I didn't think Swansea were going to do well this season, selling off their strikers. Now they have Llorente, whom I've always been fond of, and they seem to be bolstering their striker ranks with Borja from Atletico Madrid.

sorry!

*zips mouth*

Ooo I am excited to see how this develops! Everyone loves the local boy come good at his local team, plus the added bonus of being a minnow. All the best for this

Shit the bed, we actually made a decent signing, albeit on loan.

Great name too, Michael Cain join Blackpool for season.

Was at Walsall last season and their fans seem to like him, too good for League 2 even!

It turns out it is at the request of West Ham as they wanted the game to be a sell out and worried it would have a low attendance if on TV

I definitely am!

Looking forward to that tasty Celtic tie. If their form in real life reflects into your game, you stand a great chance

Interested to see where you end up, good luck with all the interviews!

What the hell Bt Sport!? No coverage of either game tonight.

Well, Celtic just about managed to scrape through again. A last minute penalty secured their place in the next round and Moussa Dembele's first goal for the club. Surely in the next round they are going to fave sterner competition and will no doubt crumble? The safety net of Europa League football is there now, however.

Would Forest really be paying 100% of wages, at £31k, in the Championship?

It's a shame as I think it would have been a good challenge, but then again so is getting Braintree into the league proper!

Onwards and upwards!

I remember that, weren't they in the same group as Spurs?

-------

Tonight Celtic need to channel the spirit of Dundalk if they are to overcome Astana in the second leg! I don't think they'll make it easy for themselves but surely they'll manage...

Mo Diame is a good signing, shows the turmoil Hull must be in if he chose to drop down a division rather than play in the Premier League. We all expect Newcastle to go straight back up, but at the age of 29 you'd've thought he would want to play as much as he could in the top division.

Man City have been busy too, Sane yesterday and Gabriel Jesus today (albeit he actually joins City in January). Pep is making some good signings but I still think he needs to sort out the defence, urgently!

Conte has got rid of some dead weight in the Chelsea squad, managing to get Salah to sign permanently for an Italian team this time.

Also, Leicester have brought in Kapustka whom you may recognise from the Poland team at the Euros. Surely this does not hint at an exit for Mahrez, but I am sure it will be played up that way.

Villa are splashing some cash again too, and again I don't think much of what they've spent on a player. £12 mill for Ross McCormack, who is a good Championship striker at best in my view. Slightly strange that Fulham have accepted the bid, as I swear I read that they rejected the same amount from Norwich when they bid and were holding out for £15mill. Good dodge for Norwich either way.

Leicester v Barcelona kicks off 7pm BST tonight!

I think if you could save them, it'd be worth it in the long haul. Are you confident enough in your own abilities?

What's their squad like? If it's small and decimated by injuries, then probably not savable!

8 grand on flags?! That's a lot of bunting!

We've also signed another world beater, Eddie Nolan joins. Released by York after their relegation, fans are saying he is garbage and one of their worst players last season. Operation conference in full swing!

Really chuffed, didn't think they could pull it off but fair play! Convincing win too. That means they've at least got a place in the Europa League group stages, which I think would be awesome enough in itself. However, only one round away from the champs league group stage!

This is good to see. I hope more clubs plan similar to demonstrate to the efl what a joke they have made of this competition. I would say it'd be the same at Bloomfield, but the only people in the stadium will be scabs anyway.

Irish team Dundalk need to turn around a 1-0 deficit tonight to stay in the Champion's League. A tough task against BATE but I hope they do it!

5 mill for a back up Championship CB/LB

Actually, that is probably the norm. Doubt we've ever spent that much on a squad, nevermind a player! Our big signing from non-league Jarrett Rivers has gone back to whence he came, returning to Blyth Spartans after having zero impact. We might be signing Chris Atkinson who left Crewe in the summer. Never heard of this player, any input welcome!

Ohhh, throwing away a 3-0 lead is harsh. I hope you gave those players the hairdryer treatment!

Congrats on surviving the takeover! With all that money now burning a hole in your pocket I'm surprised at the lack of money spent bringing players in.

Can't Clark cover at left back too?

Some interesting figures from the Championship 2014/15 season.



Blackpool: Highest profit, lowest wages - bottom of the league.

Bah, no more Pokevision "cheat" website since they've come down hard on all unofficial websites and apps.

At least I am finally getting a bit better at this game! Shame I don't really stand a chance against all the kids and unemployed! Met someone at the lake near work today who must be plowing money into the game, must have bought and used 9 lures! I never understand people who pump money into phone app games.

Flying up the leagues, play offs are always the more enjoyable way of going up too

If you manage promotion again this season it will be an immense rise to professional football in such a short space of time. Best of luck!

Hah, I like the transfers given from the perspective of the buying clubs!

Hooray, you're alive and your story is revived! Time to change your username to Lazarus.

Hopefully the form will keep your league position rising too.

I know in the past the league has already been set up and simply creating a new team would automatically enter you back into the Susie League, but it seems to have changed this year (or at least it has for me? I don't see any private leagues anymore).

So with that in mind I've created a new league for us, usual website: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/

League code: 755599-205172

Good luck to all!

West Ham not letting the money burn in their pocket, £16 mill seems to be the fee agreed for Sakho and they've bid £20 mill for Swansea's Ayew.

Away from Pogba, if we may, Sakho (the West Ham striker) seems to be going to West Brom as a fee has been agreed. Good signing for them, they've had no luck with strikers (that actually want to play for them).
