Medical is tommorow or Tuesday, it will be a loan with 5m euros option to buy.

Arsenal will be very good this season i have no doubt. Not just becuase of how they look today, their squad is brilliant and the attack with Alexis+Ozil will look great. My guess is 2nd/3rd spot for them.

I wont complain if we'll start the season with this squad, i see big improvement and a much better first XI and i cant ask for more (not my style anyway), but it seems that when it comes to depth 1 player in almost each area is nessecsery/almost nessecsary. People talk a lot about depth and a lot of quality in each area of the squad, i personnaly not, but when i look at the squad i dont know if 'those people' should be very calm. CB- We have Zouma and Ivanovic who also play as the 2nd/1st RB, its fine if we count on Zouma, but we could add another player there. CM- After the starters Matic and Cesc, i only trust on Ramires. Mikel is Mikel, and MVG i dont know what to expect from him, not proven in any way. ST- Thats the obvious one, Drogba and Torres are poor alternatives. I personnaly think we should see a striker coming in, Bony or Remy for me, and a CM would make me happy as well (Rabiot? if we're really in for him). Only a striker is good too. Generaly, my point is that our squad isnt that impressive when you look deeper, and there are a few teams in europe with better alternatives on the bench. Though when it comes to quality and balance in the first XI we're imo one of the 4-5 top teams in europe, and imo thats the most important thing (plus 3-4 very good players from the bench, which we have- Ivanovic, Schurrle/Willian, Ramires, Cech, DD maybe).

Di Marzio - Marin is close to Fiorentina

If thats correct, he had 16 and 10 Assists in his best seasons in Shaktar, the two seasons people started to know his name. Thats good numbers, definitely not "poor" stats. in 12/13 he made the move to Anzi.

I have to ask again, people keep saying Willian has poor Stats over his career, but 'stats' also means Assists, anyone know how many Assists he gave every season in Shaktar? Generaly, you dont have to score alot of goals to be a player who contribute alot statistics wise, you can also give alot of assists (Like Ozil for example, never scored more than 10 in Real but everybody knows he's a "Stars Player" with 15+ Assists per season). So until someone will show he has low nubmer of Assists in Shaktar, i wont understand this "Fact" his statistics are poor for his entire career. * Not every AM needs to be a scorer, so I dont get where this is come from. Ask Ozil, David Silva, Iniesta, Kross, Lavezzi, Turan, Koke... need more?

I actually never seen his assists statistics in Shaktar. I see he scored 7-8 goals in every season there, but nothing about assists.

Cavani's agent: "There has been much interest during the last 6 months. I can confirm Cavani heard proposals from Liverpool and Arsenal". "Cavani said he would love to play in England, but has not yet made a final decision."

PSG won't sign Di Maria says the owner, so I guess it means Cavani's surely stays.

According to Telegraph Atletico are going to try getting him.

Cavani won't come when Mourinho already got the striker he wants, very naive to think it could happen. Off course it's always great to have great players but we're not in the need for another high profile striker. Bony could be a very good option imo, through it seems we'll stay with Torres.

"Three strikers is fundamental in the squad and we have three - Nando, Didier and Diego." - Jose Great

I heard he hates Bayern...and i know German league fans dont think he'll ever go there. And its not like they have a place for another AM, while i cant believe Ribery will leave next summer to open the door for his replacement. He's still a top player and i dont think they'll have Ribery, Robben, Muller, Gotze and Rues all together when they might even play 4-3-3 (two AMs).

Di Marzio said they offered 25+5 (euros) but Lukaku wants CL football.

Di Marzio: Atletico Madrid, Everton, Wolfsburg and Juventus target Lukaku.

Any reason we're not selling him to Liverpool for the 8m pounds they offered weeks ago? thats hugh money for him and he wont really improve them.

For a second i thought something really happend with Reus... but its just a shirt sales discussion. Hate when this happens...

DI maria to United? where's that came from? they only talk about PSG so far. tbh i prefer Hazard-Oscar-Willian-Costa to City's front 4. Arsenal got a great attack too, imo they're second best to us. City's attacking quality comes alot from Yaya and the full backs, and except Silva i dont think any of their AM is that good. You can say the same about us and Hazard last season, but i think Willian/Oscar/Schurrle have a lot more potential than Navas/Milner/Nasri.

Great. But Miranda? another ATM player? kind a boring already... i dont like it.

I think a CB like Benatia could be a very good addition, not at all a "must" but thats imo the area we might need more than what we have. CF- Depends on Lukaku, if he stays the 3rd could be Drogba or Torres. If the plan is Costa, Torres, Drogba i think thats a mistake, If Lukaku is sold i hope we'll buy someone to be the 2nd choice. CM- if Mikel leaves OR both MVG and Romeu loaned out, Tiago is an option for more depth.

Wolfsburg have now targeted Romelu Lukaku, after a move to hijack the Morata deal collapsed. (@DiMarzio) Not the first time Wolfsburg are said to be in for him. Both Juventus and Wolfsburg made Lukaku only a 2nd choice after Morata. Im not the biggest fan of Lukaku, but i think Morata is even more overrated, alot more actually.. so it surprise me to see he was so wanted. I dont think we can sell him for more than 25m euros, there's no market for bigger offers.

No reason to post articles from Daily Star. They are without a doubt the worst english source regarding transfers.

Which paper talked about a 18m fee?

Jose: "I have to say my club did a fantastic job, and not just because of what we bought, but because we did it in almost record time. The transfer market closes 31 August and we close our market on July 19. We finished the market today"
