Oh Lordy... you're right.

Wrong Llorente. Marcos is the one we'd like!

I would just flying armbar him. Rear naked choke would be too risky.

West Ham prepared to break club transfer record for Olivier Giroud ~ @JWTelegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/26/west-ham-prepared-break-club-transfer-record-olivier-giroud/ #WestHamStrikerWatch

Lyon doing a decent job of signing players I fancied for us: Bertrand Traore now signed. They are also closing in on Mariano Diaz from Real Madrid.

Was he linked to Osvaldo deal, mate? I just remember him seemingly being a pre-Morgan-sale panic signing.

@laudepoitre: Proud to join the Premier League with the Terriers next season. Looking forward to playing with my new shirt! @htafcdotcom #NewChallenge

That's a big blow. Isn't Mawson suspended as well? Might be a chance for Stephens to get a game.

That doesn't tend to happen often!

I've no idea why Liverpool haven't signed Bertrand already, TBH.

Agree with all that. I'd quite like a partner for Romeu, but we are probably assuming Hojbjerg will step up this season.

Agree. 1 good season & they are worth pretty much double. Don't see us having that much cash without selling anybody.

Marcos Llorente - Very good player by all accounts.

Gardos cover is not a position we should ever be looking for

Liverpool have watched him. Left back. 17m release clause, apparently.

I didn't think £25m for Bertrand would be bettered in the laughable stakes today... http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/25/report-southampton-defender-cedric-soares-wanted-by-juventus-15m/

I know. Imagine supporting a team where you have your existing squad, and you just add 3 or 4 to improve it. Wouldn't that be lovely?

PALACE TO GO FOR IHEANACHO Crystal Palace will look to back boss Frank De Boer with big money if the Dutchman agrees to take over at Selhurst Park. According to the Daily Mirror, Palace are set to confirm De Boer “within days” and will sanction a move for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho. West Ham and Leicester have also been linked with the Nigeria international.

Who's better?

He's had an utter 'mare really hasn't he? I half expected City to sign Rose & Poch sign him as his replacement.

Yeah, I'd rest a little easier if it wasn't quite as much cash. What the heck is happening with Gardos? On the plus side, Semedo didn't look all that great when I saw him play either. #BlackBoxMalware

Now you've done it - I got battered on here for comparing the 2 scenario's of loan moves aiding development of young strikers.
