£7m for a young English forward is probably the going rate in today's market. Especially when the deal is between two premier league clubs

I would say Wickham is probably worth £2.5m to be honest.

 

That might be true if the English valuations weren't ridiculously inflated. £7m with add-ons sounds about right given that, when he can be arsed to, he does show great talent like when Sunderland looked doomed in 13-14 and he turned on the style when he thought he was in the shop window. That and he also had four years left on his contract.

 

Sunderland are linked with Alexandre Pato who would be an excellent signing. If they can ditch Fletcher and Graham and bring in another Wickham-ish youngster or give Duncan Watmore a chance then I think they'll be looking good next year.

Sergio Molina has become Stoke's 9th summer signing. He has been signed from Real Madrid.

 

Bournemouth have signed Lee Tomlin on a three-year deal from Middlesbrough.

 

It seems as if Edin Dzeko will be going to AS Roma for £14m from Man City.

Wow, guess their putting their utmost faith in Bony delivering then! Wonder how it'll work out if they don't buy a new striker (United-like)

Yann M'Vila has joined Sunderland on a season-long loan from Russian club Rubin Kazan. He becomes Sunderland's fifth summer signing.

Also the Di Maria transfer from PSG to Man United has been confirmed.

At least Di Maria's hoard of shit denim will not be as prevalent on my twitter feed.

According to Sky Sports News. Joey Barton is having a medical at West Ham.

 

What people make of this possible signing?

He's an upgrade on Nolan, assuming we actually get rid of Nolan now.

I guess so, but I'm not sure I'd want him starting every game!

 

Bit of a strange signing for me, make more sense if we were still in Europe. Hope this doesn't mean we wouldn't be signing Song either.

West Brom broke their transfer record yesterday with the £12m signing of Salomon Rondon from Zenit St Petersberg.

 

 

The long-running saga of Shaqiri from Inter Milan to Stoke City looks like it will be completed today possibly.

 

 

EDIT: Confirmed for a club-record fee of £12m.

 

 

Southampton have signed midfielder Oriol Romeu for £5 million from Chelsea.

 

AS Roma have signed Edin Dzeko on a season-long loan from Manchester City with a option to pay a further £7.9m if they want to make the deal permanent along with the initial fee of £2.9m they have paid Man City.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was Edin Dzeko a fantastic shit player or an awful amazing player? I think he'd be LOCKED IN to receive EITHER AWARD for the Premier League in Review Awards.

Dzeko doesn't look like a typical footballer, looking quite awkward so he gets a lot of stick of people! Same with Crouch etc. Always seemed a back-up player as well.

 

He always seemed to be the back-up player for Man City and playing against the lesser opposition in cup matches e.g. League Cup/ FA Cup.

 

 

 

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign defender Baba Rahman from Augsburg for an undisclosed fee.

 

 

Real Madrid have confirmed that Sergio Ramos will sign a new five-year contract with them ending any hope that Man United had of signing him.

Guess De Gea's staying at United then for one last year!

The whole Ramos/De Gea saga has been a complete and utter farce.

 

Pleasingly this means that De Gea will not be going anywhere this year! At this point I think United would rather let De Gea walk as a free agent (We gain more in £££ terms from him staying than he's worth in transfer fees) than do any deal with Real Madrid.

Thankfully we can now move on to the COMPLETE NON-STORY of where Otamendi ends up.
