At least it's finally done.

Happy we signed a WB eventually and he's Italian to boot.

Can't believe the Barkley rumour at all. I expect Chelsea pulled out of the deal instead at the worst.

Barkley is meant to be back in November. I'm not too fussed about either, as one is still potentially decent, whilst the other didn't want to fill the role waiting for him here.

Offered Matic & a decent amount of cash of they were really interested in him. We all know the board tried to haggle from the get go that resulted in the deal not happening. Not going to get be of the best LB's for peanuts (putting our supposed 70m bid aside).

I think the board is Conte's problem. It clear as day he didn't sanction all the outgoings and isn't getting the targets he wanted. Sandro being at the top of the list.

Llorente had originally slipped my mind, but there's now talk Tottenham want him. I can't think of any notable RWB's that could join us now with Aurier being the last possible until he joined Spurs (should reports be believed). Edit - We're linked with Sagna. Desperate times indeed

I expect Drinkwater, another HG player & a surprise. Not sure if that's good business to anyone here, though.

It would be but I doubt it will happen. Players have had too much power for a while. An employer can play you where they wish. Guess he'll do well fighting for top 4 at another team.

And they'll have Keita too. Does he really think he will have any chance of playing CM? [emoji1]

Our usual panic buy. [emoji52]

We'll only be getting on CF & I expect it to be Llorente with Bony rejoining Swansea. Would be wonderful if Belotti were to come, though. I think the board will get one big signing over the line before Thursday night.

A way to keep Hazard happy. Lol

Shocked to hear Sanches could end up at Swansea on loan of all places. Guess he would be guaranteed game time prior to the WC.

I thought it was a given he'd be gone after the China incident on loan at the very least. Go from Sandro to Kenedy as our other option.

Shocked he's been loaned out. How on earth is Kenedy still here?

Can only hope Belotti or Aubameyang might make the move.

Got to laugh at the officials in this country.

We know who to thank. Lol

That's what I was saying. We sell them without giving them a change to deliver here.

We've been doing that for several years. It's just unfortunate that they aren't given a chance here and go on to big money moves (De Bruyne, Lukuka, Salah, etc) Shocked to see some of the likes we have decided to keep around. Omeruo is probably unknown by a few around here.

I knew the stats, just wondering if he did. I personally see him signing for Barca being a big deal aside from the price. Has everything and the fact he's ambidextrous is a rare thing to say the least.

Emery isn't up to the task for starters.

We'll end up with him & Llorente, no doubt.

How many assists? Barca overpaid but that's today's market.
