Same as Arsenal we only have Richardson (or whatever our young RB is called) while Sagna is recovering from his broken leg

Jenkinson?

Kaboul can play Right back as well

That's the one - minds a bit frazzled this morning and I've been concentrating more on the Euro players and rugby...

Ramires?

Hardly a midfield destroyer. He was playing as a winger at the end of the season.

Cannot see Modric going to Chelsea. Or do UEFA's fair play rules not apply to Chelsea?

You'd be stifling Ramires forward ability that was key to Chelsea's Cl run.

Chelsea earned 100m from winning the CL TSC

Danny Guthrie signs for Reading on a free

Ben Foster signs for WBA

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC
City have signed Scottish international and former Rangers defender Steven Whittaker on a 4-year deal subject to international clearance

Bendtner on his way to Schalke by the looks of things

Again, this page is for big signings only Olly

Ezequiel Lavezzi joins PSG for £21m, maybe not Premier League but this is a big transfer for such a talented player who gets forgotten about because of Cavani at club level and Messi, Tevez, Aguero & Higuian at International level.

Going to be interesting to see what group PSG get in the Champions League, like Man City were last season I expect them to be in Pot 4!

Well its done by CL success in recent history so yeah, pot 4 seems likely.

Lavezzi is lightning, 21m is a good fee for PSG. Was his contract up or something?

Also gives Napoli relief in resisting big money bids for Hamsik and Cavani.

Lavezzi > Hamsik IMO. Never seen Hamsik do anything.

Maicon to Chelsea?

Maicon is massively overrated.

Maicon? Can I ask the source? If true then that's a great signing, top quality right back.

Tsc, if united signed Hamsik tomorrow would you change your opinion to him being amazing? Like how Hazard was amazing but now will flop...

Maicon was at his peak about 4 or 5 years ago and was always linked with Real Madrid but nothing materialised. Past his best in my opinion and looking for a large pay day at Chelsea. Premier League is the most demanding league physically and he's now 30........

It's just rumours on Twitter, but from some decent sources including Sky Italia. Bale will properly have him again though. Can't see it happening though.

I have no opinion on Hamsik. I neither rate him or slate him, I've seen him do nothing ratable or slatable. And anyway, I want Hazard to flop. I support Utd, I don't go "I support United but oh, I want Eden Hazard to do well." No, if you're not with me you're against me.

TSC you some hardcore fan dude lol

And yeah, substantial talk of Maicon.

Unless hes cheap I don't see it. Wouldn't fit Chelsea youth movement one bit and would demand high wages.

Newcastle seem to have finally agreed a £5m deal for Twente's Douglas. Should be interesting to see if he can dislodge a Coloccini/S Taylor partnership next season.

Heard he was going to Monchengladbach though for €11m.

West Ham have resigned George McCartney

Lampard to LA Galaxy is an interesting story

No longer good enough, but I doubt he'd accept that.

Neither was Beckham but he went.

Beckhams always been worried about his public image tho. L.A appealed to him

What are they doing signing a Beatle?

Half time concert?

Everton have signed Daniel Pranjic on a free

Steven Naismith set to follow.

Naismith = Naichance. I feel sorry for Norwich who, in Whittaker, have signed one of the worst players I have ever seen.

El Ahmadi (yet me neither) has signed for Villa. Lambo's first proper signing.

Spurs are being strongly linked with CSKA & Russia player Alan Dzagoev

PSG are intrested in John Terry, supposedly lineing up an £8 million bid.

Steven Whittaker FTW!!!!!!

Also Norwich are being strongly linked with Barnsley midfield prodigy Jacob Butterfield

Nah Olly, you will see just how bad he is. Think Alan Hutton but much, much, much, much worse.

Can't see Dzagoev going to Spurs.

He can become our comedy player then

To replace Wilbraham?

Haven't heard anything more on Maicon. He'll go to Chelsea (maybe) because Real Madrid will be in for Piszczek.

Also rumoured in The Sun so means very little.

It would be a good signing though.

not just the Sun CL other papers reported as well.

but yeah agree would be a good signing.

Is there a worse player than Hutton?

Our worst signing in a long time.

GRant holt staying at norwich

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC
BREAKING NEWS: Grant Holt signs new 3 year deal and former Barnsley man Jacob Butterfield signs - more to follow on

Fabio signed for QPR on loan

Pretty sure I had that one a while back :P

We signed Ben Foster on a permanent deal a couple of days ago. Fantastic goalie though not really a big signing, apart from the fact he is tall.

Uve got the Giroud figure wrong btw was 9.6m
