i just saw €50m for a central defender described as "paltry". this has gone too far.

seems reasonable when you consider Harry Maguire cost 87m

Holding and Elneny were Wenger signings, and he gave debuts to some of the youngsters like Nketiah and Reiss Nelson

I was about to say "ah-hah what about Mason Mount" but I guess he was too young to be part of the last Chelsea win, which was longer ago than I remembered.

Maybe we'll get Jamie Vardy in.

You're right, and Levy would be a fool to turn down Maguire + £71m for Kane.

a reasonable transfer fee is the number in your head that would be an actually reasonable transfer fee but then you multiply it by four

Handanovic had become a liability on the pitch in the past few years. Seems like a nice enough guy and I hope he goes back to Slovenia to play another year or retires comfortably.

Also I hope Inter have to call up their youth team goalkeeper or something.

I'm not sure what about Liverpool's midfield from last year has tempted the Saudis but this is a bummer. Could cope with losing one, both might be more of an issue

That's gotta knock your confidence as a player, when the loving Saudis try to negotiate the fee.

Fabinho wasn't very good last year but he's only 29 so I don't think he's washed and it would be dumb to sell him, get some form back in the team overall and he could be back up among the best defensive midfielders in the world
