    And they've already signed Ethan Laird , Krystian Bielik and Tyler Roberts. And Japan international Koji Miyoshi. All for less than £2m each

    Quietly having a very good window.

    That’s an unbelievable amount of money. Even for a very rich person like Jordan, it’s a game changer and will put him into another bracket of wealth. Extremely difficult to turn down and I suppose that’s the idea for the Saudis to get past peoples’ moral objections.

    How can any mentally rich bastard go and work for twats who happily butcher people anywhere and just chuck money everywhere to keep the f uckers onside and keep their mouths shut. It’s sick when people have millions already happily go and work for them. Wouldn’t bother me one jot if they all died of a Middle East plague while they are over there, worthless t wats.

    What they did to Khashoggi was appalling. With all of this talk of expensive footballers going there, his case went out of my mind for a bit until you mentioned it.

    Yep. Barca got caught out when they set Neymar's buy out as "low" as £200m. Now they make them so high that they should never be bought out.

    Villa are doing some excellent business. They need another striker to be truly competitive in my opinion but they will be looking to win the Europa League and be lurking just outside the top 4 waiting for someone to slip up.

    That's a disastrous first signing for Everton. Even if you could justify signing him this summer, it's terrible PR for him to be the first one through the door.

    Add to that, the Johnny Evans rumours and it almost looks like the club are just filling the squad with a couple of low cost place holders until the owner can sell up.

    Ignoring the furore around where he might be moving to, he will be a massive miss for Liverpool both on the pitch and around the squad.

    I know he is getting on a bit but it’s not easy to replace a character like that in the squad unless there is already a plan in place.

    *Edit - turns out he played 43 club games in all competitions last season which shows he is still very much part of the first team.

    Fabinho going as well, they were already light and their midfield is nowhere near City or Arsenal now, even United, Chelsea and them up the road looks stronger CM now.

    If they aren’t converting Trent, which I hope they are as an England fan, they need at least 3 in CM to cover the games. Big ask and surely they gonna compromise quality wise.

    Mac Allister is a great signing, but he isn’t getting in City or Arsenal first 11, Szobozloi is absolute quality but he’s a 10.

    Im not sure what their plans are but it looks messy as **** as it stands.

    When it gets that far, that's me done with it.

    It is a deeply odious country, evil is not too strong a word. Any player going there is aiding and abetting a country that has no compulsion in executing children and exercising, even boasting, about many other abominations.

    Economic links might be justified by the Realpolitik involved. But acting as a paid human screen puts every one of the footballers, golfers and whoever else comes next, down in the sewer with their paymasters.
