At today's prices? Probably a fair few. The rise in transfer fees this summer must make our £10-12m bracket even harder to sign quality players now.

The Guardian are nailing those preview pieces. Really well researched stuff.

paul joyce ‏@pjoyceexpress Koeman: "We will do business for three or four more players."

CHESTER OUT, BENTEKE IN? A little more on that news that West Brom defender James Chester could be heading to Aston Villa; we understand that one could be done in the next few days and believe the fee is in the region of £7m. More news concerning the Baggies and this time it's about a potential arrival; we understand West Brom have entered the race to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool. We'll keep you posted on that one.

Claude does a better job of keeping quiet about transfers than Ronald did when he 1st started.

I guess it helps to have a stadium given to you.

West Ham United FC ‏@whufc_official BREAKING: The Hammers have agreed a loan move for Argentinean striker @Jocalleri ⚒ #WHUFC http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2016/August/11-August/loan-deal-agreed-for-calleri

Sam Cunningham ‏@samcunningham Mauricio Pochettino says he is 'very disappointed' with Paul Mitchell's decision to hand in his resignation. Full story @MailSport.

Slow work day... So since Guan posted this a couple of nights ago, I've sorted out a list of players mentioned since his post above: - Berahino - Boufal - Brandon Barker - Bruma - Castaignos - Chadli - Depay - Felipe Anderson - Gabbiadini - Grealish - Insigne - Januzaj - Marko Rog - Mertens - Muniain - Odegaard - Ounas - Ox - Praet - Quincy Promes - Quintero - Rafa Silva - Slimani - Tello - Ziyech

Not quite as controversial as Leicester's pre-season tour shenanigans from last season - But lets hope it has the same effect

Swansea City AFC ‏@SwansOfficial ✍️ #Swans complete club-record signing of Borja Baston from @Atleti for £15.5m #HolaBorja]

I saw 60m stated.

Depends who says it.

That will mean we actually kept one of the "Want-away five"!

Just seen that Rafa Silva's agent is Jorge Mendes. (Which could explain 'the entourage' aspect of the deal).

They got that from the contracts thread on here.

Sunderland AFC @SunderlandAFC DOUBLE SWOOP: #SAFC can confirm the signings of Paddy McNair and Donald Love

At Liverpool, slowly running out of clubs to sign for.

Makes sense. Up the feel-good factor before we get the season started. He is indeed. Hence my Hash-tag

[video=youtube;XcCmeJm-98I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcCmeJm-98I A refresher video, just in-case it's him.

The curious thing about Rafa Silva is (like Tadic) his primary position is one that doesn't exist within the diamond formation, so I'm guessing he would be used at the tip, behind the strikers.

2pm.
