DELPH TO CITY BACK ON? A week ago Fabian Delph said he was not leaving Aston Villa to join Manchester City, but could the move be back on? There is a picture doing the rounds on social media apparently of Delph going for a medical and Manchester Evening News reporter James Robson has just tweeted: "Confirmed City move for Delph is back on". We will keep you updated with this story when we hear more, but here's what Delph said last week: "I'm not leaving. I'm staying at the football club and I can't wait for the start of the Premier League season."

Good job we're going to get some practice in vs Dutch opponents soon then!

TOFFEES REJECT STONES BID Everton have turned down a £20m offer from Chelsea for defender John Stones, according to Sky sources.

I think van Dijk is in that little niche that both Fraser & Wanyama were that's perfect for us to recruit - Potentially good enough for top 4, but not quite there yet. Exactly the sort of player we should be getting.

Exactly what was thinking. Good for Villa to stand firm on Liverpool as well. Fair play.

Wowsers! Coincientally, I read this yesterday re: Benteke & Liverpool: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11738370/Why-Christian-Benteke-could-be-a-bad-signing-for-Liverpool.html

KABOUL IN BLACK CATS MEDICAL Spurs defender Younes Kaboul is having a medical at Sunderland ahead of completing a £3m move to the Stadium of Light, according to Sky sources. ^ Puts them further off the VvD trail

Good article on him: http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2015/07/16/13632372/-?

I would have expected us to pay around £12m

Cheers Guan. Much appreciated.

Tease! Any more clue's for us, Guan 2.0?

Literally been waiting a year for this signing! - So happy we got this one over the line, and for a bargain price too.

TBH, I'm not entirely sure.

Possible, but doubtful.

WBA BID FOR ANTONIO Sky Sources understand West Brom have made a £5m offer for Nottingham Forest winger Michail Antonio. Tony Pulis has stepped up negotiations with the winger after a deal with Queens Park Rangers over Matt Phillips continues to stall.

You've un-earthed Ronald's plan of rotating them after every ban.

West Ham are preparing a big for Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez, according to various reports. The Daily Mail claims the Hammers have been interested since last summer and are now ready to make an £8m move for the Mexico international. However, Slaven Bilic was not to be drawn on the link with Hernandez during his press conference before his side’s Europa League clash with Birkirkara FC. He said: “I will not discuss the players who are not here. We are trying to be active in the transfer window and the Board have been active. We are still trying to improve our squad. Don't forget the team did well last year, and we've brought in the players to make it better."

True - Worth remembering we probably had the £7m set aside for Toby from last season's sales as well.
