    Good teams don't do exciting/chaotic transfer. They just buy a particular choice player every now and then. Better we entertain on the pitch, than in our HR processes

    Poch is just trimming the squad to his preferred 22 + kids. Future windows will probably be more 1 out, 1 in; or 1 out, youth promoted. But we won't have to shift anything like the 13-15 we have this summer again. I guess that's the consequence of having 4 very different managers in 3 years...

    United trolling us for two-fingering them over Lloris and Kane? Whatever you say about City, they tend to behave with a degree of dignity.

    Fazio being involved in the Berahino deal would complicate it?

    Remember Bentaleb, Mason, Pritchard, Alli, Winks and Onomah have all come through since Carroll was the great white hope 3-4 years ago. It's a really good thing that he's being eclipsed by better younger homegrown players. That's how the production line is meant to work.

    I'm really liking this. With 5 more looking like leaving (Ade, Soldado, Lennon, Fazio and Carroll), it really does look like Poch is going for a Mourinho-style tight 22 man squad. For me I think it's time to for Carroll to move on (he's not young anymore) and us to give Winks and Onomah a...

    No - that was Grant Hall. Dominic Ball is still with the U21s, but is more a DM.

    Yes - I think the plan might have been to give Wimmer an EPL loan next season and keep Fazio as one of the 4. But perhaps Wimmer has impressed sufficiently in pre-season? Either that, or while the club would like to keep him, Fazio is (admirably) seeking a move in search of football?

    I'm not sure we'll get more than £8m for him. Though to be fair he is more than twice the player £4m Kaboul is

    Fazio and Stambouli were signed because Dawson and Sandro were ruined (by age and injury respectively). We brought them in at no net cost, and now we have upgraded to Alder and TBC, we can move them on.

    I like Fazio - he's a solid defender and a good organiser But 5 senior CBs is excessive. More cash towards the Nigel/Berahino/Bender fund

    I imagine we want 4 players - Kane, Chadli, Nigel and Berahino for 2 spots - CF and LWF. You'd imagine Nigel would be 4th in that pecking order. So effectively he'll be our forward equivalent of Wimmer.

    I'm pretty sure Nigel will be in addition to Berahino, not instead of him. Remember they will be replacing all 3 of Ade, Soldado and Lennon

    A few weeks ago we were arguing because we wanted £8m and Everton only wanted to pay £6m!

    Yeah - Martial and Ings were presumably higher up the list at the start of the summer, as we moved for them first? Berahino only came into the picture after he sacked his agent.

    Not chasing flimsy spursy step-over kings (Yarmolenko, Shaqiri), rather going for well-scouted resilient players who will be quietly effective for us?
