Bazoumana Toure to Newcastle £43M

Seemingly he's a young and raw winger.... needs work.... £43M

better work fast, then, and hope he turns out to be a brilliant signing to justify the money

[Durhamfootman]

Looks as though Newcastle have signed midfielder Sean Steur (me neither) from Ajax. An 18 year old wonder kid (aren't they always) and Newcastle sign at least 2 of those every year, very few of which have done anything else than go out on loan until they are eventually sold on to help balance the books. Still.... they've paid £23M for this lad, so maybe this one will be different. Fingers crossed.

Jaiden Anthony, Burnley to Brentford £17M

Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle

Newcastle will try and persuade him to stay, but realistically will have to aim to get as much money as they can for him from Arsenal. The £60M offered is frankly a derisory amount for such a key player. He's better than both Gordon (70M) and Tonali (100M)

There were 4 marquee players in this side and in the space of less than a year all have gone.

Square one... total rebuild required

At least Livramento is out injured, so that might cool Man City's interest until January

Harry Wilson, Fulham to Leeds, free

Strange one that

Guimaraes has asked to leave Newcastle

A good player, but he seems to have a distorted view of himself. He isnt that good.

Santos, Chelsea to Man U, £50M

Santos, Chelsea to Man U, £50M

Serious waste of money that

[Durhamfootman]

Another Wilson... Callum signs for Brentford. 12 month deal

[Durhamfootman]

Oscar Mingueza to Palace on a free

[Durhamfootman]

Darlow to Man U, one of the more surprising moves

Darlow to Man U, one of the more surprising moves

I thought it was strange however...he's only gonna be number 2 plenty of prem experience and better than onana haha

[Durhamfootman]

maybe he prefers not being number 1?

maybe, being on a free and Man U always being daft, he got a pay offer he couldn't turn down

[Durhamfootman]

Niamh Charles, Chelsea to Man C, £500K

not often transfer money gets mentioned for women
