Kagawa's moving closer to a United switch, Chelsea are on the verge of landing Hazard, and even Swansea are about to sign Sigurdsson permanently. It is depressing considering all we've done so far is announce pre-season friendlies against the mighty Cheltenham and Southend.
Still, I'd prefer a bit of haggling over, say, paying 15 million quid for the new David Bentley, so 'grin and bear it' seems to be the way forward, I suppose.

Glad to see UEFA's new financial fair play rules are working well...

Eden Hazard is only Roman Abramovich's first step in rebuilding of Chelsea
"Chelsea are understood to be close to announcing break-even financial results, thanks to Drogba's decisive penalty in the shootout against Bayern, which club insiders say could be worth as much as ?ú100m. With Financial Fair Play approaching, the Champions League success has provided wriggle room. Abramovich wants his team to dance to a funkier beat."
