Patrick Roberts to Manchester City for £11mil is a DONE DEAL.

Does he have any chance at all of getting near the first team in the next five years?

18 year old English forward from Fulham who people thing is really good. He's done really well for the England youth teams. He's really small though.

Real shame about Patrick Roberts, would've liked to see him step up to a team that would've given him a lot of starts, rather than Ross Turnbulling his career away.

Jose said there's no interest in Pedro, so looks like that's another one off to United.

Really don't get this window for Chelsea, they said they want to strengthen to compete in the CL but looks like that's buy buying a permacrock and human laundering young Brazilians who will never play for the first team.

Tottenham have been pretty quiet so far and they're getting rid of quite a few players. Feel like they're putting an awful lot of faith in Kane being able to reproduce last season's effort.

So is everyone happy with their club's transfers so far?

Yes. :) I'll be even happier if City spend all the money on Pogba and possibly De Bruyne, and move Dzeko and Jovetic on.

He's probably going to Roma, actually. Porto are in for him too, to replace Jackson Martinez.

I wish we would bring in another good center back (not that I don't trust Caceres) and if we sell Vidal/Pogba, a talented midfielder with the money (but not all of it). Apart from that, I've been incredibly pleased. We've strengthened our attacking options so impressively, I'm shocked we didn't do it years ago. Guess the CL money helped.

I just realized that Tevez went home. Do you think he's been properly replaced?

Between Mandzukic (unproven in Italy, but basically a better Llorente), Dybala (a talented, young, creative attacking player proven in Serie A with assists and goals), and Zaza (another creative talented young player kinda proven in Serie A), I trust we will have no issues scoring goals. Especially alongside Morata, who blew me away during our CL run. Llorente also, technically, hasn't been moved along yet.

Losing both Vidal and Pirlo has to sting though. Who's likely to play instead? Midfield three of Pogba, Pereya, Sturaro? What ever happened to Asamoah?

Now now now there have been a lot of rumors about Pogba and Vidal but nothing confirmed even if Bayern has come sniffing.

Asamoah is good, Lichsteiner are good. Pereyra had a great first season with us. Marchisio is one of my favorite players. Sturaro has shown some promise. Pirlo is a big loss but I think being able to have a more speedy midfield could benefit us overall. I hope we don't lose both Pogba and Vidal unless it's for crazy money!

e: I have low expectations for Khedira. Low.

So far Arturo still is in vacation, which should end come Monday and then fly in for a medical check this week (if there's substance to the rumours).

Terry will retire and Cahill struggles at times (mostly because he plays next to Iva who plays really far up the pitch) so I think Stones could be a good replacement and it would be nice for the replacement to get some mentoring time from JT so now is the year.

Zouma needs more time, from what I saw of him stats wise he's good at defending but didn't move the ball a lot. He's really good though.

Kalas played excellently in a certain game two seasons ago which I'm sure you'll remember. Then he was at Boro last year and now again. I don't get it, he looked good.

Christensen is the Dane he's at a German club this year. He featured in I think two games last year, one the FA cup spanking from Bradford. He'll eventually be sold just like Kalas.
