Don't forget that Walcott can also play there.

Why are we not in for Draxler? Such a no brainer. Oh wait, we have Welbeck to cover for that left attacking midfield position

I know. Fixes a few problems now and going into next season

Heard the Dortmund rumors aren't true though

Jovetic has signed for Monaco. Takes Mbappe number straight away who is having his PSG medical soon.

Leicester agrees 40m fee with Chelsea for Drinkwater and 20m fee with PSG for Krychowiak.

Are we even linked with anyone?

I've always thought Drinkwater was seriously but £40m for him is crazy. The market is nuts. And theres Wenger, sitting on his hands.

Everyone is moving like mad in the market right now before it gets disrupted by the international break.

We are not expecting to sign anyone though

Wow - Kante, Bakayoko and Krychowiak is an overload in that Chelsea midfield!

I think you misunderstood - Leicester sold Drinkwater to Chelsea and then they signed Krychowiak.

People seem to think Leicester made a genius move. I've never been convinced by Krychowiak personally, but I do think Drinkwater's gonna be very useful for Conte. He's an underrated player.

I think it's krychowiak to Leicester?

Getting Drinkwaters a brilliant move, even if the price is a bit mad. He and Kante were amazing together. He's the perfect player to slot in when needed at Chelsea. Very underrated passer.

Yep, I think so too. Plus he's one of the best players in the league without the ball. I think he'll fit Chelsea really well.

Lol...and to think we bought Xhaka in that role. The banter era is well and truly on.

Liverpool agree a deal for Keita, he will join them next season. Over £48m is the price being mentioned. I’m assuming they know he will be in demand big time next season so wrapping this one up now is a good idea. They’ve paid a premium over his release clause to get this done

And now news that pool have agreed a deal for keita, with a view to joining asst the start of next season

We're absolutely getting left in the dust

If they manage to get Lemar + Keita for the money they are getting for Coutinho then they've played an absolute blinder here.

Getting Keita is huge. Guy is a Kante who can pass better and assist better.

Liverpool really smart here.

Hopefully Monaco price them out of a deal, but I've a bad feeling they will probably get him

They also know that they have no chance to get him next season, so they've paid the premium and tied the deal up. Could you imagine that ever being done here? We'd probably offer below the fucking release clause!

Liverpool in recent years have done some shit business but this is one is very smart.
