Italian press say a big swap deal is being discussed between AC Milan and Juventus for Bonucci, Higuain, Benatia, Pjaca & Caldara, plus some money.

Just can't imagine anything like that happening here

In June Hoop Blah I've just read this morning that Harry Maguire has gone to Leicester for £17m!! That's pretty mental even if it is £12m upfront with the rest in add-ons.


Looking back at that now, I'd have to say £17m is looking like a pretty good deal and I wouldn't be surprised if they make a a very healthy profit on him at some point.


£65m bids are now coming in for him if the papers are to be believed!

Leeds already signed Barry Douglas, Vydra in tomorrow and Hugil in on loan.

Well and truly going for it.

Going for what? Bankruptcy?

I'll give it 10 games before the manager complains the players can't play his system and he'll be gone by Christmas and we can all play Leeds Next Manager Bingo again.

What's going on with Douglas? I thought he was a mainstay of Wolves' team last year, and got a Scotland call-up?

I am absolutely staggered that spending £10M on a centre forward in his mid 20's from Preston who has only scored 37 league goals in his entire career so far did not work out so well for West Ham

So their only signings so far are the Jorginho, who Sarri brought with him, and Rob Green.

Pablo Moreno moves from Barcelona to Juventus.

He is a 16 year old centre forward who is yet to play for the first team but plays for the Spanish national youth teams. He was reportedly seen as the biggest star in Barca's youth team and very much being lined up as 'the next Messi' after scoring a silly amount of goals for the under 16's

Seems to be seen as a bit of a story in Spain.

Have to give Fulham some credit, they've gone for it. And they've spent wisely too. Mitrovic having a medical ahead of completing a permanent move from Newcastle, and a deal for Swansea's Alfie Mawson for £20m in the works too. Add Schurrle and Seri and some decent squad players in Le Marchand and Fabri and that's a good summer.

Hate to say it but they have had a really good window. Good manager too, can see them surprising a few.

Sounds like it is going ahead. Reports that Higuain's part will involve a loan first with a €20M fee for that and then an option to buy later for a further €35M.

Don't think I have ever seen Higuain have a decent game before.

His transfer to Juventus always felt an odd one as they didn't need him at all, it was purely about weakening their nearest rival.

He was sensational at Napoli and broke the Italian goalscoring record, but Juve were almost guaranteed the league already, they paid a transfer record just to keep Napoli away from challenging them.
