That is hilarious.

 

I really hope we get Gervinho.

 

 

Didn't know we were in for him, would be a great signing. After the performance last night, we need some better midfielders/attackers to replace the likes of Nolan, Jarvis, Maiga, Amalfitano & Noble.

A season of bench-warming for Delph. Probably another Jack Rodwell/Scott Sinclair situation there for him at Man City.

 

In another news Yaya Sanogo was joined Ajax on season-long loan from Arsenal.

 

 

I wonder what changed Delph's mind? To be fair I think he has more chance of playing than Rodwell, as he's a little different to the other midfielders' City have. He will get a lot of game time, but not convinced he's up the required quality they need. Really does look like they've signed him because he's English. I applauded him for turning down the move, but he looks like a bit of a pray for going back on his word ha.

I've always been impressed with Sterling when I've seen him live. He was by far Liverpool's best player during their defeat at Upton Park last season and took us apart at Anfield. Some of his dribbling and quick feet remind me of a young Jermaine Defoe.

 

This is a good move for him. Sure, he won't play EVERY week, but I think he'll get in the Man City first team. He's nine years younger than Silva so maybe he's being lined up as the long-term replacement for him.

 

On another note, shame Begovic has gone to Chelsea. Stoke have now lost him and N'Zonzi this summer when they seemed on the verge of pushing on.

 

Sterling is t good enough to lace Silvas boots IMO.

Praying that West Ham get Inverness in Europa League so I can travel to Inverness for the match.

Man City have completed the signing of Fulham's teenager Patrick Roberts. He becomes Man City's 3rd English signing of the season.

 

 

Chelsea looking to increase their bid for Everton's John Stones to £26m today according to the Daily Mail. Everton defiant that Stones will not be going.

I think Stones would be mad to go this season personally. He's in with a great shot at being a first choice centre back at the Euros. I can see why he might be tempted, but he's better sticking with Everton this season.

Tottenham midfielder Benjamin Stambouli has joined PSG on a five-year deal and for a £6m fee. He made 14 appearances for Tottenham he joined with them last September from Montpellier.

Newcastle United have signed Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic for £13m- subject to a work permit. He becomes Newcastle's second signing following the £14.5m arrival of Georginio Wijnaldum.

Both great signings for Newcastle. Bet Mike Ashley is licking his lips at the profit he might make in a few years time on those two.

West Ham have signed midfielder Manuel Lanzini on a season-long loan from UAE club Al Jazira

 

Also Watford have made two signings today in Miguel Britos who is best known for this:

 

 

And finally Watford also signed Jose Jurado.

 

 

EDIT:

 

Liverpool has officially completed the £32.5m signing for Christian Benteke from Aston Villa.

Who do people think this 'mystery' signing is that van Gaal has lined up? :lol: Wonder if they still wanna pay 22m for Pedro, seems overpriced to me.

It's obviously Muller. I think he is open to a move, and I think Guardiola would let him go. But the Bayern board and fans would go balistic, which makes me think it won't happen. I think he's an excellent player, but he's not an out and out striker like they need. They waste so much time chasing these obscene targets when they would be better going for someone less realistic.

 

They need a striker and a CB. Still think it's odd they're playing chicken with Real Madrid over De Gea.

They need a versatile forward who can stand in for Rooney or play with him and Depay in a front 3. So that means Pedro, Cavani or Muller.

Pedro would be a great addition. Funny how he was the best thing since sliced bread when Chelsea were linked with him a couple of weeks ago, and now..

I think Pedro would be a good addition, he's quality. Just again I'm not sure he's what Man Utd need. I think they would be best going for an out and out striker rather than a false #9 type.

There's such an odd imbalance within the squad I agree. Still not convinced with how far Louis' scouting network reaches either. It all seems to be primarily Dutch or lifted straight from Ballon d'Or/World POTY lists.

Bayern Munich have agreed a deal with Juventus to sign Vidal and have said Thomas Muller will not be sold this summer.

Think it's already been stated in this thread but the backlash if Muller/Schwein both left wouldn't be worth risking. They got away with the initial selling as he barely even got a look in to the starting xi last year. Muller was fantastic.
