Lopes has been sold to Monaco for somewhere between 7-8m pounds. Sucks that he wanted to leave, but he probably wasn't ready to get major time in the first team. And getting that money is better than watching him leave on a free next year anyway.

Maybe there's a buyback clause, but I doubt it.

vs Juventus H (15/9) falls between Palace A & West Ham H
vs Gladback A (30/9) falls between Spurs A & Newcastle H
vs Sevilla H (21/10) falls between Bournemouth H & Utd A
vs Sevilla A (3/11) falls between Norwich H & Villa A
vs Juventus A (25/11) falls between Norwich H & Villa A
vs Gladbach H (8/12) falls between Norwich H & Villa A

All pretty good news. The best news is that Utd goes to Russia before the Derby.

We have one on rekik. Excited about KDB and our CL draw.

Blue moon rumblings that we have one more target and probably one more departure. Hope it isn't Navas or DMC. Really need DMC. Bacary can cover some CB but we're going to be relying on him heavily without Zaba.

Hate to see Nasri leave. We lose sterling and silvas backup.

KDB can play in the middle. I don't think Nasri or Navas leave in this window though.

The departure is certainly Denayer.

Assuming no more first team incomings after KDB, nobody else has to leave once Denayer goes out on loan because that puts the team at 17 foreign players. Zuculini also has to go out on loan as well, but I don't think he was ever in their first team plans.

I just don't see any other major signings before the window. Maybe another youth player or something though.

Decent scheduling.

Has nobody mentioned the fact that we consistently get screwed in UCL draw while Chelsea continue to get easy draws? This is like 3-4 years in a row now. Looking forward to this good group though, I just hope we don't get Barca again if we go through.

I actually don't mind the draw as I think they could have done a whole lot worse. The 442 looks to be gone from Pelligrini's plan so I am optimistic about their chances in the UCL.

Mother of God.

Supposedly KDB is waiting in the airport to fly to Manchester because Allofs has now decided he doesn't want to sign off on it just yet. Kev?

I understand getting top dollar and all but christ on a cracker this has gotten ridiculous.

ETA: Now they're saying reports last night were premature. Deal hasn't been reached.

Remember when we sold Bale and it took all summer? There were rumours flying around everyday, blah blah blah...

This is worse. Not much worse, but worse.

frickin' sign the kid already.

With a slew of injuries at the moment (Clichy, Bony, Fernando, Zabaleta) and Otamendi's work permit issues, we will see some new faces on the bench this weekend with Patrick Roberts and Pablo Maffeo.

Bony on crutches and Clichy out out to seven weeks...
No worries, Kun & Kolarov never get hurt.

He's had the best chance of the day, but it's going to take luck or greatness to get one today with Watford playing 11 in the box.

YAY TREX!

Edit: I'd say that cross by Sagna was a bit of greatness.
