    Why are Chelsea going for Danilo? Are they going to play the best right back in the league as a left back? Where does Alonso go then?

    They will continue to play Azpuliqueta in the back 3 with Danillo replacing Moses as the wingback id say

    He was good for Burnley not spectacular, Im sure Barcelona thought replacing Alves would be easy :pac:
    Playing well for a small club for means means very little Delph was a england starter at Villa for example and like Trippier isnt a starter at the bigger club

    Trippier was excellent for Burnley and if he was to be a regular for spurs he would offer far more going forward than walker. I'd expect atleast 10 assists from him he wouldn't be far off the best crosser of the ball in the league. He does lack the pace of walker which may hinder them a bit defensively though.

    "Juventus have reached agreement with #Arsenal over #Szczesny"

    Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that Milan are talking to Bayern about Renato Sanchez but said there isn't an agreement yet.

    So that's 10 players in already, talks for Renato and Milan's sporting director confirmed that they're trying to sign one of Belotti, Morata and Aubameyang.

    Approx €225 million spent already and more to come by the sounds of it.

    Fuppin hell.

    Kyle Walker is no Dani Alves and they did a **** job of trying to replace him as the tried to turn Sergi Roberto into a right back rather than just signing a high quality right back.

    Exactly they thought it would be easy to replace him as sure wing back is simple to replace :pac:
    Walker is still a distance ahead of Trippier

    He really wasnt excellent, its a word over used. A more apt description is he didnt look out of place in the league. We shall see if Im wrong this season, I dont think I am, the way you go on hes the best rb in the league :pac:

    I suppose Milans spending is a test of where ffp is and if it is really dead in the water. If they don't get a slap on the wrist for it its pretty much open season for every other club.

    Burnley had a very limited team that year for PL standards so trippiers best attributes his crossing and his passing didn't get utilised and capatilised on. The previous year in the championship he had 15 assists . At spurs that is different he gets the ball in good positions and they have players that can finish. Attacking wise I don't think there is a better rb for end product. As I mentioned his lack of pace can hinder him defensively. However if they go with 3 at the back the set up is ideal for him. He has 1 goal and 6 assists in 1000 minutes of PL football for spurs and last season he had 5 assists in 568 minutes.

    Thats a lot of new players, may take a while in getting them all to gel and settle in. Plus their manager might not want half of the players as it seems to be these players are being bought for him, rather than by him.

    But yeah, big expectations for Milan this year.

    Of course he is. The current standard in the league at right back is lower than the standard of Transformer movies.

    Back to actual transfer news.
    Kondogbia is said to be going on loan to Valencia from Inter. To say he was a massive flop there would be kind to him.

    Id tend to agree. Walker was called the best RB in the league by some, but I always felt Spurs looked more solid and dangerous with Tripps in the squad.

    Who else would get the nod if not him?

    Valencia off Man U maybe, Bellerin off Arsenal perhpas but id say Trippier had a better season.

    Clyne off Liverpool hasnt lived up to his expectations, Chelsea havent a regular RB, who else is left.

    The standard is poor and Tippier is certainly up there, as is Wlaker even if you dont rate them highly.

    When Azpilicueta plays right full he's the best by a street. Wherever he plays along the backline he's excellent.

    Defensively maybe but he doesn't offer the same in attack.

    ESPN reporting Liverpool have had a projected bid of 70 million turned down for Keita.
    Liverpools biggest bid on a player...ever?
    I wouldn't be reading too much in the Red Bull Salzburg performances. Huge money for a guy who's had one season in the Bundesliga (a decent one tbf)

    And he played as a CB mostly last year.

    Chelsea have "serious and strong interest' in Sergio Aguero according to sky sources. Breaking news on sky sports news now.

    I cant see City giving their best striker ever to a direct rival. Not going to happen.

    By all accounts he's the dogs bollocks and if he has another season like his first how much will he go for? I think he actually has a release clause next summer of much less than what Liverpool are offering, he will go then definitely if that's the case. About him having only one good season under his belt it's like Kante, one great season was enough to see what he was about.

    Palmeri (the Italian Indykalia) has mentioned it too.

    I think its nothing but BS anyway but I cant see Aguero styaing past next season at City, Pep was playing Jesus when he was fit over Aguero.

    Chelsea interested in Aguero. Spurs plotting Neymar bid, Arsenal weighing up Messi move, Villa considering Modric approach.
    Silly season is here.

    There has to be a random transfer generator in operation somewhere.
