Thendo

I just took a print screen of the team and used imgur to get a link to be able to post it here, there might be an easier way to do it tho (Could't find a way to upload an image localy from my computer ). I think the cheapest player you can get costs £4.5m, I try to pick a good/expensive XI and then fill the bench/left over roles with those £4.5m players.

My team so far. Will probably change around abit before the season starts, not too sure if I should keep RvP and go for Rooney/Aguero/Sturridge instead though...

Diego Costa

Up north, Luleå to be precise. So I dont follow allsvenskan very much but Im rooting for Malmö to get into the CL, and what a game last night!

Malmö has the chance to become the first swedish team in the champions league since like forever, hope they get a decent draw.

I would assume when he say Chelsea didnt renew his contract he meant a new 1 year contract with the same wage etc. My guess is that cfc offered him a contract with reduced wage which he declined.

But why would they sell Cavani if they then have to go fetch a new wc striker in a year or two when Zlatan retires? Doesnt make sense to me.

Dp.

To me Lamps will always be remembered as the legend he has been for us, all the memorable moments he has given us. But this city loan deal leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth, seeing how he will join them, wear their jersey and contribute to them fighting us for the title...

Good move for him!

Wow didnt expect him to be going for as much as £28m, shame he couldn't make it here but at the same time his way of openly talking like he has been was always going to make it difficult for him. Now hopefully we can find a decent replacement or throw Bamfordinho out in the deepwater.

Great business by the club! All the serious holes in our squad fixed already, and with the money left over in Romans treasure chest maybe we can get one or two quality signings aswell. Happy days!

Lol at how Liverpool keep signing a ton of decent/promising young attacking players to make up for one brilliant striker, instead of fixing their biggest glaring issue which is their defence. I think he's a very promising player and might become a quality player in 2-3 years time, but I doubt he will be a revelation for Liverpool next season.

Arsenal or Liverpool seems to be the teams most in need of a top striker, doubt either have the money or attraction to lure him though. Wouldn't say no to a team with Costa and Cavani tho.

What a year this has been for him! So happy for him!

Only Brazilian who actually played fairly well today. Was great to see him setting up others and him creating attacks on his own, being the creative link in Brazil. Here's to him keeping this form for the PL season!

Might just be there on holiday tho, but one can hope

Probably nothing, but there's quite a few pictures on twitter of him apparently being in London.

Seems like he will stay with us this season then, good news!

Great to see him stay in the top tier of football, and not go to retirement in the MLS. He's got a year or two at top level left for sure.

Seems like a reasonable move for him.

Pogba or Vidal would be ideal, but I think we'll end up with Tiago which is fine imo as he's a stopgap and we have both MvG and Chalobah ready to step up after him.

Spains NT was a flop itself so I think it's hard to judge anyone only from their WC performance. Torres was brilliant at Liverpool as well after leaving Atletico so that doesnt say much either, but I can understand your pessimism after all the recent years of Torres frustration .

Finally! Hopefully he can be the striker we've been needing.
