That will either be the best or worst deal of all time. 60% chance he will hardly score and a 40% chance he will bang in 20 goals and be worth £60m next summer

As much as I detest them, this deal calls out for the 'buy-back clause'. It's a carbon copy of Leicester's Iheanacho purchase. That or a seriously weighty sell-on percentage
 
L'Equipe reporting that we refused to enter into negotiations for Aurier until PSG agreed to sign an 'exclusivity clause' that stated the player and his representatives would refuse to speak to Chelsea (specifically) if and when they tried to enter the frame.

I can't see how, if Swansea are selling us Llorente, why they aren't asking as Janssen on loan to cover the loss. Who are they going to sign at this late stage, Diego Costa?

There's some footage of him on YouTube, wearing a Spurs shirt and impersonating Roberto Soldado,without his lenses in, that may have something to do with it.

They're looking to bring back Bony, apparently.
Some dispute with City over the terms because of his wages, though. Hellas Verona also interested.
