It's June. It's time. Let's do this.

The latest:

City have signed Ederson. Atletico's transfer ban has been upheld. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is returning to Ajax. Darren Fletcher is joining Stoke. Franck Kessie has reportedly passed his Milan medical.

In the world of managerial news, Mancini is taking over at Zenit. And in the case of the Leeds United, Michael Laudrup and Aitor Karanka are (allegedly) not walking through that door.

Sounds like Aberdeen's Derek McInnes is going to be the new Sunderland manager.

And Celtic's chief youth scout David Moss is going to Huddersfield as their new Director of Football Operations.

We'll see how long it takes this to get stickied and get the old one taken down.

The big story to watch in Scotland actually invokes the EPL: will anyone buy Andy Robertson from Hull and, if so, for how much?

This matters because it could be all that's standing between Dundee United and administration, after they bet everything on instant promotion and lost.

Mendy supposedly following behind Ederson. Hopefully Txiki gets that one wrapped up quickly.

First page!

Manchester United may or may not be done chasing Griezmann. They may or may not have Romelu Lukaku as their summer No. 1. They may or may not sell David De Gea.

McInnes leaving after that end of the Scottish Cup would be a true gut punch. Sad that he wasn't able to pull off the title when Celtic was down.

His player acquisition for the most part has been underwhelming.

I think Pep has full control

You forgot "ManU may or may not be keeping an eye on Bale". If he doesn't start the champions league final, that may or may not be a sign of his RM future.

Lol Antoine committing to Atletico.

Is Lukaku news really gaining steam? I haven't heard one thing about him going to United.

Also, Ederson is confirmed by Benfica to be a City player for €40 mil. Great business keeping it under £40 mil and significantly less than the €60 mil buyout fee.

technically you did

Buffon was 32 million pounds. The pound is still the strongest currency used in transfers. The Euro has just caught up in strength while the pound has dropped post Brexit.

Well good thing italy uses Euros.

As far as I know he went from parma to Juve for €50 mil like back in the early 2000's and in today's curreny that is nearly €70 mil.

ETA: City also used euros for Ederson so translating it to pounds is just fishing for a point and irrelevant.

Mendy is supposedly going to be announced for City after international duty for £39 mil.

but your gk was purchased in pounds.....

Own up to it, you guys broke the record. But did United, Chelsea, Bayern, Barca and a few other clubs a big favor by making the value of their GK's go way up. You have set the new standard in the market.

It was insane he cost that much back then.

LOL the purchase has not even been confirmed by City. Don't talk out your arse until they make it official.

If you can't beat them, buy them.
