Oh, and Isco's joined Union Berlin. A proper FM transfer.

Buying Chelseas offcuts has been a raging success machine for Arsenal Futbol Club with every move we've made since 2006 so why fix something that ain't broke. Jorginho for 20 million. Get it done.
Find a guy good at winning penalties and you're set.
Brighton apparently looking at Vitinha who I don't recall making much of an impression for Wolves when he was there. Apparently has 14 Ligue 1 starts for PSG this season.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or notOriginally Posted by phonics
It's actually the Vitinha who has 7 in 12 for Braga this season lol. I should have known.
Elland Road - Land of the free, home of the brave and hopefully soon not-to-be-relegated.
Who's next? Can we have Pulisic, Jim? Surely you don't need him anymore.
Considering the absolutely batshit amounts Chelsea have spent, their first 11 still looks pretty meh.
Although actually it suddenly looks rather good if you put in a proper striker and goalkeeper.
I'm not really sure why it's taken so long as it's been threatening to happen for the best part of a decade but EPL is seriously on heat in the market currently. Literally the shittest sides right at the bottom of the league are spending £20m+ like it's nothing on top individual players from Europe's big boys (outside of the CL elite). And all whilst the CL big boys can seemingly barely afford to keep the lights on. I'm not sure how long before we enter that NBA draft phase where the newly promoted side are picking up LeBron Mbappe from a Real Madrid level side.
Can tell you've only just started supporting Chelsea in the last few years.
Off the top of my head: Diarra, Gallas, Cech, Nketia, Luiz and Willian.
Hardly a successful transition. Arsenal > Chelsea on the other hand has actually seen players win trophies name European ones at that.
Hint: it was sarcasm.
I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not.
Yeah Waff we all saw fat Willian.
Apparently Arsenal have broke the bank for Caicedo as a massive lump sum club record and Brighton have accepted.
Edit: apparently bollocks, dodgy facebook page.

Jorginho to Arsenal is a done deal. Seems absolutely mental Chelsea letting him go when Fernandez isn’t even a guarantee but not as mental as Arsenal paying £12m for a 31 year old who has been shit for 18 months and available for free in 5 months
Brighton's stance seems pretty firm so it'd need to be £80m straight cash all up front.
He'll go in the summer.
They probably know the Fernandez deal is happening.
Caicedo going public has ruined his chances.
Some Sky Sports graphic doing the rounds claiming his stats this season are better than Xhaka or Partey supposedly.
He's always been a good passer, just has severe limitations when it comes to the moment your team doesn't have the ball.
Lies, damned lies and statistics etc.
Maybe, although I think it was always pretty unlikely that he would be allowed to leave unless someone ponied up way over the ante for him (ie 80-100m).
Chelsea should make an offer and chuck some players Brighton's way.
I think Brighton are saying no out of principle now.
Caicedo has gone about it all the wrong way and will likely command the same fee in the summer. They're in a push for Europe which they will likely need him to finish off.
Cancelo to Bayern is a real head scratcher. High turnover with a bottomless backer is the new financial wizardry, isn't it?
Meanwhile Matt Doherty as gone to A. Madrid?
Fallen out irreconcilably with Pep apparently.
Eriksen out for a few months. You'd hate to see them not sign a replacement in the next 12 hours and their season going to shit.
They’ll probably trigger Enzo Fernandez’s RC since Chelsea aren’t getting anywhere with it
The Enzo dream is over and now Man Utd and Chelsea fight it out for Sabitzer
I was going to say Plettenberg is a bullshit merchant, but Fab is on it now too (although says it's only United, Chelsea not interested).The Enzo dream is over and now Man Utd and Chelsea fight it out for Sabitzer
And yet you still can't tell if it was sarcasm or not.
I'd rather go after Amrabat.
At least it’s only 18 months and looks like it’s for cover so it makes a bit of sense at least.
I imagine we'll be after a loan; can't imagine the Glazers sanctioning spending any actual money on their way out. Given the Eriksen injury, just getting a half-decent body in is fine.
Shocked the links are him and not Gravenberch. Easy Dutch link.
Meanwhile Matt Doherty as gone to A. Madrid?
Southampton have gone from Stuart Armstrong, Walcott and Maitland-Niles to Orsic, Sulemana and an Argentinian wonderkid. Scenes.
Sabitzer is the more realistic target surely. I wouldn't think Bayern are that interested in keeping him and I can't imagine he's very happy with how much he's playing there.
Ye but you’re a bit dim when it comes to football opinions so it is quite hard to tell at times.
9/4 for Fernandez to stat at Benfica with sky bet. Lump on
Ornstein saying Benfica have arranged for him to do his medical in Portugal though, so maybe hold your bets.
Sabitzer to United is DONE, straight loan.
Is he any good?
Sounds like an indigestion remedy.
He was great in the Red Bull team with Tim O'Werner, but hasn't done much at Bayern. I don't hold out too much hope, but seeing as it's that or play the U12s we might as well give him a whirl. Ten Hag knows him from when he was their AssMan
On second thoughts (and it’s years since I’ve seen Atletico Madrid), as good as it is to see Doherty get out of there, isn’t an attacking wing back the last thing Simeone would ever have? Especially one that wouldn’t be the biggest rock at the back ever.
He's been playing Carrasco on the left, who's ostensibly a winger - so it's not unheard of. Whether Simeone is there for much longer isn't certain though
