Mahrez is quality, but I dont see who he replaces in the team. Its added strength in depth though.

Weakens Leicester significantly too.

Wonder if we should look at Bernardo Silva, he must be even more marginalized by this? He was quality at Monaco, although I’m not sure exactly whose place he’d take with us either though?

Manchester United are interested in signing West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic - the Hammers want £50m for the 28-year-old Austrian. (Sky Sports)

I can't believe @StephenH has been made Yanited boss and hasn't even mentioned it.

French Ligue 1 rights sold for 1bn, now is the time to buy Malcolm. From 2020 he could cost a fortune (when this deal kicks in).

Still half of the premier league deal though which will likely increase slightly for the next round. The company who bought them also got thrown out of their Serie A deal as they couldn't provide the financial guarantees so lets see how this plays out first.

Good signings though only going by what I've read on Jorginho. Coming into their peak age wise, will add depth to the squad and neither are at the world cup either. Mahrez obviously has PL experience as well.

 

[Seedy Ron]

From the times I've seen Jorginho for Napoli, I can't really see what the fuss is about.

Plus he spends most of his time posting on here.

Always liked Perisic.

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

To old.

 

[Daisuk]

To old.

He's born in 1989, yet he's too old. What is the world coming to. I'm getting old.

 

[NoLimits01]

I'm getting old.

No, you got old.

 

[Daisuk]

No, you got old.

Hehe, yeah, and still getting older! I was thinking about it the other day. From 2006 until today, 12 years - is as long as from 1994 up until 2006. Which, for some reason, is kind of mind boggling to me.

Because from 94 to 06 were your glory years going out and doing stuff, then life slowed down into work and relationships.

Yup. To think how much energy was subconsciously spent back then chasing the current state of affairs.

It's just your life accelerating away. Don't worry though, it stops eventually.

I would be happy with that deal.

 

[Cochise]

Not bothered about Perisic nor Lemar actually.

Anyone know what Dembele's situation is over at Barca?? He's been linked with both Liverpool and Arsenal now.
