    Digne seems like a very good signing for Everton. Given Baines seems to be perenially "everton-decent" though I dunno. But I guess he needs to retire at some point.

    All of whom were players we needed. Our squad was chock full of dross. Money spent in the past doesn't change the fact that this summer we desparately needed full backs and a right winger and haven't bought them.

    Didn't you spend half a million quid a week on someone who can play right wing? Oh wait he has to play on the left because Mourinho has treated your 60 million left winger like shit so he wants to leave. You had a former Bundesliga player of the season who could play on the right wing but Mourinho treated him like shit so he left. Starting to notice a pattern? These are all problems Jose caused.

    Considering his output before he left and his performances since in comparison to what we got in return, nah.

    I just don't like Mourinho and his pathetic excuse making while he tries to have the richest team in the world play like Burnley against any team in the top 10. He's a busted flush. The Real Madrid job broke his brain.

    He's not wrong though. I don't know how he lost it so bad in so many aspects but as a manager he's gone.

    I agree the refusal to play Sanchez on the right is weird, but going into another season with Ashley Young and Valencia as our starting full-backs is ridiculous.

    We finished second against a team who spent even more than us, and had a better team before Mourinho even arrived. I'm not sure why people are so desperate to claim that he's lost the plot and his tenure has been a disaster so far. Objectively, he's doing fine. If we don't challenge this season, then serious questions need to be asked.

    People might be getting ahead of themselves, but do you genuinely think you'll challenge this year? There are more signs from last year suggesting you won't than you will.

    And he's clearly not been the same manager post that first season back at Chelsea, maybe even before then, but at least he was winning enough to paper over the cracks.

    If we don't sign anyone else then definitely not. Two very good signings, maybe.

    Wait since when has Sanchez ever played on the right? Can he do that? I've only ever seen him play on the left and centrally.

    Maybe for Barcelona he played on the right sometimes (though didn't Messi used to be there back then?)...? But it seems like he's always been a bit like Robben - he's great at doing sudden stops and cutting inside, and it keeps fooling people even though it's all he does.

    Didn't Jesse Lingard operator from the right. He was Man utd best player most of the time I watched their games.

    Yeah Sanchez hasn't really played there recently, but there was definitely an assumption when he was signed we'd at least try him on the right since we already have Martial and Rashford and the RW was a big problem for us.

    Lingard plays more centrally, he's not much of a winger.

    Thomas Lemar to Athletico completely done now.

    Another one of these "everybody wants this one!" players who one year later makes a pretty quiet transfer without many teams seeming interested.

    Not sure what the fee was but can't imagine it's the 90M or what it was Arsenal were prepared to pay only 6 months ago...

    Up front - probably together with another striker who maybe sits deeper, Heskey/Owen-style. Or just in a very counter-attacking and direct team where there's space for him to run at defenders.
    He has or maybe had loads of talent but I think some of it seems to have faded away in the past year, because when playing out wide he doesn't seem to get enough into central positions where I think he's best and has a chance to score.

    It's pretty common quick young strikers to start out wide before playing centrally later in their career, right? I think he'll come good.

    Sure, but I just feel he isn't suited to that position as well as maybe Martial is. He runs really well at defenders with the ball, but he doesn't seem to get in a position to beat his defender and cut inside to shoot a lot (which Martial and Sanchez does), from what I've seen he often ends up quite deep towards the end of the pitch and he doesn't cross with his left foot so it's not a great position for him.

    But I might be wrong of course.

    Been reported in France as between 60 and 65 million Euros, so still a fairly hefty fee. He'll probably move on for more than that in a few years time if he realises his potential.

    Alfie Mawson to Fulham for 15 mil. Great signing that. It's amazing that with the same ownership in place, this was the club of Felix Magath a couple of years ago.

    Cardiff, on the other hand

    Rondon swapping places with Gayle, apparently. I'm guessing we need a new centre-back seeing as Lejeune's out for the season.

    2 of the 3 promoted sides being good spells bad news for some of the league's timewasters. Not Roy Hodgson, though. Roy reigns supreme.

    I've never been this pathetic about a transfer window. Even been reading the ITKs. Thats how they rope ya in.

    This next week is make or break for Spurs, if they don't get anyone in the team will tank and Pochettino will leave at the end of the season, and then it'll be back into obscurity with an enormous stadium.

    Have teams not learned about buying United cast offs? Surely the most overvalued people in football. God knows how John O'Shea kept going so long.

    I do wonder if Sky and BT get to the point where Premier League rights is all they can afford. Although Amazon are picking the pieces up these days so the market's more competitive. I guess that's what's driving this.

    Middlesbrough has rejected a bid from Wolves from Adama Traore. He has a £18m release clause but Wolves do not value him that high. He is amazing to watch. He has unbeleive speed and dribbling. He does not score goals at all though in his two seasons he has played in the premier. He is also cursed. I dont want him anywhere near Wolves.

    2015 - Bought by Aston Villa
    2016 - Relegated with Aston Villa
    2016 - Bought by Middlesbrough
    2016 - Relegated with Middlesbrough

    There was a player who got relegated three times from the premier league every time he was purchased. Who was that?

    His highlight reel is scoring but his he wastes so many opportunities. He never scored a premier league goal during his time there. It's probably worth a gamble for some other team for £18m. Just not a team like Wolves though. Get him at Burnley.

    0 goals in 35+ premier league appearances. They can't go by goals when there is none there. However, he does not need goals. He can live off his speed and asssits.

    I still dont want him at Wolves, but it will probably be very likely he ends up there.

    Gonzalo Higuain is off to AC Milan on loan for 18-20m euros, with Milan having the option to buy Higuain for 36m next summer.

    I thought as Juventus signed Ronaldo before selling anyone. They would find it difficult to sell players as they all seem to be in awe of Ronaldo. Im reading too much into it.

    Traore is possibly the best dribbler on the planet. Absolutely electric.

    Can't do any of that playing football, though. If he didn't learn it Barca, he's not going to in the Midlands. Avoid.

    Guy on reddit who previously called Moutinho to Wolves before any journalists reported it is saying a deal for Smalling to go there is "90% done". He's definitely a player we should be looking to improve on and if he's going I assume we have someone coming in, so I'm happy with that.

    Yeah. He's a good defender, but whenever he gets the ball he very much still looks like a player who came from Maidstone.
