Mane? Our record on 30 million plus transfers is not great at the minute we are 0 from 2. I suppose at least he fits the system unlike Benteke.

Didn't think we'd do any business prior to the Euros ending. Progress. And, I'll say it now so it can embarrass me later: Sissoko's getting no takers.
Someone will want him, but it will end up being West Brom rather than the Arsenal move he's pining for. He might as well go home.
Has Coloccini fucked off yet?
Gayle to Newcastle almost done. Sounds a pretty good deal to me.
https://www.theguardian.com/football...-close-signingNewcastle have agreed to pay £8.5m up front with another £1m due if Gayle scores 20 goals and another £1m should they achieve promotion. A portion of that fee will be payable to Peterborough due to the existence of a sell-on clause.
Somebody should get Puncheon if he's still going to be out of favour. I'd like him at Brighton.
Apparently that signing is bad news for some guy called Emmanuel Riviere.
Never heard of him.
Really hope Newcastle smash the championship and win it by a record points total.

Just about the least surprising confirmation going, but there it is.
In much more exciting news we've announced our next batch of under 18 scholars. I think Dujon Sterling takes some beating as a name, but there's also Martell Taylor-Crossdale (of Dorne, presumably), Tariq Uwakwe and the obligatory George McEachran.
Solving English football's ills on our own.
Strong rumours Coloccini is gone.
Haven't felt this positive about the club for ages.
It's nice having a manager who knows what he's doing isn't it?
Ibrahimovic has somehow been a bigger pest with this Man Utd move than Hazard was when he went to Chelsea, and that wanker called a press conference to let everyone know when the press conference at which he'd announce his decision would be.
Hopefully the chinless prick flops hopelessly and retires a broken man.
Mourinho and Ibrahimovic as part of the same team.
Probably not actually as bad as Ferguson and Keane but I grew up with them there.
We're not buying Zlatan, it's more an investment to secure the title seeing as he always wins one.
Well really it's nice having a manager that's allowed to bring in his own players and not have to fit a profit making policy.
That said, it was Pardew who identified Obertan as a key signing, he then wanted Adebayor and Bendtner, so err yeah, it is nice having a manager who knows what he's doing.
Cabella away for £7m. I'd like to break even on some of these Frenchmen but that might require a miracle.
Southampton have signed Kieran Freeman from ourselves. He was training with Man Utd for a year or two so it's a surprise.
Pogba? https://www.theguardian.com/football...chester-united
Zlatan
Martial, Micky, Mata
Pogba, Schneiderlin
Shaw, Bailly, Smalling, Darmian
De Gea
That midfield and attack would be mighty. Mou is presumably gonna sign at least one more defender.
'Micky' on the right, Mata in the bin, and Rooney wrecking everything.
Darmian is likely off, no?
"Micky" will have to do. Dumping Mata twice would be too cruel, surely? I suppose Rooney will be squeezed in somewhere, how silly.
He'll save chucking Rooney for next summer as a STATEMENT if/when they don't win anything next season.
'Mou'.
Imagine it in a James Richardson voice.
If you don't like James then there's no dealing with you.
Pokerface alias confirmed.
Mou, ronnie and benz
Man City have signed Nolito, which means basically nothing to me having never seen him play.
Rooney should be a top, top Mourinho player. If he doesn't thrive under him, he really is finished.
Hahaha Palace have just signed Townsend.
What's so funny about that? Good player for a club at that level.
Pardew will probably play him at left back or something though.
Well he'd don it in the championship wouldn't he.
A lot of people seem to be forgetting that Samuel Ameobi has returned from his loan where they found out he can only play for about an hour at a time because of his asthma.
We're fine.
Just googled Townsend and discovered he's only 24. Fucking hell.
Watford have rejected a £37m offer for ighalo. These china man are playing no games with this money laundering strategy.

That's Sven's team. I can only imagine the sort of dreamy sums he is on. What a man.
I wouldn't mind bringing Chicharito in, I think he could do well in Italy.
Also, we've apparently agreed a loan for Benatia, with the move becoming permanent after a year for €18M.
The Bayern/Juventus Pact of Steel provides again.
He'd be even better in Zambia.
Shteve Mandanda to Palace.
He was convinced after Cabaye told him there's a chippy next to Selhurst.
I've just been looking through a list of transfers to see what I'd missed. Surprises I had:
Granit Xhaka cost £34 million? The guy's Swiss ffs.
Wanyama to Spurs? lol
Redmond to Southampton for the same fee as the above? lol
Newcastle have spent £22 million on English strikers today? fucking lol
Also, our 'First Team Squad' as presented by wikipedia currently numbers 53 players, not including the 9 out on loan.
We've signed Kyle Bartley on a season long loan. Monk likes him but he's hardly featured for Swansea. Still, anyone is better than Bellusci.
I reckon he'll be ace.
The chonks will love that shit.
Hopefully he'll be monumentally shit.
Has he ever played well in England/against an English team before?
I suppose against England.
