Ona Batlle, Barca to Arsenal, free

[Durhamfootman]

Klopp to Germany

[Durhamfootman]

Andrey Santos, Chelsea to Man U, £48M

Manzambi heading to Villa at the last minute and not Newcastle as expected. UCL football..... naturally

[Durhamfootman]

Tielemans, Villa to Man U

Got to sell players after gazumping Newcastle over Manzambi, having no money and having been fined for the second consecutive year for breaching financial regs

I don't know the fee, but it's Man Utd, so they've probably been screwed for way over the odds

Trossard to Besiktas £15M

Meunier to Sunderland

Diani to London City £500k

Rogers to Chelsea for £117M, subject to a medical on Monday

[andy]

Find it strange he would move to a basket case of a club like Chelsea...also does that mean Cole Palmer is on the move? Surely don't need both and they will both want to play every game

[Durhamfootman]

money does not always equal sense

competition can be healthy, but £117M is a lot of dosh just to get CP motivated

[andy]

Summerville off to Saudi apparently for 64mil I would be upset if he was going somewhere half decent but if he wants to move there at 24 years of age then good riddance

Garnacho to Villa, on loan

Aladji Bamba to Newcastle from Monaco, £34M

if there was any doubt that we are a 'trading' club now, I think he's the fourth 20 year old and under signing made with a view to the future, whilst all the top players at the club head for the exit door. They bought into the dream, watched it not materialise and left before they became too old to fulfil their own dream.

Still.... I have hopes that the signings made last season, will come good this season, but if this trend isn't to continue, then the owners need to build this new stadium and level the playing field a bit. It should have been finished, or nearly finished, by now, instead of stuck at the thinking about stage
