Liverpool apparently is getting the Leoni deal over the line first. Insane summer of spending thus far. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1955712690040476106?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Two days ago, as these rumours got more pronounced, one of my friends mentioned that Palace turned down an offer of £60M for him in January! So £35M is far less. Not sure what happened in the interim, though I understand the player is eager for the move Not sure why as I don't see him as first...

And Sunderland have added Omar Alderete from Getafe https://www.sabcsport.com/soccer/news/sunderland-sign-defender-omar-alderete-from-getafe

While another comes in from Ligue 1 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cwy192l58z2o

One defender out for the Cherries https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c1leezv2r0zo

So Serie A (in Australia!) and La Liga (Miami) are conducting league fixtures in foreign lands this coming season. Can the EPL be far behind? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cvgv4mnv9zmo

It's also being widely reported, though nothing official, the Reds have agreed personal terms with Marc Guehi. That would be a coup, especially at the suggested price. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1955287687495078396?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Newcastle signed centre back Malick Thiaw from Milan today. Their third signing this summer. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c3dpp84lklxo

Focusing on the "beside myself" part: I really am. But if today proved anything (apart from how exciting a prospect Ekitike is), it's that way need someone to back up Ryan Gravenberch when he's not available. When Crystal Palace had possession/won possession today, they got through our midfield...

If Newcastle land Yoane Wissa from the Bees, Samu from Porto and Lucas Paqueta from West Ham, their business will end up looking really solid after having added Elanga. Even if Isak decides to leave. Nicolas Jackson would be icing on the cake...

l'OM is a Champions League outfit, too. Just hoping he finally blossoms there.

Didn't see this until this came to in my Google News feed: Timothy Weah is headed back to Ligue 1. He's going to Marseilles. https://share.google/EyNcKuZKF6Gpb9VWK

Sort of an embarrassing day when it comes to Americans in general with Son's unveiling. For some reason, the mayor was among those present and made a reference to him helping the US win next year's World Cup. 🤦 Then, one of the local sports reporters who interviewed him later marveled at his...

Oh, one more signing: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leaves Stamford Bridge to sign on at "new Goodison" (or whatever they're going to call the new place). Edit - looked it up: Hill Dickinson Stadium, named for a local Liverpool law firm. Wonderful. :rolleyes...

The Dubravka deal being necessitated by the sale of James Trafford back to Manchester City. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/45820139/man-city-transfers-james-trafford-signs-27m-deal-burnley This headline, of course, shows how out-of-touch ESPN are. Like Trafford is going to displace...

Once they sell Dubravka, as widely reported, it will down to five. ;) https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2025/08/06/newcastle-agree-fee-to-sell-martin-dubravka-medical-underway-and-move-imminent/

Of course, Isak may not be headed anywhere if they can't get a striker in. And it appears Benjamin Sesko is choosing United over Newcastle. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c79l8g84p59o

Looks like Darwin Nunez is headed to Saudi Arabia instead of Italy. Al Hilal is one of the clubs PIF own. Would be ironic if that helped spur Alexander Isak's move from Newcastle to Liverpool...

And Liverpool have sold another of their youth players, Tyler Morton, to Lyon. Talented young mid who found himself crowded out by the increasingly congested Liverpool midfield. Best wishes to him: always liked Tyler; played pretty well in the DM position when he was utilized...

Aston Villa sign Nice striker Evann Guessand https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cvgnpvzle1do
