Sounds like Chelsea and AM have agreed a £40m deal with a further £10m in add-ons for Diego. Only thing holding it up is Costa paying his fines.

Ox is a great addition to the squad and I'm pretty disappointed we missed out.
Agree, while not cheap(or great) he's a pretty versatile player. Would have been handy for us and filled a few holes. He's a good squad signing and will be be good for Pool as long as he's not a Cout replacement.

I'm starting to get really worried that we've missed to many targets and are going to be left short in a few areas.

Verona in talks to sign Bony on a loan to buy type deal.

I guess that's a 1m pound loan fee paying 12% of his wages with a commitment to buy for another 10m if Bony scores 20 goals this season :)

Apparently Arsenal didn't want to sell to us, so we waited for Chelsea to make an offer for Chamberlain and then matched it, leaving them with no choice but to accept. Smart.

Spending £35m on him with 1 year left on his contract still seems excessive to me though, but if it doesn't preclude us from signing our other top targets I'm not too fussed. We'll see.

We're potentially putting together a seriously strong and balanced looking squad. Van Dijk is still the critical one for me.

Coutinho Keita
Henderson
Milner VVD Matip Clyne
Mignolet

AOC Sturridge Lemar
Lallana Wijnaldum

Ox, Lemar and VVD on the last day of the window?

That'd cost you 180m+

Not sure I can see that happening
