Transfer Rumours 2015/16

Townsend will definitely be better than Thauvin who cost the same amount of money - and will almost certainly be better than Cabella.

Are you surprised Oxlade-Chamberlain has regressed? Pretty much every Arsenal player has, Wilshere, Walcott and Welbeck all have, as well as the likes of Chambers and Szczesny. Bellerin only became good because he was an accident.

One shite transfer doesn't mean other shite transfers get off the hook.

£12m for Shelvey is a lot better than £14m for Townsend regardless, you can guarantee the match commentary would be "long distance shot by Townsend, off target" non-stop for 90 mins

Amazed at Chelsea not offering Terry a new deal. Do they treat all their legends like that? Terry and Lampard both should have been allowed to retire there.

Absolutely an appalling decision. He's still far and away our best defender and first name on the team sheet. Not only do you lose an exceptional defender, but his immense leadership and experience. The development seen in Zouma this season by playing with Terry has really helped him oust Cahill and establish himself in the side.

His importance extends beyond the pitch. Even if he stayed and played less, he'd still be a valuable assets in the side. I loathe to think who will be captain now amongst a side that has absolutely no leaders. As much as I like Ivanovic, I cringe at the thought of him being captain because that will most likely mean he'll remain first choice RB when he also has declined.

The plus side, there's still a few months left for him to continue his good form and show he's still pivotal through our rebuild.

BBC just announced he's signed?

'subject to a medical'

Wasn't there rumours that Cahill was looking to leave too?

I suspect this means you will be back in hard for Stones in the summer, but a centre-back pairing of Zouma and Stones hardly oozes experience.

Complications with Doumbias medical apparently.

Edit: Actually it says subject to a medical which means he's not signed and they're simply lying...

We got linked earlier with re-signing Jose Enrique, to which my response was "Why?"

Though apparently we wouldn't offer him a long-term contract so he's back to playing FIFA and Mario Kart on £60k a week wages at LFC. Hard life but someone has to do it.

Stoke spending £18m on a player, crazy times.

So we didn't sign a striker in the end. I wonder how long it will be before Kane gets injured then.

I know he's technically not a striker, but Son has done alright when he's played upfront hasn't he?

He did ok, but it would probably work better if he played as a false 9.
