We've signed Columbian wonderkid Marlos Moreno for a fee of less than 5 mil pounds.

He has 7 caps for the Columbian senior side and will be loaned to La LIga side Deportivo La Coruna.

Stones is official.

Looks like Nasri, Mangala, and Bony are on the way out as well.

Yes. Although they've got to start selling a few.

No doubt. Nasri rumors seem to be picking up steam. I really thought he would get a shot under Pep but I understand it.

Bony has to be gone. Maybe we get a bit of the Stones money back from Everton.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the window shakes out.

Two years in a row now that UEFA has broken news of a city transfer deal. Last year it was Otamendi.

Looks like Pep won his CB transfer battle. Apparently, playing 2 players out of position at CB and making them look awful was enough to get the Stones deal done.

I've never understood this. Yes he can pass in a Pep system, but he's lazy. He's a less talented version of Yaya when he plays.

He can be absolutely electric at times and can play anywhere up top. At the least he would be great off the bench. He can leave a bit to be desired at times but I don't think I would put him on Yaya's level of arse dragging.

Gotta be. Kroos was just talk. Aubameyang got hot there for a minute but that one isn't happening. Only other player I can think of is ter Stegen but I don't think it happens either.

I'm to the point where I can't rule anything out


I really wish we gave Mangala another shot. Guy was pretty solid last year against PSG and few other late season matches.

Sane is out for Sunderland is apparently doubtful for the first leg against Steaua with a hamstring.

Also, apparently Denayer is not happy at all with the Stones signing (Understandably) and he wants out.

I bet he his. Year after year he gets told he's in first team plans then gets loaned out and now when your like this is his chance they buy a player at this point isn't even better than he is.

I haven't looked at any of those, but he's healthy?

Only thing I can think of is possibly an extended rest from the Euros (Not sure why he would need it).

I don't really get it though, even without Stones signing he was going to be the 4th defender. Word is, is that we're trying to offload Mangala. If he leaves he's still the 4th CB.

Granted, it's not like we can expect Kompany to play a full season.

Possible Pep just doesn't want him. I think he'll let Denayer walk and let Tosin be #4. Or let Fernandinho play at CB a bit.
