Swansea have signed Chico. It must be his time.

We go £4m, they say £8m, we'll most likely agree on £6m. The club like him and he wants to join, it'll be so frustrating if this falls through.

Newspaper watch: Adrian Mariappa is joining Wigan for £2.5m http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2171184/Adrian-Mariappa-set-2-5m-Wigan-switch.html Modibo Maiga is joining West Ham for £4.5m http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2171192/Modibo-Maiga-set-West-Ham.html Man Utd 'closing in' on Leighton Baines for an initial £12m, rising to £16m http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/261364/Sir-Alex-Ferguson-big-cash-bid-to-bag-Leighton-Baines/?

If £10m is excessive, I dunno what to call £15m DO IT!!!

Oh man, this is brilliant.

Backup plan to Luuk De Jong...

Youngster going straight from Brazil to England Gut instinct says it won't go well but we'll see. Guess it means Hulk isn't coming to England.

Another big wage saved. Thanks for everything Steve, although your loyalty stopped you from having a good career and probable England caps. Good luck

On the Sky Sports story, all the Scousers in the comments are certain it's Demba Probably that Gaston Ramirez fella.

£5m is a bargain, like....Levy does it again.

If Taylor was a sensible lad, he'd know we need a big squad and that his fitness record is terrible. But he isn't.

And if he's one of four midfield targets, I'd imagine the others are better value for money than what we'd ask. A total non-story.

If they did twice as well, they'd still only be 19th

The only show i can tolerate on talksport is Keys & Gray. They dont try to wind up listeners and do good interviews.

Pires is now a legend.

Werder Bremen

Most boring transfer saga of the summer?

Twitter reckons that Salomon Kalou is joining Lille. Good signing.

Ohhh that's a good 'un

Sure he'll hate the Champions League next season. What yee rolling at. Very little difference between both clubs. Both been in the shitter recently, almost identical crowds, last success a fair few decades back. Difference here is that they have CL football and a place as #1 centre forward. Oh and that they're willing to pay the fee. They're unlikely to get through the qualifier though, surely.

Silly if Bielsa has quit over this.....what a waste of last season's work.

Fee was getting ridiculous. We'll be absolutely fine without him. Next.

:lol: Wonder what pitiful amount Brighton are contributing to his wages. Alan-Smith-at-MK-Dons level, probably.
