Special Juan

Ben Jacobs reporting we are close to agreeing personal terms with Simons, ahead of talks with Leipzig.

This Simons thing is moving really quickly now

25m bid from Newcastle for Wissa....that's quite an embarrassing amount TBH

In my head I am completely disregarding the GK situation now, do not think we will go again for a new keeper. I think they trust Sanchez massively and can see him being his usual self for the first part of the season and then us realizing he isn't good enough, and then panic buying in January.

Ben Jacobs reporting that we are still active on Hato and there has been fresh talks....no bid yet but one to watch

The Hato noises won't go away, i think we get him as well

Talks between us and Simons camp for Xavi will continue today...goal is to reach agreement, Xavi is open to CFC and talks with Leipzig, in the event of an agreement Chelsea can imagine playing with two number tens. We have also started club to club talks with Atletico for Veiga, Veiga has said yes to Atleti

Xavi can play across the front three, and we have to be very wary of running Palmer into the floor next season. We have CL and a shit ton of games coming our way after a very short/long summer, players will be tired as things go on and rotation will be key.

Club to club talks start today for Xavi

Yep, Plettenberg saying we have started talks for Simons

Xavi Simons deal expected to develop soon, he wants to leave. Price is under 70ME, Chelsea and Arsenal aware

Sterling's time is done at PL level now, and he won't go to the Championship, he will go to Saudi if anything

Sarr was never going to feature

Talks underway with Veiga to go to Atletico

Trafford another player Newcastle are going to miss out on...my god they are getting their pants pulled down

Means nothing at all in this day and age when agents get paid an absolute kings ransom, it's like players sales now with agents, to the highest bidder they go

Goodbye and thanks

Simons would be an outstanding addition to this team, get him

Madueke has said his goodbyes on social media

Jackson on the short list of Man United

Romano reporting we are 'attentive' to the Xavi Simons situation, alongside Arsenal

Still no Madueke announcement, but with his sale and Petrovic there is 70 odd million. One more attacker, but not Garnacho

Mbeumo to United is done

Im worried about Leeds than Man United

Final bid of take it or leave it from United for Mbeumo
