Why are people still shocked about transfers this season, its fairly obvious that the TV money has pretty much turned the market on its head. 30 million today is like 15 million of 3/4 years ago.

15 million 3/4 years ago is still too much for Bolasie.

Aye Bolasie isn't that good.

Could have had Sissoko instead

I remember seeing Bolasie play on his debut for Plymouth six years ago, now he's joined Everton for £30M. Crazy.

Looks like Claudio Bravo to City will be done later this week. Four year deal.

What next for Joe Hart then I wonder? Despite a few shortcomings he's far too good to be sat on the bench, just not sure what other club he could go to.

I love how fans of all teams are falling over themselves to send Palace their rejects.

'They can have Benteke.'

'No. They can have Young.'

'No. They can have Sissoko.'

I believe he's been linked with Everton.

Somebody has to.

Although for now they've denied that and moved on to 2/3 other teams (Everton was linked this morning).

Some humorous stuff in the BBC column today:

Barcelona are interested in West Brom and Venezuela striker Salomon Rondon, 26. (Mirror)


Also, Watford are supposedly signing Pereyra from Juventus...that would be quite a snatch?

Now Liverpool are linked with Mustafi as well.

I genuinely fear that we'll fall out of the top 4 this season, too many sides have improved this offseason and I don't think we have the depth or mentality to catch up.

Mahrez has signed a new deal until 2020, and it doesn't have a release fee clause - supposedly.

He'll leave next summer anyway, but still.

Palace agree fee starting at £28million with add-ons for Christian Benteke.

How on Earth have Liverpool managed to get their money back for him?

Apparently the initial bid we rejected was only initial 23 mil, with the rest as a clause - if Palace qualify for CL, Benteke plays over 75% games and scores 20 goals

Because while he's a complete misfit for Liverpool he's exactly the kind of striker Palace have been looking for, and has been discussed here before, £28m isn't what it was as recently as last year.

I really should stop getting a bit bewildered by the worth of transfers for BPL clubs given that bottom this year earns the same as what the PL champions got last season. But even so, its a proper cash orgy. In 2010, when Palace nearly went under, their total debt was just over £30million - since rescuing the club and getting a bargain basement team scraping into the PL, those new owners have hit the fucking jackpot. Same with Bournemouth.

That initial bid, if true, is pretty delusional thinking, mind.

Meanwhile, Sunderland have signed Pienaar - who I thought had retired - while Kaboul is likely to join Watford, as is Roberto Pereyra. Lescott has turned down Rangers... must be content to stay in Villa's reserves.

He reportedly failed his medical. They could offer a deal to Senderos though instead.

Anybody know anything about him bar he was below average for Sunderland last season?

He's very quick and can run up and down the pitch all day, only made one substitute appearence for us so I haven't really seen much of him to be honest. Do you know if it's a permanent or loan deal?

£5million permanent is the current rumour.

I've heard good things about Alan Judge, who has also been linked with Newcastle today, but the fact he's injured until November is hardly a helpful sign.

I thought Yedlin was alright - better than Billy Jones at least, Spurs seeming to not rate him in the slightest is a massive worry.


Don't understand Benitez at all - rotates the squad heavily in August - yet willing to buy an injured player?

Janmaat is apparently off to Watford. Interesting choice, but might work better for them given they now do a 3-5-2 so probably have more onus on his attacking capability. Mbabu being loaned out might work out, even if a Swiss side in the Champions League is a surprise destination.

Seeing as Judge has the claim given by reporters and fans of being one of the best players of the division, I guess there must be thinking of it being better to have him on board and familiar with the team set-up. Although apparently it helps he's in the last year of his deal so less of a fee. Plus if Siem de Jong can pass a medical then someone with a double break in his leg surely can.

Henri Saivet has also departed, joining St. Etienne on a season long loan deal.
Tim Krul has been linked with a move to Ajax, replacing Jasper Cillessen who could be on his way to Barca.

Did he ever even play? You've certainly made some odd signings from Ligue 1 the last few years.
