    Last time Kagawa went from Dortmund to ManU and it did not end so well.

    Great for Mane, coming from the Austrian league and the Saints got paid.

    This is my greatest fear right now. Dortmund players haven't exactly exceeded expectations when they transferred to clubs outside the Bundesliga... They're like the Warriors. Good in a certain system, complete trash in others. Well. Hypothetically. No proof of that yet.

    I'm not sure how I feel about Ibra going to Man United. I rate Rashford and Martial very highly and I don't want to see them lose playing time.

    I doubt Martial loses any play time. He will continue to be deployed wide left for his pace and trickery.

    Rashford though will certainly lose time as Ibra will become the focal point of the attack.

    I want to see Memphis get another chance. I think younger first year players usually struggle to adapt to the PL. I really think he can be really good for us if we are patient with him.

    Wow, Sadio Mane to Liverpool for £34m.

    Our rumored deal with Mkhitaryan is between £27m-£32m. Crazy money thrown between English clubs. The fact that Crystal Palace can offer £31.5m for Batshuayi says it all. Incredible.

    Interesting, they have quite a task to rebuild their squad after their exits this offseason.

    I'm hoping Mkhitaryan can do well at United, Mourinho might just make them watchable again after a season of complete ineptitude.

    Prepare for a summer of throwing money out of the window moves

    Sven Goran Eriksson wants him that bad.

    Today LFC completed the signing of an overpriced forward in Mane.

    Oh well. I guess you can't expect top talent to come with the absence of European competition. And any mediocre talent that comes is paid like a superstar. I bet Jerry Lin can come and get a deal close to the max.

    Mane is actually a borderline star.....

    Jerry Lin at times... at other times not so much

    Most likely ones: Bellarabi, Schürrle, Ilicic, Pjaca, Boufal, Zinchenko, Oliver Torres.
    Also talks about André Gomes, but he's too expensive imo.
