Done deal apparently.

Ipswich might have derailed that

Wants 80k wages apparently

Just read that if this goes through, we will have sold Ndidi - Maddison - Tielemans for the same amount we bought Winks - Skipp - Soumare for. I can't be the only person who has their day ruined by that.

Been a great servant to the club. Wish him well

I'm not somebody who sees no place for politics in football but this is beyond the pale. Can't be using a football team to provide support for an invasion

Palace somehow getting 6m euros for Edouard from Girona.

Very likeable guy, got to respect that he stuck with his club and captained them to their first trophy in donkey's years. Think it's fair he can go cash in now in Saudi Arabia or the US.

Really wish he'd commit to one year with us but I suspect he's got an agent in his ear looking for a tasty transfer bonus. Would understand if he was going somewhere where he'll be a prem regular but Leeds is just delaying playing in the championship by a year

It's gotten to the point where while I have about ten players I'd rather get shot of before JJ, if we can get a fee for him we probably need to do it

Honestly, I like the balance that Ndidi/Winks/Brownhill has on paper as a midfield. Although I reckon Ndidi is gone.

I don't mean this as a knock, but generally women footballers aren't going to be able to generate the same power that men can on their shots - so the relatively smaller goalkeepers are kind of balanced out by slower shots. Anecdotally, I feel like their shots are generally more telegraphed too, but that's something that will come as the women's game matures.

Maybe, but Adidas clearly have priorities on certain clubs and everybody else gets handed a template catalogue to choose from. I don't mind a template if they're done tastefully and so you definitely have a point about half of the problem coming from inside the club; but Macron and Umbro regularly put out quality and thoughtful kits for League 1/2 sides.

Can't wait to be shot of Adidas. As long as it isn't Castore or Nike, I'd take anybody at this point.

I also like how he got to try Nelson out in two different configurations that way.

Honestly I think he could do well there, has a bit of that poaching instinct you want

Glad Martí gets to see how shite Vestergaard and Coady are first hand before the season starts

Exactly why I'm not worried about Mads going - Jakub is going to be great for us

Is Kristiansen injured or has Martí been cutthroat?

Either still recovering from his injury or he's off to West Ham. I'm at peace with it either way frankly - Stolarczyk is a more than capable keeper for the championship.

Could we maybe try and reunite Jusef Erabi with Marti? Was linked with Sassuolo for around £5m earlier in the window.

Is a Winks - BEK - Alves midfield too lightweight?

I have to give the club some credit, getting Monga locked down is going to be so, so important moving forward. He's going to be a superstar

Would be great but the club is looking for 20m+ and have already turned down a bid from Fulham, no chance he comes here even in the dream world where we can afford him.

Comes across well but wearing two watches is an ick
