    £13.75m apparently. Given that is now pennies, not a bad signing at all.

    I'm starting to worry that Liverpool will win the league, perhaps even with immense ease.

    Looking at how the squads are shaping up so far, these are the teams I would worry about: Bournemouth, Newcastle, Cardiff, Chelsea, Everton.

    The one great asset Newcastle have is Benitez. Need to keep him at all costs. Their players are just a load of utter crap on the wrong end of their careers, with the singular exception of Lascelles (and Kenedy I guess).

    Shaqiri is never a good signing for liverpool, he’s about their 4th best winger and where are all those predictable crosses going to go? He’ll be out at the end of the season

    Unfortunately that is exactly what's happening, again. The club is in the middle of one of those transfer merry-go-rounds that saw Giroud move to Chelsea. Shaqiri going to Liverpool means Stoke can buy Ritchie, which means Newcastle can then buy Townsend and then Palace can sign Antonio.

    Selling Mbemba will bring us a new backup defender. Mitrovic to Fulham brings a new striker (seems like it might be Rondon) and selling Merino funds...a curry night for MASH Holdings.

    Benitez has obviously played a good bit of FM, so he knows what he needs to do at least.

    Rondon on his own up top is awful. The man needs a 4-4-2.

    I quite like him, seems far more mobile than most would give him credit for and has a banging strike on him. He'll have his flaws, but he's going to be a significantly better player than Gayle/Joselu. He's also been managed by Tony Pulis, Gary Megson and Alan Pardew so far in this country.

    I absolutely rate him but he just can't score goals on his own. When he has a runner off him to either distract or to play to he's immense.

    If you plopped him down in the mid 90s and did the big man, little man thing he'd be on Shearer numbers.

    Jamal Blackman is joining Leeds on loan. I can remember loaning him on FM back in 2008. Has he saved a shot with Chelsea in a competitive game yet? Surely he is about 30.

    Shaqiri's a shite signing.

    EDIT: Wait, he's only 26? I thought he was about 32. Not that bad then, I guess.

    2 thirds of their squad have never played a competitive game.

    He's 24, his twitter handle is @Big_Blacks, and he's played 98 senior games (though none for Chelsea).

    Chelsea are a football team who play in the English Premier League. They are based in London and their home ground is Stamford Bridge.

    Hayden's made a transfer request for family reasons. Jack Colback's off to Forest so that can only mean one thing:

    Jack Rodwell is making the trip.

    He doesn't have as many goals as Giroud, that's true.

    Is he clinical enough to replace Ronaldo. I dont think he is and there may be better long term options for Madrid such as Mbappe as ann example

    He's the best player in the Premier League for me. He's only shackled by a team that whilst very good, doesn't play to suit him, plus the revolving door of forwards he's playing with and managerial styles don't help either.

    If he wants to go to Madrid, they will 100% buy him.

    Mbappe has even less chance of leaving PSG than Neymar. Not happening.

    Madrid will probably buy Hazard for their left side and bring in a better striker to help share the goal load.

    It will be interesting to see how Madrid go in Europe without Ronaldo. You can't replace him, but radically transforming their playing style won't immediately work either, so I can see it all descending into a sideways passing mess for a year or two, by which time the current bin man will have been chucked and then who knows.

    He’s not even the best Belgian playing in the Premier League.

    He'll do. He won't bring Ronaldo's goals but might offer a supply for someone like Benzema.

    It's unfair to compare players to Fellaini you know.
