'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Chadli and Janssen would work quite well together I'd have thought?

You're right

Kane out chadli in

Need it be said that at half a Kyle walker chadli would be a steal

Llorente would be an excellent signing but I can see Swansea failing to sign a replacement in time and the deal falling through.

Feels insane that they're even considering selling the player who could be the difference between survival or not.

Leicester have bid £20m for Callum Chambers but Arsenal want £28m.

Surely they've got to buy some new defenders?

xp Swansea are in for a return of Bony, no?

Making change is why we're here; we are engaging with @SpursOfficial re: signing @Serge_aurier https://t.co/c9mDgrTzSt #TogetherTHFC #COYS

ok LBI, Jürgen Locadia, tell me what you know

keysey with some much needed perspective

So the window 'slams shut' today. Count how many times you hear that said. Truth is it simply 'closes'.

Phew thanks keysey m8

Keys is a noted campaigner for limpid prose

Striker, strong lad, has been abused as a winger last season and complained about it, gets to be first striker this season, but can he resist the howling from the West Midlands?

Honestly, he still has it all to prove, but he's a decent prospect. Cannot imagine PSV selling him after making him important for the first time (and seeing the absolutely dreadful transfer window we're having), but there you go.

xp2NV

feel like the model Nuno is searching for is "target man who can play a bit" so we'll see

He fits the job description tbh.

Swansea confirm Renato sanches

zappacosta to chelsea too apparently

WOLVES CLOSE TO £10M DEAL

Sky Sources have told us that Wolverhampton Wanderers are close to completing a £10m deal for PSV’s Jurgen Locadia.

Gahhh

City offer £60m for Sanchez, Arsenal offer £92m for Lemar.

I have no idea what value is anymore

Uh that is Alexis Sanchez and not davinson right

Got to fucking love Arsenal for dicking around in false parsimony for months and then sticking £92m down for one player.

Lemar reportedly turning the move down is the cherry on the cake.

feel bad for my sweet alexis stuck at the no hoper gunners as his prime slips away from him. football's greatest tragedy imo

Liverpool signing him and selling Coutinho would be the cherry on the cherry!

xp

Now now, Jim, Wolves stealing our sole half decent striker, that's a real tragedy.

nothing's gone thru yet *insert nail-biting emoji here*

cos we've just had a 15m bid for Afobe turned down allegedly

Hearing from Dutch sources that Locadia has agreed terms, so it's only down to a medical and listing his tattoos (which could take a while, admittedly)

presumably the medical not a foregone conclusion given his previous injury

That's true. He's been fit as a fiddle since pre-season, but I don't know what it's like under the hood obv

Jesus.

That's

That's a fucking thorough physical

You bit it you bought it

BreakingSanchez deal in jeopardy

David Ornstein

BBC Sport

Manchester City's bid to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez looks to be over.

It is understood that a conditional agreement was reached in principle between City and Arsenal for Sanchez to move to the Etihad Stadium.

The fee was £55m, plus £5m in add-ons.

But it depended on Arsenal first securing a replacement to fill the gap left by the 28-year-old.

Their target was Monaco winger Thomas Lemar and an agreement was reportedly reached between the clubs for a fee in the region of £90m.

However, it is thought that the 21-year-old France international decided against the move.

City are currently not prepared to resurrect the deal by offering a player in exchange or more money for a straight cash deal.

Barring a remarkable last-minute turn of events Sanchez, who wanted to joint City to be reunited with his former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, will stay at Arsenal.

Lemar snubs Arsenal.

And PSG and Monaco found a way around FFP, Mbappé to PSG.

Locadia deal off?!

Locadia deal off.

Sakho to palace looks done

;_;

we shd just keeping throwing bundles on the pile until you give in

it's a surreal feeling to be able to even half think like that on deadline day

Acc to Sky our manager blew it off during the medical. That will go down well with Locadia, surely.

xp Yes please! :D

Yeah that's a new one for you I'm sure. xp

Holland are being absolutely demolished by France rn. It's a miracle it's still only 1-0.

Man, Arsenal have really fucked themselves here

Splendid stuff

And Barkley has allegedly turned down a move to Chelsea

Still hope he prices himself out of a move to Spurs but it's looking ominous.

God bless Axel Witsel. Just got himself sent off in the first half while five nil up against Gibraltar.
