Nainggolan to Inter, Pastore to Roma.

Weird one, why would Roma let him go to their rivals?

I wonder if we should've looked at him for that price....

No need to sign more players on a downward trajectory.

and another cringeworthy piano intro? 😆

Manolas to Chelsea supposedly close - “Sarri’s first signing”. Whoever decided to sign Mustafi ahead of him should be sacked.

Meh Manolas is just the same as Mustafi - errors all over the place

He's been sacked.

Dortmund have officially signed Diallo.
Arguably an upgrade over Sokratis for them.

Definitely an upgrade in terms of potential but he's still young and a bit rash. Dortmund have a great defensive coach in Favre so let's hope we can poach him in a couple years time when he's become the man to take over

Fuck Dortmund btw

Dutch giants Ajax are close to agreeing an £18m deal for Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic.

Southampton have agreed a fee with Basel for young winger Mohamed Elyounoussi, according to Sky sources. Fee believed to be in the region of £16m.

Juventus are on the verge of signing Valencia’s Joao Cancelo, reports Marca.

West Ham have increased their offer for Felipe Anderson to €40million plus a bonus arrangement depending on a number of appearances, according to Sky in Italy.

How's felipe anderson doing these days? I can remember him being frequently wish-listed in the past.

I remember that Felipe Melo fella too. Golly we’ve been linked to some shit footballers.

Looks like Chelsea is determined to hijack Juventus Golovin deal. 27m bid.

Not a bad price for him. We should be all over that.

Phew.. dodged a houseboat bullet there

Alban Lafont has joined Fiorentina for €8.5m. Interested to see how he does after a dodgy season last year.

Will fade into obscurity.

Mahrez to City, for £60m. Medical this week.

Its moments like these, when you realize, how big the financial gap is, with them.

60m for a backup.

Shouldn't FFP be preventing this sort of thing? Or does it just prevent clubs from taking on debt and owned funded equity is acceptable? I know they have a shady Etihad sponsorship contract which effectively funds the club through an inflated contract - not sure if there's more to it.

It's all down to just amazing coaching by the bald messiah.

They were so short last year and couldn't compete in all comps remember? So much adversity.

UEFA FFP rules are pretty tough to break to be honest unless you're in full dick swinging mode like PSG. You can make a £35m loss over a period of 3 years and even then it excludes expenditure on certain things like infrastructure.

Also I imagine Man City are probably expanding the revenue significant every season since they have a lot of slack compared to established clubs.

I like arsedocs irrational burning hatred of City and the bald one. Diversity makes this place more interesting everyone hating the same target is boring
