Hopefully Gomez & Jones are just squad fillers, don't think they are good enough to start week in week out.

We've signed Javi Guerra, Guido Burgstaller, Federico Macheda and Adam Le Fondre so far. All very good signings at Championship level for a combined £1M. Good business from Solskjaer. We should on paper be pretty good next season.

Really looking forward to seeing Immobile for Dortmund, looked the like of him for Torino last season. Could definitely be as good if not better replacement for Lewandowski imo.

So Liverpool sign Emre Can can't comment on him as I've never seen him play. Anyone able to tell me anything?

Chelsea have signed Fabregas.
That + Costa = PL champions.

I read somewhere that Chelsea is interested in bringing Drogba back. I'd so love that as Drogba is my favorite player ever and an absolute Blues legend. Doubt it though.

He's without a club I believe, could see him accepting a player-coach role and provide back-up/competition to Costa before retiring to a staff position. There's rumours they're re-signing Tiago who they had about a decade ago, so why not Drogba?

Pretty crazy transfer window so far, and it's technically only been open 5 days! Think we're in for an interesting few months.

Might have to re-think my "Hull will get relegated" theory. They're making some decent signings so far. A few more and they should be okay for the season.

Not sure about our transfer business so far. Fills me with optimism and dread at the same time. I'm not that bothered about losing Suarez. Granted he is by far our best player but with his suspension we could very well be out the title race and champions league before he's kicked a ball. Also this is the 3rd major incident since joining so probably best to let him go.
The Southampton trio (pending we get Lovren) has me split. I think Lambert is a useful squad player and I rate Lallana highly. Lovren I'm not sure. He impressed me last season but the price tag still seems to high. Don't know if I'm just concerned at signing 3 players from Southampton.
Not seen Can play but he's a position we need so hopefully does well. Also not seen Markovic but he's been scouted since October and rated highly by Rodgers which makes me less nervous about the signing. Origi looks like he could be a decent player and will hopefully have a successful loan spell at Lille.
We still need a left back and I would rather see us just pay the money for Moreno than sign Bertrand who I don't rate. And as far as departures it looks like Lucas and Agger will leave although I would rather they stayed. Hopefully Toure, Aspas and Reina are sold. And as far as loan players coming back I'd like to see Suso, Ilori and Wisdom given a chance but would imagine one of the defenders would have to go back out on loan.

I definitely think Emre Can is Liverpool's best acquisition this summer, I think he'll be great.

German side just had too much of it. Looked the part last season when he got a move away as well. Has the potential to be an absolute steal.

Guessing Di Maria's got to be nailed on to go to United now that Kroos is all but confirmed for Real Madrid. Immense signing for them, the best Centre Mid in the World for me. Kroos, Isco, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Khedira in the middle is outrageous.

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.
