Are City going to drop Laporte or am I missing something? Maguire would be a fine addition. Heās way too expensive but itās only oil money so who cares
Kompany left, they need someone to partner Laporte
Its blood money, get it right.

Yeah, so it wonāt be Stones and Maguire.
Itās tough to get blood money from a Stones
Well spotted mate. But its possible one or two might pick up injuries from time to time, so its good to have another player there to cover I guess.
Doping tends to help with avoiding injury, though itās not foolproof, as Chris Froome found out last week
De Ligt to Juve for ā¬70m.
Iām a bit surprised by this, Sarri only plays with two centre halves and Rugani is a player he had at Empoli and tried to bring with him to both Napoli and Chelsea but Juve wouldnāt budge. So I struggle to see how he will keep Bonucci, Chiellini, Rugani and De Ligt all happy. They were also said to have been close to signing Sassuolo centre half Merih Demiral for ā¬15m and signed Genoa centre half Cristian Romero for ā¬20m - presumably they will be loaned out.
Rabiot also looks set to join Juve on a free.

Is Barzagli finished?
They clearly think Bonucci is close to the end too given they already cashed in on him once. Rugani looks a fine player.
Barzagli retired at the end of the season.
Bonucci had a great season, plenty left in him yet. He left due to a big fallout with Allegri the first time around.
Chiellini getting on but still one of the best about.

400k Sterling per week in wages iirc
Buffon to Leeds 
Atletico about to spunk all the Griezmann money on a teenager from Benfica.
Chelsea are signing Mateo Kovacic for ā¬45m
This is happening through the specially built new window in which clubs banned from signing players can sign players
Kovacic is shit and I may have mentioned this before
Chelsea are activating an option to buy on a player who was them last season.
Up the Villa.

Itās not that they canāt sign players. they canāt register them. Assume he is registered with Chelsea until the first of July when the new season starts so they can extend it, same as an existing player signing a new contract.
Athletico signed Diego Costa before despite having a transfer ban but they couldnāt register him for 6 months until the embargo was up
