Everton are close to spending £85m. Guess the Lukaku deal has been agreed some time back.

The 32-year-old suffered the accident while cycling on a family holiday, and despite it not being a serious break that requires an operation, it does mean the club will have to tailor his pre-season training accordingly.

Significant.

Don't see Llorente being fit for start of the season with fractured bone in lower arm.

Southampton - Swansea
Swansea - United
Palace - Swansea


Go Tammy

CHELSEA

Looks like we're defo signing a CB then with Ake going. And I've started to clock that Christensen could actually be a bit shafted by us here. Always just assumed after how successful his loan was that we'd just be a bit stupid to not utilise him

That's not to say buyback hasn't been inserted, club might just want to keep that on the down-low this time round.

Do we have any idea how good Hazard the younger actually is...

I've never seen him myself

Re. Llorente...read my following comment, Pepper.

Sigurdsson is not top 6 material.
Thorgan is no Eden.

Thorgan had actually been linked with mid-table PL sides recently.

Nice

LWB to replace Ake.

Christensen wont succeed with usyou need to be bought not developed to make it here

Maybe we could just give Gladbach £50m and pretend we bought him?

If Ake manages to match or surpass the level of Christensen (down the line) then he would have done well and very likely returns.
