Scamacca to West Ham. Smart move imo.

Could you please acknowledge the fact I reported on that deal a few days ago, thanks.
‘research on that please!!1’
Manor Solomon to Fulham has FINALLY been confirmed, about 3 months after it had initially been reported we'd signed him. Now we need some defensive signings, I really don't want to see Tim Ream starting in the Prem again. Liverpool will put 10 past us on opening day if he's creaking about in our backline.
Pay Leno money pls.
Seems like we're finally making progress at £8m for Leno. Still wouldn't fix the centre-back issue though...
Mbabu also close to joining for £6.5m according to various journos, could be announced any day now.
I wouldn't mind him going out and getting a full season under his belt, but we haven't really been directly linked with a striker. It'll be hard to find someone who is pretty much guaranteed to be back-up to Mitrovic, I guess. Muniz is raw but definitely has ability, but probably not what we need for a Prem survival attempt.
Apparently the loan is agreed in principle but it’s a case of waiting to see if you can get someone in.
Bailly to Roma seems to be gaining traction.
Seems an odd one given it was Mourinho who played McTominay at centre back instead of Bailly or Lindelof to protest the board not buying him Maguire.
Pogba injured already
Ronaldo back in Manchester for CRUNCH TALKS. It must be embarrassing for him to have said be wants to leave, whored himself round Europe and found nobody wants him.
For some reason he was linked with Athetico, which seems unfathomable. I guess it's just a thing to try and get Real to sign him again because I can't understand why he would a) go b) be wanted there
Apparently Simeone is obsessed with him, but yeah I also think it was an attempt to bait Real.
Is anyone ever going to buy Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio?
Always looked absolute class on the [admittedly few] occasions I've seen him play and has perennially been linked with a move away from them. I know the price has always seemed prohibitive, but prices are what they are these days. United or Arsenal should take the plunge.
Why doesn't Ronaldo just go play for one of the big money retirement clubs like in the US, for example.
Because he wants more CL goals.
Because he wants more CLs.
If he wanted that he'd go to Celtic.
Madrid winning it last season really pissed on his chips. Tied with Benzema, Modric & Carvajal for most titles.
He'd have a better chance of scoring goals in the CL for obvious reasons though.
Do goals in the qualifying rounds count for his purposes? Maybe he should consider THE Glasgow Rangers Football Club if they do.
Otherwise Bayern seems to be the current easy life option.
I'm one of Dybala's biggest fans, pure class and artistry but what the fuck have they put in the grappa over in Rome?
I'm also hearing he's broken the rapist's Serie A shirt sales record. God bless the fans' desperation.
Excited to see how Mourinho sets about knocking him down a peg or ten.
Julius Caesar, Marc Antony etc are turning in their graves.
1yr contract, too.
Ronaldo's apparently been asked to be let out of his United contract.
At this point I'd frankly be all for it, if it weren't for the facts that it would leave Martial as our only striker and the market is totally dry.
What’s Ighalo upto?
I'm a twit
Hasn't he already had no takers for his services due to his wages/Champions' League whinge? Who is having him on a free?
We've signed Tayo Adaramola on loan from Crystal Palace which is a very promising looking signing, we marked it by beaming his face on the old Ikea and letting off some sparklers.
Cucurella, the little snake, hands in a ransfer request eh? Good luck strong arming Bloom and co if City aren't interested in coughing up the frankly insane asking price.
£50m is mental.
£50m full back once a season is standard operating procedure City.
Man’s class. Well worth it.
One of the world's best in the position, perfectly suited to City and 24. £50m is a bargain and thankfully one City may reject.
Seems a pretty safe bet not to be a rapist too, which you can’t honestly say much these days.
I'm a twit
Cucurella staying and City no doubt opting to buy in some cheap foreigner as a third-choice fullback behind Cancelo and Walker. Whisper it kids but they're in trouble.
He’s joining Chelsea mate
Or Barcelona I suppose
Didn't realise Brighton had paid nearly £16m for him last summer. Sort of makes the fee they are holding out for a bit less lol, and City bowling in with £25m or whatever it was beyond funny.
If Chelsea sign him I presume it’s to play him left wing back until Chilwell remembers how to football again and then play him left centre back or at least cover there. Still, they have other positions they really should be thinking about prioritising.
Especially if they’re chucking Colwill into the deal
Have Chelsea actually been linked with him or are they just de facto linked with every player that every other club in existence hold an interest in? Wouldn't make much sense for them to be spaffing quite so much money on a position they already have a £50m player for.
Ornstein and Romano have both reported they’re trying to ‘hijack’ him from going to City
On the Ornstein front, this is my favourite Chelsea rumour of the day:
What a selection to choose from.But as per The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Chelsea remain unfazed by Rodgers’ stance. And he says they are readying a move for Fofana, despite Leicester’s prohibitive £80m asking price.
He claims the Blues will offer Leicester their pick of their several fringe players in order to reduce the outlay. And while no players are named, they reportedly include Callum Hudson-Odoi, Malang Sarr and Ross Barkley.
How much did CHO's agent extort out of Chelsea during the Englishmen in the Bundesliga Bayern interest mania?
I don't understand the delay in Chelsea's activity given they have the money and owner and manager seem united. Maybe they need to still offload shite which others are delaying on.
Similarly, Wolves have nothing beyond about 13 senior players, Everton are a LGBT event away from not having any goalscorers and Newcastle are still trying to thinly veil their blood money by hiding it all under the matress. These fuckers have had months to act, it's clear incompetence.
I haven't seen any evidence that the new mob really have a clue what they're doing.
I'm imagining that scene in Succession where Kendall and Stuey go into that English pub and shout to nobody that they want a bottle of champagne.

Probably further confirmed by the above Ornstein story going on to describe Chelsea's interest in Denzel Dumfries, as if they don't already have one of the best right wingbacks going in James. Is he being shunted back into the back 3 or something?
