Has there ever been a team lose so many of its key players in one window as Roma have in this?

Totti (retired)
Salah (us)
Rudiger (chelsea)
Paredes (zenit)

Are they still owned by FSG? If so - should we have concerns that the club are so open to a mass exodus of big names? I'd hate to be a Roma fan right now - huge losses with only an average CM coming in so far (Pellegrini)

8 arrivals so far, from €3m to €13m.

They have signed 4 players so far mate. Its Monchi working his magic again, I guess.

Karsdorp, Hector Moreno, Pellegrini and Gonalons.

Karsdorp and Gonalons are very good signings, for 14 mill euros and 5 mill euros.

Interesting. I wonder if the fans will be happy with losing big names and replacing with 'value' selections. Was always going to be a huge loss when Totti left, but seeing two of their biggest names also go out the door must be tough.
 
Chelski are in for Morata, unsurprisingly. Their dastardly plan to get a free run at him has worked. Most of the utd fans wanted him over lukaku. Chelski can probably pay whatever Real are asking for.

Stormzy signs for manure.

Even at current rates that's a really good buy, if it's proven to be not more than just rumours. Their midfield was looking rather untested however if they add Sigurdsson that is a major upgrade.

Swansea City have set an asking price of £50m for midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson after rejecting an offer worth around £40m from Leicester.

I am not surprised. His contributions can be the difference between Swansea staying in the PL and Championship. Surely that is worth atleast 50 million.

Where RM got it right and Barca's done it wrong - and the latter continues to lose its players from La Masia such Jordi Mboula (Monaco), Eric Garcia (16 yr old apparently going to Man City).

[article]Any time a player becomes linked with Real Madrid in recent years, they are invariably only beginning their careers or coming into their peak years. When Florentino Perez returned to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in 2009, it was his policy to sign players who still had their best years to offer, and the average age of his purchases has dropped to 23 - three years lower than that of his previous term.

The big-name signings of this second term have been Cristiano Ronaldo - 24 when signed - Kaka (27), Gareth Bale (24), James Rodriguez (23) and Toni Kroos (24). With only the Brazilian exceeding a quarter of a century, the shift in focus is apparent from the first 'Galactico' era, when Zinedine Zidane (29), Luis Figo (27), David Beckham (28) and Ronaldo Nazario (25) were signed.

That first generation delivered just one Champions League success, while this current side already have three under their belts. Furthermore, players have arrived at a reasonable cost and left for sizeable sums; Mesut Ozil, Angel Di Maria and Isco arrived not yet stars and completed their development at the Bernabeu before the former two were sold on for big money.Not only have the signings gotten younger, but Madrid have turned their attention to integrating more of their own young players, too.

Once La Decima was won, there was no immediate pressure to win another Champions League so soon after, so Real could place their trust in young talent.Marco Asensio's signing is a perfect example, having joined Los Blancos at just 19, he looks set for stardom in the years to come having signed from Mallorca and enjoying a year on loan at Espanyol.Vinicius Junior is another whose arrival is sealed, while Theo Hernandez is the next to be trusted in the first-team at 19. All of this before considering their own academy, where Dani Carvajal will provide the evidence that progression from a prospect to a key player is possible.[/article]

With the financial tightrope growing ever thinner at the Camp Nou, Barcelona fans could be forgiven for asking a little more of the pay cheques arriving in the stead of their outgoing players. While Real Madrid let Mariano Diaz, a striker who has barely featured for the first-team, go for 8 million euros on Friday, the Blaugrana saw one-time prodigy Cristian Tello leave for half that. Meanwhile, another La Masia prospect in Gerard Deulofeu returns to Catalonia for 12m euros having been allowed to leave for 6m euros, just 12 months after Dani Alves and Sandro Ramirez were moved on for not even a single euro. It's an all too familiar feeling, that Barcelona are unable to negotiate higher fees when selling their players, and it's not exclusive to their cast offs.

Both Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas cost princely sums to pluck from Udinese and Arsenal, respectively, and yet left after decent first-team spells for amounts that barely broke even. It's true that Claudio Bravo's 20m euro price tag consolidated a good deal for the goalkeeper but the 8m euros received for Marc Bartra and 30m euros for Pedro remain questionable, and few can argue in favour of the 25m euros Thiago Alcantara left for due to a technicality in his contract. Of all these operations, few can be said to have truly turned out in Barcelona's favour and the consequences of a team undervalued and unbalanced may start to become apparent on the pitch sooner rather than later.

And that Sandro lad who is 3rd on the list is the one who is supposedly moving to Everton (just 1 season after joining Malaga on free transfer).

Close to adding Dani Ceballos to this lot
 
Dani Ceballos is boss. Even though he looks like he's 45 and not 22, and has spent the last 25 years in Ibiza.

In the crazy market of today, I'd say so. None of their signings so far (with the possible exception of Keane, and I'm not even sure about him) would get into our best side, but IMHO Sigurdsson might.
 
Hansern said:
Who would he replace though? Coutinho, Lallana, or Mane? Doubtful.
Click to expand...

Probably none of those, no, but there are other midfield spots he could and IMO would do well in, Gini's for example. I like Gini as a player and he's a definite asset on his day, but his habitual disappearing act away from home makes him less of a shoo-in than his talent suggests he should be.

Maybe, I'm not sure he would be effective further back in midfield. Nor does he have the work rate and defensive contribution that Gini offers.
 
Well, he offers less of them (a lot less unfortunately) away from home, but fair comments overall. I did say "might" and I'm not saying Sigurdsson would definitely get in, but I think he's talented enough to be in with a chance whereas I don't see most of Everton's signings making that final step.
 
Everton are ready to continue their summer of spending with a move for Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke, according to Sky sources.
The Merseysiders have already signed forwards Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney this summer but they now have former Liverpool man Benteke in their sights.
Reports towards the end of the season claimed the striker, who cost Palace a club-record fee of £27m, was considering leaving.
Benteke, who is already being tracked by Chelsea, left Liverpool for Selhurst Park last summer and scored 17 goals under the stewardship of Sam Allardyce last season.


Did we get a sell on clause inserted?
 
Fucking great loan that is, Real are going to get pretty much fuck all for him at the end of that. Bayern must be laughing their tits off.
 
There will be a fee for making the transfer permanent after 2 years I reckon, but yeah, great deal for them. Edit, for 35 mill euros.
Sanchez not going to Bayern then.
