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

Aye but he only played a few games after joining us, a reported fee of £5m as well ffs. Due to the recent flops, I'm hoping we're done signing players from Ligue 1 as apart from perhaps Yohan Cabaye, the rest of them have been expensive and disastrous.

Now you'll sign dross from La Liga instead, courtesy of Rafa.

Played twice. Looked like he didn't actually know how to play centre midfield, which is fair enough as he was a winger until about three months before the season. Was heralded as superb by some, as he was a new signing.

Apparently Benitez didn't allow him to take part in training because of his lack of ability.

Still not the worst transfer of that window.

Wasn't Saivet a wonderkid winger/striker on FM07 ages back?

Meanwhile, Janmaat out, Yedlin in. Be interesting to see DJ's reaction if Watford go down.

Apparently we are trying to get Wilfried Zaha for £15m. The amount of players i've signed on FM/Fifa over the years that have ended up at Spurs in real life is getting ridiculous now.

Looks like Arsenal are buying Mustafi after all.

But to be fair it was pretty nailed on after Balague said he wasn't joining.

Krul has joined Ajax on loan. Gonna be weird seeing him play club games in someone else's shirt, but then hopefully it might improve his distribution. Assuming he gets fit.

Shane Duffy has joined Brighton from Blackburn, undisclosed fee.

I'm hoping he scores a treble of own goals on Saturday, presuming he makes his debut.

Former Rangers man Dean Shiels, released when his contract had expired, has joined League of Ireland side Dundalk.

Reports from Italy are suggesting we're going to sign Palermo left back Achraf Lazaar, speculation that it's a fee of £2.5m. Gael Bigirimana apparently has become the latest departure at St. James' Park, an agreement was reportedly reached on his remaining ten months of his deal and he's signed a one year deal at Coventry and that's a shame as he wasn't given a chance in the last season or two.

Can't believe people are talking about Hart moving to Sunderland just because Mannone is injured. Surely not even the wildest Sunderland fans can see any likelihood in that?

Liverpool seems to be the best and most likely option for him in my opinion, and it appears Garth Crooks', but don't see Klopp doing it. Koeman has said he doesn't want him but I would have liked to see him at Everton too.

Do we think he will go and if so, where?

Thought the same thing.

I'd even be very surprised if he went somewhere like Everton, surely he'd be aiming higher having been a title challenger + CL regular for the last few years.

Domestically, where else is there? Chelsea aren't in Europe this season and are probably happy with Courtois. United have De Gea who is better and I don't see City selling to United! Arsenal? Wenger probably has a nosebleed from what he has already spent this window (assuming Mustafi and Perez go through). Spurs have a competent goalkeeping duo in Vorm and Lloris. Is Leicester worth the risk? Champs League football but far from a guarantee they'll get it again. Don't see what other options there are domestically. I suppose abroad is always an option...

Can only think of Liverpool domestically, I think that'd be a good move for both parties, would be interesting to see him abroad though!

I think Hart stays at City for the season.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I think he'll eventually end up at Newcastle if they get promoted. I'd be shocked if Hart ended up abroad.

Interesting idea. IMO I don't see it - if we come back up it'll probably be Krul (who is on loan to Ajax for the year) or Sels, even if Hart is probably an upgrade on both.

Cheick Tiote looks set to be the latest player to leave Newcastle this summer and good riddance. Been reported with a link to Galatasaray but apparently he's also got offers from Russia, China, the UAE and interest from Hull City - according to the Chronicle as he's no apparent interest in playing in the Championship.

Good riddance?

He's been a great servant - in his prime he was one of the best DM's in the league.

His performance in the 3-0 over Man Utd

Yeah - since the end of the 2011/12 season, its been more bad than good (although he has good patches, like the last few games of last season, for example). Maybe we should've cashed in when people were valuing him at stupid fees in 2012 or 2013.

How busy are we expecting the final few days? I'm pretty sure at least 4 Premier League clubs want 4+ players, which is probably gonna make Jim White's head explode.

Looks like Chadli is off to the worlds biggest nothing club West Brom. We needed a winger before the window opened so with him leaving that should mean we definitely have one coming in. Could still do with another CB as well unless Pochettino likes Carter-Vickers enough to have him as 4th choice.

Achraf Lazaar is a done deal from Palermo - a fee of £3 has been reported and he's a left back.

Middlesbrough sign Callum Chambers on loan. Could be a good signing for them but what the hell are Arsenal letting him go for?

Sofiane Boufal to Southampton is confirmed. I hear he's meant to be a good player on FIFA.

If he was £3 he's definitely good value
