Carlisle have signed Bastien Hery the former Rochdale midfielder. Hope he likes this town better... :teresa:

West Ham have had a 10.7m offer accepted for Marseille player Dimitri Payet. He had the most assists in the French league last year and has been capped multiple times for France.

 

Always find it strange when West Ham sign good players, always suspicious as to what's wrong with them :lol: We did need a creative midfielder though, so hopefully does well. End of Nolan now I'd have thought!

I can't say I have ever seen Firminho play, but the reports say he is closest player available to how Suarez plays. For that I am excited. If we sign a top striker and another midfielder, I'll be optimistic of us putting up a fight for Top 4 next season.

 

Sadly I this is the end of the road for Sterling. Brilliant player, but corrupted by his agent. He deserves all the stick he will rightly get next season.

Looks like you'll be getting Clyne too, very good signing that'd be.

 

I agree they wouldn't have paid 30m for this new guy if Sterling wasn't going. I've heard his relationship with Rodgers deteriorated over the whole England tiredness episode last Autumn.

 

Clyne is an absolute fantastic purchase.

Weren't people saying that about Lallana & Lovren too? Form can change when players move clubs but at least Clyne is an obvious improvement on the current RB I suppose.

When Tyrone Mings is moving for £8m, I think £12m for Clyne is a steal. I don't think he's amazing, but he fills a massive hole in our squad.

Everton have agreed a £4.3m deal for Gerald Deulofeu from Barcelona following his loan with Everton during the 2013/14 season.

 

Bournemouth look set to sign Tyrone Mings for £8m from Ipswich Town.

Maarten Stekelenburg joining Southampton is such a weird purchase. He's too good to be a back up goalkeeper to Fraser Foster unless he's on his way out?

 

It's only a loan deal I think so he will fill in for Foster until after Xmas!

Is that all he is??

 

Great signing for 12m thought his England caps would hav inflated his price to 20m the way things are. Quietly pleased with liverpools signings this summer 2 frees which improve us (esp with Milners experience) and a punt on a Brazilian who by the sounds of things plays in a Suarez style tactically and on the pitch, he chases down the ball. If he can score like last season he could be a decent buy, but it's always a risk with these things. (3rd top goal scorer in the bundsligue with 16 goals)

Today's gossip column:

 

Man Utd are close to signing Morgan Schneiderlin for £24m (Daily Star)

 

Real Madrid have rejected Man Utd's £35m offer for Sergio Ramos (Daily Mail)

 

Paulinho is close to joining Scolari's Chinese side Guangzhou for the £17m fee he cost the Premier League club (Evening Standard)

 

Watford have been offered Inter Milan's Davide Santon and Zdravko Kuzmanovic for £7m (Evening Standard)

 

I find the Ramos to Man Utd perplexing. I have no doubt in my mind that they are trying for them, but I can't work out whether it will come off, or whether Ramos is just angling for a new contract.

Leicester City are set to sign Japan striker Shinji Okazaki on a four-year deal with Mainz subject to a work permit.

I can't see Ramos moving to Man United to be honest with you. He'll probably sign a new deal in the upcoming weeks.

 

 

Paulinho is close to joining Scolari's Chinese side Guangzhou for the £17m fee he cost the Premier League club (Evening Standard)

 

If this happens (at anywhere above £10m tbf) it rivals Vermaelen for £15m as the greatest sale in the last few years.

Ramos is def angling for a new contract!

 

Glad Liverpool seem to be doing much better in the market this yr in comparison to manure - they are getting bogged down in the de Gea transfer!

Paulinho has moved to Guangzhou for a reported £9.9m.

Milner's a quality addition. Firmino's a lot of money for someone with a less than amazing strikerate. The other three won't be anywhere near your first team. I believe you've strengthened in (some) key areas but I'd be very cautious as a Liverpool about the amount of players you're bringing in off the back of one hefty payout. Again.

Man United have bid 28.9m for Sergio Ramos.

BREAKING: Sky Sources: Sergio Ramos tells Real Madrid he wants to leave & join Manchester United.

 

What an incredible purchase that would be.

He's not *that* good, and he's a walking card.

Is Ramos what Man United really need? Understand that you can't turn down a player of his quality if available but that's a significant investment for a player with little re-sale value.
