First topic message reminder :

Swansea agree deal for Fernando Llorente. Pretty so-so nowadays

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 1:09 pm

Apparently Sakho has now told Liverpool he won't leave on loan, that'll he stay at Liverpool.

Taking on Klopp a brave move.

That's about as likely as me flying to the moon.

They'll need someone to keep the physio in a job now Wilshire is on his way out.

Wilshere's move to Roma nearly done apparently. Franco Baldini, ex-England assistant manager, was the major man pushing for the move.

Good to see English players moving abroad to be honest.

One wonders if it scuppers his England chances as once players are out of the PL they tend to get forgotten. Who was the last English player who played abroad who regularly kept his England spot?

David Beckham and Michael Owen.

Think that all goes back to Steve McManaman and the fact that most other players who have gone abroad wouldn't have been picked anyway.

I expect if Hart and Wilshere are playing consistently and well for Roma and Torino they'll be picked. Considering Allardyce wants to open up the English side to actual foreigners, don't think English players going abroad is going to harm them.

Wilshere will have a tough time getting in the Roma midfield, that is their strength. The move doesn't make much sense except going to the most glamorous of the clubs interested.

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 2:04 pm

Iorfa to WHU

by Geordie Wed 31 Aug 2016, 2:15 pm

So Atsu confirmed on a season loan, with option to buy.

Has Sissoko joined ~~Arsenal~~....sorry Spurs / Chealsea yet.

I wonder if he joins either of them he will spend the next few seasons begging Arsenal to come buy him!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:05 pm

Looks like Arbeloa to West Ham

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:13 pm

As back up don't see that as a bad deal. Can't believe how little Liverpool let him go for. Always been underrated for me, not particularly flashy but very solid.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:20 pm

In the much of a muchness column of back-up right backs he is as interesting to me as Debuchy or Richards. I would rather Iorfa

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:28 pm

Yann M'Vila may be moving back to Sunderland as well.

by Fernando Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:33 pm

Sakho to rejoin PSG on loan if Sideshow Bob Returns to Chelsea.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:37 pm

Allan Nyom signing for WBA. Apparently they too have joined the race for Sissoko. "Race" as much as the London Marathon is a race when c*nts wear chicken costumes

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:38 pm

Slimani has left the Algeria national team camp to finalise move to Leicester.

Sunderland buy NDick for a record fee

by Hammersmith harrier Wed 31 Aug 2016, 3:59 pm

Pretty hectic deadline day, quite boring when you sign everyone early.

by Geordie Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:08 pm

Neil de Jong off to Galatasary...well that's why Cheick Tiotes move there has fallen through.

by Fernando Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:11 pm

Robson-Kanu having WBA medical. Sad times if that's the Berahino replacement.

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:19 pm

Doubt Saido is leaving, now Stoke have sealed Bony

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:20 pm

Arsenal have refused to do business with Roma, no idea why perhaps they're being low-balled? So now Wilshere is on his way to Bournemouth.

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:21 pm

Adama Traore has joined Middlesbrough as they try and follow in Stoke's footsteps and become a Barcelona cast-off club.

by Fernando Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:22 pm

It's because Roma were d*cks when we tried to sign Manolas instead of Mustafi and apparently their officials weren't exactly the most pleasant people to do business with.

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:36 pm

Norwich are going to sign Jerome Sinclair on loan.

Stoke are signing Bruno Martins Indi on loan. Philipp Wolscheid has left.

Moussa Sissoko may end up staying after all, Newcastle won't budge on their £30 million valuation and Benitez would like to actually use him this season.

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:43 pm

Reintegration back into the side won't be difficult. Fans are thickle, few boos for a couple of weeks, but once he starts dominating Championship matches & helps us towards the primary objective, then most will be forgotten. We don't need the money & seeing as Spurs have £26m in the bank from the sales of Mason & Chadli, we were hardly going to drop the price.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:52 pm

You copy-pasted that and still got it wrong, Crimes.

Everton apparently interested in Valencia Laugh

Taken directly from Wolfsburg Twitter so don't blame me!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:57 pm

Marcos Alonso to Chelsea done, apparently. Luiz in London for a medical.

Suggested that it'll move Azpilicueta (finally) to his natural position, and Ivanovic as a spare defender. Ivanovic in central defence wouldnt make me happy.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 4:58 pm

Wilshere travelling to Bournemouth to complete deal for season long loan. Of all the clubs in for him, Roma were best, but Bournemouth suit him most domestically.

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:03 pm

Everton are in talks with Newcastle to sign Moussa Sissoko

Hopefully they don't mess around, offer the £30m & end this saga.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:05 pm

Eliaquim Mangala has signed for Valencia on a season-long loan from Man City.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:11 pm

Deals to come that look likely to be happening:

Moussa Sissoko to Everton
David Luiz to Chelsea
Allan Nyom to WBA
Alvaro Arbeloa to West Ham
Hal Robson-Kanu to WBA
Wilshere to Bournemouth
Enner Valencia to Swansea or Everton

Further:

Kamil Grosicki to Burnley

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:18 pm

Manchester City paid £42m for Mangala (agent Jorge Mendes) in 2014. Gone on loan to Valencia (club agent: Mendes).

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:37 pm

Jerome Sinclair on loan

F*ck off Norwich

by Hammersmith harrier Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:42 pm

I don't understand Chelsea signing Alonso unless he's improved ten fold as last time I saw him he was garbage.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 5:48 pm

Hes meant to have improved a lot.

Poor signing that, didn't look good enough at any point for Liverpool, no idea what he's even supposed to be good at.

As far as i'm aware he has improved but i think the key thing about him is that he can play LB or LM and i think he can even play CB too if needed.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 6:19 pm

Tottenham finally sign Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.

Literally the most Norwich signing ever - chase a marquee striker all summer - end up with a forest reject and a youngster on loan who couldn't get into Watford reserves

The same every single bloomin window - the recruitment team here stinks

Presumably Conte has seen a decent amount of him with the Serie A connection, so hopefully his judgement is a good one...

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 7:55 pm

Demichelis, Mangala & Denayer possibly loaned out tonight. No real guarantee of Kompany being fit, which leaves Pep with Stones & Otamendi at CB. That's short

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 7:59 pm

Demichelis has already gone.

Think he'll end up playing Fernandinho at centre back at some point this season and has already shown he's happy to play Kolarov there, bet Sagna will be in his thoughts as well.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:03 pm

Jack Wilshere has passed a medical

It feels like that is news itself.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:05 pm

Deal agreed between Everton and Newcastle for Sissoko.

Club record deal for Moussa Sissoko. They are also signing Enner Valencia. What a time to be alive

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:10 pm

Club record deal for Sissoko. More mugs from Merseyside

by **Crimey** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:12 pm

Balotelli leaves permanently. Yay! Doubt we'll hear much about him, Nice will be hoping they can turn him around like they did with Ben Arfa, I don't think it will happen.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:14 pm

Lee Clayton ‏@LeeClayton_ 51m51 minutes ago
West Brom and Sakho *could* be back on #WHUFC , although the person who told also said 'if' six times after that. It's an 'if' story.

I think he's in for a rude awakening if he thinks the tactics that worked in Spain are going to work over here, it's asking for trouble playing defensively poor full backs at centre back.

by Guest Wed 31 Aug 2016, 8:21 pm

Signed Sissoko for £1.5m. Sold for £30m. That's £55m from those mugs on Merseyside this summer. Laugh
