    Just put Guendouzi through that face ageing app and you'll get the gist.

    Real also apparently in talks with PSG about Neymar. I have no idea how they can go about that without breaking about every FFP rule there is.
    Probably some sideways loan move with the obligation to buy

    Good for Arsenal. They've played cheap for so long the media was happy to take this bait and run wild with it. As such, likely improved their negotiating position at least SOMEWHAT in these circumstances.

    Meanwhile, we're still drowning because this douchebag Woodward was out here talkin about wAtCh ThIs SpAcE while the only good news coming out of the club regards new shoelace sponsorships or whatever the fuck.

    I'm still stunned that Levy is stumping up whatever money it is that Woodward wouldn't. Assuming it's as simple as that of course, and not just a case of Dybala fancying United less.

    I dont understand why Arsenal would want David Luiz. Doesn't seem like an upgrade on anything we have already. Well except Mustafi, but I was sort of hoping he was already behind Holding, Sokratis & Chambers...

    Dennis Praet joining his big mate Tielemans for the rather quaint looking £18m. Really nice looking midfield we have right now, would have liked another wide player ideally but oh well.

    Dybala to Tottenham is actually happening.

    I would honestly resign if I was OGS after this transfer window. He hasn't got a chance with our midfield. If Pogba gets a long term injury we will be struggling for top 8, never mind top 4.

    Ole clearly wants Martial and Rashford to be first choice strikers. Mandzukic is quality, but aging and would be happy to sit on the bench. It would be a good signing given those circumstances. We won't make it.

    I suspect you wouldn't.

    If he resigns he's never getting a job at a club of United's stature ever again. He's got significantly more to gain than to lose by hanging about, even if you take the raw monies out of the equation.

    I'll just be interested to see whether the initial lift when he came on or the following slump are closer to the norm. It sounds like he's been putting them through the wringer to get them fit so that'll be one less excuse if and when it all goes pear-shaped.

    The Sessegnon deal to Spurs is supposedly £25m (rising to £30m) and Josh Onomah. If that’s the case, then I think we’ve done really well to get that for a player in the last year of his contract.

    Now I’m not too fussed on Onomah, but after Saturday’s shambolic performance, it’s clear we do need depth and options in the middle of the park. Hopefully the money can go towards one of the defensive transfer targets we’ve been linked with.

    All in all, will be tough to see Sessegnon go after rapidly flying through our youth ranks but hopefully he’ll progress and become genuinely world class in the future.

    It's a reasonable swap for Koscielny - reportedly a similar fee and wages for a guy one year younger and who has won just about every competition between France and England. The long term option is Saliba, and the club clearly identified Upacemano as the preferred long term bet alongside him along with Holding. Upacemano's deal is up in 2 years and he looks unlikely to sign again so I'd not be surprised if we're back in for him in Jan or next summer. Either way, it's a short term gap being filled.

    My concern is he's very similar to Sokratis. I like the idea of Holding-Luiz as I do Holding-Sokratis, but Sokratis-Luiz feels a bit errr, aggressive... Both like to charge out and win the ball early, both are not adverse to charging up field with the ball. Overall though, Luiz might be the better player for us with his range of passing (another reason I think we were in for Upamecano).

    Sokratis? Sokratis is a brute who can sort of defend a bit but cannot touch the ball at all. David Luiz is a brazilian diva who always wanted to be an attacking midfielder but had to settle for defence. His only real skill is he's got a decent touch and a pass for a defender.

    I find they are more opposites than anything else?

    Also, Arsenal doesn't need "a reasonable swap for Koscielny", they need a "massive overhaul of their entire defence by signing some quality defenders".

    At the end of the day I don't mind Koscielny leaving as he was being a massive cunt about it, and because he's basically been fucked since his achilles injury and was never going to completely recover. But what they need is to sign someone who is a bit class in defence.

    The biggest disappointment of the United window is not shifting enough of the rubbish. What have they got seven 'senior' centre-backs?

    They could use another midfielder, but I'm not overly arsed about another forward not coming in as long as they fill the gap with kids (money for Jadon Sancho next year). If I have to watch Juan Mata huffing and puffing on the wing then yes someone wants shooting.

    Yeah, a lot of people are going on about how we need to replace Lukaku, but I don't think we do. The midfield is a much bigger concern, as we haven't filled the gaps that Herrera and Fellaini left. I have no idea how we're going to cope this season without another midfielder.

    Rojo will go today, hopefully. Would be nice if FEC joined him.

    I'm also fine with us not signing another forward, but no midfielder is a disgrace. Our net spend this year is like £35m...

    With regards to outgoings, the window for the rest of Europe is still open so I imagine some of the dross like Darmian might still be shipped out.

    Private jet just went Turin-Biggin Hill and then another took off a few minutes later to Manchester. Maybe Mandzukic.

    EDIT: False alarm, not landing in Manchester.

    I think McTominay is actually really good. I guess if Fred starts looking like someone worth more than 20p this season it might not end up a total disaster.

    Why wouldn't you just give Koscielny the contract he wanted? He may have been past his peak, but so is Luiz, with added lol factor, at least Koscielny had standing within the club.

    And if the bolded bit meant anything, you could have had Gary Cahill for nowt.

    Also, Aaron Mooy to Brighton is a deal I can fully get on board with if it's happening, would be a quality signing. I'm suddenly getting that dangerous feeling that it might not all go to shit this season.

    Luiz placed in the Chelsea team wasn't certified, which means if he is moving to Arsenal. He walks straight into the team.

    Apparently Utd have pipped them with a better offer.

    That said, Arsenal are signing Luiz so no matter what happens you've won by default.

    Haven’t heard anything about United being in for him, seems it has to do with image rights. Solution could be a loan w/ obligation similar to Lo Celso

    The main problem with Dybala, apparently, is that his image rights are owned by a Maltese company who bought the rights 10 years ago.
