      Agree with that Taxi. Could and probably should have been a better window for Liverpool but they’ve still managed to strengthen the squad and hold onto their star player. There’s some frightening pace in that team now

        Bit of an anti-climax that deadline day, as usual. Arsenal are kidding nobody. You have 3 months to get a big deal done but you leave it until it’s far too late and bid Β£90mil Lemar.

        What’s going on at Chelsea? Drinkwater is not good enough for them. Llorente, Ox, Barkley all reject moves to them. Something’s not right there. All of them had chances to move to the capital, to the champions and undoubtedly would have got a big pay rise. 999 what’s the view among Chelsea fans?

        Spurs look to have had a decent deadline day but you just have to wonder how wise it was to leave all those deals to the last day, as Paxton suggested. They could have had those deals wrapped up weeks ago and gone into the season with a settled squad.

          I think he’ll be at City this time next year anyway Jim so they’ve probably saved themselves a lot of money. I was half expecting another attempt at Johnny Evans from City before the end of the window

            I think he’s better than Barkley Banjo! Not seen loads of him but he was highly rated before he went to Barca

              999 looking forward to seeing Sanches in action. Gives the big clubs a chance to see if he has what it takes in the PL too. Though, a decent season there and Bayern will either slap a huge fee on him or have him back in their squad.

              Jack Wilshere targeted by Birmingham City. What a fall from grace for the lad who was once ripped as England’s great hope and the one to build a team around. I’m amazed nobody in the PL will take a chance on him.

              There was talk of a last minute Willian to Utd deal being on the cards, dependant on Mahrez to Chelsea. Really can’t see Chelsea selling Utd another player!

                  Llorente to Spurs was a bit of a surprise to me. It makes sense though. They’ve needed decent backup for Kane for a while and Llorente will provide that.

                  I still can’t get my head around the Mbappe deal. I think this summer signals a massive change in the order of the traditional food chain. Real have, for the first time in a long time, been unable/unwilling to sign a Galactico. Ronaldo is fantastic for them but, previously, they’d be in for the top youngsters on the market to ensure there was an heir to the star player’s throne. Mbappe, Neymar, Hazard, Dybala, Jesus, Pogba, Kane, Alli etc would have all been on their radar.

                  Barca lose one of their best players and seem unable to get hold of Coutinho and end up signing a player who is still very early in his development, albeit he looks like a great prospect.

                  Meanwhile, PSG sign probably the 2 most marketable players aside from Ronaldo and Messi with no sign of either of the Spanish sides even being in contention.

                  With the rise of Serie A and the masses of money floating around the PL and now the French League, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a period of decline for La Liga.

                    I think he’ll be decent Jim, not great but decent. Liverpool need depth in their squad and he’s not a bad player. Liverpool in recent seasons often struggled as soon as they got a couple of injuries or the likes of Mane went away to Afcon. Unlike the Manchester clubs, Liverpool just don’t have that squad depth and I think Ox could be a player who can help address that with his versatility

                      I think he’ll be a decent signing for Pool but Β£40mil is an awful lot for someone who has really struggled to live up to the early promise he showed. Another ex Southampton player then for them!

                          999, yeah I noticed the Mbappe loan thing. Still, all that says to me is that FFP is easily bypassed. Loaning a player who is probably valued at 200 mill EUR in today’s market is just madness!

                            I do remember those discussions Jim! I’d be all for some kind of cap but it’s probably unlikely to happen any time soon. FFP seemingly has far too many loopholes,rendering it worthless imo

                              Ox now seemingly doesn’t want the Chelsea move and prefers Liverpool deal. Bit surprised by that. Chelsea move means he gets to stay in London and if the reported Β£200k a week is even in the right ball park, he’s unlikely to get anywhere near that at Liverpool. On the other hand, fair play to him if the preference is based on wanting more playing time which he’ll surely get at Pool

                                Evening Jim,

                                It’s basically a rating system. I think it’s as simple as the number of points refer to how many of your posts have been voted up. The little avatars at the bottom of some posts means someone has voted up (liked) a post.

                                P.S Feel free to spread the word amongst any fellow City fans. It’s all too friendly on here at the moment. We need a few fiery debates going! FFP anyone? ?

                                  PSG aren’t messing about are they? All these record tv deals and revenues in the Prem and it’s a team from the French League blowing everyone else out of the water. If there was any doubt before, surely Mbappe to PSG would all but confirm the death of FFP?

                                      Yeah I really can’t imagine City swapping Aguero for a player they can get for free in 12 months.

                                      I just saw on twitter that the Ox is set to be Chelsea’s highest earner on Β£200k+!I thought he was going there to warm the bench and help them fill the homegrown quota. He’s a decent player but I’m not surprised Arsenal are happy to let him go if he’s after that much money. He’s not that good. Surely just paper talk. 999,any idea?

                                          The North Korean keeper Banjo. That “slip” was terrible!

                                          Interesting…

                                          I reckon that’s a decent deal for a player who will leave on a free in a year
