Unless Man U win the league expect lots of backlash on Pogba.
89M for 6 goals and 7 assists or something like it is gonna be a big talking point.

Not sure I understand the move for Stonesy. Sure he's getting more wages, but he better be ready to compete with Mangala and to a lesser extent, Kompany, for PT. Or do I have it backwards, and Mangala's agent should start looking for greener pastures.Stones to City is finally complete.
Perhaps more than any other quality, Guardiola wants CBs comfortable on the ball. Stones has his warts as a defender, but he is certainly a very good passer. Mangala is big and fast but is pretty terrible on the ball and probably has very little future with GuardiolaNot sure I understand the move for Stonesy.

Mangala wasn't named to City's squad for the Champions League match next week, so I think he's done at City (same with Bony and Nasri)Not sure I understand the move for Stonesy.

I was just going to come in here to post this. Everton netted about 40m on the Stones deal (minus fees paid to Barnsley). Then they spend all of it in about 2 hours on Ashley Williams (sure, whatever) and Bolasie (uhhhhhh). WTF indeed.Rumors that Everton will pay £30m for Bolasie. Wtf?
His agent is Jorge Mendes, so the rumors of moving to Valencia have some logic behind them. The fun of Mendes is seeing where he has his players end up.Mangala is almost certainly done at City. Can't play with the ball at his feet and just isn't going to work in this system. He'd be a great addition for a team that wants to defend deep and clear crosses but he was left behind for the Arsenal friendly and not named in the CL squad.
Looks like this is finally happening. The three papers in Portugal are saying it's 40 with escalators that go to 50. He would be the highest transfer for a domestic player from Portugal.Well, I may have been [utterly and completely] wrong about my assessment of J. Mario - Inter just ponied up 50M Euros to get him in from Portugal.

Reminds me of Carroll. Never wanted to sell him but Liverpool was flush with cash made a silly offer and everyone went no no.... wait how much?? OK cool sure.I just posted in the Palace echo chamber about Palace (rightly) rejecting an offer of £18mm for Bolasie.
Yannick Bolasie is my favorite player on my favorite team. I would be thrilled if they sold him for £30m.
Edit: even more happy when I consider he'll basically miss all of January at the ACON.
Hyndman isn't injured as frequently as ol' Jack, but so far in his career he's had an unfortunate talent for picking those injuries up at precisely the wrong times to stop potential club breakthroughs.Jack Wilshere seems to lining up a loan to Bournemouth today. Tough break for our boy Emerson Hyndman, but that's life in the top flight. Now if Wilshere were to get injured, there may be an opening...
A Liverpool fan laughing at another club's defensive signings is surreal. Especially when that signing would walk right into LFC's starting lineup.Haha!
That´s the same question his mother asked his dad, when little David was 14:Could Luiz be better in a back 3 than back 4? He would know he'd have to stay back more, and he's generally good with the ball at his feet.
I think that if you have that kind of money and come out of it with 2 guys who have been huge failures since moving to the Premier League and one wildly inconsistent guy who evens out to mediocre you have to be disappointed. I mean, I mean West Ham got 2 better wingers for a combined 20M. Boufal at Southampton, Townsend to CP, Pereyra to Watford, Chadli at West Brom, I'd probably rather have Jordan Ibe at his price than these guys at theirs.You think so? I think they're kind of light in those areas and they'll be better with them. Koeman can manage I think those are pretty good moves. I think Everton's current core had sort of peaked and could use the infusion
Cheeky! It's not downtown Aleppo, you know?...and having to go to Liverpool are negatives, but still.
Not only did Sissoko flatly turn down Everton by walking away from the club jet, he did one better and ACTUALLY TURNED OFF HIS PHONE.
Holy moly. Set aside for a second whether you think this is a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur or not, or whether you think he’s worth the money. This is near Willian-levels of gazumping. He actually ghosted an entire football club so he could sign with Tottenham.
Everton had an offer accepted, but withdrew their interest after failing to agree personal terms, allowing Spurs to secure the 27-year-old's signature.
