Now that people cant groan about signings, they are groaning about players linked? Brozovic and Soumare are linked. Just like Zakaria and Camavinga are linked. Not saying Lampard and Cech are above questioning but at least after the summer they've had in recruiting, wait and see how this plays out?

Is there a TC Fantasy Premier League code?

The statistics have Kepa bottom of the league and the improvement in terms of performance, results with a dependable keeper could be very big this season. The game against Palace for instance, we were coasting 2-0 up when Zaha's long range effort (Palace's first real shot) flew in. Completely changed the flow of the game. Conceding a goal especially in a tight game in this league pretty much takes away the chance to win There were only two comeback wins last year - vs Arsenal and vs Villa. I can see a lot of results turning in our favour with a 6 or 7/10 keeper.

Actually think if we wait another year, Rice will be coming in as a defensive midfielder (primarily) rather than a centreback target. There is Silva, Zouma, Christensen, Rudiger, Tomori at the club + Ampadu, Clarke-Salter, Sarr and Mbuyamba possibly waiting to get a chance.

Lot of reports of a loan to Sheffield United

Silva- Rudiger - Christensen - Zouma - Tomori - Ampadu Surely 2 will leave before the window is closed?

This is always the cycle. Its quite likely one of Giroud or Tammy will want to leave at the end of the season but at least it gives a great set of options to be used for this season. It will be tough replacing Giroud or Tammy with a similar level of player too so this season is a unique opportunity where everyone goes into it competing and thinking anything could happen.

and Ben Chilwell wondering what the fuck the rest of them are speaking about

How did Goal.com break the story lol?

Statement signing for 62m while rivals are chasing tails! Terrific business from the club this summer. Wisely stayed away from the Sancho saga and identified 2-3 players for the same price

Around 62m pounds initial fee if Ornstein is right. I guess all the negotiation was useful in the end?

Yep all sources now saying this

Reports say he had a good game playing centre-back for Wales against Finland.

Announce Aouar!

Agree. Not to mention the club boxed itself into the situation by not reading Courtois' desire to leave, contract ending

Seems like not only the club but news portals like Sky is also milking this for all its worth

Not sure about Falk's info. Romano didn't mention medical was done in London. He said agreement reached around 10 days ago. Announcement left.

I liked Eden Hazard's announcement. Just dropped it on Twitter

Its going to be Mendy. Seems like Lollichon's judgement he is the best budget option. Haven't watched him but he's bigger in size at least

Decent backup keeper for 71m

Kolarov and Young at left-back. Classic Conte. Market is shrinking for an Emerson sale.

Very clandestine if he was in London on Sunday and no one got wind of it then

Defend a cross

United had a good XI, made up a 6-point gap on Chelsea from February. Lack of depth was an issue but their first team was settled, not conceding stupid goals and the attack was creating chances. If United make an addition like Upamecano in defense then they suddenly become a serious force. Yes, he has a release clause for 2021 but I still think Leipzig will consider a higher offer this summer - maybe 60m +
