Unreal few minutes. Can't wait to see more on the weekend already. What a signing.

TRIPPIER!!!!

Carpets gonna be worn to shreds by FT.

Would presume he's not simply sitting on his arse doing nothing in this period & likely already putting plans into place for when he officially takes over. Good news that the ball is finally rolling.

Paranoia is starting to kick in a little after being seemingly strung along by Man U for Lingard... Sure it's all fine but would be good to get this one announced soon.

What was weird was SSN saying when they went to the break "coming up next, more developments on Dele Alli with another club entering the mix" (or words to that effect), and then they returned from the break and carried on as if they'd never said it .

Would rate Alli coming in if only to weaken Everton late on.

Just change the title to 'no hope'. FFS, what a waste for all involved.

Just caught that too. Is he really the best 'expert' they could have got on transfer matters?

Ridiculous to be expected to work on a day like today. Everytime I check back there's a new player in the mix.

Targett, Hugo and Lingard then? Would be very pleased with this assuming Burn goes through without issues.

Was also wondering if having a fellow Brazilian alongside him can help Joelinton even more too in the middle. Can only be a good thing for him.

Yup - he may not always be first, but he won't confirm unless he's certain.

Fuck yes!

Yeah, if you follow through to the most recent thing the Mirror said, it was just repeating that his medical was taking place yesterday.

Dele Alli, Dan Burn & one other from under the radar is my guess now - assuming Bruno also goes through smoothly.

So it's now €52m with bonuses? Yesterday they were OK with €40m .

International games in all continents apart from Europe. Pretty weird, UEFA didn't schedule games so most top leagues taking a break or playing a round of cup fixtures this weekend.

Holy shit. Can't believe anybody was doubting footballinsider247. Come onnnn.

Medical today sounds way too good to be true, refusing to believe until a regular source confirms it. Would also be a huge boost to attracting other players before the end of the window though if this somehow does get done in the next day or 2.

Süle not.

There was some hinting yesterday at a bigger 'surprise' signing. Assuming it wasn't complete bollocks, could be this. The offer was made last night apparently and was kept quiet all day, so who knows.

Absolutely inevitable that after finally getting a bid accepted (if true), the player will decide not to move. Too used to the disappointments of the last two weeks now .

"Newcastle confident on completing the signing..." has become fairly meaningless this month unfortunately. Won't get excited about anybody until they're at least doing a medical now...
