Would be gutted to see ASM go but I guess it's felt inevitable for a while. He's the only player of value (away from the big 3 or 4) and we'll barely reach £1m for the other guys we want to offload. I like Barnes but he's a downgrade from ASM and now we're without any flair. Maybe if we gain £15m from these, it can be justified should it fund a LB/RW/CB. But oh man, end of an era. If true.

I didn't know Fabinho had been bad (?) for Liverpool. Wasn't he good but Keita crap?

The fear of Villa is real. It'll escalate on the opening day, where Rennie sends off Shearer to the surprise of Ian Taylor.

Take away Cristiano Ronaldo's goals and he's just a guy who whacks free kicks into the crowd.

Be class if Leicester use some of this money on Jack Clarke

My lass has properly gotten into this transfer (she's Italian) so she's learning so much about this club every day We watched the whole vid and Tonali, bless him, shows so little emotion..... his partner is absolutely outstanding but I was laughing so hard at her canteen gasp. He's left the San Siro and AC Milan yet is being asked to react to our facilities Excited to see him play, mind.

Unfortunately, I don't see how Maxi stays now. If he stays, there's no need at all for Barnes..... I like Barnes a lot by the way. It's just that left wing is the position we least need right now!

Should start using ASM on the right.

Yep, the game is live!!!

Tripper had the league's most crosses and corners by far, bettered only by Bruno Fernandes for chances created. So he was a bonus points magnet, alongside that mint run of clean sheets.

Price reveals have started today, we've been covering it in detail on FFScout. Haaland £14.0m (only the fifth time this has been used as a starting point) Fernandes £8.5m (down from £10.0m last time) Son £9.0m (down from £12.0m last time) Mbeumo £6.5m (moved from up front to midfield, which is even more interesting now Toney is banned) + more

The green top is lush

So maybe Kone is available again

This one hurts, like. Fucking Liverpool too..... can't they just fuck off and stop sweeping up all the midfielders

Wish everyone else would stop doing class deals (not including Rice to Arsenal, obviously) - I really think the Havertz, Mac Allister and Maddison transfers will be a success, with Chelsea set to fluke someone class like Caicedo and Liverpool going for the same midfielders we want. Throw in West Ham being super rich and Aston Villa's impressive ambition, it's going to such a competitive top-eight next season.

I'm fine with us not signing Maddison, as I'm not sure we were truly interested (otherwise Leicester would drag this into a bidding war). And he's not quite what we need. But what does hurt is seeing him at Spurs, where he feels like such a good fit. An annoyingly ok price too, alongside a canny personality. Let's hope they sell Kane and we have an elite player in mind

I wonder what we're planning once Maddison goes to Spurs, Szoboszlai becomes too expensive and Guler picks another of many options. Refuse to believe it's risking a guy straight from Brazil.

I'm just used to it being really difficult to shift out deadwood. Tough enough shifting Fraser, Hendrick, Lewis, Darlow, Hayden etc.

They must think he can play left-back, right? Otherwise this makes little to no sense. Four right-backs, a carefulness with FFP..... eh?!?!

As Arteta is a Pep clone, maybe it's a 3-2-4-1: White - Saliba - Gabriel Rice - Zinchenko Saka - Odegaard - Havertz - Martinelli Jesus

Might have to sell Saint-Maximin now (and change profile pic) because this + Maddison + at least one defender is excessive moolah. But also, let's enjoy the good times. What a coup this is.

WHOA

Anything like £65m would be a bit excessive, mind. Try to keep it around £50-55m, lads.

Excited to see Talksport pundits ask why we're getting Sandro Tonali instead of Sam Toenail.

My brother's mate (inside the club) says they're confident of this one.... must admit, I dismissed the initial link straight away because it sounded mad but perhaps this Maldini departure has caused damage with his beloved club.
