Why would Reina , who let's be honest has a sky high opinion of himself choose to cease being first choice at the second best club in Italy to be second choice at a Milan side with money issues ?

I think you're spot on , as a club we seemingly work at what , from the outside appears to be glacial speed , desperate to ensure we get the best deal imaginable , which although a good thing does not lend itself to the machinations of a very small post World Cup transfer window . I cannot see any United deals being pushed through and you could argue they need players just as much as we do . City got Mahrez but that's been going on since last season , Liverpool got Alisson but Keita the Gerrard fan who supported Barca as a child was done last season . Very little else appears to be happening and it has to be self inflicted lack of time I'm afraid . Nice way to show Sarri he is supported by the board though , although why he should be any different I don't know . So far we have bought a fancy version of a holding midfielder , whoop de do . Welcome to Sarriball lite.

Just as well , given the lack of action on the incoming player front .

That Keta one absolutely takes the biscuit. Childhood Barcelona supporter but used to pretend to be Gerrard ? Perhaps he was a fan of beating up DJ's ?

I wonder if he'll try two of the players favourite drills ? 'Lump it forward towards the dwarf' 'Tippy tappy around the giant' They love those . Also 'Hit the first man at the corner' , one of their specialities. He's got his work cut out.

It's the 21st July , the transfer window closes on August 9th . I don't think we have the time to get all the deals we want to conclude done , not at the speed the board are going .

Matteo Pedrosi on Twitter , apparently we are delaying things because we're trying for Pjanic and Monaco have outbid us by €5m whilst we dither .

Looks like Golovin to Monaco is imminent , also Athletico Madrid rumoured to want Giroud on loan.

I always hoped Kane would make the grade , always good when I saw him , with advances in sports medicine I'm sure he'll get back to his best and the Hull loan should be great for him hopefully.

I hope we have finally learnt our lesson regarding squad depth , what you have described above sounds great , I'd like Luiz to stay personally and unless he desperately wants out then I'd also like Morata to stay , I think he's too good to let go after one season . Courtois , has to go . We cannot afford to be out of pocket completely. The money Madrid are mentioning for Hazard is fine providing it comes with two players of our choosing .

We've already spent £60m on Jorginho , the way we as a club operate that means someone will have to go , I expect that someone to be Willian. We will be assisting the new coach in the way we assist all our coaches by not making the squad any stronger in depth whatsoever. If Higuain and Rugani come then a striker and a defender will go , Morata and Zappacosta the most likely (short termism in regards to Morata imho ) The pressure will be on to win the league , the cups , play Thursday's with the added bonus of having to be 'the entertainers' with too small a squad as per usual. Anyone who comes now will also arrive too late for any preseason. You can bet your bottom dollar it won't be the board's fault again.

Let's call it a moral victory for me and Big Toni and we won't say anything more on the matter .😝

Head coach doesn't buy the players shock. Club negotiating for another defender shock.

Didn't Deschamps absolutely hammer him during the World Cup for being a disruptive influence ? We need less of that , not more .

Schmeical sounds most likely then . Had a good World cup , good distribution , massive kick , bit short but so was Carlo and he was brilliant. I'm in.
