Wolves have bid £10m for Jurgen Locadia who plays for PSV. Anybody know anything about him. He is dutch, and at this particular time. Dutch football is terrible.

You man too busy talking about youtube videos of man wearing makeup. Keep this thread for transfer. Take the weirdo talk to the relationship thread.
Chelski have agreed a deal to sign David Zappacost from torino according to SSN who is an italian right back.
The bloke on SSN now has been talking and gesticulating wildy for maybe three minutes now and he's made up at least fifteen words in the process, as well as mangling several phrases. Sanchez spent last season 'throning it in', apparently.
Presumably he's killed a couple of youngsters to force a move through.
'There are only eleven positions in the starting eleven', says our man on SSN. Vital insight.
It came out of the TTH Marketing Budget.
Ah, I forgot that Jim White only came in for the last stretch these days.
Steve Evans has turned up with a terrific little centre parting come combover.
It's only one game in fairness, but I thought Barry looked excellent last weekend, and that kind of tidy, composed midfield performance is definitely one I probably wouldn't have picked up as much had I been watching on the telly. Plus I dunno how much it's worth, but most Everton fans on their message board were actually really disappointed to lose him.
I'm unsure on Rodriguez, but he's looked decent so far. Considering he'll mainly be competition for Rondon up top and for the wingers, he's definitely a useful signing.
Gibbs might be meh, but he's an actual left back, so almost certainly an upgrade on Brunt.
I'm very excited about Krychowiak. I think him and Barry as the CMs (DMs really) could be really excellent in our attritional 4-5-1. I can't believe he won't be an upgrade on Livermore.
You beautiful bastard SVN
I'll give you Rodriguez, but he'll be worth it if his knees can stop imploding.
You could probably paint most signings as punts if you label anyone from a foreign league as one. These have all been pretty cheap, apart from Burke, and even there it's not a bad price given the his potential. Gibbs is a prime age England international for the price of an egg sandwich.
The excitement on my old mans face as I told him who the Pole that I'm not typing on an iPhone is. He's a WBA forum lurker and immediately jumped for his iPad as I described his time at Sevilla.
He hasn't looked at WBA like that since Kieron Richardson was lifted aloft at the Hawthorns.
Although we all know how it worked out for Borja Valero. He couldn't believe it when I told him what he's up to these days.
Mbappe is done. Mental.
This Sanchez / Lemar thing seems to be off.
Mbappe on loan with the option to buy sounds like the dodgiest deal ever.
PSG are literally pissing in the face of UEFA and FFP.
Liverpool and Palace have agreed a £26m fee for Mama Sakho, and he's on the way for a medical.
I suspect van Dijk still isn't joining, but there's some extra money to play with at least.
£26m for Sakho has just replaced the Johnny Evans rumoured fees as peak current transfer window madness.
Will Sanchez be cup tied for the Champions League or can you play in both European competitions in one season? If he's not cup tied I would imagine he'll go to City in January when Arsenal have found someone willing to sign for them to "replace" him.
Adrien Silva incoming to replace Chelsea bound Drinkwater. Mahrez still whereabouts unknown.
That will depend on how well they do in the league until then, surely.
After all, they already have Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Kevin de Bruyne - all who are some sort of attacking players (with the latter two being more midfielders these days I suppose).
PSG should be back to pissing that league by thirty points. Neymar and Mbappe ought to get ninety goals between them, assuming Mbappe isn't just the greatest ever one season wonder.
Watford have signed 'Molla Wague', who absolutely cannot be a real person.
So have Liverpool not given Southampton any money yet?
Not unless there was still an active sell on clause on Chamberlain.
It's not for want of trying though.
Our activity over the summer makes shocking reading. We have no second string.
Having thought he was off Sanchez is surely going to be phoning it in to new levels until he's allowed to leave. Whatever happened to that Webster ruling or whatever it was where you could buy yourself out of your contract?
Brighton may have signed a forward, huzzah! Some dude called Babacar or some such from Fiorentina. Nope, me neither. £16m.
Someone on here (insert your name for credit) mentioned players have figured out its much better for them to earn 100% of £20m and leave on a free than earn 30% of £70m for the transfer fee. Something like that.
Good young freebie in FM, but a quick Wiki shows he's now 24 and has never done anything of note in a top flight league.
Sounds great.
My racial prejudice assumes he's going to be quite athletic, which is something I think they are looking for/need.
You have to wonder about City. If they genuinely wanted Sanchez, and were willing to offer £60m for him, why would they fuck about until now and have it go tits up on the basis of Arsenal being bilge?
It sounds more like just nobbling him to establish their interest for when he can talk to other clubs.
Babacar will turn out a bit like Okaka at Watford, I imagine. Okaka was an FM don too, right?
Anyway, I forgot to let everybody know about my incredible ITKledge from last week. During Brighton v Barnet you'll never guess which football legend turned up... Glenn Roeder! I thought he was a scout at West Ham, but Wikipedia says he's a "managerial assistant" Stevenage. Its difficult to say which of Barnet's stars he may have been looking at, but expect some action.
Sky have Given and Lescott on like it's Match of the Day. I'm out.
SSN has always been shit. Why do people watch it?
What's there to cover really? Their list of premier league transfers that keeps popping up at the side of the screen has like six players on it.
I will never get my head around why clubs leave so many important and expensive decisions to the very last minute. Do clubs not make plans for recruitment? Or is it good for 'the brand' to be chasing players on deadline day?
