Gonna be interesting to see how the honest battling clubs like Watford, Bournemouth and Chelsea go this window in order to avoid disaster next season. It sucks being continuously picked apart by the richer clubs. Mata, Cech, Lukaku, Bertrand, Sturridge and now Solanke. At least if we can sell some players we will have some spending money.
hahahaha nice work!

I'd be interested to hear what people think are reliable sources in this day and age.

I'd have Sky somewhere towards middle to the bottom.
Towards the bottom for me.

I think clubs have certain publications or journos that you know get given info.

For us, Simon Mullock of the Mirror, goal.com and Martin Blackburn of the Sun make you think something might be in it. But of course what the club wants you to know might not necessarily be the full facts.

Would prefer to see Mahrez go to Monaco rather than Arsenal.

Will be weird not seeing him run out with us next season - although, I'd just need to rewatch some of his games last season to remind myself why it's not such a bad thing he'll be on his way.

Makes me wonder why you feel the need for the £500m hyperbole.
Add in Bonucci and however many attacking midfielders

Should get a good fee with them being cashed up.

I don't care what you asked.
For someone who has long maintained that if you have the money to spend it doesn't really matter, you're getting awfully sensitive about people speculating about how much money you'll spend this window. Me asking if those three deals that are all but confirmed are on or off triggering this response from you is a bit strange.

People aren't speculating. They're bullshitting.

Extrapolating a £500m spend because we've bought one player, and have been linked to a few others (with varying degrees of probability) and then adding a random £200m to their rumoured values just because isn't worth getting sensitive about.

As far as I know Silva is the only confirmed deal. I'm guessing Ederson is close, have heard different opinions on Mendy but I'll guess it will be done. Walker might or might not happen and Mbappe is a pipedream atm.

Again, Zidane made a guess of 500m in the nearest the pin thread and came in here saying he isn't far off already based on fees for players who look close to signing. You getting upset by that after previously saying fees don't matter if you can afford it is strange. If you can't discuss transfers in a transfer thread it's probably time for bed.
