Seeing rumours of Rooney to Derby 🤔
Makes sense family wise. He has had a massive house built in Cheshire, that is home for his wife and kids, kids are young and need stability for schools. He can commute for training to Derby.

Djibril Sidibe to Everton almost complete. On loan for this season with a £14m option to buy. Nice piece of business, needed a back-up to Seamus after sending Kenny on loan to Schalke and Sidibe is very good. Really impressed with Marcel Brands, making some very shrewd moves in the transfer market.

I read that and thought you said Djibril Cisse for a second, I nearly fell out my chair. Sidibe was good when Monaco won the league wasn't he? That's a pretty good deal. We need a bloody right back maybe we should have been looking at him! Only one we're linked with is Hysaj of Napoli, heard mixed reviews.
How come he is so cheap, comparatively? A world cup winner, not that old. Seems a great deal, planning for the end of Seamus. Marcel has a very good black book from the looks of things so far.

I mean he only played once in the dead rubber group match, but sure, world cup winner.
He's won more world cups than Maguire and Wan Bissaka 🤣🤣.I mean he only played once in the dead rubber group match, but sure, world cup winner.
He's played for France enough times, he can't be a mug. I don't know anything about him, other than a quick Google, as I don't follow the French league. Seems a great deal on the face of it. I'm looking for the catch, perhaps there isn't one and we have just been smart? It happened last year with Digne.

Agree. Ole is only doing what he can do. I like the character of the players he is signing. Wan Bissaka, McGuire, James are young and don't have a pre-madonna aura about them. Greenwood could come of age too. Wan Bissaka has looked great pre season and don't be surprised to see McTominay have a good season. He looked great against Milan defensively and going forward too. If he plays Rashford and Martial as out and out strikers (not left wing), we have a young and threatening team.
I don't think we are good enough to win the league yet, i like his strategy of investing (albeit lots of £) in the type of player.

Not really sure. They came 17th in Ligue 1 last season, so don't imagine they've got too much bargaining power and are probably looking to build a new team. They sent Tielemans who's one of the most promising midfielders in Europe to Leicester on a loan with a £40m option to buy, which again is a bargain for the quality he brings.

I dunno where that's come from all of a sudden. He said he only wanted to leave us for Real initially and they weren't bothered so I figured he was staying. I don't know why he would move to United really. Obviously money but still.

West Ham complete their 5th summer signing in a 18 yo Portuguese centre back who was being tracked by Watford, lazio and inter Milan
Rumours of 2 others in the pipeline . Defensive midfield and young striker
Add those 2 the 2 very good signings in fornels (who looks class) and Haller , combined with no losing diop or rice I’d say the window has been a success

yeah we asked for 2 or 3 new defenders, instead weve sold 2 centre halfs (incl our captain), still have the ones everyone wants sold (yes mustafi i mainly mean you), the only one weve signed weve loaned straight back out to his existing club, but hey weve bought some fancy wide attacking players (and I thought we'd changed managers haha)
obviously when we sign 3 defenders before the deadline ill retract (read delete) this post

Rumours that Coutinho could be returning to the PL on a loan deal. So for fans of the clubs that are rumoured to be interested - Spurs, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool - would you rather have Coutinho come in on loan for a season or two, keep/sign Eriksen, replace Eriksen with Coutinho (Spurs fans only), or not go for either and get someone else?

It’s been a quiet window , some very talented youngsters bought , I don’t think the market is great at the moment and think the manager is happy to develop the squad he has - going to expect better season from Keita after starting brightly last season, Ox coming back is a bonus.
Think there have been some very strange signings and some mad money spread about - reckon Leicester getting Tielenmans is a great bit of business and them Wolves look strong to challenge Chelsea and Arsenal , Everton I think still missing a proven goalscorer. Villa seem to have gone mad spending.
I look at our rivals and haven’t seen much strengthening despite a lot being spent by some. Can see Utd getting back into the Top 4
And with the Coutinho question- he won’t be welcomed back to the club by Klopp , he faked an injury , paid to get out of the club quicker and has flopped - we moved on from him - will be surprised if he comes back to the Prem especially for a £25mil loan fee

can he play centre half? that pretty much sums up my answer (would love him after weve bought a defense!)
Who are they?
I think your squad will have you 2nd comfortably. Still think you lack creativity in the middle. Lallana and Shaqiri both other a little, but won't start games imo.
For me, any club sitting still goes backwards. Happened to spurs last year and think it'll be same for you guys.
See City getting close too 100 again. You low 90s and the rest low 80s again.
