I mainly remember Romeu from FM. Seem to recall him joining from Barca and he was very highly rated. Surprised he's still there.

Excellent news. I reckon we upped the offer a little bit.

Holy sh*t! Awesome if true.

I'm assuming this will rumble on until they qualify (or not) for the Champs league.

That was Andrei Pereplyotkin

Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Arsenal weighing up £22 million bid for Sevilla midfielder Krychowiak #afc http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11797617/Arsenal-transfer-news-Arsene-Wenger-weighing-up-22million-bid-for-Sevilla-midfielder-Grzegorz-Krychowiak.html

Rory Smith at the Times tweeted this during the Swansea match: Rory Smith ‏@RorySmithTimes Swansea have perfected the art of having players who are really good, but not quite trendy enough for anyone to come and sign. Very true, and that's a pretty handy skill that we have perfected yet.

Lyall Thomas ‏@SkySportsLyall Sky sources :#BristolCity have had a £6m+add ons bid accepted by #CrystalPalace for Dwight Gayle #BCFC #CPFC.

It's been quiet in regards to our centre-midfielder search. Here's a list of most of the names we've been linked with this summer (some have already moved to other clubs) - Tonny Vilhena - Ondrej Duda - N'golo Kante - Idrissa Gueye - Alex Song - Grzegorz Krychowiak - Sven Bender - Gianelli Imbula - Marco Benassi - Yohan Cabaye - Dennis Praet - Vicente Iborra - Mario Lemina - Kyle Ebecilio - Mario Suarez - Leon Goretzka

Everton hopeful Gerard Deulofeu and Mo Besic will be fit for Southampton http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-hopeful-gerard-deulofeu-mo-9832892?

West Bromwich Albion ‏@WBAFCofficial .@salorondon23, 25, pens four-year deal for fee in region of £12m.

Like the look of that. Bench has excellent pace to bring on against tired legs.

Interesting question actually. They can't have surely gone for Barton instead of Song can they? I do recall a story that Song might be injured for a couple of months.

BARTON SET FOR HAMMERS? Joey Barton is presently undergoing a fitness test and medical at West Ham, according to Sky sources. The 32-year old was one of six players released by QPR at the end of last season following their relegation from the Premier League.

Still hoping we make a late window bid for Eva Carneiro @ Chelsea after Jose had a pop at her after the Swansea game.

Mirallas a doubt too: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/458338/Everton-Team-News-Injury-Kevin-Mirallas-Leighton-Baines-Roberto-Martinez-Update-Latest

It's probably been set as that by default for the last 3 seasons.

@SkySportsLyall: Xerdhan Shaqiri at Britannia watching #StokeCity v #Liverpool ... previous move to #scfc broke down

Linked with Shaqiri... By the sounds of this they'll need a left-back too http://bbc.in/1W9ffUk

@SimonPeach: Jose Fonte believes Virgil van Dijk would be a high-quality addition if #SaintsFC can coax the defender away from #Celtic @SimonPeach: Fonte on Van Dijk: "I know he's a good player, obviously. He's a guy that we've been linked to, but he's not here yet" #SaintsFC #Celtic @SimonPeach: Fonte: "If (Van Dijk) comes, he'll add quality to the team & even more competition at the back, so it will be interesting" #SaintsFC #Celtic

Apparently it's the 1st time he's not started since he's been there.

Good stuff. Was always hopeful this would be a great move for him
