I'm still waiting for a team to go full Ultimate Team and do a fake "walk-out" bit with an updated FUT card showing the new club.
Have fireworks and all them things in the ground, drop the players' flag from the rafters, the entire bit just played out in real life.
For those who don't play FIFA:
£40m bid for Sigurdsson rejected wtf
TBF, they'll get relegated without him and that's 120 million quid.
When you're bidding 30 for Troy Deeney, anything is possible.
Dear God.
Should have just used Stormzy
Looks like somebody already has

Is that the same pool that they've been hanging out at all day? For fuck sake.
I'm a twit
They didn't have Eric Bailly in 2014.
TBF he was wrong in 2014
Where's Mahrez gone?
Nowhere yet, but probably Arsenal if rumour gibberish is to be believed
£65m wouldn't even get you Jonathon Spector's left nut these days
Well it probably ain't getting Gylfi Sigurdsson anyway.
Iheanacho incoming though which is good. More excited about what weird and wacky way we'll announce it tbh.
Keep it quiet and parachute him into the centre circle during the first home friendly.
Have him dress as the mascot then have a big reveal when you sub him on.
Dress him up as a steward and see how long it takes before the good people of Leicester recognise him at a game. My money is on never.
Newcastle are after a player called Alphonse Areola which sounds like something we would have made up and sent into TalkSport.
Sounds a right tit.
Keep us abreast of the situation
I'll stop there, I don't want to milk it.
Boob puns are great, but I just suck at them.
Doubt he'll be a Alan Shearer type signing. More like a Titi Camara.
He's pretty good if mammary serves.
He reminds me a little too much of one of the Trump kids there.

James joins bayern on loan
Squad player for a huge club --> squad player for another huge club. Hmm. One of the few that can afford his wages, I guess.
"He made 111 appearances for Real, scoring 36 goals and producing 41 assists."
I didn't realise he'd played that much. Impressive stats.
He's been there three seasons though and they must play about 70 games per season.
I see Slimani getting linked around to West Brom and Newcastle, I thought he was quite good last year?
I've just been looking through the list of summer transfers to see what I've missed (almost all of them, as it turns out) and the one that sticks out asis Barcelona buying back Gerard Deulofeu. Is this in preparation for the newly independent Catalan league demanding 8 home grown players?
They have no depth after neglecting their B team and don't have the option of changing a game using the bench or playing two different sides in two different competitions like Real.
Looking back on Barcelona's transfers over the last 3 years is quite startling. They've had a nightmare.

3 years? It's been awful since Rijkard.
That loan sounds a bit crap from Madrid's perspective. If he is great for Bayern than they will lose him for less than he is worth, and if he is crap then they will also end up with him back at the club with no suitors and probably not long left on his contract. They should have just taken forty million off somebody and written it off.
These multi-year long loans are just creative accountancy (of some sort) aren't they? They are actually transfers. He's not going to be going back, like Cuadrado wasn't going anywhere once that absurd 4 year loan or whatever it was would have ended. I'm sure the Delofeu thing is a mix of him being available fairly cheaply (by the standards of the today's market) and them thinking they'll be able to sell him for more in the near future (a Morata deal). In short, everything's fucked.
Dani 'Daniel' Alves going to PSG is a bit lol. Daniel Levy must be rubbing his hands together in a very stereotypical way.
I see Eric Dier is agitating. Surely United will have to break the world transfer record by a considerable margin in order to wrest him away from Levy.
They've needed a new John O'Shea for a while now.
Eric Dier is massively over-rated. He's a pretty good CB but offers absolutely nothing in midfield apart from an ability to not get booked for professional fouls.
Agreed. He's a decent player, and nothing more.
It is the nature of a DM I guess, being decent at everything without being fantastic. Don't rate him particularly.
