Surely Manchester United aren't putting all their faith into Luke Shaw? Both Evra and Buttner gone, they really need a backup or someone who's versatile, wouldn't mind seeing Daley Blind in the Premier League. Don't think anything about Evra is confirmed is it? I want him to stay but if he leaves to facilitate Vidal then I'd be fine with it, but we would need another LB.

Think Kroos is getting a bit overrated. He'll do well in La Liga I'd imagine though. Better than he would have in the PL. I feel it probably signals the end for Khedira more than di Maria though. Khedira (despite playing the CL final) missed the majority of last season while di Maria shone when he was expected to be pushed out by Bale. Khedira is a more defensive option that anyone else in the squad which is a good option to have when changing things up, but I just can't see why they'd want to sell di Maria.

Khedira and Illarimendi are the only real grafting Midfielders they have. Di Maria's work can be done by Isco/Modric, and they'll probably get around £35,000,000 for him. Headsgone if you're saying Kroos is overrated though. On and off the ball he's absolutely perfect at what he does, knows exactly the right thing to do everytime, everything has a reason.

Don't think they'll sell Khedira, they were so desperate for him to be fit for the CL final. He's clearly valued there.

He's getting there imo. Don't get me wrong. I think he's fantastic, but you're not exactly the first person I've had tell me lately he's the best midfielder on the planet. Give it a years and maybe, but he's still a lot to prove. I understand Bayern only sold due to his wage demands, but if he's that good, surely you give him what he wants? Can't wait to see how he pairs up with Modric though. Just a case of who actually will be the 3rd man in midfield. I've said it for a few years, but the strength in depth at Madrid is insane. I don't think we've ever seen a group of individuals like it and it just gets better and better. Saying that, they're lacking up front unless the likes of Jese and Morata are expected to push Benzema this coming season. Benzema needs competition if you want the best out of him. That's why I'm surprised they didn't go back in for Suarez, but talk of Falcao again. Can't wait to see how Ancelotti has them set up.

Well Morata won't be any competition for Benzema if he's joining Juventus...

Sanchez will be great for Arsenal, expect he'll secure them top 4 for another year. Not sure how well Suarez will fit in at Barca but think Liverpool were right to get rid.

Not to bothered about him going especially with him being out until November. Just need to make sure we invest the money wisely and don't end up doing what we did the last time or what Spurs done.

Right now rumor is that Wesley Sneijder is going to be heading on over to Manchester United. Well at least Suarez is out of the British Premiere League! We went ahead and picked up Fernando, the guy is incredibly humble, and can't wait to see what he'll do along an already strong mid-field.

From what I've seen Markovic is really a technician should be interesting to see how he'll tie into Liverpool.

Just....just say 'Premier League'. BPL. No one calls it the "British Premiere League". The acceptable terms are Barclays Premier League/BPL, English Premier League/EPL or Premier League/PL. Them's the laws. It'd be like me calling the NFL the "American Football Competition".....it's madness.

Markovic is off to Liverpool. How do you rate him? Future World Class player. Total package: technique and will. A lot of passion for the game too. Its a 25M deal. Watch his goal vs Sporting last season. Oblak is also leaving for At. Madrid on a 20M dael. Gaitan is linked with Man Utd on a 25M deal. Garay is off to Zenit on a 15M deal. Rodrigo to Valencia on a 30M deal and Andre Gomes off to Valencia on a 15M. Enzo Perez is linked with Man Utd on a 25M deal. Siqueira left for At. Madrid on a 14M deal from Granada (was on loan at Benfica). Basically we will have to start from scratch next year as always. Pisses me off that we could have a team with Matic, David Luiz, Di Maria,Coentrao, Witsel,Garay, Markovic, Rodrigo, Ramires etc etc and competing for the champions league but our little tv rights income keeps pushing us down...
