Where are all the Chelsea signings ? Already spent a fortune on fees and wages for Werner, Ziyech, Havertz, Chilwell, Willian, Sarr, Silva.

Nunez has really turned his career around, the season before he arrived, Doherty was being touted around to go out on a free transfer, nearly went to Stoke but the deal collapsed.

Nuno is an excellent manager, often forgotten about when people talk about the top PL managers

Doherty will be relieved he didn't end up at Stoke!

Chelsea close to sealing Kai Havertz.

An initial fee of £72mil but it could rise to £90mil.

Will take Chelsea's spending past £200mil.

As one brave journo pointed out, what does this mean for the old "good ole Frank bringing through the youth players".

Malang Sarr, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz.

Where does this leave Hudson- Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Billy Gilmour etc?

Ben White has signed a new four-year contract until June 2024.

"I have been looking forward to working with Ben for a long time," said boss Graham Potter.

"He was a player I was well aware of, even before I came to the club.

"He had a brilliant season helping Leeds to the title last season, and now he has the opportunity to show his qualities in the Premier League."

:-D Couldn't blame him Leon - he has to accept reality and there's no point sulking. Who knows, this new experience could get him even better for if we do subsequently get him. :-D

Everton closing in on what on paper is a very impressive double deal.

James Rodriguez (remember him) from Real Madrid.

And Allan from Napoli.

Both potentially very good signings although Everton throw money about all the time and never progress so we will see.

Downside for us could be the £21mil Napoli receive for Allan.

While not similar players it would give Napoli some funding and they are well known fans of Rodrigo De Paul according to Italian media.

Kai Haverz on his way to London for a medical.

WBA lose to signing Grady Diangana in a club record deal after beating competition from Fulham and Villa.

Ryan Fraser in Newcastle for discussions over a transfer.

Villa have had a bid of £15mil plus add ons rejected for Callum Wilson.

Aside from Havertz nothing to be remotely jealous of.

Looks like West Ham is very much in turmoil.

Wow thought it would be some sort of spoof account but does appear to be Mark Noble.

My word, they really are in a tail spin over selling Diangana. The fee does seem ridiculously low considering the fleecing Brighton wanted to give us to get their loan player. Also interesting to see how the Irons support recognize WBA as a relegation rival and the damage this transfer does to that fight.

I do feel sorry for West Ham. They’ve always had top passionate support, not glory hunters like many in London, their owners are a joke ( something we know only too well in our recent history) and they’ve lost their spiritual home moving to that athletics facility. They look to be in real trouble before the season even starts.

I did too when I first saw it. Several players of theirs commenting on his farewell insta post pretty much saying the same.

Having financial issues as well apparently; and can't seem to shift their 100k + p/w players

Fair play to Mark Noble having the balls to speak out. Cant remember any of our Captains speaking out in the past.

Others have chipped in apparently.

Declan Rice liked the post, seen Snoddy mentioned to by West ham fans.

Fans and players vs the board.

Where do you go from there?
