Massively overpriced, he couldn't finish his dinner in the euros. Terrible replacement for Higuain if that's the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Zatman was saying it wasn't long ago he was highly rated at Reading and called up to England squad. He should make at least one move where he's going to be number one.

Zatman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 That Milik transfer is shocking, he is decent talent but not consistent enough at that level. I would say £10 million for him would be a gamble Ajax have absolute robbed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 Ashley Williams to Everton is gathering pace. At £10m seems decent value too (in the current crazy climate). If they can go from Stones to Williams and still have £40m in the bank leftover Everton should be very pleased with themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 So with Sané to Man City done I kinda wonder where in the pecking order Iheanacho will be. Aguero, Nolito, Sané, Bony in a team who will probably play 4-3-3 and also have De Bruine, Silva, (Nasri) Sterling and Navas to compete against. Will he go out on loan to get minutes before the African Cup of Nations? Totally unrealistic, but I'd be rather pleased if we could get him in even if he might be off in January. Won't happen of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) will be amazed if bony gets another minute for city. and navas will probably be getting phased out Edited August 2, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 2, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hull and Boro have sewn up 2 of the relegation places before the season kicks off and now I see Swansea making a late bid for the 3rd one by selling Ayew & Willliams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boro will stay up comfortably no? Got some good players at the club, looking forward to how likes of Adomah, Grant Leadbitter and Clayton do in the prem and they're quite solid at the back. Think they'll be reasonanbly comfortable. Can't see much hope for Burnley again....lost an experienced prem player in Barton and thought they might dip into the foreign market this time but seems Dyche is the new MON and dosen't like signing them. Yeah Swansea will be down there, losing a lot of quality and while Gudiolin did a very good rescue job from January he dosen't strike me as a long term appointment. Them or Watford as third team to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Rafael van der Vaart rumoured to FC Midtjylland in Denmark. Was surprised that he couldn't get better offers but than I read his girlfriend plays handball in Esbjerg(kind of close). Good choice for Rafael.

Bony was a typical money wasting deal from man city, he was ever going to start for them, totally unsuited to how they play and will no doubt end up sending him on loan covering most of he's wages.

VDV's legs have gone, saw him for Hamburg two seasons ago and he could barely run then, same at Betis last season. Class player in his day.

He had a good Euros but I thought last 18 months in games I watched Swansea he has lost a bit of form and looked all over the place could be that I had him in my fantasy team all season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
