    No wonder so many players have their friends and family members as their agents. They work for two weeks every two years and can earn £20m+ for some phone calls.

    Kepa for £71 million. It's silly money, but in terms of the player we're getting I don't think we could have done too much better (if indeed it's true).

    Should have signed Sirigu for nothing. Anyone who needed a 'keeper probably should have. Italian as well so you'd think he'd have been a shoe-in at Chelsea.

    Bilbao got paid around the same sum in January for Laporte. What on earth are they going to spend all that on?

    In other news I saw a pic of Jay Rodriguez on the bbc live text thing, what the fuck happened to him?
    Oblak is a better keeper than Courtois.

    United selling Pogba would probably make me skip the season.

    Chambers confirmed in on loan for the season. Still would like a left back signing before the deadline, but this window has been pretty unbelievable as a Fulham fan.

    I'm a million years behind actual transfer news. I may as well be jeet.

    From red news today:

    That picture from the pre-season tour, of Woodward meeting Mourinho [on August 1st], has an interesting bit of context ... It was the first time Mourinho and Woodward had seen each other on the tour, which (if you believe Media reports) hasn't impressed Mourinho #gossip

    I liked the look of Belloti for Torino tonight. Never seen him before. Has a touch of the head prison guard from the Shawshank Redemption about him.

    Costa and now Courtois have both disrespected Chelsea by not turning up for training. The total violation in order to try and force moves. I will actually be near Chelsea today. I may have to drop into Stamford Bridge and tell the Chelsea bossmen about themselves.

    All i’ve been hearing about Grealish is that he has a terrible haircut, but I actually think it’s pretty great. Should go for more of a middle part if he wants to take it to the next level.

    Athletico Madrid has signed Nikola Kalinic who refused to play for Croatia for the World Cup and was sent home.
    Wolves are interested in Sam Clucas from Swansea.
    Bernard is joining up with Everton.
    Huddersfield are in talks with a player called Isaac Mbenza. I dont know if he has any relation to Emile and Mbo, but that surname brings back memories from the great days of Pro Evo.

    Courtois done the same thing to join Chelsea so I’m not really understanding Chelsea fans crying about it. His family are in Madrid so it’s a no brainier for him.

    Not that you'd say no to a player with Dembeles talents if they are basically being offered out...

    But A where would all that money come from, and B would it really be worth it at the end of the day?

    I can't see how Mourinho would get anything out of Dembele.

    He should probably just go upmarket big Sam at this point.

    The rumor is a 10m loan fee followed by 90m permanent fee next year. The club has 2 wingers on the books and sold literally every player that can dribble past a man at this point so yes, even if he weren't clearly really fucking good, he'd be useful.

    Because the agents fee is split over each year of the contract so why would he advise his player not to do it.

    I don't actually know how good he is. I always find it difficult to know if tricky wingers who have one amazing season are the real deal or one-season wonders, and he never seems to have been given a proper chance at Barcelona.

    If Arsenal can afford him, why not.

    At the same time I'd kind of like to see what becomes of Reiss-Nelson.

    I was thinking it would go absolutely bonkers, but besides Chelsea it seems a bit too quiet. Fulham have quietly gone about smashing it all summer, Wolves too, to a more Portuguese extent.

    You've got to think teams like Bournemouth and Southampton will be a bit worried. Needs some panic buys.

    I'm starting to think that transfers shouldn't be allowed at all, except for those out of contract. The game of chicken is tedious and undermines the sport.

    Wolves are now linked with Leander Dendoncker from Anderlecht and Renato Sanches. Get both of them the fuck out of here.

    Jerome Boateng to Man Utd could still be possible, as an initial loan move.

    Dendoncker would be a very decent signing. Fekir going to Chelsea or Liverpool is the only bit of excitement we’re going to get.

    Presumably Liverpool would only make another expensive signing as some sort of trolling exercise, which I would thoroughly endorse as a rationale (the kind of thinking that saw Chelsea sign Willian way back when).

    Honestly can’t think of a worse kind of player to come to the Premier League.

    Juninho and Zola did alright.

    Flavour of the month defensive midfielders expensively acquired from Monaco have a much worse track record.

    Zola was hardly scrawny.

    Not that I know anything about this Bernard guy. I thought picking up a Brazilian international who went for £20m 8 years ago sounded quite shrewd business. What's the track record with Shakhtar's Brazilians? Willian's been good. No idea on that Texeira who buggered off to China. Didn't they have one called Taison as well? Douglas Costa? He'd be another hit.

    Fernandinho also came from Shakhter.

    Until G.Jesus and Firminio turned up, attacking Brazilian players did poorly in the league. We have had this discussion before.

    What about the Eduardo that Arsenal signed? He was looking alright til his ankle disintegrated.
