United have agreed a deal to bring in Amrabat on loan with an option to buy. He could be an excellent signing.

I was surprised that no one went in for him after the last world cup. He looked a very decent player and I thought his performances would have got him a move back then.

Think a lot more clubs are worried about signing players off the back of a good World Cup - happened plenty of times only for players to bomb

Looks to be in excess of £45 million. Not sure how much in excess of that

£47.5m apparently, with 10% sell-on.
Can't really complain at that as it's pure profit.
And in return it funds the purchases of;
Ibrahim Sangaré
Callum Hudson-Odoi
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Mad Greek GK from Benfica)
Nico Dominguez
With Tavares and Murillo already announced.
Bring in a backup striker for Awoniyi and this has been the best transfer window I can remember.

He won't replace Kane's goals, but he falls over at least as often as Harry.

Also, it's funny how Burnley have signed 20 (I think) players and spent nearly £150m this transfer window, but no one seems to be having a meltdown about how many signings they've made

Hadn't even noticed. I don't think anyone gives a shiny one what Burnley get up to.Also, it's funny how Burnley have signed 20 (I think) players and spent nearly £150m this transfer window, but no one seems to be having a meltdown about how many signings they've made

It was newsworthy last year. But, Chelsea and Forest have ensured it is probably never newsworthy again, nothing new to see here...Also, it's funny how Burnley have signed 20 (I think) players and spent nearly £150m this transfer window, but no one seems to be having a meltdown about how many signings they've made

Looks like some good business for Spurs if they get Johnson and Gallagher.
With the way the manager has them going they could easily finish above Chelsea and Man United and sneak a Europa spot

I guess, like Forest last season, getting promoted and it’s £170m windfall means they can splash the cash without worrying.

Easily? It is funny how fans can make such claims after 3 games in the season. Sure, Man Utd have been dodgy (although still more points than we had this time last year
), but I think Chelsea haven't looked too bad at all. I think a few more games need to be played to truly see how they all stack up against each other

I hope to christ, for his sake, he's not going to be made to play where Kane played. They'll be sorely disappointed if so...unless Big Ange somehow re-moulds him into a Kane type striker. But he's not big enough really.

I wonder what the logic is in Brentford signing Maupay? Everton fans will be devastated, where will they get their goals from now......
Maupay looking likely to go to Brentford on loan. Gets his wages off the books, frees up a car parking space at the training ground 
. It really hasn't worked for him, hope it does at Brentford. I don't wish him ill.

But it's either that or the bench as an impact sub?

Hmmmm, I reckon you'd be irked if he scored 40 goals for Brentford this season though..... (I'm including goals in training, obviously)Maupay looking likely to go to Brentford on loan. Gets his wages off the books, frees up a car parking space at the training ground
We needed a striker, we got Maupay. That isn't him. I guess Brentford will use him in his correct position without the pressure of needing goals from him straight away. He can be the provider again, chipping in occasionally.
He will have plenty of offers to give him a lift
You reckon he even scores in training?

I was assuming he'd sometimes be the last to leave, and therefore be able to shoot into an empty net.
