Swansea bid 'in excess' of £5m for Troy Deeney http://www1.skysports.com/transfer/news/11731/9377042/transfer-news-swansea-put-in-a-bid-of-over-1635m-for-watfords-troy-deeney

I'm sure they are doing fine financially. They're just about to sell Suarez for £75m. I saw Ben Smith tweet that their signings so far haven't been dependant on selling Suarez either.

Here's one for you, Beckenham Saint: Mario Pasalic joins the greatest youth player development vacuum that is Chelsea. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/07/pasalic-signs.html?WT.mc_id=social_20140709_27514536

Best bet might be Galatasary - They probably wouldn't blink at his wages.

You've got a job on your hands to keep this up to date Everton - Gareth Barry http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11671/9376140/transfer-news-everton-sign-midfielder-gareth-barry-on-three-year-deal

Gareth Barry signs for Everton,

I agree. I favour 4-5-1. Liked your line up earlier with Tadic - Sigurdsson - Ramirez as the support 3.

2 if we carry on with 1 up front IMO. 3 if we are looking to go 3-5-2.

I think West Ham were in for about 18 left backs before they landed Cresswell

Really good signing - Well done Saints for getting this one over the line. So far so good re: Guan's 7 day promise.

Spurs worry me the most now, re: Morgan.

Agreed - Thought Zarate was a nice addition as well.

Isn't it under the terms of Big Sam staying that means that the board have more of a say in transfer targets now?

Yeah, Paul Smith came from Brentford didn't he? I guess Folly & Griffit were more signings.... So to was Boyle I think (he was a Mike Wilde type signing) - Adam Pearce should be Alex Pearce (and he was a loan signing)

Guan Smiley timing sweepstake? 3pm.

Fair play if West Ham can pull that off... Elsewhere, I saw this on the SSN news ticker just now Another Algeria international who caught the eye during the World Cup was Yacine Brahimi, with reports in Portugal claiming that the Granada man could be on his way to Porto. The Portuguese club are reported to be in advanced negotiations over an 8million euros deal for a player who is also said to be attracting interest from Everton, Liverpool and Udinese. Sounds like a relative bargain.

I think he will definitely go up a level. But right now, I think league 1 in a team that plays slick football is perfect for his development. Karl Robinson obviously really rates him: “He’s got all the technical components to play at the top level. The sky is the limit for Reevesy and I’m looking forward to working with him once again.”

Good to see - Was a great move for him. They play good stuff and suit his style really well.

I quite like to see where players end up. I saw Ben Reeves signed a new deal with MK Dons the other day - He's progressing well.

Crikey, that is some serious coin... Is that the most expensive signing for a championship team ever?

Piazon as well please.

If it has gone through I bet Guan is regetting making his 3 posts earlier today. He would've missed out on his 'smiley' post.

Ben Smith saying on Twitter that none of Liverpool's new signings have been dependant on the Suarez money. Good - That means they can easily stump up £25m.
