship or else they'll be leaky early.

Brentford doing some amazing business.
