You can't bring in free transfers in Premier League if the player was released by his former club after the window closed, as far as I'm aware. So we wouldn't be able to register Khedira until January.

As far as I'm aware we can sign free transfers till 2nd sept.

Are Kheidera and Emre Can the exact same player to anyone else?

Wishlists favourite Lozano going to Napoli for 42m.

Barca trying to buy Neymar for 100m + Coutinho but PSG wants 140m + Coutinho. PSG wants Dybala + Donnaruma as well.

So Barca need to buy Dybala and Donnaruma so they can then include them in the deal?

LOL, no. Can is a much more all action player, a better all-rounder who does more in both directions. Very strong defensively, great tackler and presser. 

Khedira was potentially similar 5 or 6 years ago but since injuries took their toll, he's been less of an all action midfielder. He is more likely to push up more with Ramsey-like bursts into the final 3rd. We were linked to him 3 or 4 years back. Bullet dodged. 

He really won't play this season. That midfield is loaded with Ramsey and Rabiot joining Pjanic, Can, Matuidi, etc.

Did you see the PSG fans' posters of the weekend telling Neymar to f-off? The price might drop as the days progress. The management and fans have grown tired of his circus. 

Dunno why any team would want Neymar.

If you can keep his father and Iverson-like entourage out of town, the guy is an upper echelon talent. If you can get an attacker like that who unlocks defenses on his own, you take him. PSG are exhausted. Time for someone else to see if they have the formula

Indeed. And even if football is his part time job, he's an incredible player.

It was hilarious that they spent all that effort learning and printing a few choice Spanish phrases instead of Portuguese.

A player of his quality is sold only every few years, there aren't better players on the market. Barca don't have the same kind of history with him as PSG do either. He was always an extremely popular player right until he decided to leave, which he did for an incredible sum.

Does seem like Mustafi will be offloaded, even if it's on loan to someone. Elneny reportedly close to Galatasary as well.

Not sure how you could be frustrated by replacing Ribery/Robben with Perisic.....he's six years younger, and a solid player.

The same way Quincy was frustrated when we got Luiz instead of Upamecano. These fans were expecting Sane. 

Luckily we were linked to Rugani in between, so it was more like excited > miserable > happy enough 😃
