    Looks like West Ham have got both Harry Maguire and James Ward Prowse for around 30m each

    Decent enough signings you'd think to consolidate their mid table mediocrity status

    Hope they both do well, Maguire getting some form and confidence back would help England, and I just like Ward Prowse.

    I think the West Ham fans would snap your hand off for mid-table mediocrity right now tbh... without those kinds of signings they'll definitely be in a relegation fight.

    Paqueta to Man City won't help their cause

    I am absolutely here for Maguire scoring against United at Old Trafford

    Bournemouth look set to sign Alex Scott from Bristol City which could be a cracking signing.

    Surely no one would pay 100m for Kane ? 
    Wasn't far off.

    I missed that Sander Berge has gone from Sheff Utd to Burnley.

    They've lost their top scorer and POTY, Iliman Ndiaye, too.  Can't see them or Luton staying up.

    At the moment Sheffield United look even weaker than Luton. They've also lost the Man City loanees that starred for them last season.

    Luton haven't lost anyone, and at least have their team spirit and the home advantage of having a sh*thole ground!

    Fairly sure teams like them right now are happy to yo-yo between the leagues, not spending too much and pocketing profits from it

    That kid is going to be absolute star.  Massive Spurs fan too.  Sounds like we were interested at the right price but not at £20m.

    You'll buy him from Bournemouth next summer for £45m

    Madness really as 20m these days is nothing and if he turns out as good as people say he is going to be, that'd look a bargain in 2-3 years time.

    Reminds me of when Levy stalled over buying Grealish for less than 10m when Villa were in the championship and skint.

    Chelsea have messed around for weeks with their bids for Caicedo. Brighton said all along they wanted 100m but Chelsea bid 70, 75, then 80.

    Brighton then announced that they would sell Caicedo to the highest bidder by the end of last night. Chelsea finally bid the 100m that Brighton wanted................and Liverpool came in and bid 110m!!

    Liverpool bid 110m for Caicedo

    Man City bid 88m for Paqueta


    Later than usual but the window’s gone mad

    £111m for Caicedo feels like a bit of a panic move from a Liverpool side that is worried about their midfield options. Spent the whole of that Carabao Cup game in Dobson's back pocket.

    Yeah £20m is good work from Bristol City and he's not going to be fit straight away but I could see him with full international caps within 18 months. Special talent and I can understand Lopertegui leaving Wolves if he was their main target all summer and they get beaten to him by Bournemouth.

    Football went mad years ago but some of the fees this window are ridiculous. Chelsea seemed to start it all last season paying overinflated fees and it's just carried on. Covid seemingly never impacted finances on any of these clubs 

    Wish Charlton could have some of this money floating around!

    Can see Neymar coming to the prem by the end of the window, aparently wants out and would be relatively cheap going by the above fees!

    Who will Liverpool be replacing Klopp with? 

    https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-klopps-comments-about-paul-pogbas-89-million-transfer-to-man-united-20180717

    If you bring one player in for £100m and he gets injured, then it all goes through the chimney. The day that this is football, I'm not in a job anymore, because the game is about playing together.

    Exactly.  Thats exactly the kind of profile of player that we need to take a punt on, same with Eze when he was at QPR.
    Think we're going to regret missing out on him.

    Don't get being prepared to do £110m for Caicedo but not do the business earlier in the summer for Bellingham

    Presumably didn't foresee getting in the money for Henderson, Fabinho (who's looking likely to go) and the others off the payroll.
    Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course.

    I think the problem with Bellingham is that Liverpool knew he wanted to go to Madrid and an agreement was already in place between player and club

    What you have to remember though is how much Pep improves players. Paqueta is a solid player and a regular for Brazil and i think if you stick him in the City side he'll suddenly look 15-20% better than he has at West ham.

    Caicedo has apparently rejected Liverpool and told them he is only interested in joining Chelsea.

    If Kane decides he doesn’t wanna go Bayern, he can just move to united next season on a free. Levy would rather the £100m I bet…
    Nope

    As I said at the time. Those who loled have a look at yourself.
