    Mikel Merino's going back to Spain. Shame, I thought he was lively.

    Southampton have signed another striker in their hopes to one day find someone that can score more than 12 in a season. This time it's someone from Basel.

    I don't get the obsession managers seem to have with Willian. He's good, but he's not spectacular and he's getting on. Mourinho apparently wants him too. No thanks.

    Edit: daily mail rumours, sincere, come on lad...

    I watch and see everything. I share it with the rest of you nerds.

    Willian is a player all teams needs if you are trying to build a sysyem. He offers amazing service defensively. Man never stops running. Offensively, he isn't the most clinical or potant but he is effective.

    He works hard and is reliable. Managers want that, not flair.

    I would be chuffed with a striker who scores 12.

    He's scored 44 in 236 games for Chelsea. I don't care how hard he works, that's not good enough.

    Willian only ever stands out when the team around him is complete arse which I'm not sure to take as a positive or a negative.

    He's not a goalscorer and I don't think anyone has ever pretended he is. He's a technically adept wide man who does his defensive work, strikes a decent ball, scores his share, and takes a decent free kick.

    Managers like having the above. Especially managers like Mourinho.

    The claim is it gives us more to spend on the other positions we need to strengthen since Mourinho wanted another midfielder if he left.

    If true then it's fine. Fred replaced Carrick (who never played) in the squad so Fellaini is another place down the pecking order on where he was.

    He doesn't get assists either though. I just think he's not effective enough to be a sought-after forward at a top club.

    Thanks to this post, I've only just found out the Fred that United have signed isn't the old not very good striker. I had been really confused about them signing him before.

    I definitely see him as a midfielder, not a forward. And assists as we know hinge entirely on who's doing the finishing.

    If Barcelona want to pay us decent money, though, they're welcome to him and we'll spend the proceeds on sandwiches and crisps.

    Calum Chambers is signing a new deal at Arsenal. I prefer clubs to stick with the young English players, but he is a train-wreck at times. Perfect for Arsenal it seems.

    He has 36 in 143 in the last 3 seasons though which I reckon is good for a winger/attacking midfielder. Surely he doesn't count as a forward?

    Hazard has 40 in 137 for reference.

    Maybe I'm being unfair and thinking of where I'd be expecting him to play for Utd (on the right of a three) rather than where he's actually played which may be further back. Still definitely don't want him.

    Oliver Giroud has scored more goals than Hazard. They both made their premire league debut at the same time. Dont bring up Hazard goal scoring record again.

    What is Hazard? Doesn’t score. Doesn’t provide. What does he do? Go on exciting runs? So did Aaron Lennon.

    £50m for Willian, who is all about work rate and is going to be 30 come the new season, is batshit.

    He's wasted his life at Chelsea. He would have been much more highly regarded if he'd gone to either Spurs or Liverpool when that original transfer fiasco went down. Less medals though.

    You're probably better off playing Giroud on the wing tbh. I reckon that's why Chelsea bought him, direct replacement.

    Aye, but in the alternative career path universe he'd have been winning medals at Real Madrid or Barcelona.

    That would mean Hazard has directly contributed to loads more goals than Giroud, making your wider point complete piffle.

    Newcastle have signed Ki from Swansea which, all things going well, could end up in Nobby Solanoesque cult status I think. Really interesting player.

    Sweet. I'm genuinely pleased we've bought a player. Looking at the Merino deal, we're probably making £4m profit on him which is fine.

    West Ham has made a £25m+ offer for Alassane Plea from Nice. West Ham, from what I can remember have signed so many strikers who have been awful over the years

    We've announced the signing of Sokratis about 3 times already.

    We all know that if there was three, they would have just signed the shittest one and stopped there.
