Unless we don't have a replacement lined up.

BERAHINO AVAILABLE FOR BAGGIES West Brom boss Tony Pulis still has Saido Berahino available Saturday’s Premier League opener at Crystal Palace. Berahino has been the subject of bids from Palace and Stoke this summer, but he could still run out for the Baggies at Selhurst Park with a resolution over his future seemingly way off.

Regardless of interest, I think in this case, we need to raise the St Mary's draw-bridge (aka Morgan & Vic). It's too close to the season to sell our captain.

Ed Aarons ‏@ed_aarons Sunderland’s Lamine Koné submits transfer request after Everton bid. Chelsea also interested https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/12/sunderland-lamine-kone-transfer-request-everton

That was quality

Lets hope he flourishes in the No.10 position. He's easily the best choice for that role at the moment. Important we tied him down after losing Pelle & Mane.

Surely news worthy of having it's own thread? Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC We're delighted to announce playmaker Dušan Tadić has signed a new four-year contract with #SaintsFC: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/20160812-dusan-tadic-new-southampton-contract-announcement-3242812.aspx

All quiet on the ITK front.

Hopefully a feature on MLT being at Staplewood today.

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.
