Klopp, who doesn’t spend money, looking to spend 60m on Fekir to go with 50m Keita

[Guest]

Worth a mention is Cesc Fabregas joining Monaco. Been a fantastic servant to Arsenal & Chelsea, and a credit to the English game. Departs, while currently sitting second in all-time assists in the PL.

Tottenham accept £11m offer from Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan for midfielder Mousa Dembele.

Bayern Munich have announced the signing of right back Benjamin Pavard

Pavard is a sensational player but unless Kimmich will move into midfield seems a strange move

They may have bought him as a centre back. He plays there regularly for Stuttgart and given the form of Hummels and Boateng it wouldn't be a surprise for Bayern to have identified Pavard as a replacement. Bayern are actively trying to reduce the age of their team.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ramsey seems strongly likely to go to Juve. Not good enough for Arsenal, apparently

[GSC]

Don't really think Arsenal will miss him all the same. Never quite turned the corner to become a really good player.

[Nathaniel Jacobs]

Barcelona have signed Kevin-Prince Boateng. To say I'm shocked would be an understatement

[Lowlandbrit]

Barcelona are also adding Frenkie de Jong in the summer for 75 million euro.

Gladly the fantastic young Dutchman chose Barcelona over the cash grab of PSG.

Th Parisians gonna be salty losing Rabiot on a free and missing out on de JONG

Toon sign Jordan Lukaku on loan

Fallen through

[Guest]

Youri Tielemens signing for Leicester on loan
Miguel Almiron signs for Newcastle from Atalanta in a club-record deal
Sam Vokes joining Stoke for £7m. Peter Crouch to Burnley

[Duty281]

You know it's a slow deadline day when the main story is about Crouchy returning to the Premier League with Burnley, probably as a bench option.

[Guest]

Man U close to signing Daniel James for £15m

[compelling and rich]

Man U close to signing Daniel James for £15m

not seen much of him, is he the really quick player they have?

had my fill of overpaid big money signings, quite willing to give kids like this a chance. cant get much worst, you'd think lads like this will at least give their best

[GSC]

Hes quick but could do with gametime.

[Atila]

Andre Herrera confirms that he is leaving United on a free transfer, presumably to PSG. Shame that United won't get anything for him too.

I will be sorry to see him go as I thought he was one of the few players that seemed to put in a decent shift at United. At the same time, United are right in not allowing themselves to be held to ransom. I'm sure Herrera would have stayed at United if they had offered him a fortune, but they didn't, and now he's off.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Weirdly, he’s the only one of theirs I’d have kept.

Think he’s underrated as an actual footballer because Jose made him do lots of the dirty work and niggly stuff.

[Atila]

Antonio Valencia is leaving United too. I have no idea where he's going but he says that he still going to play. So that's two United players on their way.

[GSC]

Griezmann off to Barca for 100m

[Guest]

Griezmann off to Barca for 100m

Dybala heading to Atlético to replace him?

Not actually sure that progresses Barca. You don’t win CL’s by ignoring that defence, and just praying that front three bails you out. Seems to be their policy, and it hasn’t worked since 14/15 season.

[GSC]

They're not gonna rebuild the squad until Messi retires.

Squad still needs work but at least it gives them an option at the top end of the pitch that isnt Messi

[Nathaniel Jacobs]

Being reported that the Catalans have agreed €80m deal for Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

They’re going De Ligt, De Jong and Grizzle.

They do need to add something up top, the current three aren’t good enough. Suarez is defying many predictions that he was losing it, but it’s a fight, Dembele and Coutinho don’t appear to have worked. That Messi lad is reet good though.

[Guest]

Andre Herrera confirms that he is leaving United on a free transfer, presumably to PSG.

Can’t blame him leaving the mess of United, to earn £300k a week at PSG.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Inter and June both interested in Sanchez, providing he either lowers his wage demands or United subsidise. Apparently talks have been productive, I’d imagine he can find it again in Italy.

