Liverpool got Thuram?! That’s amazing news! Can’t wait to see him in action for the Reds. Hope the talks with Kone go well too. We need some fresh talent in the squad.

Kovacic headin’ to Man City? Seriously? Chelsea, don’t let him go! He’s been a key player for us. Ah well, guess it’s part of the game. Let’s see who else Chelsea can bring in, like Caicedo maybe?

Man United missin’ out on Kane ’cause of Levy? Ugh, typical! We need a top striker and Kane would’ve been perfect. Gotta find someone else now. Maybe we should consider loanin’ out Greenwood for some game time.

Newcastle eyein’ Adams, Barnes, and Maddison? Sounds like a solid plan. We need to strengthen the squad after that relegation scare. Come on, Magpies, let’s bring ’em in and bounce back!

Gundogan attractin’ interest from PSG? Can’t blame ’em, he’s been on fire for Man City. But we better hold onto him. He’s been crucial for our midfield. Don’t let him go, Pep!

Raya costin’ 40 mil? Are Brentford kiddin’?! He’s good, but not that good. Tottenham should look elsewhere or negotiate a better deal. Don’t break the bank for him, Spurs.

Fresneda as a right-back option for Arsenal? Hmm, never heard of him. But if the scouts think he’s worth it, why not give him a shot? We could use some fresh blood in the defense.

Gerrard as Leicester’s next manager? Now that’s an interesting choice. He did well at Villa, so maybe he can turn things around for us. Let’s see how it pans out.

Zidane turnin’ down PSG? Wow, didn’t see that comin’. Wonder what his next move will be. The managerial merry-go-round never stops in the world of football!

Come on, Tottenham! Lower that fee for Kulusevski. He’s a talented player, but 35 mil seems a bit steep. Negotiate a better deal, Spurs, and get your man.

Loanin’ out Greenwood? Nah, we need him in the squad. He’s got potential, just needs more playin’ time. Keep him at United and let him shine, Ole!
