I think that’s a good signing for Arsenal. He is better in a 3 man defence or in front of the defence. I wouldn’t trust him in a central pairing but good passer of the ball. Also think Inter got a good deal with Lukaku. In today’s market thats cheap for a striker who will get you 20+ goals a season.

I thought he excelled last season in a central pairing with Rudiger. It's actually a great bit of business by Arsenal as between himself and Tierney they've significantly strengthened their defence. Sokratis struggled a bit last season but having a joker like Mustafi beside him really didn't help. Luiz should complement him, much the way he did with Rudiger, and they could be a decent pairing for Arsenal.

Leicester got €80m for an England defender. Even Bristol City managed to get €24m for a defender who's never played premier league. Ye were robbed

Andy Carroll to Newcastle a done deal - definitely getting relegated now

It was a very unusual fee. It was way too low for an English international who had 3 years left on his contract. I suspect there are other factors we don’t know about.

Good luck to Carroll up there.
However, WHU did everything they could for the guy, especially in relation to recruitment policy and team selection. The striker merry-go-round West Ham have had since 2012 has been entirely down to the belief that a fit Carroll was more than enough. The signings of Jarvis, Downing, Amalfitano, Zarate, Payet, Lanzini, Tore, Feghouli, Arnautovic (amongst others) we made to supply him. Kevin Nolan was kept in the team to work off him. Sakho and Valencia split up to accommodate him. The list goes on. A record signing, who ultimately left on a free transfer, played Less than 150 games and scored 34 goals.

Great strike.
And his hat-trick against Arsenal, double against Swansea in 2014 to send WHU 3rd in the league in December 14, there were high points.

He'll have a decent start and do alright for about 20 games until he implodes again. Bizarre signing. A pairing of Luiz and Mustafi is lunacy

You can't have watched him last season, when with the exception of one CL game against City, he was absolute dogsh*t just about every single game he played. Really terrible. So ask yourself this: why were Spurs so happy to let him go, even though they are light at RB? How come Levy only got £20m, when he got £50m for Walker a couple of seasons earlier? Why did Southgate drop him like a stone? Why did no other English club come in for him when he was gping so cheaply, relatively speaking? I don't know the answer to these questions, but something has gone seriously wrong, as he alluded to here: Mauricio Pochettino allowed the ex-Burnley ace to leave North London, with Trippier claiming it was the right time for him to leave the club. He told Sky Sports: "I think it was time for me to change and move on. "I don't necessarily mean that I needed to move on, but things happened behind the scenes at Tottenham, which I don't really want to go into. "But I needed to move on from that." https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9598044/trippier-spurs-atletico-madrid-things-happened/ I don't wish the guy any harm, but Spurs fans are as happy to move on as he is, you can count on that. |

I suspect Simone knows whatever it was and realises it's nothing too major. You can't imagine he's going to spend £25m on someone he thinks is a bad player As for other English teams, I suspect Spurs didn't want to sell him to a rival

Best summer signing?
Rodri - Man City? Tierney - Arsenal? AWB - Man U? Ndombele - Spurs? Heeeead - Man U? Surprised that Arsenal spent the most. Without being biased I think Spurs has the best. Only lost Trippier but got 3 good players in. |

£66m net spend for City this summer, compared with £17m last summer.
Who have Leicester signed?

Not sure how to define best summer signing but certainly one of the clubs who have made the shrewdest number of signings is Brighton. Among the new arrivals Mooy, Trossard and Maupay stand out as players who could have a significant impact on their survival. In fact I don't see them anywhere near the relegation spots come May. One other important signing is Potter. Expect a radically different style of play from the seagulls this season with Montoya and March bombing on from their wingback positions. At the other end of the scale is Everton. A scatter gun approach from them in the transfer market. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Silva is bulleted before the end of the season.

I wouldn't say he is an upgrade on any of them.

Tielemans, club record £40m-odd from Monaco, Perez from Newcastle (£30m) and Praet from Sampdoria (£18m): Don't know much about the other two, but having seen Tielemans last season, he could just turn out to be the signing of the summer, even at that price.

He's completely different to those players tbh. He's great at dribbling at pace with the ball, but can often lack the end product as he's not as technically gifted as Sigurdsson or Bernard. He improved a lot under Emery, seemed to play with more confidence and was a good impact player off the bench at times. It's a pity he didn't succeed at Arsenal as he has a good attitude. If he can get a level of consistency, he'll be a good player for Everton.
