I am sure I saw something last year that was like a league table of transfer stories and exclusives. The Mirror came bottom of the pile with less than 20% accuracy
Summer Transfer Window 2017/18 - Rumours & Signings
- Thread starter BaZ87
- Start date
Saw this elsewhere and at times it's how I feel we do transfer also made me laugh a little
LFC: "How much for this Dairy Milk?"
Shopkeeper: "80p."
LFC: "Give you 60p for it"
Shopkeeper: "No 80p."
*LFC goes to another shop, buys Tracker bar for 80p

Lots of Sanchez to City rumours. I would be very surprised if that happened.
Man of Honour
Being reported that Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is flying into London over the weekend in order to complete his move to Chelsea. L'Equipe says that the fee for Bakayoko will be €40 million.

Damn Monaco are getting stripped bare.

Manchester United have agreed an initial fee of €35million for the transfer of Sweden international Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

Seems a good price in a crazy market.

Seems a good price in a crazy market.
rumours over the last few days seem to suggest 5m euros in addons
even if its as much as £40m incl addons (cant see it being higher, but given the market who knows) given how crazy the market is its a pretty reasonable deal
One of the craziest rumours of the window is that JM wants to bring back Di Maria - personally cant see that as anything more than disinformation from the club to try and push through the Peresic deal (given his club's issue with FFP and having to pay 30m euros before the end of June - if reports are true)

I assume that is the end of the Keane rumours, thank goodness.

All rumors for James Rodriguez from Madrid have went quite personally think he would be an amazing buy for Utd.
Caporegime
Never was any good links for James it was just Madrid trying to find a buyer for him.
Mourinho's pet dog claims there are "significant performance-related bonuses". €5m doesn't seem very significant.
We definitely don't need five CBs.. I'm guessing Smalling or Jones will have to go as not all with get game time unless there's injuries. Or of course they'll just be happy to be on the bench, long as they're earning the dosh.
More importantly a world class striker is needed to replace Ibrahimovic.. along with a decent CM then I think we should be set but God knows how tight next season is going to be will be insane lol.

Is he any good though? Granted, my nan is better in defence than Jones but is he a decent (very decent) player? Or just another average player?
Caporegime
Seems to a be a ball playing defender, hopefully can be the perfect foil to Bailly.

Benfica have said the fee is 35m + 10m addons, all euros. Pretty good fee tbh, less than they wanted in January iirc.
Hopefully Lindelof and Bailly will make a good CB partnership. £60m~ for the pair isn't too bad these days.
Marca (aka the Real Madrid press department) say a deal for Morata is imminent too: http://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2017/06/10/593c5661468aebbb5f8b45d6.html

The only slight concern, according to that reddit review, is that bailly and Lindelof both appear to prefer the rcb position currently.
Given prices these days even @ 10 m euros addons for a decent young and experienced cb its a good deal for all concerned.
I actually wouldn't be averse to utd going for a 2nd cb, although this would limit the kids coming through, with rojo probably out until the new year ( and likely not fully fit until next summer) - it's Jones & smelling being so inconstant that's most worrying....and the amount of injuries utd rack up most seasons.
Obviously more offensive players have to come in first, and even a proper dm. but looks like these are well in the pipeline ( really hope jm doesn't go for matic, really haven't been that impressed with him after his 1st season back with Chelse).
The other slightly concerning thing is about belotti / rooney issue - ie with morata nearly done, with the rumours/ hints that rooney is thinking about sitting where he is for his final year will this have any effect on belotti or any other striker deal this summer? I really thought rooney would primarily want to play more, but doesn't look like the case atm

What it does though is give us an option of a back 3 when Rojo returns.
Bailly -- Lidelof -- Rojo.
He played in a back 3 with ease for Sweeden on Friday night. Good bit of business, no panic buying for CB, now onto the next position.

Hopefully Fabinho is next.