Inter remain interested in Lukaku and I hope to God it involves an Icardi switch. Imagine the English media dealing with a footballer whose agent is his wife

[Nathaniel Jacobs]

Real Madrid starting the rebuilding process. They've agreed €60m deal for Luka Jovic and €50m deal for Ferland Mendy.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Bournemouth get Lloyd Kelly. I love how they do business

[Atila]

United supposedly to have agreed personal terms with Swansea's Daniel James. I don't know much about him, but from what I've read, he's a decent player.

[Guest]

Dortmund have signed Thorgan Hazard and Julian Brandt for a combined €68million.

Christian Eriksen confirms he wants to leave Tottenham

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Christian Eriksen has said he wants to try something new and hopestherell be “clarification over summer”

[compelling and rich]

eriksen would be a huge loss for spurs. more often than not he's the one to lay it ion for kane and alli

any news on pogba going back to juve. i'll give him a piggy back to the airport

[GSC]

Eriksen is a weird one for me, I'm not sure theres a better fit for him than Spurs

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The boy is talented, think he’d be perfect for a better side. Could suit Madrid or Barca for me

[Nathaniel Jacobs]

Eriksen is essentially a poor mans Frenkie de Jong. Both came through the Ajax system. One joins Barcelona aged 22 whilst the other is still at spurs aged 28.

[JDizzle]

Fee agreed for Hazard. £88m with the potential to get to £130m, so will probably end up somewhere in the middle.

Was always inevitable really, but I did hope that Madrid’s head might be turned by a Mbappe, Neymar or even Pogba type and he would remain. Still, he’s been an incredible player for Chelsea and at least CHO is going to sign a new deal so they won’t both leave this summer.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Benfica are in for Teemu Pukki

[Dolphin Ziggler]

West Ham sign Pablo Fornals CIA we buy good players now.

Villa and Bournemouth want Butland, with Stoke looking at Hart as the replacement.

[Atila]

Sky Sports are reporting that Man U are interested in West Ham's Issa Diop.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

As much as he’d be a good signing for them, I’d bet it’s a mix of stuff said in the season and brinksmanship about Maguire and targets like him

[GSC]

Lampards been offered a 3 year contract by Chelsea apparently.

Basically using the Sarri money to buy him out

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Absolutely fallen on his feet. Nothing year for Derby, gonna get a job cos of his connection.

[GSC]

Always better to finish stronger than starting strong when it comes to recency bias

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

They've obviously seen how well appointing a "legend" has gone at Utd and thought "lets have some of that"

Tbf, Solskjær has 8 years of managerial mediocrity. At least we don’t know Lampard will be bad yet, even though he probably will be. If he can show some youth team players are good enough for first team football, then it might be worth it.

Lampard did show some promise as a rookie manager for sure, also some worrying things - you know like finishing with a point less, less goals scored and more goals conceded than Gary Rowett did with Derby - and Lampard had a much better squad due to the loanees he was able to attract...

I can't profess to have watched a huge amount (any) of Derby bar the Leeds second leg, but I did see that he lowered the age of the squad considerably and lost their top scorer in Vydra whilst maintaining the same level - they were 9th or 10th favourites before the season in the betting. But that's just me being glass half full. And they massively over-performed their underlying numbers, which generally means a regression to the mean is coming. Worrying, but like I say, if him and Jody come in and give some of the younger players a chance at least it won't be totally pointless.

[GSC]

Derby tried to play but were a bit fragile for the Championship. I suspect he'll have more margin for error at Chelsea tbh, certainly in the short term where the ban and his status give him more leverage than most managers there.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Norwich set to sign David Turnbull from Motherwell for £3m up front and 250k in add ons, after he rejected a move to Celtic.

We're also close to getting Jordan Rhodes back on loan

[BamBam]

Hummels back to Dortmund

[Guest]

Olly, I see United now focusing on Max Aarons for £25m, instead of Wan-Bissaka at over £60m.
