    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    There's no point swapping Tanguy for a Kessie who only has a year on his contract or an Aouar who is available for €25m. There's less risk in keeping him for the year, trying to get a tune out of him again (he was pretty good for a while under Mourinho) and then re-evaluating the situation next...

    Harry Kane

    City's goal is to win everything, with the Champions League the being the holy grail. They lost the final, without scoring a goal, against a Chelsea side that has just spent £100m on a striker to improve their already amazing team. You have to say that both Chelsea and United, who have also...

    Gedson Fernandes

    Benfica are the club that let players such as Bernardo Silva, Cancelo, Jiminez and Jovic leave for small fees because they didn't work out. How people are writing this kid off at a young age is baffling me!

    Zaha

    So with palace potentially interested in 3 of our players, the swap suddenly seems a doable deal. I'd assume the 3 are VW & SA, but unsure on the third - poss GKN? The system would change to the 433 similar to Liverpool's, which I feel Poch wants. Zaha being HG helps massively and allows us to...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    I imagine CE and his representatives were certain RM would be in for him. ZZ doesn't fancy him, prefers Pogba and it leaves us with a player who doesn't really want to be here and a potential scare of leaving on a free next season. I feel that the hierarchy at Spurs are trying to force him out...

    Player Paulo Dybala

    I just can't see Dybala in the famous lilywhite this season. There's absolutely no way we'd pay €80m after already going big on Ndombele and possibly Lo Celso. It all comes down to whether Juventus would be interested in Eriksen and/or Rose in a swap deal. I just can't see Eriksen staying or...

    Player Watch: Fernando Llorente

    Kane only got a chance when Adebayor & Soldado were injured. As much as I'm grateful for Llorente's input last season, I feel it is time for him to move on to allow Parrott some game time (Carabao cup etc). TP looks like he can be a player and giving him minutes could develop us another star...

    Dani Ceballos signs for Arsenal

    I understand we want the loan with option to buy at a set price because if they have a great season it'll be a bargain (see Lo Celso at Betis) but hear me out here - if he does well, he'll go back to Madrid who are arguably the biggest club in the world and star for them. We can then potentially...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    We need to get the most out of the deal, but at the same time make the deal more viable to Real than buying Pogba. Levy should tell them he'd accept €50m and Ceballos on the loan with option to buy deal. Gives us the majority of funds to get Lo Celso over the line, Ceballos becomes risk free and...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    Spanish outlet AS are reporting Betis being close to signing Borja Iglesias for €28m. I don't know much about their owner, but a team finishing 10th spending that much on a player smells like they're coming in to some money.

    Dani Ceballos signs for Arsenal

    I hate the arguement that he's too small/slight for the Prem. Last season the best CM in the league was Bernardo Silva - 5"8 and hardly muscular. He's clever and gets stuck in which is all we'd expect from Ceballos.

    Max Aarons

    The same West Brom that didn't play Serge Gnabry (on loan from Arsenal) who just won player of the season at Bayern. Probably doing it to be salty at him not signing a new contract.

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    Lyon look to have the replacements in and Monday is the beginning of the new tax year. Things are finally falling in to place, so here's hoping Ndombele cuts his holiday short this weekend to be announced on Monday.

    William Saliba signs for Arsenal

    As the other guy said, we've got more pressing issues this summer (RB & Eriksen competition) and we're pretty strong in the CB position, especially with Toby suggesting he'll stay another season.

    William Saliba signs for Arsenal

    They're only willing to sell him this summer if he's loaned back to them next season. Us paying £30m to do that? Absolutely no chance.
