Can see a host of bids coming in for Tim Krul after last night. Maybe wouldn't surprise me if he ended up at Manchester United to be honest.

If a club sign Tim krul based on last night the manager deserves to be sacked immediately.

Much?? He'll be a excellent signing wherever he goes.

£32 million according to sources! Barcelona want to wrap up Suarez first, that's why there has been a delay on it.

Brilliant! :pac:

Manuel certainly likes sticking with his old players. Great buy for City.

Arsenal look to be getting Sanchez and Man Utd are reportedly chasing Vidal. I believe the former, not so sure about the latter. Great coup for Utd if they got him though. Fantastic acquisition for Arsenal!

Majority of English/Chilean/Spanish reports: Barcelona have accepted a £32m (€41m) fee from Arsenal for Liverpool targer Alexis Sanchez

RE: Caballero to City.

£6m-£10m for a backup keeper? :eek: I know it's Manchester City who are flush with money, but will he be sitting on the bench after spending that much on him?

Turtwig

Suspect he'll probably be the FA Cup or equiv keeper and Joe will be No 1 for the main comptetions.

Sanchez is a great buy, top quality player. It should mean Ozil moving back behind the striker as well, we should see the best of him back in his favourite position.

I have to say other than FM I've never heard of or seen Lazar play a game, 20-25 million seems a lot. If that's true it looks like Liverpool's spending will be at about 60 million and still haven't improved on the defence and little improvement in midfield. A LB, CB, RB and DM still needed IMO.

Emre can was signed for the DM position, can also cover LB. Agreed that we really need another RB as johnson seems to be going backwards every season.

Disappointing to find out about that as he is a very talented keeper, though given Hart's ability, good ol Willy might see himself as City's No.1 rather soon.

Emre Can's best position is DM.

I'd say Liverpool will almost certainly buy a CB and LB. Not linked with any RB's though so looks like they will stick with Johnson/Flanagan.

Thought that one was very clearly ruled out by Bender himself earlier in the summer?

Yep, I'd say Pelligrini is waiting for Hart to make a mistake so he can drop him.

Ashley Cole signs for Roma.

Excellent move for both parties IMO, probably the best move he could have gotten.

He still has a lot to offer and is essentially coming off a semi-break of one season which, given his age, might prove to be more of a help than a hindrance. He has never really had any issues with playing near 50 games a season over his career either.

This way he gets to move to a team in the Champions League who will be hoping to challenge for the league title and Roma get an improvement at the LB position.

I've got to admit, if I was him I'd be off to America :pac:

MagicIRL

Surprised Cole didn't end up over in the MLS myself.

Nuri Sahin

Thought he'd end up in the MLS myself, but a good move for him and Roma with Dodo being injury prone.

He did rule out a move but in football these days means nothing. Arsenal are being linked with Khedira, Schneirdlin and Bender it's well known Wenger is looking for a DM so could be papers throwing **** around and seeing what sticks or could be some truth to it given we have bid for him before.

Better to be injury prone than extinct I suppose

We laugh at the MLS and yet it's producing enough talent to get the national team to the Last 16 of the World Cup.

Even the Premier League can't boast that (for England)

KERSPLAT!

He's still good enough for the top level with all due respect to the MLS.
