There are a number of teams in China Toure could be very useful for.

Meanwhile, Mangala could work out well for Arsenal. And Bony for Palace.

I want to see Benteke go to West Brom and play under Pulis.

It just feels like a match made in heaven. Also my Dad is a West Brom fan and loathes the Villa, so naturally an ex-Villa player going to West Brom would please me to no end.

Just give us 30 European M's and I'll drive him there myself.

I hope James Rodriguez leaves Real madrid.

If Zidane is going to opt for Lucas or even asjeno, both isco and james should leave, or at least one of them.... James should move to either bayern or PSG.

Time to pick up a LB.

Rumours of Spurs possibly selling Son to Wolfsburg. Far too soon, I think. He had his moments.

Watch us sell Son to Wolfsburg, and they turn around and sell Draxler to Arsenal

Otherwise known as the Ozil cycle

Think they would rather go after Hamez. He will also sell way more shirts than Draxler and Wenger need the money so he can pay all his 600 employees.

I honestly don't see Arsenal spending the £50m+ it will require to sign James. Plus they already have a litany of attacking midfielders.

Reds reportedly made an 18m bid for Paredes from Roma. I might lose my **** if Sakho is loaned out.

Maybe Chelsea? I know Roman has not paid big money for a player since Torres in 2011. But they need more creativity against teams that park the bus. Oscar and Willian are workhorses and Fabregas has had a good start this season but he always starts well and then fade away after a few months. Hazard can't do it on his own.

James is a Mendes client. No chance he ends up at Arsenal. Hope after the Wenger era we can actually start dealing with Mendes and Raiola.... the club is just tying its hands refusing to deal with them.

Starting to believe we won't sign anyone. Thought they'd learn after last year.... nope

Seems unwise, unless the deal was just too good.

I thought you guys were also selling Chadli and Njie....Spurs and their pressing really needs fresh legs every game. Also, from what I've seen and what others say, Ericksen has yet to play well for you guys...

I wouldn't mind any of that. If they're willing to sell Son they must have a replacement in mind. And Draxler turned out to be nothing special.

He hasn't played particularly well this season, in the first two matches, but he's been great over the past few years. He frequently has lulls like this like most luxury players, and I think this time it's due to his contract situation, which we're looking at wrapping up soon.

Also I believe N'Jie is going the other way to Marseille in the N'Koudou deal. Dunno what's going on with Chadli.

Yeah, you're probably right, despite that I feel like Draxler could succeed in the PL. I still want a couple more new signings.

Bild are linking us to Calhanoglu for £22m now, most likely bollocks. Pray for Massimo if that one ever came to fruition.

Calhanoglu is overrated. Projects a slightly better version of Gylfi Sigurdsson. Great for set pieces and long shots but not creative enough to be #10 at a top team.
