£60M is fucking ridiculous.

I guess i can't really comment as I've not seen him play, but £60M for a player who couldn't get into Chelsea's first team. Really? I don't know what happened with him at Chelsea but that much money is a massive risk.

Granted he's had a brilliant season in the Bundesliga, but after failing once in English football, will he settle in and do well this time?

Seriously, Sam, this is a really daft sentence.

I actually think he's a great player and if someone like John Stones is being valued at the £40m mark it's probably only slightly more than he's actual value. Sadly.

I'm with that Chelsea fan on this one.

De Bruyne becoming this good was unforseen. Although I'm not sure what De Bruyne has done wrong? He wanted to play more football and then played a lot better. He made his point well.

Although he's had a poorish start to the season, so beware of a purple patch I guess.

Surely it'd be better for KdB to prove he's not a one-season wonder and he can do it again for Wolfsburg. But then clearly football culture is now about hyping up anyone who has one decent season to preposterous levels.

Better in what way, though? I'd say he's done pretty good to be moving to a team with better team-mates and a significantly bigger pay cheque. I'm not sure how much he can improve on that with Wolfsburg, I can't imagine another successful season there would see him get much more than he is going to now or improve significantly as a player.

Evans is going to West Brom. £8m fee.

He was good under Fergie but the decision to sell him is an easy one.

Pity to see it not work out for Evans but he wasn't consistent enough.

Should be a good player for West Brom.

He just wasn't good enough when it came down to it.

I don't think he was particularly bad at anything and couldn't cope when expected to be the senior partner so should cope well at a club with lower expectations on him.

Found it quite funny.

In other news, De Bruyne is flying to Manchester.

Surprised nobody has gone in for Reus this summer, especially Man City. I know he'll cost a shit load but they can offer CL football and can afford him, plus he is better than de Bruyne too.

Blackett out of loan to Celtic seems done too. So thats Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Blind and McNair we have for CB's this season? A tad worrying with Smalling, Jones and Rojo's injury records.

Blackett barely played last season, even with the injuries we had, played half of those games at left back, and was hardly great.

We're better off with Carrick as a makeshift centre half than Blackett I reckon if injuries get that bad again.

Soooo, since the result today we've been linked to Charlie Austin and Anthony Martial.

Anthony Martial comes from a bit more of a reliable source though.

The Charlie Austin rumours were started by a fake twitter account that almost exclusively posts in French and posted less than a month ago that
Arsenal were going to be dissolved because Wenger was caught having sex with a cow.

Somehow Howard Nurse fell for it.

Looks like Chicharito is off to Leverkusen, £12M.

Also Liverpool have accepted a £10M bid from Sunderland for Borini.
